Thank you Randomitsuki and Pandaazuma for the praises and congratulations to the gamers, the top 10 to 25 is stacked, makes me think the next championship is up for grabs. I tried my best the whole year but didn't manage to close out the year as strong as i wanted. Still have a lot to prove though, i'm ready and turned up for the start of next race so see you in january.

Getting the win against Taka on the fifth lowest ranked winning rikishi definetly had me doing some fist bumps too.

That Chiyonokuni scream was so unexpected, in the final push he yelled "ORA!" from the top of his lungs.

Silly me

Why is no one screaming "yosho" while Terunofuji performs the dohyo iri?

It's a member introduction from 2004 though. I was looking for a brazilian gamer and brought the thread back up. Although i do like that you take the time to salute every new member and make them feel welcome.

Can we start talking about Oho?

Damn it, at least i found out who was the other brazilian sumo gamer, guess i'm the first then.

Terunofuji's dohyo iri is getting better, his leg raise and stomp is becoming more poweerrful and beautiful day after day. I'm not concerned about the stress of it on his knees no more, if it happens, god forbid, it won't be because of the dohyo iri.

I still hope Chiyonokuni lights his fire, i love his spirit and will always cheer for him.

Don't believe him, he jinxed me in nagoya...

Last november, son and nephew delivered a bout as close as the one above, almost as if they were trying to recreate it but no monoii was called.

In this classic bout a monoii was called, a torinaoshi then ensued with the reason for the call being the kabaite rule, which is when a rikishi is shinitai and the upper man is going down on top of him, so he puts his hand down to break the fall. See for yourselves if that was the case here.

Only after seeing the replay we all saw Endo won, but they didn't even feel the need for a replay. Same against Tamawashi and some other bouts in past basho's. I'm no conspiracy freak but "they" seem picky when it comes to monoii calls with the nephew.

I guess Hoshoryu will never get a monoii.

I thought my 22 was more than enough, pretty much everyone had a good read on yesterday.

I only get my hopes up after day 10, and even at that point i try to not overreact to high placements.

Mitakeumi is no choker, he is an early starter who sometimes runs out of steam. He looks to be at his heaviest, i want to see how he performs in the second week.

I remember Ebisu beer from watching Gaki no Tsukai years back, these random curiosities get stuck in my memory.

Exciting start for the basho and the games, let's do it boys.

Mitakeumi looking very big, i dont think i ever saw him this big. Hoshoryu also looking to be at his heaviest, i hope he makes uncle proud. Is that Nishikifuji with Terunofuji?

Usually i don't play GTB but when i do it's a last minute entry thinking "screw it" because i forgot about Asanoyama after finishing the banzuke with 41 rikishi, so i placed him in the middle and bumped everyone down one slot.

I didn't think that would be the last i saw of Hakuho on the dohyo, he went out unmatched in every aspect, spirit burning as ever on that final roar.

Actually didn't do that bad , 10-5 in Bench at M4 was the sweetest along with the CG yusho(felt weird to yusho mid basho though). Also managed to secure some sanyaku spots and a few KK's, overall i can't complain. Still aiming higher, see ya'll in Kyushu.

I'm in Brazil 12 hours ahead of japan trust me bro.
