This one confused me. How do they call things like this?

Ok I've watched a few days now and I think my boys are Endo, Takayasu, Shonannoumi, Abi and Takakeisho.

Does Gonoyama have a hairy back? I liked someone other than Takayasu who was a hairy boy but I don't remember who.

Atamifuji seems kinda rad, what's his deal?

Also does the slope of the dohyo come into play in decisions? Like if both guys are falling but one of them is over the edge so he hits the ground later does he win? Idk if I'm explainig this well.

It seems like Shonannoumi either does something really cool or loses in two seconds.

lmao Takakeisho doesn't give a gently caress I love him.

Was hoping for Takayasu to make the playoffs but I'm still proud of him.

Shonannoumi was the only one of my boys to go makekoshi.

I'm new to sumo but I think Takakeisho owns and the anit-climax was kinda funny and I get being upset that it wasn't a big epic clash but making GBS threads on Takakeisho for it seems lame :shrug:.

Can I please trade Tohakuryu for Ichiyamamoto?

I'm allowing myself this trade because Tohakuryu is not one of My Boys.

There's no way Takakeisho is getting Yokozuna even with a yusho at 12-3 right?

Awesome basho, despite all the kyujo chaos, and a rad ending. So proud of my boy Kotonowakazakura.


Kinda glad Teru won in the end though. I worry about all the pressure a yokozuna must be under :ohdear:

That's two KKs from two tournaments. I hope my style of sumo continues to get me barely over the line in the future.

Sending Takerufuji my energy, what a horrible way for a historic run to end. So if Onosato wins tomorrow and Takerufuji can't compete in the playoff does Onosato just get the yusho?

Sucks about Ura too I wanted to see him go KK in his hometown :smith:

Also lol my boy Gonoyama getting his third fusen

I love Abi and his big dumb face.

some kinda jackal posted:

Every basho there’s a bout or two where I’m like “I have no idea who the gently caress this is” and it turns out it’s one or two men without qualities that I’ve been watching for like 6 years now.

That's Tobizaru for me as well as... somone else with a T-name I don't remember.
