Day 4: in Juryo, Enho had a great match today and Hokuseiho looked great. Does having a tall heavy dude lean on you really tire you out that much?

Day 4: Leaning on smaller opponents is a tried and true effective strategy in basically all heavyweight combat sports.

I cursed Tochi I am sorry to Tochicrew.

Trade him for Azumaryu or Kotoshoho

Alright guys, I gotta clear this in my head.

Abi wins this thing, he's yokozuna, correct? Back-to-back tournament wins being the criteria? Or is there another qualifier?

Taka wins this, we already know he's yokozuna because they've said so. So if that happens, and no one ends up in the 33 win range, does that mean no ozeki? That almost seems rarer than no yokozuna.

Please correct my absolute ignorance.

You have to win back to back (generally) as an ozeki (this part is not negotiable) to become yokozuna, so no, Abi would not become yokozuna.

The lesson here is that sumo goons love explaining how one becomes a yokozuna.

Day 12: Shodai!

And Takakeisho isn't getting that rope this basho. If he keeps up this level of performance for another basho, though, I think he gets it.


Day 12: If he keeps up this level of performance, he isn't getting it any time soon because if he can't put together decisive performances now, he probably won't when he has to compete with low maegashira Asanoyama and a hopefully recovered Terunofuji for two wins in a row.

Day 9: Ochiai getting kachi-koshi already is nuts.

In the spirit of sumo I am going to go kyujo intentionally this time since my rank will be preserved regardless. May this be a lesson to Kenning to never do something as dishonorable as choosing to have a wedding instead of running fantasy sumo again.

In all seriousness though, congrats Kenning!

There's fun stuff in Juryo it is worth the time to at least check the replays for Ochiai. We're going to see him in the top ranks very soon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8svJMFWEgCs&t=618s

If he gets to 13 wins he has an extremely strong chance of being promoted to the top division after only three bashos.

The current record for fastest from debut to top division is nine. Absolutely insane.

Brut posted:

I think that record is if they started from Maezumo, just off the top of my head Ichinojo debuted at MS15 Tsukedashi (like Ochai) and spent 2 Basho in Makushita and then 2 in Juryo before being promoted, and there's been others with similar experiences.

Oh, oops.

Still nuts, but not as nuts as I thought it was.

I imagine Kiribiyama has sealed up an Ozeki promotion, which is neat, and Wakamotoharu should be in decent position to give it a go next time. The logjam might be finally breaking somewhat.

Also OCHIAI!

Khizan posted:

One of my favorite sumo facts is that Terunofuji has had two successful ozeki pushes while having only spent five bashos competing in the lower sanyaku. Every basho he ever competed in as a komusubi or a sekiwake was part of a successful ozeki run. Not only that, every one of those five bashos was either a yusho or a jun-yusho.

Terunofuji is really good at sumo and it's a shame that his career has been so badly affected by injuries.

Terunofuji going from Ozeki to terrible injury to returning to Ozeki was one of the most impressive things I've seen in sports.

Then he added reaching Yokozuna and being dominant there when healthy to it.

In fact I'll go further and say it was a miscalculation for hakuho to do that now. He should have done it if the kid gets to ozeki like the new kiri.

I mean if Hakuho had his way the kid would have debuted with the name. That he held off for the top division took all the patience he had, and as we have seen his patience for sumo bullshit is infinite.

potentially odd sumo question: has anyone gone their whole career without going makekoshi? Obviously a full undefeated career is mathematically impossible, but beyond people who were only in the sport for about five minutes like Kototenzan I was wondering if anyone'd pulled it off

Shonanzakura had 3 wins over the course of a 7 year career.

We still have at least two Ozeki next basho, though who knows if Takakeisho actually shows up.

With how sumo is, unless Takakeisho or Kirishima are incapable of walking I would expect both to at least compete until their record is way underwater.

Terunofuji has only had 6 full basho as yokozuna and 8 where he was partially or fully absent. Kisenosato was 2 and 10. Sumo Association has to be pretty desperate to get one of the young healthy guys into the role and actually have their top guys participating.

I assume part of why some of them are so harsh on Takakeisho is that they desperately wanted a Japanese Yokozuna instead of the continued total Mongolian domination on top of wanting a healthy Yokozuna in general.
