My heart says Takayasu, but that head/neck hit in November was pretty bad and I don't know how he's been looking.

I want him to be fine, and I will happily take a demotion deeper into Juryo if it means he can put up a KK or even finally seal the deal.

I've been checking the banzuke between basho because I've been tracking the prospects of Hak and Kise's guys as they're working their way up and the first of the actual recruits (not guys that transfered over like Hokuseiho or vets like Enho) are getting up into upper Makushita and should be pushing for Juryo soon. I hope they succeed and send a bunch of guys up to prove modern techniques work.

He first gained fame in the 1980s as vocalist of the heavy metal band Seikima-II, before starting a solo career in 1990 and branching out into other forms of entertainment. I love this sport.

It looks like Tokushoryu, the People's Champ, did not retire. He'll be fighting on even numbered days this basho (day 2, day 4, day 6, etc.) as Makushita #2 West.

Okinoumi is retiringDeepL Translate posted:On January 13, it was learned through interviews with persons in the know that Okinoumi (37), a former ozekiwake and the 12th rank in the nishi-maegashira division, whose real name is Ayumi Fukuoka and is from Okijima-cho, Shimane Prefecture, in the Hakkaku stable, has decided to retire from active sumo. The veteran rikishi, who became the first rikishi from Shimane Prefecture to be promoted to sekiwake in 121 years, will close the curtain on his career in the ring.

I read that Okinoumi has elder stock, so he'll be kicking around the sumo world for quite a while to come. Not sure if he's going to open his own stable or what though.

Day 7: For the love of god someone get Shodai a sports psychologist, he's got SUCH a case of the yips, what is going on? Abi v Hoshoryu was a solid match, Hoshoryu is a man on a mission. Also this was kinda funny at the end: https://clips.twitch.tv/AbrasiveBelovedBubbleteaYee-k0O6mAN1IO0RVoPr But oh my the Midorifuji vs Takakeisho match was just so good. Intense from start to finish, Keisho ducking or parrying almost half a dozen face slap attempts, and that mid bout standup/stare down? What a fight. https://clips.twitch.tv/BigBelovedWormThunBeast-pMNr6pKHOyXiNnae

Day 8: Tobizaru with some clown sumo monkey magic to get the win, impressive leg sweep. Shodai is officially washed from his Ozeki chance this tournament. Hoshoryu straight up pulled a "throw the drunk out of the bar" on Sadanoumi. I need to get a good screenshot of Hosho's face just after the match too, it'd be a perfect emote somewhere. Takakeisho with the slappatoshi win, still tied for the lead. A good day.

That part of the culture needs to go. If Hosh's doctors say "give it a day and come back if it feels better" then that's fine, he doesn't need to make it worse.  Day 10: Enho might have gotten his left arm tweaked in his fight. He got the win, but at one point he got trapped in an arm bar/lock that sorta looked like it might have hyper-extended his elbow? Shodai showed up. Hair game on point tonight:

There should still be a middle ground somehow, so a wrestler can get the recovery they need without dropping way down the rankings. Maybe limiting the number of times a year they can sit out without loss of rank, and then have a slightly less punishing rank drop if they go over that. Just kinda spitballing.

Natto claimed on his Ko-Fi supporters page that his latest takedown wasn't even a legit NHK copyright strike, it was someone with a grudge against them, trying to get him deplatformed on Youtube.

Brut posted:That's cuz you're seeing bad rebroadcasts at like 540p or whatever, go find a working Japanese VPN and look at the actual Abema feed. NHK Plus IPTV has the english feed, but you have to jump through some wild rear end hoops to get access to NHK Plus, and even then it'll only be good for one month before they nuke the account.
