Can't seem to find the edit button anymore, is it a glitch or am I going blind? XD

Never heard of such a rule before, but I'm happy to learn :)

I've been watching your videos since 2013 and like them exactly the way they are, they're a big part why I always look forward to the next basho. I love font day, your jokes and wordplay and of course all the info you give to us. When I started watching on a whim back then, I knew next to nothing about sumo and boy, has that changed (I still have A LOT to learn compared to many other people here, of course). If I can, I catch at least part of a livestream in the morning, but I always watch your video later in the day. Tried Natto's channel, wasn't for me. So, yes, please don't change a thing and just ignore the trolls :)

He frequently does. :P

Oh good, I'm not alone then! Seriously. Every time.

Has there ever been an Ōzeki who cleared his kadoban status with a yūshō AND won a yūshō in the next basho as well? I'm genuinely curious and apologize in advance for being to stupid to work the database properly That aside, I'm quite happy for Takakeishō being able to dodge kadoban. Hopefully he wasn't injured too badly. Shame that we didn't get a nice Makuuchi play-off. Good for Terunofuji, though. EDIT: I remember Gōeidō clearing kadoban with his yūshō and I think back then there was talk of whether he'd be promoted if he'd get a second yūshō. He never did.

I'm perfectly fine with the henka + leg grab Ura did today, although I usually frown upon henkas. It was swift and effective. Had it been Terutsuyoshi, I would've felt the same. OTOH I'm not an Enho fan at all. I'll leave it at that ;)

Yes! Finally. I'm happy to see this announcement :)

Oh my goddd... I'm "LGBT" myself and I'm so fed up by this hype IMO identity should be a personal and private matter, not subject to the mainstream's virtue signalling and sensationalism. And don't get me started on that article by John Gunning - androids and avatars in the ring, yeah sure. What the hell. I vote for closing this thread as well.

Back to topic?

I'm going to root even harder for Terunofuji tomorrow to win after this level of BS from Hakuho. Sincerely hope he'll get promoted, he really earned it and it'd put the cherry on top of his epic comeback.

Say, is that Gagamaru as a guest commentator on the Abema live stream? He slimmed down a LOT. Looking good!

Let's not forget: Enho is a grown man and willing participant in a combat sport. If anything, he should be cheered on, not pitied. (Although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entertained by watching him being slapped around :P ;))

The palmar grasp reflex is found in infants, not in healthy adults. "Sometimes the palmar reflex reappears in adults. This can occur after an ischemic stroke (a lack of blood flow to the brain) or a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain). Both of these destroy brain cells. When the brain is damaged, the palmar reflex may return." Source: https://www.healthline.com/health/baby/grasp-reflex

I'm sorry, but isn't the last part of this quote uncalled for?
