The entire lineup for next basho is going to be shook up like a mother fucker with a lot of people catching a makekoshi all over the rankings. Meanwhile all three Yokozuna looked real good, and Hakuho is still the greatest of all time

I feel like this will be a huge basho in that the entire top half of the rankings will be completely changed. I also feel like this will be the one that ends the Kisenosato to Yokozuna and we start talking about Okinoumi instead.

Fryhtaning posted:I don't know about that, since Giku and Goeido look like they should squeak through their 8 or 9 to hold on to their ranks. But we could have 2 or 3 legitimate Ozeki contenders all of a sudden, where there were none before. I honestly don't think Goeido is going to make it. He has put on decent matches so far but he looks so broken down. How old is he now? It might not ever happen, but Okinoumi is handling his business pretty well so far. It might be my hype talking, but that match today showed some flashes of greatness that has been missing from him over the last couple of years. All it takes is the GOAT being injured to shake some things up and that gets me excited.

I take back what I said about Goeido, he looked much better today. Oki is still doing work. If he keeps it up he definitely will get Ozeki

Some people just have an a need to not enjoy things (despite obsessively following it) and like coming up for reasons to hate it. Which is fine, but can turn into a circle jerk of hate like in this case. It's absurd.

Halloween Jack posted:On of the things I enjoy most about sumo is the historical aspect. For example, the audience is always a survey of fashion trends across a 90-year period. My favorite costume is the ultra patriotic old man costume with All Japan everything followed closely by salary man minus the tie, casual Friday look.

pseudodragon posted:What would be funnier, Kise sweeping the Yoks and going 13-2 but finishing second to 14-1 Kakuryu who he beat head to head, or 14-1 Ishiura who beat nobody? Ishiura is going to leap into the middle of the pack for next basho, and I am pretty sure he pleased with his performance (and facial hair).

http://www.sumo.or.jp/EnSumoDataRikishi/profile?id=3442 Happy to see our boy sliding on up the rankings. If he can win some matches in that spot, I see him moving into the Endo portion of the banzuke next basho. He is unreal body wise. Dude is hella muscles for a rikishi.

I wonder he is pretty lightweight but he showed some pretty good speed and power last time out. I still think he can pull 8 wins on that alone.

It is so nice to see Hakuhou has his swagger back. Ishiura is not losing because he is undersized, he is just getting out positioned and outworked, today especially

Day 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbzCieY6wQM Kisenosato looks like he did when he was going for Yokozuna at the beginning of 2016 instead of whatever that was at the end of the year. How can someone be Gagamaru's size and get tossed around like he's filled with air? I hope he goes back down to Juyro because his matches are awful to watch.

Rigel posted:Harumafuji has withdrawn. Ikioi will get a walkover victory. I assume that will not count as a kinboshi or be anything to consider for prizes. One Yokozuna out and the other one looking near retirement means this one is Hakuhou's to lose, with Kisenosato chasing. Walkovers don't count for prizes, as far as I know.

Fryhtaning posted:What's with all the near retirement talk about Kak lately? He's been a great Yokozuna and just came off a dominating yusho. Sucks about Harumafuji - that was a great win yesterday. There are rumors that he is being pressured to retire if he doesn't start having better matches. Kise blew a great opportunity when Hak was out with injury. Now he is just going to have to be straight up better. Shiroc posted:How does it work for a yokozuna when they have to sit out due to injury? Do they get a pass on it if they can come back and win next tournament? If they had to miss two would they start getting pressured to retire immediately? Depends on severity of injury. Hakuho sat out recently due to injury and it was no big whoop. If you start missing 2 or 3 in a row, they will pressure you to retire. If you start losing a lot they will too.

I wanna say someone got knocked out two bashos ago but they didnt have to be stretchered off

Ichinojo is competitive when he isn't hurt, so he isn't going to be a walkover for Kise. Don't know enough about Takanoiwa though

With the way both other Yokos were performing, surely he would have beaten them, so I would hope if he beats Hakuho straight up and wins the whole thing, they would promote him.

Takekaze ended up with ten wins, and looking spry despite being the oldest rikishi. If I were him, I would give it one more basho and then hang it up going out on a high note.

The middle of the pack is stacked with some dudes that have floated around the m1 and higher positions in the past. There's some real parity below ozeki and then just a huge gap above that.
