I've seen a whole bingo card of his favourite bits somewhere on the internet. Something like this:

That drone can be a menace, it almost won the yusho in my debut basho.

Let's not get carried away...

Not a single scratch or a bloody nose or a post-bout limp. This was 100% exhibition sumo.

I don't consider myself technologically illiterate, but I had to use VPN exactly once in my life, and that was to prove to a manager that a certain webpage wasn't fully accessible by customers located outside a certain country. So, VPN might not be a casual everyday tool for many of us after all.

This is like saying "there is no need to unlock this gate, we have a good ladder we can use to climb over the wall every time we want to get to the other side." You see, many people still prefer to walk through a gate.

I don't know if we got an official explanation of the designs.

This was like any exhibition sports show, just a glorified jungyo. However, there would be less negative feedback if they didn't try to sell it as an "official Grand Sumo Tournament" and Hiro didn't keep insisting on it being real while it was clearly scripted puroresu-style.

They were actually scripted throughout, remember the look of horror on Kinbozan's face when Tamawashi slipped and lost to him?

They are wheels.

How would you want them to advertise this - "For the first time in 30 years...Fake sumo tournament! Don't miss your chance to witness huge half-naked men without any acting talent pretending to fight to entertain you!" ? Every advertisement lies one way or another, that is the only way to sell things. On the other hand, you only need to ask one question if you are trying to predict how "real" a "basho" is going to be: Will it affect the next babzuke? If the answer is "no", you can bet your house on it being scripted.

He is burdened by the weight of Yokozuna wisdom.

I thought the other one was easy...

Jungyo?! How dare you? It's an official basho!

Hoshoryu will defeat Onosato in the final bout. That's all she wrote. (c)
