Lots of good picks in M11+. I hope Tochinoshin has been able to use the extra time off to recover as much as anyone else, but just can't pick him with Terunofuji and Wakatakakage both returning to makuuchi. Really excited for Waka, it was a huge bummer when he got injured so early in his makuuchi debut.

It's so cool to see Terunofuji back in makuuchi. I hope we get some serious kaiju action. Also looking forward to seeing who's been able to train properly given the ban on degeiko (training with rikishi in other stables) due to COVID-19. I think we're in for a very odd basho, given how long it's been since they've been in the ring, and since many of these guys have even seen each other.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
just eyeballing it i'd say takakeisho has benefited quite a lot from the extra time to heal. which is great because he's a fantastic fighter to watch when he's on and it was really rough watching only flashes of brilliance shine through the hindrance of a seriously compromised body.

Takayasu looked..... unimpressive is being generous.

I love the guy but I think I need to face the fact that I probably won’t see him in the same YouTube videos in a basho or two.

Sorry I'm late
Having the small crowd makes this basho feel better to me even if I know that there still shouldn't be one. This day felt kind of weird though. All of the older former Ozeki in the bottom of the division, Kakuyru loving up in the dumbest way, and everyone just looking rusty.

I watched that match and was like, "surely they'll spare him the humiliation and conjure some agency by Endo to win it..." but nope. Koshikudake. Ouch.

Asanoyama looked like a drat Ozeki. Met the charge, parried a couple of attacks, then finessed a win that looked easy. Really impressive.

Martytoof posted:

Yeah that was a pretty flaccid performance. On the other hand, Tochinoshin looked like he could at least hold a little weight on his paper knee. So maybe he's got a comeback in him?

kakuryu seems like exactly the sort of person to come back from an extended layoff rusty as gently caress but this is pretty sad.

if you put on that sort of display and either your body or your brain nopes out you should probably retire. which would be a drat shame since he looked great in the last tournament.

Just realized Hakuho isn't available so I guess this trade isn't allowed. So what happens to me since Kakuryu pulled out and both Hakuho & Asanoyama are on my "bench" (so to speak)?

If I understand it right, if Hakuho isn't available for trading but others in the category are, you pick one of those others.

Apparently Kakuryu's official Kyujo reason is a right elbow injury.

Gonna drop Kakuryu then and pick up Takakeisho as a replacement.

Also that's odd. He looked to have tweaked/landed awkwardly on his right leg on Day 1 which made me think it was more of a leg injury than anything.

It looks like he went for a leg sweep, leg swept himself then landed badly on his elbow. Out of the last 10 basho he's been injured in 5 of them.
