>I have understood the core of my appreciation for sumo. It is not the athletics, nor is it the tradition. No, it is the sheer beauty of seeing how it is possible to sculpt the human body and turn it into an elegant and graceful object in the dohyo. Loading the rikishi up with chanko and rice to increase their mass, and then carefully working the human form into such a thing. And to then see the retired elders shed all of those pounds like tears in rain and assume a "normal" figure once again as if it had all never happened. It is sublime, to witness such control over the physicality of the great ape. Only a fool would dismiss them as merely fat. Yes, this is the essence of what gives sumo its mysticism.

Holy shit even youtube's AI generated subtitles are in on the Horseryu meme

JSA is setting up the narrative where Horseshoe gets a career ending meniscus tear later this year if he can't yusho, if he can (he can't) then after he does he will take 6 or more months off to heal his knee

It is fairly surprising that Aminishki hasn't coached Dan into using henka against guys like Kinbozan, Onosato & Yoshinofuji who have strong fast aggressively forward moving attacks.
If Dan henkas Yoshinofuji on day two then Yoshinofuji will think twice before going in at full force the next time they fight. Even if Dan loses he will eventually reap the reward of henkaing

The new Chris mini-documentary on the Takanohana rebellion mentions Aminishiki's role loaning his kabu to one of the traitors. I wonder if they still hold that against him even though its almost two decades ago already

Isn't it possible for there to be a double Yokozuna promotion? Like in one basho, one ozeki gets strong JY and and the other gets a strong Y and then in the next basho the results are reversed. Has there been a double Yokozuna promotion before?

Has the ydc said anything about the Aonishiki’s run?

Musashimaru also never pulled in the top talent, it seems that being a yokozuna doesn't go far in terms of recruiting if they aren't also Japanese

For about five months after his retirement until he secured the Isegahama stock.

What percentage of sekitori end up owning a kabu?

>>254519
Yokozuna get temp status.

>>254519
Yokozuna and ozeki both get grace periods (5 and 3 years respectively) where they can act as an oyakata under their ring name, before they're required to get permanent stock.

>>254525
I assume ozeki don't have to retire at the rank for this?

>>254529
Correct. Kotooshu retired at sekiwake and had the 3-year grace period before getting Naruto kabu just under a year later. That said, him and Tochiazuma are the only ozeki who have had to use this grace period since it was introduced.

>>254530
How did Takakeisho not have to use it?

>>254531
He got the Minatogawa stock.

>>254531
He bought Minatogawa coin.

>>254531
The previous Mintaogawa retired so his stock could be promised to Takakeisho when Keisho got demoted the last time. When it was obvious he wouldn't be able to make 10 at sekiwake for the re-promotion, he retired and was formally granted the stock.

More than zero, but not enough that he wouldn't make yokozuna without them. The vast majority of match fixing is the "let my guy get his kachikoshi this basho and he'll return the favour next basho" kind. Even yakuza match fixing was spread across the banzuke to avoid suspicious results, instead of forcing one or a small number of guys.

This would also explain why Hosh is so dogshit against Dan. Hosh uses glasses and I've read somewhere that he doesn't use contacts when he fights. Dan's white skin is so pale that the light that gets reflected off Dan's skin blinds Hosh to the point where he can't see when they fight. Think about it, in All Stables practice, Hosh got a winning record against Dan and the lighting there was shit.

Also, if you don't move forward you may decide to pull and that's a biiiig mistake, the opponent will get right in your kitchen and you'll have no answer, that'll be all she wrote.

The biggest mistake amateur sumo make is in the tachiai. You're supposed to basically fall forwards while driving. That's why henkas are so effective even at the top level; falling forwards means you're fully commit. Most guys just stand up then walk forwards and push in amateur sumo. Don't do that.

>>254656
>You're supposed to basically fall forwards while driving. That's why henkas are so effective even at the top level; falling forwards means you're fully commit.
>Most guys just stand up then walk forwards and push in amateur sumo.
Chances are the former is what causes the latter.

>>254657
What, fear of being henka'd? Fuck off lmao, most amateur guys just don't know how to tachiai in the first place.

>>254658
If henkas are so effective then they're going to train to avoid henkas, yes. They don't have crotchety old elders, commentators, and journalists telling them to go harder at the tachi-ai because it's more honorabu, amateur sumo doesn't give a fuck about anything except wins, so they train to avoid the easiest ways to lose. Amateur tournaments are also knockout, which means a single loss fucks you for the entire thing.

>>254659
They don't train, shut the fuck up. Dan lost to a WTK henka. Are you going to tell me Dan is worse than an amateur fatso? Go away.

>>254659
>If henkas are so effective then they're going to train to avoid henkas, yes
Henkas are effective in pro sumo, less so in amateur sumo because there's no wrestler decided synchronous start in amasumo.

>>254661
>there's no wrestler decided synchronous start in amasumo.
Wait, what?

>>254664
Once both touch their fists to the ground, the referee is the one who calls for the bout to start.

>>254664
Because there are no weight divisions they let smaller wrestlers get a head start

>>254664
That's why you see to many former college wrestlers pull a bunch of stalling bullshit at the tachiai.
