What's the story on Ishiura? I've been impressed by him so far this basho and he looks jacked which is very cool.

Just echo-ing everyone else that the last bout loving rocked. What an interesting match that almost reminded me of like an mma match or something for a bit there

Hakuho reminds me of LeBron where he's just crazy strong and mobile for his giant size.

Is sumo a big draw at the University level like baseball or another major sport? I'm not familiar with how college sports and recruiting works in Japan.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Well, only Hakuho or Terunofuji can win the yusho now, they are both on 13-0 while the next one down (Tamawashi and Kotonowaka) is just at 10. Hoshoryu with big power hell yeah that was a good one. Also props to Ishiura for also getting another win.

As was mentioned before if it's similar to baseball hall of fame voters they will be mad at Hakuho until they die just like Pete Rose. Granted very different circumstances but it shows how long that type can hold a grudge.

With covid flaring up they trimmed out a lot from the ceremony and maybe that got cut. Maybe they'll have something for the closing ceremony though.

It's really illegal in Japan.  Weren't mushrooms only recently criminalized there though?E: If you get a drug charge and you're any kind of famous you get disappeared. There was one guy who got caught with cocaine who was a character in a game so they hired a new person and patched the offender out of the game.

Tobizaru and Terutsuyoshi bout took place below sea level with how low both of them were going. Excellent stuff from Kiribayama and Takayasu as well. Those guys were gassed at the end for sure.

Vargatron posted:I don't find Chris Sumo's coverage sensational or anything. I think he's using sources that the mainstream sumo media won't use and he's really advocated for accountability in the JSA for a lot of issues in the sumo world. His match day reviews are also really good, especially of developing wrestlers. Yeah his news round ups and match day episodes are good to watch. I don't watch any of his other videos though. I also like that he's been adding little b-roll of stuff around the arena and the area.  It's nice to see and makes me excited to go to a basho one day maybe hopefully please Japan let me back in

The Ura - Daieishou match was great sumo. Ura got a poster moment for sure. Also really thought Ichinojou was cooked right at the start. Kiribayama with a great match against Teru as well!

Scythe posted:It had to happen someday but… just one day after a basho he didn’t even play in? To be a little cynical, it's a good way to take the news cycle over. So now it can be, "Terunofuji won his first as a Yokozuna but Hakuho is retiring!" Is that the actual reason? We'll never know but it's one idea at least.

Martytoof posted:Watching old Kintamayama videos only makes me more thankful that we have Natto. Nothing against Kinta's videos -- he did god's work to give us the sumo content we otherwise couldn't get, but the production values we have access to now are nothing short of amazing. Watching a kintamayama video is like posting on a forum. Sure there's slicker ways to post but something about a low effort sumo vid is nice to me.
