2nd for Onosato heals on the Dohyo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXi_iFbSAdkChris says kiriSHITma is going to be yokozoona
Any injuries to know about?
>>265236Anon assblasted by a demotion to sekiwake.

>>265236Waka might be bowing out
>yokozoonaESL post
>>265232Gotta keep the skateboarders on their toes, anon.
>>265236WTK is fuckedHosh is fuckedSato's shoulder is (still) fuckedWord on the street is the YDC has said they'll have a discussion if Kirishima wins July. At this rate he'll fucking zensho it and rope.
>>265245That's complete bullshit. If Kirishima can get promoted to yokozuna just for winning in July, the YDC should be completely disbanded because clearly there's no point to it anymore.
>>265248Uhhh anon he got a 12-3JY in May, losing in a playoff to WTK. 12-3JY 13-2Y would be a historically low standard hence why many people think the discussion starts at 14-1, but I mean seriously, look at the faggots wearing ropes right now. Byambachuluun Lkhagvasuren would've roped two years ago if his neck hadn't exploded.
>>265249Yes I'm aware and Hoshoryu's record should have never gotten him the promotion either. He's a good ozeki but nothing more. Onosato is the only actual yokozuna-material rikishi performing right now.
>>265250I'd argue uninjured Aonishiki is more impressive than uninjured Onosato and I'm not even OP, though his two yusho both being 12-3 is sorta weak. I miss May '25 Onosato who just held W all the time.
>>265251Let's see that gaijin win multiple days in a row with one arm like Onosato did. He would never be able to compete at Onosato's level while sustaining an injury.
>>265252The only puzzling thing about Onosato's injury is how he managed 10-5 in January. Maybe the presence of Emperor-sama helped. Dan was fighting with a broken toe in March thanks to Churanoumi, and couldn't fight in May thanks to the brother of the guy who JUST HAPPENED TO WIN IT. Lowkey conspiracy is WMH is scalping faggots so WTK can yusho. Just look at the way he threw Kirishima before even touching the rope, almost as if he knew Kirishima would land awkwardly on the edge of the dohyo and get injured.
>Local Football(handegg) team had a player visit japan and did a little sumo wrestlingneat
>>265261Are you talking about when Micah Parsons went to Arashio and failed miserably at pushing WMH even an inch after struggling with a literal nobody?
>>265257>Lowkey conspiracy is WMH is scalping faggots so WTK can yushoThere's a specific term for when a brother defeats his brother's rivals to help set him up for a win.
>>265263>We have a kanji for that IN GERMANYI don't care.
>>265264kekked but rude
I will also be showing up to the July basho to injure people so Shishi will win.
>>265264German doesn't use kanji, retard.
>>265249>Onosato is the only actual yokozuna-material rikishi performing right now.That hasn't been the case since September.
>>265262>>265261He's probably talking about this. I have no idea who or where this is though. https://x.com/SleeperRavenss/status/2071215444397048010/video/1
I miss Isegahama slop
>>265277It's almost as if he lost complete use of one of his arms.
>>265282He'd be back in form by now if he'd just gotten that surgery. My faith in Kisenosato is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable.
>>265290I can't argue with you there, he could have healed instead of choosing to fight injured.
>>265294nah, he should have healed on the dohyo more
>>265249>the discussion starts at 14-1they said that same "muh high standards" bullcrap when horseryu was up for promotion and then he got a 12-3 and they promoted him anyway.and now we have a trash zuner who can't even yusho
It never feels really real until I see this.
>>265305*12[+2]-3 though.
Three Yokozuna are currently tied for the longest time as a Yokozuna post-promotion without a yusho: Hoshoryu, Kakuryu, and Futahaguro.
>>265309Nonsense. Futahaguro has held that record on his own for nearly 40 years.
>>265310Futahaguro spent 8 basho at Yokozuna before being dunked. Kakuryu spent 8 at Yokozuna before his first Yokoyusho. This will be Hoshoryu's 9th basho. If he doesn't yusho he takes the title away from Futahaguro and I will die on that hill of technicality because being worse than Futahaguro is a crazy datapoint. Both were at Tatsunami too BTW.
>>265311Bitching out and slapping your stablemaster's wife by itself makes Futahaguro the worst, but on top of that it's not just that he didn't win a yusho as yokozuna, but that he's the only yokozuna to have never won a yusho ever. Hoshoryu, even if he retires with no yusho at yokozuna, still won two.
These fucking guys.
>>265314Give Daieisho some credit.
>>265315Oops forgot to include that he's still M4e in the upcoming basho too.
>>265311>being worse than Futahaguro is a crazy datapointA data point that only exists in your dumb fuck mind. Hoshoryu has two makuuchi yusho. Futahaguro retired with zero.
>>265317Futahaguro dared to exist at the same time as Chiyonofuji and even then managed a 14-1 of which Hoshoryu has none. Meanwhile Hoshoryu exists at the same time as>*flips through notes*Chiyoshoma.
>This idiot is actually trying to say Futahaguro was good.
No I'm trying to say that Futahaguro's failure to yusho is understandable because he was up against one of the all time greats. Same applies to Kisenosato. Hoshoryu simply has no excuse for his inability to win tournaments at this point. He's been sat on top of the banzuke since January and his greatest rival lost an arm in a car accident or something. He doesn't have any major injuries holding him back the way Kisenosato did either.If Hosh doesn't yusho this time around I'm selling my Hoshcoin.
>>265319>Meanwhile Hoshoryu exists at the same time as Chiyoshoma.Incredibly disingenuous attempt. You're just a faggot.
>>265322Are you comparing Onosato and Aonishiki to Chiyonofuji and Hakuho while calling me the disingenuous one?
>>265319Funny how Onosato was supposed to be Raiden reincarnated or something and now that he's got his first real injury and seems to be struggling to recover from it people are memory holing him real quick.
>>265323No you fucking retard. I'm comparing them to Chiyoshoma. Jesus fuck you're dumb.
>>265324Even the JSA are memoryholing him by hoping to replace him with Kiri.
Happy
4th

>>265344How far back in the Yokozuna timeline could you go and still have a zuna that could pull off yusho's?
Why do you have to be a company to donate prize money to bouts, and they don't allow individual people to donate?

Zak was one lucky tournament away from becoming thrice the real fraudzuna Hoshoryu is accused of. At least Hosh regularly pulls double digit wins. Zak is a pathetic ozeki.

>>265405Hearing that Hoshoryu is resting and not training to the point of injury is great news desu.
is it fair to say most non-sekitori wrestlers are basically incels?
>>265407No, brothels are all over the place in Tokyo and there's no reason to suspect they don't use them.

If touching the topknot causes you to be disqualified then a rikishi should grow his topknot so long he can wrap it around his entire body so nobody can grapple him.
https://hochi.news/articles/20260706-OHT1T51002.htmlWakatakaKOGA is kyujo. His thigh exploded. Amputation inevitable.
>>265450How the fuck do you get a thigh injury.
Big yikes.
>>265450Evil Spirits just keep winning.
>>265452I have syndrome fatigue.>Hmmm yes, after examination I can confirm you have ThatThingYouHave syndrome
>>265450looking to achieve clown basho in record time
>>265450>>265451Is there any other sport where an athlete gets injured outside of main event?
>>265457No. Just like there's no other sport where you powerlift and eat every day for matches that last two fucking seconds and don't involve your muscles because someone slipped or henka'd. Asahifuji can't make Makuuchi quick enough.
>>265457a soccer player fell over a barricade and broke his wrist celebrating earlier today
>>265459He got a yellow card and broke his wrist. Didn't play a minute of football.
>>265459ok but that's just being a pussy and an idiot. I meant injury during practice or whatever.anyway, Isegahama recruited a japanese rugby player https://hochi.news/articles/20260705-OHT1T51363.html
>>265459I'm guessing he didn't make a show and cry like a toddler about it since he didn't have an audience
>>265462>an audiencewhoops should've said an active referee
>>265461>I meant injury during practice or whatever.One that comes to my mind was Teddy Bridgewater. >During a team practice on August 30, 2016, Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury to his left leg. An ambulance took Bridgewater off the field and the rest of practice was canceled. A subsequent MRI confirmed that he tore his ACL and suffered other structural damage, including a dislocation of the knee joint. The injury was so severe that Bridgewater was at risk of losing his leg, with the surgeon describing it as a "horribly grotesque injury... It's almost like a war wound. Everything is blown."
>>265457>>265461>is there any other sport where athletes get injured during trainingAre you retarded? That happens all the time.
>>265457Do you even watch sports? Athletes get hurt in practice all the time.
>>265380If Zak had the rope he might be able to take some time off to recover ala Terunofuji, he has been working wounded for years at this point.
>>265469after the coming make-koshi he will have a private rope-donning ceremony
>>265473Shodai has second best footwork in makuuchi, whatever you like it or not.
What is the appeal of sumo?>two fatasses slam into each other>they grab each others diapers>40 seconds later the "fight" is over>most outcomes are fixed beforehand

>Onosato goes 11-0 vs Zak>Hosh back to training 21 bouts at a time>WakatakaKOGA's leg fucking explodes
>>265480>Onosato goes 11-0 vs Zak
>>265481wow, what a cute boy meeting his heroI hope he will be able to reach sumo's heights under his tutelage in the future!
https://www.chunichi.co.jp/article/1277407KotoACKura loses all practice bouts against Onosato, may have twisted his ankleSadokatake gets pissed at reporters and says "I wonder if Onosato is in good health"
>>265475If it was fixed no Mongolian would ever sniff Yokozuna, much less dominate the sport for 20 years.
>>265450he suffered compartment syndrome... looking at google images, holy fuck that must hurt.
>>265482>>265484kek.
>>265485>much less dominate the sport for 20 yearsnot again aaaiiiiieeeeee
Can you feel it bros... the Kazuma yusho...
>>265457Pretty much every sport ever
>>265489I don't think he will yusho, maybe kk max
>>265475You might be low test.
>>265480Yeah, I'm thinking we're back
Does this count as brothers being next to each other on the banzuke?
>>265494Wouldn't be together on the physical banzuke, no.
>We'll never again have the kino of the Waka bros at the same Sanyaku rank
>>265496They might join as Maegashitters next banzuke
>>265499Even then it was only a LARP of the Hanada brothers at Yokozuna.At this point all we can do is hope Asahifuji really is the post-Hakuho autist we've been waiting for. I heard he ended his Sandanme yusho interview by asking if he was free to go train more so like maybe.
>>265499bro...WTK will wake up in a year with his ass at the bottom of sandanme with a 3-4 for his first tournament back
>>265501>TENSHOYAMA-SAMA PLEASE DON'T HURT ME AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE
>>265502tenshoyama will be debuting in makuuchi by that time
>>265503Yeah okay gaylord.
>>265501If he is logical, then he would retire in a few months. If he is painfully stubborn (see: a sumo wrestler), then we'll get a horribly sad couple of basho in the lower divisions. If he is unlucky, he'll be dead in a few weeks from complications of the limb refusing to heal and infection+necrosis. Shit's fucked.
>Onosato dead>Dan dead>Hosh dead>Kirishima brains scrambled>WTK deadWho does the reaper come for next?
>>265489>>265491I predict Kazuma will go 8-7 or 9-6 in Nagoya. He went 8-7 in Hatsu which was his juryo debut and I attribute that to him being unused to the strain of the 15 day schedule. Similarly for his debut in makuuchi, now he's going to get belt checked for relying too much on his weight so far. Then, aki he does 9-6 up to 11-4, and kyushu he gets a zensho yuushou.
>>265475>40 seconds later the "fight" is over
took me two evenings but i finally tracked down the highest resolution images of all the honbasho key visual posters
Kotozakura broke his ankle.https://www.chunichi.co.jp/article/1277407
oh, is it time for another pre-basho bloodbath? already, again, so soon?
Who is the prince rupert's drop of sumo?
clown basho
Well I just heard the news today…Wakatakakage’s out, he won’t step in the clay.The dohyo feels so cold,The basho’s lost a spark, a story left untold.
>>265517Ha yes I also fucking love science
>>265519He was nothing special until last basho when both yokozuna left and he ended up winning. Now we have our fun toys back so he goes back in the box.
>>>/sp/154730892 okay it wasn't flesh eating but close enough
Am I smelling yet another oops, all kyujo basho
>>265485>mongs wouldnt match fix themselves because.... they just wouldn't!lol
>>265524Kazuma, Takerufuji, Daiseizan, Atamifuji, Yoshinofuji, Fujinokawa, Kotoshoho, Kotoeiho, Ura, and Tobizaru are going to be eating good.
>>265526And Kirishima.
>>265527Wakamotoharu gave him brain damage in May.
>Kotozakura wins the special prize for being history's most ozeki
Haven't seen a tournament since January but I wanna pay extra attention to the July basho since im gonna get to see the September one in person for my trip to Tokyo! Anything I need to know? Retirements? Rising stars? Recent winners?
>>265508>he's going to get belt checkedBy who? Roga? Ryuden is the belt-checker and he's in Juryo.
>>265531Makushita is better than Makuuchi right now because Asahifuji is going to meet a bunch of popular ex-sekitori plus a bunch of other rising stars like Omori and Wakanofuji.
>>265530thats shodai
>>265531March and May were complete shitshowsstill plenty of good bouts but the amount of injuries is depressing.
What bad fortune befalls Hoshoryu this time?
>>265543completely healthy, 11-4 jy
>>265543His bad fortune is being Hoshoryu
>>2655441-4 then drops the basho more like
>>265521Anon, that was his second Yusho.
>>265549Please be kind to the newfags, he has only watched 2 bashos
>>265550Nah.
>>265543Kirishima 11-4Y and Yokozuna promotion.
>>265554Would actually be an even more retarded criteria for promotion than Hoshoryu's. YDC means nothing if they just keep promoting any fucking ozeki that gets a few double digit wins in a row. Kirishima should not even be in consideration until he gets the emperors cup this and next tournament.
>>265555>Kirishima should not even be in considerationSilly statement. Yusho + Yusho playoff + Yusho = rope.
>>265557The only rope he deserves is a vertical one.
I just want one of the top four to yusho...onegai...
>>265557The sekiwake yusho does not matter. He needs a very strong yusho to be promoted. 14 or 15 wins.
>>265562>The sekiwake yusho does not matter.Nonsense.
>>265562I could see them looking at Kirishima's record favourably. So close to roping before, now at three yusho after coming back from injury. Part of me feels like any 12+ yusho might do it.
>>265564Agreed. I'd say 13+ though.
the real hakuho jr- forgotten
>>265559Zak yusho inbound.
>>265568>SeihakuhoHakuho
>>265563No that's literally how it works.
>>265577You're trying to tell me that past performance isn't taken into account. Think about that.
>>265578How is it that retards still don't understand that only performance at ozeki counts for yokozuna promotion?
>>265579... and the hypothetical performance in question would be Yusho playoff + Yusho.My point is that the Yusho before those two would strengthen the case, and you think it wouldn't, YOU are the retard.
>>265564The fact he was an ozeki before and only recently reached back to ozeki when the top 3 guys are injured as fuck is not a point in his favour.
>>265579The truth is that unless the actual written requirements in the regulations are met (back to back yusho or yusho-equivalent at ozeki) the YDC can use whatever other criteria they want to support or deny a promotion. They're the ones talking about it amongst themselves, nobody else, not even the JSA execs. Guaranteed the sekiwake yusho was a point in Hoshoryu's favor, and it will be for Kirishima if he yushos again this month, because to the YDC it displays previous success which to them would make future success more likely.
>>265582And RECENT previous success.
>>265582I don't think that's quite true about the YDC, they advise the JSA, but there is still an internal decision made by a JSA department. I forget what the exact name is... head of officiating, or head of judging or something like that.
>>265585Other way around. The JSA can advise the YDC, but the YDC has final authority over yokozuna promotions.
>>265586Sort of. The head of judging gets the chairman to call a meeting, then the chairman asks the YDC if they recommend, so if the JSA doesn't ask, the YDC has no say. The JSA always sides with the YDC's decision, but it's their call whether to ask for a decision in the first place.
a 12-3 jy 12-3 y would be an unbelievably weak promotion
>>265588it would never happen, 13w Y might be enough or it might not. But I don't think he can get 13 wins.
>>265578Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Anyone interested in crafting a nice bet? The main problem is I don't follow Japanese language news, only English "rumors" such as (((Chris))), Tachiai blog and 4chanI've marked with a green triangle all wrestlers who have any chance of yusho in my opinion.>HoshoryuAs I understand he's still not 100%, and he struggles or chokes anyway. So I discarded him.>OnosatoNo idea, is he back and healthy? If he is, then he's the absolute favourite.>KotozakuraNot going to happen, he's probably going MK again>WTKIs out, that he's still on as of today is free money>AonishikiSupposedly healthy? But how much do we know? I've left him in.I've put some lower ranked guys who may pull off a clown basho. However, their insanely high odds mean the bottom half of guys use only around 25% of my stake or less. The maegashitters whom I have not marked will NEVER win a top division yusho, ever. Fujinokawa may be the exception, but he's definitely not there yet.Pic related has:Total Implied Probability: 0.7876 (or 78.76%)Total Expected Return: $126.96 from a $100 layout.Net Profit Margin: +26.96%
>>265590No one said it was.
>>265591Go away
>>265594I'm staying mate.
>>265587The YDC has their own regular meetings without JSA prompting, where stuff like that is discussed. What would happen in reality is the YDC would discuss it, someone from the YDC would tell someone from the rankings committee what their decision was, and then the two would go through the formal process to rubber-stamp it. That way neither party loses face in public if the JSA recommends someone that the YDC denies, or the YDC publicly says they want to promote someone without the JSA asking.
>>265596Other way around. The head of judging requests that the chairman hold a meeting. Same thing for ozeki, except in this case the meeting takes into consideration the YDC's recommendation. But it is the JSA who initiates.

Some of our last good moments together were him joining me out in the living room to watch the May basho. He wasn't a sumo fan, had never watched before, but he watched it with me when he could (meaning when he wasn't so exhausted that he just wanted to sleep). He would ask me questions constantly and comment on the exciting moves. Looking back, I honestly believe he just wanted to spend some time with me.He fought to the very end just like a rikishi.So yeah, thank you to all of you for welcoming me into the threads. May was the first full basho I watched, and I'm looking forward to this one.
>>265671Sorry for your loss, and ganbatte!
>>265648Not really, there's plenty of slower threads on there right now. Our real problem is the sheer amount of tourists we're going to get. I can't remember if a direct link to M*dnight gets put in the OP but it might be worth it for the tourists.
>>265632>>265635Point is to cover the possibility of a clown basho, that's why so many low rankers are included.Still the cost of covering the likes of Kazuma or Kotoeiho or anyone over 30 are minimal. The real question would be in knowing if anybody out of the big 4 are wrecked not definitely not going to win. I am under the assumption that Hosh has not recovered, but Onosato and Aonishiki have, but my information is extremely limited.The possibility to get a premium on this basho is open already because two "favourites", Zak and WTK are not going to win for sure.
Do they not do all-stables practice anymore, or did I miss it?
>>265675Onosato is the only question mark because he's been a retard about his shoulder for so long. He's more likely to go 0-3 than 3-0. And honestly any bet you want to put on outsiders just pile it all on Kazuma, the guy really is something else and this is the only basho where he's going to be able to farm losers for easy wins. Sure Kotoeiho looked great last basho but he was M13 and one of his wins was a fusen. He'll be lucky to go 9-6 in my imo.
>>265671My condolences anon, hope you can enjoy the basho atleast a little
