Once again having an Ozeki on the East and the West is indeed joyful

You know... I feel this too. Of course I like certain wrestlers and I like exciting bouts and Ura and surprises...

But I also just enjoy the system. The process.

An orderly banzuke. A Yokozuna who mostly wins. Promising youngsters and reliable old-timers and bows and envelopes and hair cutting.

The whole scheme is just satisfying; when it's tidy, it feels like there's order in the universe.

And the tournaments roll around just often enough that I'm always excited for the next one.

Super flawed sport, but also perfect.
