I've barely touched sloppa since London. Still so full...

Speaking of London they really should've done a trip to a gym and lifted some seriously heavy shit. Instead all they did was tourist shit and eat food which didn't really do anything to challenge the stereotype of sumo wrestlers just being fatsos. Imagine if they saw Takerufuji shoulder pressing 200kg. "They're just fat" wouldn't really cover that.

For some reason Abi is positioned a little bit lower than other wrestlers in his line and looks a lot shorter than Oho because of it. Even Hoshoryu is taller than Kirishima and is shorter than him for some reason.

heres some news Chris missed:

Komusubi Yasuseinishiki (21, Ajigawa stable), who won 11 matches in the Autumn Tournament as a new sanyaku wrestler, attended a celebration in Osaka City on the 24th to celebrate the launch of his first personal support group, the "Osaka Yasuseinishiki Support Group." Osaka is a place of special memories for Yasuseinishiki, as he visited Japan from his native Ukraine and attended training sessions with the Kansai University Sumo Club. Kansai University alumni were among the organizers, and the event attracted 200 people.

"I feel very happy. I want to work hard to live up to the support they have shown me," Yasuseinishiki said, expressing his determination to live up to the support he received from his personal support group, which was launched in a foreign country, just over two years after his sumo debut.

"I can't wait to return to Osaka next year. I want to work hard and aim to return as an ozeki next year." His master, stablemaster Ajigawa (former sekiwake Aminishiki), was a guest of honor and spoke of his determination to help the master-disciple achieve his early promotion to ozeki.

The supporters' association sets out its annual schedule, holding a send-off party in Osaka before the Spring Tournament each year. The master and disciple are aiming for promotion to ozeki by March of next year. Regarding the ozeki challenge at the Kyushu Tournament (first day November 9th, Fukuoka International Center), Takadagawa, the head of the judging committee (former sekiwake Akinoshima), who handles promotion issues, stated his principle after the final bout of the Autumn Tournament that "the starting point is once you've reached san'yaku," but added, "However, the door (to ozeki) is still open." While promotion may be contingent on the Kyushu Tournament, the benchmark for ozeki promotion is a total of 33 wins over three san'yaku tournaments. While Yasuseinishiki has achieved double-digit wins in four consecutive tournaments since his debut in the makuuchi division, he is still only in san'yaku for one tournament, so a significantly stronger performance will be required to be promoted after the Kyushu Tournament.

The Kyushu Tournament, which runs until the Spring Tournament next year, and the Hatsu Tournament in January, will see the 21-year-old dominating the action on the ring.

>>245889
So basically another 11-4 won't get him promoted in November, and anything higher than that will likely see him in title contention. A 13-2, assuming all are healthy, would mean he would have to beat at least one of the ozeki and yokozuna.

>>245890
>A 13-2, assuming all are healthy, would mean he would have to beat at least one of the ozeki and yokozuna.
That's only assuming Kotozakura is back.

>>245891
Also assuming Hosh doesn't hurt his toe again.

>>245892
Also assuming Onosato doesn't blow out is big fat back.

>>245890
>another 11-4 won't get him promoted in November
Yes it will, they're just talking shit. They need another ozeki to balance and fill out the banzuke so they will be keen to promote to first available candidate ASAP. They talked up "muh tough and strict promotion standards" when Hosh's rope was at stake, but then they promoted him on basis of "well he almost made the grade and thats good enough"

>>245894
>They need another ozeki to balance and fill out the banzuke
Why do you feel the need to act like an expert when you don't even know the basics?

Teru got ozeki in 2015 on the strength of 33 over 3 basho starting from m2, that was the last time something like that happened, so they'll give it to Dan if he gets 11 in November.

>>245896
No he didn't. It was 33 wins plus a Yusho (and a Jun-Yusho).

>>245896
Teru had a yusho and a 13-2 jun in that run, which happened when there were three yokozuna and three ozeki each. He was 7-5 against ozeki and yokozuna, including a win over Hakuho.

>>245894
>They need another ozeki to balance and fill out the banzuke
I hate that idiots still parrot stuff like this

>>245897
he also had a cringe 8-7

>>245900
Yeah, but 5 of those wins were against san'yaku, including 2 Ozeki.

>>245890
>So basically another 11-4 won't get him promoted in November,
I think it depends on who he wins against, and whether he gets a yusho or jun-yusho. If he kicks the shit out of the sanyaku and has a high double digit record, that'll probably be enough. If he gets a yusho or jun-yusho with double digits, that'll probably do it too. IF, however, he gets his shit pushed in by the sanyaku but still gets double digits, and doesn't yusho or jun-yusho, I think they'll make him wait.

I mean, Tochi got his oozeki with one of the tours being maegashira, albeit the 3rd one was a tour win. It's not entirely set in stone, so any particularly good performance may balance it out

>>245915
Tochi got it because he scored 36 wins in three bashos and capped with a yusho. Way exceeding the threshold like that is a classic way of getting some slack in the details.

Nabatame
forma de demotion

Teru went 1-3 v Yokozuna in his run. Thus far Dan is 2-2 against them with a basho in hand. Dan is guaranteed to have to fight more Yokozuna than what Teru did, with half a shot at a 50% winrate against them. He also has a JY, stacks of special prizes, and started his run as the 8th best rikishi in Japan which when Teru started his run would've had Dan at S1w.

Don't forget that places in the banzuke change relatively speaking. Teru was the 13th ranked at the start of his run, putting him where fucking Gonoyama was in September at M3w.

I could MAYBE understand denying Dan on 33 wins, but if he's denied on 34 it would be fucking ridiculous.

>>245901
Dan had 5 wins vs sanyaku in both July & September

>>245933
he will 100% get promoted on 33

I wonder how Onosato would react to Aonishiki doing the big Hakuho step backwards before the tachiai.

>>245938
forget that, give it some harite

Oozeki is very doable, for sure, but the strange discourse I see online are prospects of Yokozuna. With the current roster him winning two bashos in a row while at oozeki (after he makes oozeki) would require no les than three miracles.
I also find that prospect unnecessary, him hitting oozeki anytime next year is still beyond a respectable position to be in, he still has some great feats under his belt, especially in such a short tenure, but making 'zuna seems just that much further away

>>245942
I think people just want to see the bar being pushed constantly, but Onosato blew the bar so far that now people are just saying stupid things.

>>245942
>>245943
It happens anytime there is breakout performance entering makuuchi.
People were naming this era after Takerufuji after his basho win from M17.
Vocal people like to get excited over possibilities as early as they can.
None of it matters.

>>245928
He's never wearing white again.

>>245942
>With the current roster
This is a meaningless metric. It only takes one or two bashos to completely change the landscape of perceived strength. Remember when Kotozakura was a titan? Remember when Kirishima was a hair's breadth away from yokozuna? For all we know, by March Aonishiki might be the overwhelming favourite to win. However, it's a double-edged sword - Aonishiki is a hot prospect, one of the hottest we've ever had, but it only takes one bad basho to torpedo an ozeki run, one stupid loss to scupper your yokozuna chances, one awkward fall to injure you and change the entire trajectory of your career. This time next year, we might laugh at the very idea of Aonishiki ever returning to the san'yaku.

>>245946
>it only takes one bad basho to torpedo an ozeki run
Waka...

>>245946
>one of the hottest we've ever had
keep it in your pants, lad

>>245946
>one awkward fall to injure you and change the entire trajectory of your career
Like Takerufuji >>245944

>>245951
there is nothing saying the asanoyama match changed the entire trajectory of taker's career.
he is just "le strong push man" he has no special talent or ability, he is like a smaller weaker version onosato. his trajectory was probably always to surprise people when he was new and then to get solved quickly and become mid mægashira tier.
he is nothing to compare to aonishiki who is not only massively strong but also has the deepest technique bag in the division and quick reflexes to put his techniques into play. the way he reversed that throw on horse was god tier stuff, straight out of a harimanada episode

>>245953
>he is just "le strong push man"
Literally Onosato when he first got to makuuchi.

>>245953
>mægashira
no

>>245954
Onosato always had the technique to back it up.

>le right hand grip with le left arm block ad infinitum

And now that he's learn he can just stretch his arms out and push he's unstoppable. Takeru was never good. He punked out a cheap yusho because the matchmaking in Makuuchi is retarded.

>>245953
I think the biggest factor is that he's such a new sekitori that he hasn't yet fallen victim to an injury that he can't take time off to heal properly from. It doesn't have to be a particularly bad injury for the constant tournaments and touring schedule to wear a man down. He's undersized for sumo and he puts himself in some very demanding positions to pull off a lot of his techniques, so an injury is bound to come along sooner or later. For me, the question is whether or not he'll be an ozeki when it happens, allowing him to use his kadoban allowance to try and heal.

>that's a completely different argument since now you're talking about rookies
Yeah, specifically we're talking about Takerufuji. People just keep pretending he had some comically easy schedule when he beat Onosato and one of the ozeki. He only lost to Hosh (4-1 against Onosato) and Asanoyama (should've probably been an Ozeki but he's a retard).

Now people just want to pretend like he's some shit wrestler when it's obvious he's just been dealing with a serious injury. I know sports fans are pretty famoulsy stupid, but I kind of expected better from this kind of niche sport.

>>245958
thats a picture of him winning the tournament

>>245966
>I know sports fans are pretty famoulsy stupid
>famoulsy
I don't disagree with your take on Takerufuji's strength of schedule, but bringing up debutants when it has absolutely nothing do with low maegashira SoS is also stupid.

God I hate you retards sometimes.
I mentioned Takerufuji only as an example of social media posts blowing up over a new hot prospect when anything can happen. >>245944
It happens every time.
I WAS NOT trying to compare rikishi. Those arguments of "well so and so had an easier schedule" are even more pointless than speculating on the future trajectory of the wrestlers.

>>245957
>He's undersized for sumo
maybe he was when he debuted in the top division, but he isn't anymore, he has been packing on weight fast. 150kg/183cm is about average for makuuchi

>>245965
if you tsukedashi and don't make the top division before you tie your hair then its over for you, you're fated to spend your career in juryo with the occasional appearance and losing record as a high double digit megashitter

>>245968
>bringing up debutants when it has absolutely nothing do with low maegashira
I didn't "bring up" anything. My first post was a reply to >>245956 talking about Takeru. That's been the topic the whole time for me.

>elder stock
to me like im an absolute retard that just got into the sport like 8 months ago?

>>246104
frankly i hope so, its cool to have variety

>>246093
rip kawazoe, dude is nothing but injured, what a shame.

>>246106
>frankly i hope so, its cool to have variety
I'm with you there, as much as I disliked Hokuseiho, I greatly enjoyed watching what tactics rikishi would use on him.
Variety in styles is always interesting.

>>246100
Wait did Aonishiki jump the ranks as Ura was going down so they never met? Damn that'll be a good one.

>>246106
I can't, but I know it's what all the oyakata (stable-masters and coaches) have that keeps them in the JSA after they retired from the dohyo. In order to qualify you need to make sanyaku or have something like 30 basho at sekitori.
Elder stock are very valuable and big
>SCANDALS
have erupted over them in the past. My understanding is that the JSA put the clamps on this with regulations... somewhat.
Beyond that... and there is MUCH beyond that, i know, I am as clueless as you.

>>246114
Yes. Their only meeting so far was in London.

>>246106
The JSA is a closed organization, and you need to have one of 105 elder stock in order to be a coach, stablemaster, and executive within the organization. Eligibility to become an elder is based on results as a salaried wrestler as well as Japanese citizenship. Ozeki and yokozuna are allowed limited temporary elder stock when they retire, but only for three or five years. Everyone else has to have elder stock when they retire, or they're permanently removed from the JSA and can't return.

>>246118
Not him but how do you secure a kabu? Do you just walk up to someone holding one and be like
>Yo bitch I've been in Makuuchi for six years give me your kabu

>>246119
It used to be that you had to buy them from elders about to retire. This was a complicated process that basically amounted to who had the bigger supporters network and could win the bidding war. Pissing off your supporters network is the fastest way to get kicked to the curb (see Akebono).
After the post-2011 reforms, they're officially not supposed to be bought and sold anymore, but in practice there's still under-the-table dealings to secure funding for the JSA, part of which goes to repaying the elders who bought their shares before the reforms, as well as political jockeying.

>>246120
Wow thanks for the info but you didn't answer the question.

>>246121
I literally did, try reading next time.

>>246123
NTA, you didn't you said how it USED to be. I assume you meant that now you buy it from the JSA instead of the elder?

>>246124
>After the post-2011 reforms, they're officially not supposed to be bought and sold anymore, but in practice there's still under-the-table dealings to secure funding for the JSA, part of which goes to repaying the elders who bought their shares before the reforms, as well as political jockeying.
READ STUPID FUCK

>>246125
Now using what you posted tell me how Takarafuji is now Kiriyama.

>>246125
Why can't you just be a human being and reiterate?
>secure funding for the JSA
They pay the JSA for it?

>>246127
Because the JSA is officially supposed to control all the shares, in practice it acts as an intermediary to ensure the grandfathered elders are repaid for having to buy stock before the reforms, plus ensuring they have a retirement fund set up. This also obfuscates the exact goings on since it's no longer a case of a rikishi directly buying stock from an existing elder. So the JSA basically has to say "we like this guy and his supporters club will take care of the existing elder financially, so he's approved."

>>246129
... but essentially they buy it from the JSA and the JSA gives them the kabu name on the banzuke. To put it simply?

>>246131
Not officially, but practically, yes.

>>246106
Just bros goofin' lol

>>246132
Thank you. :)

SUMO IS NOT GAY

>>246141
Oh so that's what inspired Hiradoumi.

Yoshinofuji is an awful name, solely because Kusano was a sweet shikona and I'm pissed that he changed it. Shan't be supporting Yoshinofuji

>>246148
The only real name that is valid is Shodai. All others must get a shikona.

>>246148
He already had the "no" in his shikona. He should've been Kusanofuji, meaning the grass fields of mount Fuji. His new shikona is so gay. Was fucking Teru behind this? Fuck Teru for this.

>>246151
It's one thing if he's using his own birth name, but a shikona should in some way project an image of strength. "Grass fields" don't really do it, even when paired with Mt. Fuji. In fact it can have the opposite effect, because it would project an image of constantly being at the foot of Mt. Fuji, unable to ascend.

I was about to disagree with the first parts of your post, but that's an EXCELLENT point well made, sir! Please enjoy this rikishi on a bike.

>>246151
According to Nikkansports, Teru wanted him to take a -nofuji shikona for the stable, but the righteousness character 義 was particularly chosen by Yoshinofuji.

>>246155
feels weird he's done it now and not the makuuchi promotion or the future sanyaku one

>>246154
>it would project an image of constantly being at the foot of Mt. Fuji, unable to ascend.
that could just as easily be construed as being able to bear the load and strong enough support an entire mountain, similar to the atlas supporting the earth meme, but more inherently japanese

Dan broke the record for the fastest promotion to sekiwake for a non-tsukedashi sumo entrant. Probably beat nearly all of the tsukedashi starters too, except Onosato of course.

Chris doesn't seem to understand that outside of Japan/Mongolia sumo wrestlers are laughing stocks. If a schoolkid said he wanted to become a sumo wrestler he'd be bullied.

>>246208
Not if he was big and strong enough to actually do it.

>>246203
At least he took Kakuryu's scalp by beating him in his final match, even if iirc that fight was Kakuryu missing a trip and falling on his ass.

I am a bit surprised by this banzuke. Never would have imagined Takanosho getting komusubi, or Atami only getting demoted to maegashira 6 after that 5-10. Takayasu holding onto that sanyaku rank is some funny shit, I am happy I got a picture with him in London

How much of a presence do Onosato and Hoshoryu have in their stables? It feels like the 2 yokozunas have such busy schedules they just aren't there most of the time.

>>246233
If Nabatame had his own place for a bit, then those two sure as fuck don't live at their stables anymore.

>>246216
Big "black button up collar shirt with flames at the bottom" energy

>>246233
Depends on how you define "presence." The oldest toriteki will have the most influence on the routine day-to-day operations of the other toriteki, but when the sekitori and especially upper sanyaku show up everyone takes notice and caters to them.

>>246237
I mean like training. Wouldn't it be such an advantage for the younger and lower ranked wrestlers to train with a yokozuna? Like in boxing if you joined the Robert Garcia Boxing gym there was a good chance you would be sparring against other world class champions year round.

>>246238
At a certain skill gap you're not actually learning anything from just getting dummied around because there's too much for you to process at your skill level. That's why you need to be properly coached first, which is the responsibility of the oyakata and senior toriteki in the stable. Some makushita do get to train with the sekitori, but it's for the benefit of the sekitori first and foremost, like how Hakuho would get his stable's makushita to emulate the fighting style of his upcoming opponents.
You need to prove you're good enough to get to juryo first before you start getting personal training time with the sanyaku.

>>246238
It would also be a waste of time for the yokozuna.

>>246234
If Onosato doesn't live at Nishonoseki how come Shirokuma looks so starved of chanko all the time???

>>246239
Did Meisei ever give Yarden a pity fight? I feel like he has but I couldn't tell you when.

>>246244
Dunno but it was probably just a chest lending exercise that they do for foreign visitors frequently. Let them push you to the edge if they can, then gently roll them onto the clay.

>>246223
you look like a slob walking around without having shaved in past 6 days, you probably smell like shit too, look how enthusiastic he is to be standing next to you, even a polite public figure like him and thats the best he can manage, you're repulsive

demoting a mong on 7-8 is racist

>>246235
azns are fairly crass, subtlety escapes their mentality, shishi's style of gown is reserved for only the highest ranking wrestlers, even juryo isn't allowed to sport that look. the bushido code or whatever requires him to dress like that as a means of publicly displaying his rank

The site works well for it's use case, being a place to watch the current basho on a self hosted platform.
This is the closest thing I know of since the youtube purge https://siznax.github.io/honbasho/
Otherwise you gotta start scrounging, manually download whatever you can find on youtube with yt-dlp. Rutracker has some old gems as well. Basically, you will not find a comprehensive collection of previous bashos except on individuals hard drives.

>>246264
It's more that obvious improvements to the site are right there, they just aren't being implemented.

chris is controversial because he makes good videos so some people see criticizing him as a means of selfishly focusing attention upon themselves

>>246345
>chris is controversial because he makes good videos
bait?
>people see criticizing him as a means of selfishly focusing attention upon themselves
oh wait nvm you are just retarded
>>246347
He made a video criticizing certain aspects of the London tour, like the high ticket prices (which sold out every day), the reliance on sponsorships to make the tour happen (you can't expect to make a bank when you have to feed 180kg men and pay for their hotel stay) and the lack of effort in promoting the sport within London besides the event itself, he was mad the rikishi didn't got KNIFED on the street and didn't engage in local paki culture. He's just butthurt because the event was a success despite not being a "real" tournament as he was expecting.

>>246362
A Yokozuna tier excuse

>>246356
People were polite in Chris's comment sections because his reporting was fine. But his post-London video was a schizophrenic rant about the JSA not doing enough to promote sumo when the rikishi were all over social media. Not only that but he assumed that every big name in London would've been at the Royal Albert Hall if only the JSA had contacted them, when it's far more likely that no one worth knowing has any interest in showing up to a sumo event in the first place.

>>246364
