Chances that horse goes kyujo 5 matches in?
Chances Onosato also goes kyujo because his injury hasn't fully healed?
Is it just me or is this Basho really looking like it's going to go to a Dan win right from the start.

The lowest rank to ever jump into Makuuchi in one tournament is from J13, which was Endo in 2013 from J13 to M13 after getting a 14-1 Y. This makes it extremely improbable that Kazuma will be in Maegashira by March, and likely by May.

>>253258
We dont see enough zenshos these days
Therefore Kazuma will give us one

Desu Kazuma is the best chance we've had in a while of getting one. Kusano came close but Kazuma has the size to back it up.

The Emperor is attending on day 8. It would be an unthinkable disgrace for a yokozuna to start the basho, but not be there to do the special dohyo-iri for the Emperor. If they can mount the dohyo, they'll mount the dohyo, even if by day 8 they're facing make-koshi.

I have understood the core of my appreciation for sumo. It is not the athletics, nor is it the tradition. No, it is the sheer beauty of seeing how it is possible to sculpt the human body and turn it into an elegant and graceful object in the dohyo. Loading the rikishi up with chanko and rice to increase their mass, and then carefully working the human form into such a thing. And to then see the retired elders shed all of those pounds like tears in rain and assume a "normal" figure once again as if it had all never happened. It is sublime, to witness such control over the physicality of the great ape. Only a fool would dismiss them as merely fat. Yes, this is the essence of what gives sumo its mysticism.

The body of a rikishi is a subversion of expectations. To observe such an unassuming figure move with such precision in the dohyo is like witnessing Michelangelo turn a block of marble into a work of art.

Something felt so off and unfunny about Hoshoryu's humour with that giant dish of sushi towards the end.

He came across as a bit of a dick honestly, especially the part where he took Syunrai's phone.

Taking a few L's is actually a good thing for Kazuma because it will teach him valuable lessons on how to improve his sumo and become even better in the salaried divisions. It's setting him up to start zenshoing in March or May or July.

>>253603

He's 4-4 now so hopefully he can kachikoshi

Kazuma 5-4 now.
I'm revising my outlook. He looks REALLY fucking slow and unagile in the dohyo. I hope it's just a matter of experience and now that he's in the upper ranks he'll start to learn how to move around more and actually take advantage of his size. With 6 days left he only needs 3 to get the KK and secure his salary. Maybe if we're lucky this year, he might break into makuuchi by september or november.

If we're REALLY lucky he might break his neck. Ugly fuck.

That was really rude and uncalled for, psychopaths should be locked up.

Bad workman blaming his tools DESU.

>>253982
Sumo is spirit, technique and body. Not food, coach and gym equipment

>>253982
Ajigawa doesn't excel in sumo. Only Aonishiki has achieved anything of note in the years since the stable was established. It doesn't matter if Aonishiki personally exceeds the achievements of anyone in, say, Isegahama or Kise, because one good rikishi doesn't make you a successful stable. However, Ajigawa is a new stable and many of them don't manage to produce a sekitori so quickly. It's a promising sign that Ajigawa may, in future, become a stable to be reckoned with.

>>253988
>We'll be eating good for awhile now!

>>253990
Being a large stable with lots of top names isn't about affording food or having basic bitch gym equipment because those are cheap. It's about having the connections and influence to bring in the top talent. Why did you think Miyagino was rolled into Isegahama? Suddenly Isegahama-oyakata had access to the top talents scouted not only by themselves but also by Hakuho (see: Enho, Haku, Yoshi) all in one stable.

Ajigawa got super lucky in finding Dan. The food and training equipment was a complete non-issue for Dan because it's a non-issue for all rikishi in all stables.

>>253994
>Why did you think Miyagino was rolled into Isegahama?
Because Isegahama was the only stable with enough space to house all 19 Miyagino wrestlers at the time and they could plausibly play the "we want Hakuho to be mentored" card, even though Isegahama himself openly preferred them to be split between multiple different stables instead of staying together.

Fujinokawa has earned himself so many fans in the last basho or two. The last time such a small fighter had such spirit was Harumafuji.

You're focusing on the wrong aspect. Weight isn't important. HEIGHT is important. Harumafuji was 10cm taller than Fujinokawa and had huge arms.

Why are there at the end of tournaments Juryo vs Meagashira matchups?

>>254047
There's always cross-division matchups if there's an odd number of healthy wrestlers in sekitori, since they fight every day. Near the end of the tournaments, they can serve as unofficial "winner stays in the higher division" bouts depending on their respective scores.

>>254036
onosato stopped him with 1-hand basically.., but who cares, he's good, no reason to deny that. It's really shame zak isn't performing, wish grandpa was still around so he could slap him few times a day to get his shit straight... lard ass did 8-7 in 5 out of last 6 basho...disgusting for an ozeki.

Asanoyama a big disappointment. I don't get how he cant just keep his feet under him. He just slop flops on his face all his losses
Crazy yoshi barely gets kk after owning the zuna
Atamifuji out of nowhere. Wonder if he has mentsl issues when hes down early that makes him not care/ not fight hard when out of the race
Was hoping Tom O'washy would have been a bit stronger. He needs to stay in the top for like 2 more years to nab all the longevity records. 10 L going to put him around m10.
Fujinokawa looked goid, but theres too many vetter muscles manlets at thd top and i think next tournament will be rough on him
No a good start to tacoqueso's self proclaimed last year to go hard for ozeki and yusho again
What do we think the minimum requirement will be for dan to rope? feel like 11-4 wouldn't be good enough, and will need another 12-3 to get it

dan is gonna beat onosato in march but hes gonna lose to horse in the playoff
he will still get promoted with a record of 13-2

>>254050
>What do we think the minimum requirement will be for dan to rope?
Yusho. They're not going to accept an equivalent for Dan since he's already proven he's capable of winning 2 in a row. And unlike Hoshoryu, they're not short of yokozuna this time.

>>254049
It looked like Dan second guessed himself or overthought the whole thing, he squares up then jumps back a little giving Onosato exactly what he wants on his strong side, really odd choice. Even stranger considering he went up against Zak and the Tomato and didn't shy away from engaging them.

>>254050
Asa did well overall, but i dont think he has enough in him to make it back to sanyaku.
Fujinokawa will be great komusubi

They will promote him with 11-4 even.

The real question is, will Atami implode again when he touches M1 (or maybe K1W)?

I thought so too, but he was moving fairly well this time around. But yeah, being 200 kg is not a safe to go about it either way

Yokozuna runs seem to have a fairly high success rate once that first yusho or equivlanet at Ozeki comes in. Sato, Hosh, Teru, K*senosato, Kakuryu, once they yusho'd at Ozeki they roped. Sure guys fail it like Zak, Kiri, Keisho, but considering the size of the achievement the success rate is pretty damn high.

True japanese spirit, I kneel. Other gaijins in sumo should take notes from Aonishiki and maybe they could be as successful as he is

>>254068
it also means he knew he would win.. the camera is on your face while anthem is playing. Also, that's huge simping ...he might as well be a weeb.

>>254070
wouldn't anyone sane want to live in Japan rather than Ukraine regardless of whether there was a war or not?

>>254068
How is that hinkaku? Learning the language and customs of a country you intend to live in should be the absolute minimum.

>>254068
I remember some nip comments calling him the "Blue-eyed samurai"

>>254071
sure, but not everyone is capable of simping, at least not to that degree as aonishiki is doing. I mean learning a language is one thing, but anthem.. was he saying/singing the anthem in kyushu? I didn't notice and it wasn't anywhere in the news, until this basho.

>>254074
Are you implying that learning fluent Japanese is easier than learning the Japanese national anthem?

>>254075
its not something you need to know unless you are planning on getting the yusho/love the country

>>254076
Anon it's just a song. A really slow one without too many words. It's not hard to learn one.

>>254077
nah, Aonishiki is a huge weeb and is hiding his huge figure collection and whale gacha accounts bought with the price money.

>>254070

When you're living in a nation, participating in their national sport, wearing their traditional clothing, speaking their language, learning their national anthem isn't simping, it's respect.

>>254071
>Japan rather than Ukraine
Earthquakes, tsunami, densely populated in the flat areas, expensive as fuck. Nah, I'd rather live in rural Ukraine where there aren't as many people, it's flat, less expensive, and still has forest and pasture lands.

Ukraine is poor, corrupt, and war-torn. Mozambique has some lovely forests and pastures too, but nobody wants to live there. Japan, on the other hand, is stable and relatively prosperous, and offers far more opportunities for a motivated young man than anywhere in Eastern Europe ever will in Aonishiki's lifetime. Even if you're the sort of sperglord who wants to live in a log cabin and never speak to anyone, Japan has extensive and sparsely populated rural regions. You can even go hunting for boar and bear up in the mountains.

And Onosato is Hoshoryu's personal jobber

If you go to the JSA's official YT page and sort their vids via popularity, a lot of the top matches feature Hosh. More specifically, matches of Hosh losing after he became Yokozuna. You have to scroll quite a bit to find an Onosato or Aonishiki vid where they aren't fighting Hosh, and they are the JSA's golden children who get the lion's share of attention. So whether you like him or hate him, think he deserves Yokozuna or not, you cannot deny that Hosh is bringing attention.

The crazy part to me is that Aonishki hasn't even reached his full man strength yet. At 25, 26 he's going to be way stronger and heavier.

I want Aonishiki to change his shikona to Hakuho just to piss literally everyone off.

I think Anon meant his 27 straight wins on debut.

>>254172
No Chris made a point of comparing Asahifuji to Jokoryu so I assumed Jokoryu must've made sekitori after that 27-1 otherwise there'd be no reason for a cutoff point in the middle of Makushita. Turns out I was wrong and Chris is just a retard. Kazuma went 27-1 to reach sekitori if we're being intellectually honest about it.

>>254173
>Turns out I was wrong and Chris is just a retard.

>>254173
>Chris is just a retard
WHAT???

Takakeisho is finally taking over a stable and becoming an oyakata. I hope we see him do shinpan duties soon so we can witness the plop.

>>254177
Now that he is a wimpy skinny little bitch, what is Takakeisho going to do if one of the wrestlers in his stable gets out of line? He can't beat them with golf clubs, thats not allowed anymore. Takanosho could just rape Takakeisho's wife and Takakeisho wouldn't be able to do anything about it, he'd just have to sit there and watch.

>>254179
Realistically, how many of the oyakatas could physically overpower their men? Even if you're generous and assume his wife is actively resisting, can you imagine Futagoyama for example getting off his beer crate and going toe-to-toe with Roga?

>>254177
It's like dropping a chopstick on it's end now, no more plop.

>>254180
Futagoyama would destroy Roga, he was an ozeki and is still at his fighting weight. Roga is pretty much just an upper juryo guy who lucked into the mid maegashira ranks.

>>254184
Futagoyama only has one working arm, lol. The fact that he's the same weight just means he's 100% fat now.

Nishonoseki Oy𝐚k𝐚t𝐚 on H𝐚tsu B𝐚sho: Aonishiki h𝐚d the composure to execute 𝐚 meticulous str𝐚tegy
When all was said and done, Aonishiki showed the pride of a "kanban" (billboard) rikishi, thwarting the "gekokujo" (the underdog overturning the elite) from the Maegashira ranks. As the only Yokozuna or Ozeki to demonstrate stable strength across all 15 days, he once again proved the power of a wrestler who possesses a firm style built through steady, diligent training.

- The Championship Playoff
Regarding the playoff on the final day: Atamifuji dug in with a right-hand inside grip, and for a moment, it appeared the Ozeki was struggling. However, watching from ringside as a judge, I felt there was a clear difference in power between the two. The kubinage that decided the match wasn't a desperate "sink-or-swim" move; it was a technique executed as a trap. Even as Atamifuji frantically tried to work his way inside, the Ozeki suppressed him using his latissimus dorsi muscles and sheer power. He encouraged Atamifuji’s urge to get inside, only to execute the throw at the perfect moment. Even in a match with the championship on the line, he had the mental composure to formulate a meticulous strategy.

- Stability and Vulnerabilities
His mental state and posture never wavered. Because his left side is so strong, getting an inside grip neutralizes the opponent's right overarm grip. Furthermore, if he allows an opponent to get too low, his upper body rises, and he enters a state where he cannot exert power. Conversely, if an opponent successfully kills his left-hand game, a chance for victory emerges. Oho and Onosato, who both defeated him, fought exactly that kind of sumo.

- The Road to Yokozuna
Next tournament, he will finally be on a Tsuna-tori (Yokozuna promotion) run. I have pointed out his challenges before: he is the type of wrestler who has very clear "prey" and "kryptonite" opponents. It is urgent that he finds a countermeasure for wrestlers who push him upward by the roots with pure strength—including Onosato, whom he has never beaten. He must avoid creating "nemesis" wrestlers. His last two championships were both won with 12 wins. To aim for Yokozuna, he will need to reach a higher level of 13 or 14 wins.

- The San'yaku and Rising Stars
The two Yokozuna finished with 10 wins while not at 100% fitness. How should we view this? I want to give them credit for stabilizing their performance mid-tournament despite not being in top form. As for Onosato, opponents are taking advantage of the fact that he fights with a single rhythm. Both need to reassess everything from their training volume to their conditioning phases.

Fujinokawa, who earned 10 wins at his career-high rank, looks set to leap into a position where he will face all the top-ranked wrestlers in the Spring (Haru) Basho. His "all-out" attitude is very likable, and I hope he continues to enliven the dohyo by refining a style unique to smaller wrestlers.

It was actually impressive that he defeated so many other rikishi with just a single arm.

>>254210
It was, showed that he has more range than being big + moving forward + great balance + dohyo boundary awareness. I'm also happy for Hosh finishing strong on a fucked meniscus.

How often do wrestlers use pomeade on their hair and when do they wash it off?

>>254216
every day and once or twice per week (they shower frequently but don't always shampoo the hair)

>>254216
It's tsubaki (camellia oil) and each heya has a hairdresser to take care of that for them.

>>254229
Not quite. Prospective tokoyama are recruited by stables in the same way that wrestlers are, and not all stables have one. There are a limited amount of slots available for tokoyama, although additional ones can be opened up if a large stable without any specially requests it. If there aren't any open slots, prospective non-wrestler recruits are often encouraged to become a gyoji or yobidashi instead. Stables without their own hairdressers will generally have the wrestlers style their own hair on a day-to-day basis, or, if convenient, a tokoyama attached to a physically close stable in the same ichimon will do it. For tournaments and other official appearances, an appropriately ranked tokoyama from the ichimon is responsible for tying the oicho-mage for sekitori whose stables lack their own.

Why doesn't Yoshinofuji have his topknot styled into the fan shape?

>>254234
Hair is not long enough yet
