i didn't know you could do trades unless someone went kyujo. i'll switch enho for kagayaki if possible. love enho but he clearly doesn't have it this basho.

I've been busy so I didn't realize Kyokotaisei was out, can I get either Tobizaru, Chiyotairyu or Ichinojo in that order? Did I get this trade in in time?

I’m going down with my lovely team like I do every time. I can’t believe Terutsuyoshi went for the same exact trip on Asanoyama.

Is it too late for trades? I'd like to Drop Yutakayama for Terunofuji (Not sure if any are unavailable) Kiribayama or Takanosho if he's not.

I know it'd probably be a smart move to trade out Endo or Terutsuyoshi but I still can't get rid of the feeling that they'll make a plucky comeback in the second half of the basho.

Endo is my weakest link but I'm okay with my picks so far. I should've trusted in the boi Takakeisho tho. The sphere of unbridled aggression has a shot at the basho!

I'm really enjoying the frenetic pacing of these matches. It's nice to see that underhooks are still the poo poo in this setting. On a side note are there any female or other gendered sumo wrestlers? It seems to be about big beefy cis-boys exclusively?

Another day of really good bouts. Glad to see Hokutofuji showing some fighting spirit and putting away Endo like that Kotoshogiku coming back in seems ill-advised, his leg is clearly still hosed but I guess he's desperate to avoid demotion

Ishiura returning in stylr! Although, the degree to which his ankle has to be strapped up has me really worried with the sorts of spills everyone's been taking.

My first basho that ive watched on a daily basis (instead of all at once, in July), and I've got my 9 year old daughter watching. She knows the 5 guys I have pretty well, and we have 20 mins or so of screaming about sumo every day. It's great. (*My 5 guys are Asanoyama, Daieisho, Terunofuji, Aoiyama and Kotoshoho)

Feel like the highlight bout for today was Tobizaru vs. Meisei: I don't think I've ever seen so many near misses and victory opportunities get countered so fast before. Just lightning fast, high energy the whole way through!

Tobizaru is fun as gently caress to watch! Some of the 6-2 crowd finally getting culled, was sad to see my boy Takayasu exited like that but he’s already far exceeded my expectations for this basho so I can’t be too displeased. And  at Tochi, going for a weak henka two days in a row. Womp womp.I really hope we still have like a four or five way tie for first come day 14. That’s going to make for some exciting sumo!

obv he's still quite a bit away from getting to that point and his knees could give out at any time, but terunofuji looking as good or better than anyone at m1 after fighting all the san'yaku made me wonder if anyone's ever been able to regain their ozeki rank the hard way after losing it? i know obviously tochinoshin (briefly), takakeisho, and others historically have managed the 10 wins at "ozekiwake" to return back immediately

Googling around a bit found Kaiketsu, who went from Ozeki to M6 and then back to Ozeki, between 1975 and 1977: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=4076

It was such good work. he scurries around so Ichinojo can't get up a head of steam and push him out. Then he gets under Ichinojo's defence and pushes up at the pits sending him back. Very good work from the little man who has had a rather bad basho.

I'm really enjoying seeing Tobizaru's frantic style, and also seeing Terunofuji in total kaiju mode. Both ozeki also look strong, so the final few days are going to be exciting. Terunofuji has all lower-ranked opponents now, so he's probably favored to win at this point. Day 9 standings: code:

There were some really great bouts today but also looked like a couple of really nasty ankle/knee collapses. I'm scared we're gonna get a few more kyujo tomorrow, as well. This is completely unrelated to the basho, but has anyone got any experience buying original tegata (rather than prints)? I'd be really keen to get a Tochinoshin one but not sure the best way to go about it.

You can contact him through sumo forum, or possibly Twitter now. I bought a Harumafuji for my wife a few years back, which cost me about AUD 200, from memory. Ask him who you want and he can give you a price. I'd recommend being specific whether you'd want a Tochi-as-Ozeki one or whether Tochi-as-ranker, as there'd probably be a price difference and it's better to get exactly what you want.
