I’m in, of course! Now that I’m kadoban, I must get my 8 wins in May! Please sign up my friends Chanko Thief and Kaminariyuki as well. Thanks!

OMG, I’m DOOMED! Rather than wear the rope, I fear it will be transformed into a noose!

Hellooooooo everyone! I am in as well as my friends Kaminariyuki and Chanko Thief! Thanks to Kinbozan, I am a Tsunatori this basho. I have been so lucky in this game. Prior to Kinbozan, I drew Chiyoshoma of whom I didn’t expect much, but he did amazingly well. And Kinbozan was on fire. So happy for them. Good luck to everyone for the March basho. May you all get good draws!

Hmmmmm. Why did Karasukurai end his association with Hokutofuji?

Thank you for the unexpected promotion to Ozeki. I will aim to rise above the clouds. I will endeavor to beat the crap out of my opponents, always with honor. I will try not to bring disgrace to the title of Ozeki, whether that be the torturing of the juniors, hitting or hitting on the Okamisan, or my favorite, patronizing dens of iniquity. And lastly, I aim to avoid making a career out of being kadoban, unlike certain other Ozeki who shall remain nameless. I’m going to cut my promotion acceptance speech short because having to hunker down on this hard floor in this ridiculous position is about to kill me! Arigato gozaimashita! Banzai!!

I want to play again. In addition, my friends Kaminariyuki and Chanko Thief want to play, too.

My goodness, I didn’t know Ozumo was still accepting 15-year-olds.

Thank you! I must have been thinking of the guitar player, Steve Vai.
-
In please, and while you’re at it, please sign up my friends, Kaminariyuki and Chanko Thief. Thank you!

I could be wrong but if I recall correctly, that fish is known as “Vai” which also means “victory” in Japanese.

Yes! I am in!! I am thrilled to be in Sanyaku for the Aki basho. Hope my luck continues and I haven’t jinxed myself. I’d also like to sign up my friends Kaminariyuki and Chanko Thief again.

I am so excited to win my first Yusho!!! Big thanks to my partner Shirokuma, my favorite “Polar Bear”, without whom I could not have done it! Big thanks also to Nichinoseki Oyakata (ex-Kisenosato) for raising us to be champions! Special thanks to @Athenayama for the day-to-day operation of this game and to @Jejima for dreaming it up! Whew!! Winning the Yusho is hard work. Shirokuma and I are exhausted! Time to sit down and throw back some sake to celebrate! Thanks everyone for playing.

Instead of “Haha” to indicate you’re happy with your pick, why not ❤️? “Haha” to me indicates you’re laughing at who your pick is.
