the best thing about all the salt is it regularly affects the fights, operating as sort of a wild card. his opponent can lose their footing on it. so can he.

NHK has the highlights show available on their website. There is a guy in low Juryo named Tochimusashi. He’s doing great, has a cool name and has an Aoiyamaesque physique. I’m rooting for him to hit the big time.

I'm loving Hoshoryu this basho. Also, Tamawashi is a confirmed legend. 37 years old, never missed a day (except for the COVID precautions last basho), and he's fighting like a wrestler in his 20s. Incredible.Boogalo posted:Trade Request Ryuden for Yutakayama for day 6 Trade registered for Day 6. Also, I love this formal trade request format, I think I'll incorporate it into the trading structure. Robviously posted:Trade request: Hoshoryu for Wakatakakage I'm a little confused, cause you have Daieisho. Are you requesting to replace him with either Hoshoryu or (failing that) Wakatakakage? I can do that for day 6, but I'll need clarification. Fluffdaddy posted:multiple elders in the thread confirmed. Lmao. Day 5 standings Makuuchi code:code:

I watch twitch JP abema streams until the NHK youtube ones go live. Keep up with who is up by the results list on the nhk website. Its kinda fun trying to follow youtube channels around as they get banned. Usually happens at least once a basho. NHK could wise up and just sell a stream for $10 per event and make a bunch of cash but noooo we cant make it too easy to watch our stuff or buy our merch.

There are various companies providing direct access to Japanese TV so you can get several different NHK feeds, unfortunately as far as I can tell they don't include the dual-audio feature that residents of Japan get on their TVs. I used isakuraiptv.com a few years ago but it looks like they are not currently taking new signups (but can reactivate existing accounts? I dunno what what's about), there's probably other providers.

To uphold bushido I will not trade Teru while he is still active, but if he decides to go kyujo I will respect his wishes and trade for Taka and Mita in that order please. Lexorin posted:Terutsuyoshi is in the top ranks of sumo. Frankly, everyone in Makuuchi should be throwing huge amounts of salt as they are all extremely good. Absolutely, it's so easy to forget this unless you're following lower divisions closely. Literally nobody in makuuchi is a mediocre sumo wrestler, especially right now. I'd argue that Shodai himself is one of the best ozeki of all time by default, simply for lasting at that rank for this long during such an incredibly competitive period of sumo history. Also mark me down as fanatically and jingoistically pro-salt, as a degenerate westerner I support all opportunities for maximalism and personality in sumo. If you stodgy elders hate salt bombs so much then stop shedding salty tears over Terutsuyoshi being a wicked cool dude. I think the fact that he doesn't stop just because he's having a rough patch is sick as hell.

Shodai is hilarious for being consistently mediocre right up until you realize the thing he's consistently mediocre at is being the second highest ranked rikishi in the world. Good lord I love Shodai.

if i could imagine being shodai with a scrap of self awareness for a second, i could envisage admitting that this is as far as you would ever go. logically, instead of busting your rear end and destroying your body trying to get the rope, maybe just do the bare minimum every other basho and drag this thing out... writing shodai fic over here.
