i had a dream that there was a guy in the next basho's /sp/ threads who was schizoposting acting like he was draining the life force of onosato every time he gave out a kinboshi tamawashi cleared him like day 3-4 and the dude posted a cum tribute make what you will of this future information
There's a chance Fujinokawa gets promoted to K1w instead of Kotoshoho btw. The Sanyaku expansion means next banzuke the K1w spot will be where M1e was last banzuke, so putting Fuji at K1w wouldn't be an overpromotion. >uhhh he's new he doesn't deserve it Fuji got a KK his first time in the joi. Kotoshosho hasn't KK'd in the joi in six fucking years in Makuuchi.
>>260154 He shitstomped Sandamne and will be in the Makushita joi next basho, eligible for Sekitori promotion if he wins out. Fujinowaka will stop him in his tracks but he'll make in it July.
>post facts pertaining to a guy practicing extreme sports and similar physical activities >post opinions pertaining to a guy practicing extreme sports and similar physical activities >get drone striked for off-topic lel, touched a nerve or what?
Part 2 of the Abi cliffhanger was awesome. So much drama, Abi is not only one of the most entertaining men in sumo, but also one of the most compelling and admirable. What a chad, if Homer was around these days he would write epic narrative poetry about Abi and it would be more popular than The Iliad.
>Abi admired Akebono for his long thrusts You know, that makes a lot of sense since Abi has extra long arms too. >He put his yusho win certificate in his master's coffin Damn that's some heavy shit. Mad respect.
>>260244 Chiyonofuji is well known for having roided to the gills. Part of it was necessary, after a series of injuries he suffered back when he was still maegashira. Japanese culture doesn't care because it's considered medicine to develop the body, and not illegal there like it is in the US. They only care for international sport. That said, he also wasn't anywhere close to being the smallest yokozuna. He wasn't even the smallest of his era, that would be Hokutoumi. Wakanohana III was also shorter.
>>260244 By no means the smallest, just skinnier than usual. Still jacked though. Only 6ft which makes what bulk he does have look bigger. >>260247 >Chiyo - 115kg No, closer to 130. I've never understood why the number at the top of his isn't his highest.
>>260248 >No, closer to 130. I've never understood why the number at the top of his isn't his highest. Probably because 115 is the weight he was at when he was promoted to yokozuna, he didn't break 120 until three years into his run and maxed out at 126 right before retirement. But that 115 is still a big increase compared to the 91 he was at four years prior to yokozuna, when he was fucking around in juryo after his first set of injuries.
>>260250 Terao looks like ~115 to my eye, which is what Sumodb has him at for the time of >>260243 with Chiynofuji at 123-125. But then you look at a guy like Sadanoyama, who on paper has basically the same numbers as Chiyo, but looks nowhere near as big. idk
>>260236 I don't see anything exciting or noteworthy about Abi the past 3 years. >sometimes he henkas >otherwise he's just a mid makushita guy that doesn't stand out at all, he's just always in the division
>>260261 In the last 3 years he's overall been a solid Sanyaku regular. He'll never make Ozeki or anything close to it but when he retires his head will be held higher than most.
https://hochi.news/articles/20260422-OHT1T51306.html Lmao how the fuck is having difficulty gaining weight real nigga like just eat more calories nigga like just have a third helping of chanko nigga
>>260310 Tbdesu I can't ride a skateboard and will be quickly learning. My walk to work is like half an hour and a skateboard will make it more entertaining. Gonna take it to work on Saturday and skate around the back yard on my break. The artwork on the underside is a cool looking owl standing on a basketball for reasons unknown.
Reminder that Fujinokawa might be given the K1w spot over Kotosh*ho owing to how the former maths out at K1w while the latter has never had a KK in the joi.
Who are you watching in Juryo this may? For me, it's Okaryu (photogenic round lad), Asasuiryu (I want to see another pair of brothers in Makuuchi), and Kazuma (future yokozuna).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiC3ZoDitio Cool video from musashigawa beya of them organizing a small charity event in hawaii. You can see them building a dohyo with red clay and Dan Jr Jr doing splits
>>260356 Isn't relative strength your strength level relative to your bodyweight thobeit? Like if you wanted to do the most pullups possible this would apply to you, but when you want absolute strength like a rikishi this chart is useless.
>>260400 The Kirishitma v Yoshi fight was a far more egregious matta tbdesu. Both rikishi called the matta. The only ones who didn't were the ones in charge, and Kiri took the initiative to get a completely undeserved win leading to a Yusho. If that gyoji and those shinpan didn't get a rank demotion from that then I don't know what the fuck.
>Hosh was robbed by an uncalled matta >Kirishitma was given a freebie by an uncalled matta Imagine if Hosh got an extra win and Kiri an extra loss. That's a Hosh yusho.
>>260400 He actually makes a really good point in this that the guy with his fists down first is too often reacting to the other guy STARTING to put his fists down instead of reacting to the fists touching down. Gyojis really are doing a dogshit job.
>>260411 I mean yes in theory but the gyojjis never call it consistently if the second guy doesn't stand still and for them to call it,especially for yokozuna matches
>>260418 Those horses have been bred for centuries for maximum violence. Mongolians are probably the only people besides the Royal Guard who can appreciate them.
>>260400 >this video is niche so i presume you know the basics >anyway, let's discuss the definition of matta and the most basic sumo rules >also, i really wanna hit 1000 subscr-
a sumo fight lasts 4 seconds and these yappers just cannot get to the point
>>260448 Chris is a highly esteemed member of the sumo community doing quality field reporting, please do not compare him to that lowly pleb who can't even bother to learn proper Japanese pronunciation.
>>260455 I hope he finds his form again after his bad March. I enjoy his brand of good honest belt fighting and wish to see him remain Sanyaku as long as possible.
>>260458 It's a good sign that Fujiryoga is getting attention from Kirishitma and Hosh. If he can work on not auto-losing to all belt techniques he'll go places. Dude's mawashi is like Goku getting his tail grabbed lmao
Hii /xs/! I typically only use soc r9k and mu but found this thread when i opened 4chan. I wouldn't think it was possible for a sport to be 100% gay incels but clearly i was wrong.
Not only do you base a sport around fat sweaty men wrestling but then you go and completely ban women. What had to of happened in your pathetic life for you to be that afraid of girs?
Whatever, enjoy your irrelevant incel hugbox. You're smart enough to know if you ever opened up this stupid joke of a sport to women so it could be filler for the Olympics it'd go really poorly for you. I'd easily beat all your chubby gay crushes and a woman would rule your incel sport
>>260492 One was in the joi (the very top of it), other got his 11 wins with a fusen and maegashira. Only 3 sanyaku matches out of which he lost 2 and he henka'd an M12 Asakoryu for his kanto-sho lol.
Kotoshoho humiliation ritual or does boss Koto have enough sway on the banzuke committee to get him bumped up a little extra? Either way he'll end up deliver double digit losses in May
With the banzuke out, I am beginning work on the new bingo card. Feel free to make suggestions and tell me that my ideas suck. Here's what I got so far: >Torinaoshi >Fusen >Loss to juryo >Kinboshi >Playoff >Shimpan bowling >Gyoji slip/bump >Ura does a thing >Utchariharu >Matador Kirishima >Salaryman Zak >Flying Monkey >Shouldersato >Horse moment >[your favourite rikishi] KK Some maybes are "Henka King" for Chiyo doing what he does, and "Grug sumo" for if Shianderthal decides to be retarded. Dan's last perfomance really threw me for a loop, so I have no idea what to do with regards to him.
>>260510 On the bright side, they won't have to worry about how to fill Kotoshoho's soon-to-be vacant Sekiwake slot in July because punished Dan will slide down there nicely.
There any younger guys in the lower ranks that people have a lot of hope for being legit top tier guys? This will be the 2nd tourney im going to watch and while i mostly stuck to the salary rank guys in March i want to try to watch some of the lower rank stuff this time around as well. So id like to know some of the names.
>>260544 Asahifuhi was personally given his shikona by the former Yokozuna Asahifuji, and regularly spars with and beats the top division rikishi at his stable. There's also Wakanofuji who thus far is on cruise control to reach sekitori for July, though his relatively low weight might be a problem.
Kazuma is now the only sekitori to never MK in a basho he's actually attended. I hope he keeps this shikona and doesn't devolve into Waka- or -fuji slop. Kise beya seems pretty chill on shikonas.
Niggatame bros we are in position to head back to juryo with a yusho performance. Either way looks like we will be back in juryo in two bashos at worst.
>>260568 I always pick oho too he is my favorite guy in makuuchi but he frustrating to be a fan of because he will beat dan and then go 4-11. He needs more consistency but he had the makings of an ozeki.
>>260544 K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A K O G A >K O G A
>Koga was an Ozeki shikona as recently as the 1980s
Look faggot I get that he's only 20 and could in theory find himself before too long, but holy shit it is NOT happening. If Oho can't evoke Taiho on demand then Koga isn't channelling Mienoumi.
>>260596 You have no idea how much I envy rikishi. They're in a position where they don't have to care about anything other than focusing every energy they have on self-improvement in sumo. That someone with the genetic potential of Koga would writhe around in fucking Jonokuchi offends me. So few people on this planet will ever be given that chance.
>Takakeisho has recruited his own Mongol If you can't beat 'em, join 'em (or have them join you). https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/71b22c7ea41874a59f56c303b30f180ec1d3534e
>>260636 Takakeisho is fully aware that his brand of sumo only worked for him because of his body type, and knows not to force others into trying to imitate him.
>>260644 Those are probably vids recorded before the haru basho or right after, you wont be seeing him anymore except in random cameos like from Hoshoryu or Meisei.
>>260645 Slam dunk WTK then. His elbow was FUCKED by the end of last basho, go watch his final match on day 13. Between his rank and his elbow I'm seeing a collapse.
Spiffy is the Bill Hicks of sumo content. You basically watch for the unhinged rants. Terrible banzuke decisions, horrific uncalled mattas, Kotoshoho at sekiwake, Kinbozan and Oho in general, I'm there for it.
>>260665 Oh I'm fully expecting a good basho from Oho. It's been a while and his joi position is in danger. May as well call him Taiho for the next two months.
>Hoshoryu With Shouldersato and Toenishiki still question marks he's the safe bet. >Takayasu Just complete his first full tour since Ozeki with zero back problems. Be scared. >Oho Hasn't had success for a while. Be scared. >Wakamotoharu M5e is his lowest rank in three and a half years. Insane for a guy who's never once been in Yusho contention. Be scared. >Fujiryoga Hosh and Kiri see something in him. The guy's a Giganigga level ogre who just needs to solve his mawashi fighting problem to start making real headway up the banzuke. >Wakanosho Idk man the guy's just been on a tear lately.
>>260599 It really is enviable to have a set path and clearly defined goals for improvement, as well as dedicating yourself to it every day, and yet he can't put in the effort to beat kids not through puberty and 45 year olds. 5 years in sumo and not even touching sandanme, not even scraping two kachikoshi in a row even, would make ME want to kill myself in shame, and he comes from a fucking yokozuna bloodline.
Takayasu bros, how are we feeling? He is at Komusubi West so he fights all the big dogs during the first week and then he can farm maegashira after getting tired in the 2nd week.
>>260708 Shiko, foot sliding, and slapping a big wooden pole. That's where their entire physique comes from. Oh and they also lift weights and do steroids.
