Tim Sumo

With controversy once again overshadowing the real sport we must remember there’s a Yokozuna run live. Aonishiki just needs to win the yusho for a serious shot at being yokozuna. Kirishima also needs just 11 wins to reclaim Ozeki. Let’s get focussed on the sumo! Can they do it?

Terunofuji needs to be punished but Asahifuji has to be banished from the sport. This is his second Yokozuna protege to attack someone with a bottle. His legacy is already tainted beyond repair but you can’t let him quietly retire. He needs a public denouncement. Hakkaku should resign too.

Lucky they drove Hakuho out of sumo so that the Miyagino wrestlers wouldn’t be subjected to violence. 😤

Well yeah this is exactly my point 100%. The living arrangements and the hierarchy are a keystone part of the culture

When you have a sport where there are constant violations like this and another where there are none it isn’t that one group are “nice” and the other are “mean”. It’s all to do with the culture. Sumo culture turns nice guys into offenders.

It was their first meeting, Fujinokawa won Oshitaoshi

No worries. Glad to have some people pick up the torch. It’s good to have somewhere to go to chat with people about sumo.

Thanks for the end of basho awards. I didn’t quite see enough to fully be able to do one.

Did you miss their match?

lol sorry I thought you were referring to my Atamifuji post. Fujinokawa is not like Mitakeumi, although he is possible Ozeki quality

Congratulations Aonishiki on another amazing performance. Well done to all rikishi. thanks everyone for another great basho.

None of it ever made sense. Don’t expect me to ever refer to Hakuoho, Seihakuho or any other Miyagino rikishi by any Isegahama name.

Aonishiki wins! it’s a playoff! Aonishiki vs Atamifuji!

No we get that if he wins

Yoshi gets his kachikoshi and a special prize but I don’t think he’ll get much of a promotion if any. Atamifuji will most likely take the open Komusubi spot so he will either slide across the M1 east or stay right where he is if they give that spot to Wakatakakage who got 9 wins from M2

Just another reason to dislike everything Isegahama have been doing with this

reminds me of yusho form Mitakeumi. You’re not wrestling him, you’re getting escorted over the rope

Atamifuji wins! Abi, Kirishima and Onosato are eliminated. Aonishiki must win to force a 2 man playoff.

If there was a middleweight division then Fujinokawa would be a sure fire Yokozuna. Has destroying Tokihayate and Asakoryu this last 2 days. Even as a heavyweight he’ll be in the joi as a 21 year old in March. Clear Yokozuna potential despite his small size.

Unless that’s Terunoho trying to push back against it. Cos why did they let him take a second mongolian if he isn’t about to lose his first?

Kotoshoho with the piss off back to Juryo tsukiotoshi. I think it’ll be a while before we see Hatsuyama again.

He gets fighting spirit. It’s only outstanding performance that’s conditional. I think that’s fair enough.

Isegahama new recruit Asahifuji just won Jonokuchi and is according to sumodb from Mongolia. Seihakuho/Toshinofuji is also from Mongolia and is originally from Miyagino but now also Isegahama. are they relaxing the one foreigner rule or is the split of Isegahama and Miyagino imminent?

Copped a massive Sukuinage. Hopefully nothing popped and it was just a hard landing.

That was given yorikiri because Kotokuza’s right toe slipped out but if it didn’t happen I have no idea what that move was supposed to be

Got to be a Kakenage. The Akua special

I’m sure they follow me 😜

Not narrow at all. He just needs to win all his matches today.
