Hakuryuho

So what you're saying is Tamawashi's the next Yokozuna?

How dare you think Shodai will be 2-13 after this basho... He'll be entering uncharted territory and go 1-14 like the record setter he is!

Flaming hot (?) take: I think he'll be the 74th Yokozuna.

Only just now got around to watching today''s bouts, of course my girlfriend wanted to brunch on senshuraku Couldn't be happier for Ichinojo, I just know the celebratory feast will be legendary

No matter if he wins or loses, Hoshoryu's Sumo is just a delight to watch. All this talk about Wakatakakage's Ozeki run, but Hoshoryu might lowkey be starting one with another win tomorrow. He's got progressively better with each basho and this is his third basho in a row where he has KK'd as a member of the san'yaku. In fact, he's only ever KK'd in the san'yaku ranks, which is quite promising. I don't think it's too far fetched to call him a possible future Ozeki, the way he fights and behaves in general makes me think he's poised for greater things than just junior san'yaku. I probably jinxed him for life now though

I think the best way to describe Kinbozan's current Sumo is that it looks like the Sumo of someone who was a san'yaku mainstay and dropped down to the unpaid ranks because of injury/suspension and reaching the 2nd division is only a formality on the way back to their old rank. He looks that much in control and that much out of place in makushita. I'm definitely going to continue rooting for him as a sekitori.

Green macaron for me please

It felt like no one really wanted to win the Cup. Peculiar basho.

Awesome, my second Game 21 Yusho! Many thanks to Tameiki and Profomisakari, you are doing an outstanding job. See you all in July!

*Mitakeumi but I completely agree

He probably does, must be so annoying for Hoshoryu; getting your KK twice at Komusubi and not attaining promotion to the next tier

Kotonowaka casually winning against all three Ozeki in the first three days. Is it too early to already address him as Kotozakura?

Well this aged like milk
