Ahhh, that might explain his slipping issues in Nagoya .

If that were the case, he (Asanoyama) would have gone 7-0 and be on the next boat to Juryo

He’s never been the same since, but at least he put up Solid Ozeki numbers this basho. Please take note Shodai and Mitakeumi.

Congrats to Tamawashi, Takayasu, please seek professional help.

Hopefully Takayasu doesn’t have a flashback to the match against Tamawashi where he injured his elbow. The look on his face after Wakatakakage lost, looked like fear and confusion. I'm rooting for him tomorrow regardless.

Until he seriously injures someone , he will continue, that’s what bullies do. In the military he would have received a blanket party for his actions.

Yes, Henkas are cheap wins , i would agree , it was on Hokutofuji to be ready for anything, especially being the Yusho leader.

It was a thing of beauty, Hokutofujis expression was priceless, like someone had stolen his favorite toy.

Yes, his freestyle wrestling skills shining through, I believe that would be a 4 point throw.

Great decision by Teru.

Not retire just yet, take a couple basho off and see who rises to the occasion, see what kind of results he gets, if favorable let him take every other basho off. We know he’s earned at least that. Its a win win imo, but im just an armchair quarterback.

This was a great first day compared to Nagoya, the daigeiko and Junygo (pardon my spelling) sessions have definitely paid dividends on the quality of Sumo. Shodai , Takayasu playoff for the Yusho forthcoming.

We have to be careful with the finger crossing, too many and superstition creeps in, of course I just stepped on a sidewalk crack, so I ruined that, seriously I really hope this is Takayasu's Basho, he's had enough bad luck.

Fingers crossed this is Takayasu's breakout basho , he's working hard, now let's see some results.

Kintamayama Thank you for posting your videos, my wife and I love Font day, the people that give you hate aren't really Sumo fans(imo), please continue, the sumo world would be an empty place without your contributions. When we show people sumo, your our go to YouTube channel, Hakkeyoi I loved it when Murray called slippiotoshi and giving you a name drop, priceless.
