Its time for the return of Ozeki Shodai. This Banzuke is all over the place. Lots of guys not getting dropped as far as they should, like Ichinojo and Ura, because everyone else below them were so bad. Its going to be a crapshoot to see if I can practice my brand of fantasy sumo and hold on to the title.

Mildly surprised that Oho only landed at M8, but he's unproven in Makuuchi so I guess it makes sense. Will be interesting to see if he can have another good basho and jump to the top of Maegashira. Also interested to see if Tochi bombs out of Makuuchi and starts his retirement arc or manages to squeak out a KK again. Sanyaku is of course the most interesting bit. So stacked.

Given the present social and geopolitical situations we find ourselves in, I'd be happy with 1 thing that's a positive echo of 1939.

Yeah you're right, that's a little low  Tochinoshin should be able to stay in Makuuchi for another basho if he gets better than like, a 5-10 or so, I think. (haven't queried that database on that one so maybe I'm off a bit  ), I hope he gets kachikoshi though.

Crazy Christmas with Chris sumo reporting on a JSA meeting following reported bullying at Isegahama beya, and two rikishi found guilty. Apparently one will be forced to retire, and Isegahama himself has tendered his resignation from the board. Goes on to say Ichinojo will be serving a ban for January for breaking COVID protocol and that the alleged abuse and drinking all happened more than 4 years ago

I can only imagine the poo poo eating grin Hakuho has today, hopefully he recommends Isegahama be forced to write a letter to the JSA promising to be well behaved before they let him run a stable. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14451823

Interesting vid from a different source. Hawaiian Ozeki Konishiki watching sumo depictions in movies and explaining how accurate it is and what they are going for. https://youtu.be/1Z9wVo4TgW0 Brut posted:Yeah I couldn't think of anyone but wakanohana/takanohana off the top of my head but I'm not that familiar with the 90s/2000s sumo history I don't know anyone between Wakanohana/Takanohana and the Wakas, but the first pair of simultaneous sanyaku bros were Terao and Sakahoko in 1989. Terao was in the news recently as he is now Shikoroyama and is Abi's stablemaster though unfortunately he was in hospital during the basho so he missed seeing it. Sakahoko became Izutsu, taking over the stable from their dad and coaches up Kakuryu before he passed a couple years ago. Also in familial banzuke records, Kotonowaka beats Oho to be the first 3rd generation sanyaku.

All the links given are great. Don't forget the obvious Sumodb http://sumodb.sumogames.de/ Thauros posted:i know a blog kinda sounds hilarious in 2022 but we're posting on a loving web forum and i find tachiai an invaluable resource that covers all thevital facets like in ring tactics, promotion/relegation considerations, and off-dohyo drama well. I love tachiai. Not as immediate as twitter, but you can actually find stuff that happened more than 2 days ago. Sumo Prime Time and Sumostew are great channels. SPT is a lot more fun than I expected for something JSA backed. But I'm just glad there's more on YT between basho than Chris, who probably still deserves a mention because he does do some interesting match analysis and gets some cool shots, but his op ed stuff...

My favourite Sumo resource is the Sumo Mainichi podcast. It's so lighthearted and has a lighter feel to it than the other sumo podcasts for some reason. Maybe it's the accents  I'm sad that they switched to a pre/post basho format rather than covering every day but good god I can't blame them -- coming up with an hour long podcast for 15+ days straight every basho for YEARS must have been some kind of slog. Not at all surprised they burned out at the end, but I'm also really glad we still get a pre basho episode, post basho episode, and a banzuke episode now. Plus last time they did a midway recap too, so I think they found their right cadence. I don't think they deliver any particular cutting edge insight or anything (and I don't mean that negatively), but I get exactly what I want out of that show: The vibe of just sitting around with friends and lightheartedly bullshitting about sumo.

There's Sumo Forum, which is where Kintamiyama posts. Not sure if John Gunning does anymore. If you dig a bit, you can find lots of obscure stuff and photos. Do not, I repeat, do not go to Sumo Talk unless you hate yourself. It's like QAnon for Sumo.

Most of the good ones have been taken, but since rikishi are banned from social media don't forget a couple Yokozuna living their best lives out there https://twitter.com/Asashoryu/status/1608236188229578752?s=20 https://twitter.com/HakuhoSho69/status/1605047428524044288?s=20

I can't imagine wanting to continue watching the sport if you truly think yaocho and mukiryokuzumo are the only reasons that unexpected outcomes ever happen (to touch on the main writer's apparent core belief). Also, you gotta have a lot of faith in Terunofuji's acting ability to assert - as this site does - that actually Teru is totally fine and he's just sitting out these honbasho for... reasons...
