Hakuhou looks like a normal Yokozuna now

The only one I remember (in the last decade) was that weird matta call by Hakuhou. Nobody listened him.

Ouch. This an eventful basho for sure! But contrary to most I don't think that the "new gen" are good enough. I think we'll have some time of really mediocre sumo, with many sumotori in spotlight before any really good one. There's a lot of 26 and 27y old sekitoru that aren't that good (nor that bad) in the upper ranks. A really good one would be Ozeki/Yokozuna by 21-24y old

Kaisei always was underrated - he have a very good sumo and is the gentliest of sumotori He has some trouble getting a KK as M1, but he get a KK as Komusubi, not a small feat. I really like the Big Guy

Hakuho's Zenshō-Yūshōs are now even with Wajima's Yushos in the 7th place of "Most Yushos"

Congrats Kaisei! A well deserved sanyaku spot again! Next time please fall a couple Yok, ok? :D

Make it two - there's a Intai coming. I won't tell from whom

I think you didn't get sumo - "sport". No no.

That's a nice one!

It's over, we all know that. And it's over for more than a year. Thanks for all the fish, Kise!

Definitively not Brazilian - a Spanish comedian in fact

Kaisei, that nice brazilian fellow - the nicest in sumo by far - is a M3 to K at his best. And that's not a demerit, he should always be proud of his S status (that he get after a KK as Komosubi)
