Mode 7 posted:I am guessing that the old men would like it to be Wakatakakage but it will actually be Hoshoryu. Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, though it might just end up being both of them, I'd like that. I don't think Wakamotoharu will be able to make it to the rank, but I'd be even happier if he proves me wrong, Ozeki brothers would be rad.

Also Koto guys making the Makushita > Juryo push are fun because the get to go from Koto<real name> to actual shikona. There was a lot of hype behind the previous kototebakari (current kotoshoho) and at one point I thought he seemed more promising than Kotonowaka, but we all see now how that turned out, so I'm gonna temper my expectations this time.

Day 4 (kinda) Takarafuji is one of those guys who has never pulled out of a bout in his entire career so while he's probably not going to pull out during this basho either, that doesn't mean he isn't severely injured and basically unable to fight

JohnCompany posted:The next banzuke will be interesting. Particularly what they do with sekiwake, and what they do with Asanoyama. Eh Asanoyama will either be in a top Juryo slot or a near bottom Makuuchi slot, pretty mundane either way. As for sanyaku hmmmmm I'm thinking: Sekiwake: Wakatakakage and Hoshoryu (obviously), and Kiribayama as 3rd. Komusubi: Wakamotoharu, Kotonowaka and Daieisho.

pseudodragon posted:And the main problem with rank protection is that it screws over lower ranked guys in Juryo and Makushita. A guy sitting out and hogging a spot in Makuuchi means a dude in Juryo doesn't get a jump up. Yeah imagine the logjam if guys like Kagayaki, Sadanoumi, Nishikigi and Takarafuji were sitting out every other tournament, not to mention the older past-their-prime rikishi like Myogiryu, Aoiyama, etc.

I feel like the best bet overall is somehow getting Abema to offer an international paid product, they have the infrastructure, it's all technically already set up and functional, they just need to agree to take my money.

Lid posted:The problem is Abema looks low rent compared to the NHK English feed. It's washed out, too much information noise, and static. No cinematography, no English. The NHK feed is so much superior and its genuinely painful how hard it is to get a hold of. That's cuz you're seeing bad rebroadcasts at like 540p or whatever, go find a working Japanese VPN and look at the actual Abema feed. You can get an NHK feed with IPTV services, but they don't support switching over to the English broadcast unfortunately. Brut fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Jan 25, 2023 |

I guess now that I'm looking at it in more detail (and not quite as sleep deprived), it appears the actual manufacturer is "Re-Ment" which is a Japanese toy manufacturer, so theoretically you'd be able to find their products in various stores that carry Japanese products, Jellybeet is just the first one that came up that appears to have these in stock. Seems like Re-Ment use the blind box model quite frequently for a variety of their product lines.

I don't know if they actually sell full sets or if you'll just have to buy enough blind boxes to get lucky, assuming you can even find it in stores. If you're there long enough and/or have a local contact I'd maybe check Yahoo Auctions as people seem to use that a lot there instead of ebay.

MyChemicalImbalance posted:Kintamayama was my go to when I was thinking "oh I'd love to watch X rikishi's ozeki run" or the odd bout that came to mind, this is terrible and I only hope someone was able to grab some of his videos To clarify, Kintamayama's uploads currently show up as private (as opposed to "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.", which is Jason's situation) and in his video he mentioned he got a second strike, not a third, so I believe everything is still there. I do not know if he is still at risk of receiving a third strike despite all the videos being private.

Like 99% of the time I hear about Telegram it's from Russian-speaking communities, there's Russian DOTA streamers that have their own groups set up basically instead of Discord servers, and I think my mom is in a bunch of groups that share coupons and like fashion advice or something along those lines. Each server/group is completely isolated from the rest so it's not like you're gonna get exposed to nazis/isis by accessing a Sumo-related one. That being said, that still sounds like a pain in the rear end just to watch videos, I was hoping he'd just keep making new channels, since his monetization is off-site anyway. Either way, thanks for the update! Brut fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Feb 4, 2023 |

Nativity In Black posted:So it seems like the options for March are to join Natto's telegram or follow Kintamayama on Rumble? Eh, wait like 90~ minutes after the day ends, search youtube for sumo, then filter by "today", I'm sure something will come up. Also you can just look through the Past Broadcasts of whoever is streaming it on Twitch, that just means you have to do your own scrolling (read: mash right arrow) between matches instead of having it conveniently cut to the relevant points.

Hokutofuji is always fun to watch, I'm assuming Tobizaru counts as a fan favorite so I can't pick him. hmmm, I enjoyed Yago's matches a lot while he was coming up through Juryo, before he got injured so much it took him not only back down to Juryo, but now down to Makushita.

At the end of the day none of what he's saying has gently caress all to do with what we actually want, we just want to see the matches, all the matches. Is there a legal way for me to do that? No. If there was, I'd use it. Like he's talking about sumo "reporting" and all that stuff but none of that is what was actually getting hit here, nobody's getting copyright strikes because they're simply talking about Sumo.
