Abi would have to be promoted to Ozeki before getting to Yokozuna - so he wouldn't get that promotion if he wins this one. Takakeisho could get promoted, since he lost in the playoff last tournament, but I think that I recall some rumblings that he'd need to have a very good performance to get the promotion, and not just a 12-3 yusho sort of thing?

Beeswax posted:Respect Hokutofuji, greatest pre-tachiai moves in the biz. From the big pat-down to the deep breath (pictured) to the foot planting to the weight-shifting idle-animation squat Hokutofuji driving his feet into the dohyo before the tachiai is one of my absolute favorite sumo moves.

Brut posted:It's always Sunday. In this case it is Sunday the 26th. (Japan time) To add on, the first days for each basho are the second Sundays in January, March, May, July, September, and November, and they run for 15 days, finishing on a Sunday.

Buttchocks posted:"It's ok to have constant career-threatening injuries as long as somebody wins the cup. You see, there's no need to reform the system." They really did come up with an impressively bad statement about this.

It is going to be an absolute sumo miracle if my guys can turn this around in the second half!

Apraxin posted:combining henka chat with 'videos of old bouts are hard to find', here's mainoumi pulling off a hassoutobi, which i don't think i've seen anyone seriously attempt in the past decade or more (whole vid is pretty great) This is pretty great - thanks for sharing it. The bout starting at about 2:02 in this has the most 'footwork' I think I've ever seen.

What an amazing finish. I'm so glad that I was able to watch a basho again. I could sorta see _____Ura_____ setting something up but I didn't expect it to be that rare. I'm also glad that Wakatakakage seems to be on his way back finally.

I'd like to request a trade of Terunofuji for Hoshoryu, or whoever if that doesn't pan out. I'd trade some of my other guys if it wasn't just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. I think next tournament I'll make all of my picks and then go back and pick a completely different roster.

That was a fun basho. Rare kimarite and authoritative throws are my favorite things in sumo and I feel like we've been getting a lot of those lately.
