I hope we see Kiribayama next basho. This Kirishima dude ain't all that.

Aonishiki keeps on murdering the lower divisions. He is 20-0. Oonosato seems to be the Hokuseiho we all wanted. Huge, powerful and really agile for his size. He will go far, Ozeki in a few years. Possibly a Yokozuna in a couple more (at least before he hits 30). Then there is The Demon Beast, or Takerufuji. Which demon or yokai did he sell is soul to? This man has to be stopped. How far will he go? Who the hell knows, or the hell knows.

People putting both arms under Terunofuji's armpits has the same energy as a child who has touched the fire once and been burned, then touches the fire again to see if it is still hot.

Yup. Wakatakakage has them stealth hands.

Ura pulling out the magic tricks again. I swear, every damn basho he either tries to or actually pulls off something awesome.

To be perfectly honest: Hakuho was actually trying to lose today, just so that he could give Terunofuji the good ol' Henkaryuu special and double Henka him, first in regulation and in the following play-off... Kisenosato v. Henkaryuu flashbacks intensify.

I honestly think that was just Hakuho giving some smelling salts to Shodai with those slaps. '''See, you can't even beat a guy who doesn't tachiai. Time to learn the entire sumo dictionary again, from alphabets, basics of the basics.'' Anyways. Will Terunofuji remain Terunofuji when he is given the rope? Glad to see him get it...since he always was gonna get it before the...delay...

Guy has kept his promise to win a Yusho from each division to Sekitorihood. Now he needs two more scalps to make it 6/6.

Man, he really did it. A Sekitori in one year, even with the sit-out due to Corona regulations. Let's see if he will manage his other goal: Win a Yusho in each division.

Hakuho's face really says it all at the end: ''Did you guys see that shit? Crazy stuff man.'' He was almost certain that he lost when his back was taken. Seeing him again is such a riot.

Gotta say: This is some weird shit... ...it is like the people ringside actually took Takakeisho's injury seriously or some shit...imagine my surprise they didn't let him die on the ringside. Weird times. Enho not being asked to be a superhuman and not letting him continue might be even weirder.

Oof, that's gruesome by Ura. I guess since Enho is a smaller guy, and Ura as a brilliant technique rikishi can beat him in technique or just purely outmuscle him. Two really solid wins by Ura over Enho these past few tournaments. Good for him. But the main topic: Are we really gonna see Terunofuji do the fabled double promotion from Ozeki to Yokozuna in a back-to-back basho? Bonus: Ichinojo didn't quit for some reason as he usually does. Weird seeing him win a long bout.

If Takakeisho wins tomorrow 14-1...YDC wouldn't promote him, would they?

Do I see Hakuho grooming this Hokuseiho kid to be his successor or something? 21-0 and triple Yusho in a row. No problem at all, barely an inconvenience.

I am sorry Takakeishou, but if your shoulder spasm daily I would think you are, in fact, not OK.
