Kenning, you should add the hot rikishi video to the OP, preferably the top of it. I'm gonna try to remember to draft my stable this time around, I've been a bit out of sumo recently but I wanna follow this next basho for Hakuho's farewell, who knows, maybe he spoils a Yokozuna run on his way out...or basically passes the torch to someone else. (watch this be one of those M14 yushos)

Yeah, let's do this thing: Y/O: Hakuho/Terunofuji/Takakeisho S/K: Mitakeumi/Wakatakakage/Meisei M1-M5: Endo/Hoshoryu/Okinoumi M6-M10: AOIYAMA/Onosho/Terutsuyoshi M11+: Ura/Ishiura/Chiyonokuni Not a lot of thought in the top ranks, M6+ is just guys I thought were underranked or might overperform. edit: subbed out Takayasu for Meisei Dias fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jul 2, 2021 |

We should get extra points if we can get the sanyaku injury right next basho. Why do I trust Ishiura?

I think this was the first okay day for me but day 2 was a 4-point day so I guess it wasn't too bad either. Good to see Hakuho being a beast. Also after asking me a buncha questions about sumo because I told her I watched it when we met, my GF finally watched a basho day with me. She 1) was having trouble getting over the massive asses and 2) actually really liked it, especially the end of day 1 and that throw. Ah, she also thought all the rikishi looked really sad.

Khizan posted:You can tell it's a fantastic henka, because the audience is applauding a henka in a sekiwake-yokozuna match, and Jason, who normally hates to see a henka, is just like "Welp. That's a henka." without the usual "oh come on!" style commentary. I keep reminding my GF that Hakuho is basically retiring at his "lowest" and EVEN THEN he's still way better than 90% of the top division because it's really hard to grasp if you haven't been following the sport.

I'm so hyped for Hakuho x Terunofuji, please don't get injured, both of you. Ichiyamamoto is one to look out for, he's been pretty solid this basho. Dude's been pretty consistent climbing to makuiichi too, he never won a yusho or had a especially stellar record, but he's gone 10-5 twice to make it to the top division.

Hakuho practices with Enho, there's no way Tobizaru was gonna throw him off with tricky tachiais, and once they were standing Tobi had nothing for him.

My dudes started doing better but I had two 4-point days and I still got Ishiura ready to disappoint at a moment's notice.

I recovered surprisingly well, still not giving Ishiura credit lest he starts loving things up again, but my strategy is paying off. I'd love if Mitakeumi performed consistently tho, I like the dude, he's just never good enough for long enough to make it past komosubi. updates on girlfriend sumo: > she has a crush on wakawaka > she thinks tochinoshin is ugly, then was surprised when she found out he has a big fanbase and looked prettier when he was younger > still impressed by hakuho and terunofuji as we all should be > likes tobizaru and houshoryuu because they're fun to watch > dislikes chiyoshouma and kiribayama because they're too skinny > thinks hokutofuji looks terrifying

Yeah, Japan has a really lovely drug policy for its citizens, and a prosecution system that only takes on cases they will win, so if you get a drug charge there you're hosed. Also what the gently caress no Hakuho in the opening ceremony? The Olympics suck.

Not a terrible basho when it's all said and done, also it was really fun to watch the matches with my GF and cheer for the dudes we picked, haha. Teru carried the team but getting 4 KKs isn't too shabby. Low Tier God Endo would've been a great pickup but alas. I'm content with my Terutsuyoshi position.

Memento posted:People who know more about it than me: what are the chances we're looking at a period without a Yokozuna in the near future? I understand there have only been two times in the past hundred years that this has happened. I also understand that there doesn't need to be a Yokozuna; you can have a basho without one, but you need ōzeki, sekiwake and komusubi at the top of the card. Honestly, if Teru had hosed up his rope run, we would BE in a period without a Yokozuna for an unknown amount of time, so if his knees turn to dust again...God knows I love Takakeisho but he's inconsistent and very one-note, and Shodai is good, but like, not dominant good? They'd need two outstanding tournaments in a row tho and they haven't been able to even approach that.

Well, I clearly know who the underperformer in my team is, tobizaru So far we had some pretty fun sumo, a lot of close bouts and all, maybe not having the shadow of The Oyakata Formerly Known As Hakuho looming over them made some dudes extra motivated to do well. who knows maybe this is finally mitakeumi's time to shine

bessantj posted:I am asking, once again, for Hoshoryu to pull his finger out and show his uncle whats up! I dodged a bullet there, I was gonna have him as my first pick for the ranking. Dude's young and really good so I'm sure eventually he's gonna be a solid high maegashira rikishi at least and his uncle will troll him less. bad day for our team, but Tobizaru is doing better!! see!!!!! no reason to worry at all (he's gonna lose the next four in a row)
