Oho goes 15-0, each time spouting his new catch phrase "Oh-HOH!?" to turn the tables mid-bout.

I admired him more than I was a fan of his actual sumo, which seems to be a common feeling here. Just look at his sumo upbringing. An oni dad -> Saitama Sakae -> Takanohana-beya. That's how a 170-something tall guy with slightly stumpy arms makes Ozeki at 22.

Well not anymore, no.

Crazy to see that Oitekaze had zero sekitori back then.

Glad to see Bariki can bend over slightly.

Curious who this final opponent is going to be. This could be a really far-fetched guess but... Kiyoseumi?

I've always had a bad feeling the guy's going to become Daikiho #2, I don't need yet another ominous sign.

Still not used to this.

Fighter to the end As good a time as any to repost this wonderful talk he gave

I sense a Takakeisho henka in the coming days.

He really didn't strike me as an oyakata type, so I'm not surprised. Re-bleach the hair, maybe.

Greatest since Tagonoura at least.

Not sure I've ever wanted to click on anything less in my life.

Nishikigi's earlier golden run towards the joi (2019-ish) happened around the time of his marriage, I remember.

Hakuoho's former shoulder decides to compete in his absence. It does pretty well and leads the pack at the midway point, but injures itself more severely after trying to throw hefty Kotonowaka without stable footing.
