gently caress it, hope I'm not late. I'm gonna Shodai this one, cause I'm off overseas for a fortnight on Wednesday. It's been ages since I last played. Y/O Takakeisho S/K Shodai Wakamotoharu Kotonowaka 1-5 Tamawashi Sadanoumi Midorifuji 6-10 Hokutofuji Oho Onosho 11-16 Takarafuji Kotoeko Kotoshoho Observe my complete lack of preparedness and analysis. My gambarizing will be legendary. Or more likely, super crap.

bessantj posted:Also is this the best start to a pro sumo career? The dude who was at the losing end of that, Oki, had the opposite of a zensho Basho with his singular appearance as sekitori in 2020. Seems he was largely railroaded with a bunch of former makuuchi regulars, which sucks. I love sumo reference.

Bentai posted:I read that Okinoumi has elder stock, so he'll be kicking around the sumo world for quite a while to come. Not sure if he's going to open his own stable or what though. According to sumo reference, he is Kimigahama-oyakata.

Beeswax posted:Look I love the #1 hard-working salaryman of sumo, but he's been around for ages and should know better than to charge headlong at the wiliest, most mercenary man in the game. Takarafuji also was in the same heya as Aminishiki, the former king of henkas. Ajigawa-oyakata would've been shaking his head.

Apraxin posted:yeah that's the same ones, looks like they were originally a gachapon-style lucky dip, but that link has the full set. also while looking them up i found the official captions for what each figure is meant to be and lol At least its being polite and saying 'gaikoku', though I'm not sure what the middle kanji is. Its probably supposed to be Aoiyama, but you can't see the cat-jugs under the fur.

In apropos of nothing, just wishing someone made rikishi figurines in that heavy rubber the 80's WWF figurines were made from. It would be the perfect medium for it.

Would it be worse realising you have really great hair after 20 years with a mage through your 20's or realising that you have crap hair and that the mage was doing you favours. (Shohozan has great hair, btw.)

QuasiQuack posted:Hell yeah Kotoeko! Great to see he's popular. I know that heavier is generally better, but the guys about the 140kg are often the best mix of ripped and roly-poly. Asashoryu was 145 or so, from memory. Sadly, Kotoeko's rise coincided with Kotoshohiku's decline. Kotoeko was his tsukebito til he made juryo.

If its worth doing, then its worth doing adequately. Other than Takakeisho, I have selected only the most adequate of rikishi. Y/O: Takakeisho S/K: Daiesho Wakamotoharu Tobizaru M1-5: SHODAI Mita-chan Nishikigi M6-10: Sadanoumi Boobs Endo M11+: Takarafuji Kagayaki Myogiryu

Lexorin posted:Those are the Brown Coats, they watch sumo for the love of the sport and not for any one Rikishi. Here is some more info I stole from reddit: To add a bit to this regards their seating positions, the name translates (roughly) as East-West Society, which is why they only sit behind the rikishi on the east and west sides of the dohyo.

Imagining drunk Americans haranguing the sekitori as they leave the kokugikan after their bouts. "You SUCK, Shodai!" Could also be drunk Australians and gyoji which probably gets more disrespectful. "Wipe the poo poo out of your eyes, Kimura!" (Based on actual footy heckling witnessed as a child.)

Marching Powder posted:youtube recommending the greatest sumo match of all time was always going to get my click but holy loving poo poo this tachiai. dead serious i can count on one hand the number of active rikishi who might not go flying into the sixth row on impact, let alone make it competitive. Back when Kotoshogiku was hot poo poo after winning his yusho, some sports scientist types wired him up to measure the forces involved with his tachiai. I'll have to have a dig to find the article, but needless to say, they were pretty insane. I'm surprised more rikishi aren't exploding into bloody mist.
