i was wondering how the official english language thing was going to go and this is... pretty good. i love the idea of getting rikishi to say 'sumo primetime' while the camera stays on them just slightly too long. e: i love how sumo decorum gives us things like takayasu explaining that his new baby is adorable in the exact same tone and cadence as 'i will try to impose my brand of sumo' Marching Powder fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Sep 8, 2022 |

Khizan posted:If anything it was a show of respect, IMO. Hakuho, the best rikishi to ever step into the dohyo, didn’t think he could beat Shodai in a straight fight that day and so he had to resort to that. My head canon for this bout is Hak was so impressed by Tobizaru's weird stand offish approach in their fight that Basho that he wanted to try it out himself, and Shodai was the perfect candidate.

I've been pleasently surprised. Say what you want about Hiro's commentary, but dude loves his sumo and his enthusiasm shows, which is really the important part in something like this. Him getting access no other English source has already guarantees unique content, he just has to sell it.

His delivery is just very much not my thing, but otherwise there is no denying his passion and desire to share it with the world. We’re all better off for having this new channel, regardless of what my tastes in showmanship and presentation have to say about Hiro.

Hakuho's real gift was he could take your style of sumo and beat you with it. This is a favorite, he just gives Takakeisho a free shot at him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6WWreGfXTU&t=180s

Takakeisho should bring back that mawashi And we can't discuss Hakuho without this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEJxwKP_x2Y Does anyone have the video where he henkas Harumafuji out into space? I can't find it.

I was always into playing sports. Watching sports just was never my thing. And now I watch sumo and I'm so excited to watch these big guys slam into each other and throw salt around. I don't understand it. I just really like it. And I'm excited that the next basho is here even though I know it's going to be a shitshow just like the last one.

Bentai posted:I think it's this one from Osaka 2016: It's kinda funny that after Haramafuji gets yeeted out of the dohyo, you never see him again in the video except for the replay which also ceases to show him after the yeeting. I can only assume that he was super angry and they didn't want to show his unsportsmanlike conduct.

When i started quoting posts, i thought there would be maybe 6 Ryuden pickers, tops. But its very funny to me that everyone's jockeying for Ryuden (of all people)! Apologies to anyone who feels called out, I thought it was permissible to giggle at others' picks -- other posters are welcome to point out that the reason I'm down in Juryo is because I'm always picking Hokutofuji, and that I'm goofing up by snoozing on Shodai  See you on the dohyo

Fluffdaddy posted:The bottom of 20 guys are all extremely bland so picking a healthy ryuden isn't that crazy. Ryuden is objectively one of the best picks for the bottom ranks. But at the very least https://tachiai.org/2021/05/27/board-meeting-news/ quote:A decision has been made about Ryuden And possibly https://tachiai.org/2021/05/19/asanoyama-absent-from-day-12-due-to-covid-guideline-violations/ quote:(This tabloid is even less credible) – The reason Ryuden has been kyujo is an affair he has had with a woman for three years, including her getting pregnant and him demanding that she abort the fetus, and attempting to silence her with money. It is not clear in what way this has been a violation of the COVID regulations. The tabloid got Ryuden’s attorney’s comment: “The matter is under investigation of the NSK compliance committee so we cannot comment”.
