He's going to continue until he drops from Juryo. I hate seeing him injured because when he is on, his sumo is great to watch. I remember him during his Ozeki run and it was basically lights out once he got a belt grip.

I could have contested the yusho if I traded Oho, but my dignity as a former yokogoona would not allow it.

I think there's a new gyoji in Makuuchi this basho. Though he could also have been guesting from Juryo. I noticed it during the Chiyoshoma/Mitoryu bout.

Yeah I think its fairly understood that you should watch the match day prior to clicking spoilers. Match digests are usually up by 8 EST so its pretty easy to watch the matches before the day shift posters come in.

I wish they offered like 2 weeks at the end of each basho for rikishi to get healthy. Yet another Ozeki reign mired by injury and a hellish training schedule.

Marching Powder posted:it sucks and sumo needs to modernise. i like watching my rikishi at full power and unhindered by injury, not desperately trying to make their body work long enough to eek out a few wins before imploding. Got a grand champion whose knees are literally kindling strapped with C4 and a litany of young talent who have ACL tears that will probably cut their careers short by 5-10 years each.

Does anybody else think Hokuseiho has a really bad tachiai or is it just me? It's like he stands straight up immediately at the beginning of a match. No forward momentum at all.

They really just need to axe the summer jungyo from the schedule and let the rikishi rest and recover. A couple months of rest would do wonders for the quality of the sport. Nobody is going to be able to recover when doing training in 100 degree heat.

You know, I could somewhat forgive that in the name of "preserving sumo culture" or whatever if they were actually doing reforms to improve wrestler health. But it's such an unnecessary nitpick to demand specific shades of blue on grown men. The JSA always focuses on the completely wrong thing.

Hoshoryu has this post match smoulder that I just find endearing. When he wins he just burns through his opponent with his gaze, but when he loses, I see wrathful indignation.

I'm glad that Hakuoho is getting shoulder surgery instead of trying to fight it out in September. You would think with a generational talent like him that the JSA would want to have him wrestle as long as possible. I really hope that profession sumo gets past "you didn't train hard enough" as the answer to sumo injuries. No off season combined with no rank protections makes the wrestlers shorten their careers unnecessarily. I'm also hoping that Shishi performs well this basho and gets a top division promotion. I kind of see him as the next Tochinoshin if he can remain healthy. He's definitely got all the physical requirements of being wrestler to me.

Y/O: Hoshoryu Takakeisho Kirishima S/K: Wakamotoharu Tobizaru Kotonowaka M1-5: Abi Shodai Ura M6-10: Takayasu Kinbozan Endo M11+: Hokuseiho AOIYAMA Kotoshoho Pre-basho scouting reports informed my draft selection a bit this basho. Some rikishi, like Asanoyama, are nursing injuries sustained on the summer tour. I think my M1-5 selections are the most risky, but you play for the yusho, not just to hold rank. My ozeki picks were pretty difficult because I feel all three rikishi are in fairly decent form. I expect Kirishima to at least get a KK, but overall I feel that Hoshoryu has the best chance to scoop the yusho. I think my biggest gamble is Takayasu. He should do well from M7, but his age and recent injury history could very well backfire on me. Regardless, I've had a fairly decent string of winning scores in the past few tournaments, so it might be a good basho to really gamble on success.

pseudodragon posted:Taka and Mita will either be in yusho contention from beating up people they should be a billion times better than or go like 3-12 from being completely broken. Mitakeumi has not been the same since COVID. I don't know if he just has long COVID or there's a lingering injury he's carrying, but he has just struggled performing consistently ever since.

I can forsee him hanging in lower Makuuchi or upper Juryo for enough years to qualify for elder stock and becoming a coach. Honestly the ideal is to be a rank and filer who stays around the lower makuuchi division but does well enough to have a good tournament every once in a while. Just score some 9-6 tournaments and draw a nice salary until you're in your upper 30s, then retire and become a coach. Hopefully avoiding a crippling injury as well.

Nativity In Black posted:Day 10: I really need to get better at Japanese so I can understand the shimpan decisions. I'm guessing that they did a torinaoshi for the Ura/Keisho match because of the dead body rule that I still don't quite understand? This helps my fantasy team but also hurts because I love watching Ura get the most bizarre of wins. Dead body rule is basically where a wrestler in an unassailable winning position touches down first to break their fall and prevent injury. The problem is that this is often up to interpretation on what exactly is an unassailable winning position.
