I would like to not trade mitakeumi. My team will never trade.

Both your request and your overwhelming display of hinkaku have been noted.

@Kenning, I’m going kyujo 7/16 if that’s OK.

I’ve been having a super busy week leading up to trade deadline and honestly haven’t even had a chance to watch Sumo, let alone put effort into trading/changing/etc

Kyujo noted, ganbatte kudasai.

Iron Chef Nex posted:

Not to make life more difficult, but I'm pretty sure I got my requested "next Y/O" in time for day 7 too (post right after the Mitakeumi anouncement). Sorry to not be more clear, I was posting from a handheld and my thumbs were too to dumb and sausage-like to track down my team post at the time.

Time to ride-or-Shodai

No worries, this was actually pretty easy because your next in line was Shodai anyway, I just had to fit you into the correct place in the wire and update your team for Day 7 instead of day 8. Sorry I missed the initial request.

Vargatron posted:

If it hasn't happened already, I would like to trade Mitakeumi for the next available Y/O competitor... For what it's worth.

Everyone with Mitakeumi except ilmucche above will be getting Shodai for Day 8, per auto-trading rules. This is also true for anyone with Takanosho. brut will be trading both Mitakeumi and Takanosho, so they'll be getting the Takanosho replacement for Day 9 instead of Day 8. Here's the full list of Takanosho auto-trades:

bessantj - Ura
Brut - Tamawashi
Gaghskull - Kiribayama
Netsky - Kiribayama

sumo continuing to prove its a real sport by having great matches hosed by the referees and the judges

Honestly the tate-gyoji have been a hot mess the whole time I've been watching sumo. There hasn't even been a Kimura Shonosuke since 2015, since the then-Shikimori Inosuke was inconsistent and drank too much, and finally called the question by sexually assaulting a junior gyoji. Now the new Shikimori Inosuke has made a number of very high-profile bad calls. I'm just waiting for Konosuke and Yodo to make it tate-gyoji, those two are serious business.

Anyway, I'm just gonna say what everybody's thinking: Nishikigi yusho.

That was some real highway robbery on that last match, holy poo poo.

There was some recent umm.. dust up on the forums about some anime called Made in Abyss. and Welp:

https://www.otaquest.com/naoya-shodai-made-in-abyss/

quote:

Sanspo’s article talks about how all of the athletes were forced into lockdown after some of them were discovered playing golf before the tournament – a serious violation of the rules put in place to ward off the spread of the Coronavirus. Apparently, it was then that Naoya Shodai discovered Made in Abyss: “I cried. I also forced the other athletes in the room to watch it. Everyone cried at the same moments as me.”

answered my own question with yokozuna Tochigiyama Moriya

In June 1931, Tochigiyama took part in the first Dai-Nippon Rikishi Senshuken (大日本角力選手権), special sumo tournament. To the surprise of many, he defeated Tamanishiki and Tenryū, and won the championship.[3] In the modern age, retired wrestlers can no longer take part in any special sumo tournaments.

he retired six years earlier and beat a then current yokozuna to do it, lol

I am unaware of any circumstance where a basho that was not cancelled wasn't fought to completion, but this would be the one if any, jfc. I'm going to have to reread the autotrading rules to determine whether Ichiyamamoto gets traded out for Day 9 or Day 10, I can't remember atm.

Sorry I'm late
Question for people who understand Japanese better than me. I'm learning my hiragana so I noticed that Natto's videos have the wrestler names in it above the kanji.

For Enho, there is a う at the end that I wouldn't have expected


Is that a half voiced kind of sound that I'm not picking up when Japanese speakers say his name? A written character but not something actually pronounced? Is his shikona more properly romanized to 'Enhou' like I've seen Endo/Endou written?
