I think one of my favorite lesser sumo traditions is when they do the yusho portrait reveals and the tinny fanfare plays over the PA system and Abema just shows everyone looking at the ceiling

Looks like Abema is using some different camera angles for tachi-ai? A lot of matches, the camera seemed off center and way too zoomed in.

 I kept putting my "make a team" day off and just realized I missed the deadline entirely. I will accept my punis--wait, exercise my goonzeki privileges to kick my feet up for a coupla months before kadobaning it in November (though if it's still possible for me to be assigned a team comprising day-1 losers and/or random rejects, I'd be all over that option).

Shodai remembered to stretch and do some foot stomps before fighting Tobizaru today. Don't think I've seen him that active in a fight on day 1 in aaaaages. Felt like there was a lot of good sumo today even if it wasn't a massive highlight reel sort of day.

Beeswax posted:Kenning has stated that late entries will be accepted, you'll just be kyujo on day 1. Get your picks in! Eek! Thank you -- I didn't read the thread past the "last call for entries!" since I wanted to watch the matches unspoiled. Having now done so, here's a slightly reconfigured version of my July picks, moving all the day 1 losers to the top where possible (+ replacing Teru with Shodai). Hopefully my lack of goonzeki gusto leading into this basho will be forgiven as I attempt to combine my usual style of sumo with a display of contrition. Y/O: Takakeisho Mitakeumi Shodai S/K: Hoshoryu Kiribayama Daieisho M1-5: Tobizaru Midorifuji Meisei M6-10: Onosho Hokutofuji Takanosho M11+: Ryuden Kotoshoho Yutakayama

Hoshoryu is apparently still suffering from an ankle injury sustained two months ago according to reports. Hopefully he can pull out an 8-7 record and heal up before november.

Hey, what's Ryuden's deal? I saw some people on Midnight Sumo complaining about him but they didn't mention specifics, just that a lot of them hate his guts.

I've edited the original post to get your day 1 scores in. Hopefully we'll have this all settled by day 3. Goddamn, Shikimori Inosuke does not have a great voice for announcing the top division guys in advance of the dohyo-iri. It sounds rough.
