Hakuho's crew usually have cool (and matching) yukata. Must have been hanging on to those for a while.

Also, that was the best sanyaku soroibumi I've seen in a while.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Here we go! Feels weird watching perhaps the last Hakuho fight ever. His wife and kid are in the stands as well and I've never seen them there before. It has a sense of finality about it.

lol yeah. it's weird because teru is guaranteed the rope regardless of outcome and yeah it's cool to win a tournament but... i can't explain it but this feels like something much more.

holy poo poo. teru has the rope but he will remember this night until time stops. the gulf is just so wide. and he got his loving rear end kicked. badly. yokozuna aren't supposed to get done like that.

was rooting for terunofuji but can't deny it's cool as gently caress to see the clear GOAT make a comeback like that. the english commentator was treating it like the kaiju was bound to get the rope mid show and i hope he's right.

45 Emperor's Cup victories. Next best is 32. That was brutal, and if that's where Hakuho decides to step out, he can forever say that he left as dominant as he ever was.

just imagine if hakuho retired right now. i think that would do something to teru's brain that may be much worse than that forearm strike he just got scrambled with. imagine being made yokozuna on the back of getting your rear end completely kicked with absolutely no avenue for revenge. devastating.

Sumo's grumpy old men said before the fight that Terunofuji is guaranteed a promotion regardless of the outcome of today's match

remember when this came out right before the basho and a bunch of us thought he'd be out after a few days?
