Bugman 384 Posted January 17, 2013 Wily, wily Tokitenku, you never quite know what he's going to do, so charging full into him might not be the best idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted January 17, 2013 Wily, wily Tokitenku, you never quite know what he's going to do, so charging full into him might not be the best idea. and there are still so many rikishis who keep dashing past Tokitenku and straight outta the dohyo (Henka!!!) looks like the word about Kinta's and Araibira's video service hasn't spread into the heyas yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

igirisujin 3 Posted January 18, 2013 Miyabiyama - dude has just lost all heart. If he really has retirement in mind, it might be better to bail out now and quit; the thing is though, I think he's still in conflict about retirement and just doesn't have his head in the game while he's deciding. Aran - agreed Kintamayama, Aran is a lot better than we realised; I was one of his biggest critics but I have more time and respect for him now. We'll see if he keeps it up.

igirisujin 3 Posted January 19, 2013 It seems that Takanoyama, one of the crowd favourites and best entertainers, is not beyond blatant cheating to get the job done. I'll be honest, though I don't like it a part of me is applauding him for being ruthless in doing whatever he needs to do to get promoted again; mostly he'll try hard with sumo, but if he really needs to he'll unashamedly cheat.

Naganoyama 5,854 Posted January 19, 2013 Are you suggesting that he put some laxative into his opponents cha to encourage him to run faster? Otherwise I can't see what you mean by cheating. There's nothing illegal about a henka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mukonoso 273 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Everyone seems to begin by not liking the henka but gradually come to accept it as a acceptable technique for a rikishi lacking in girth. As others have said before, if the victim of a henka hasn't learned to expect it from an opponent who uses it regularly, then he isn't doing his job. Henka is an essential part of Takanoyama's "Tak Attack" arsenal along with the trips, arm bars and slap downs. Edited January 20, 2013 by Mukonoso 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What, no gabburi? Edit. Oh man. I hadn't watched the video yet. That was a work of art. Any rikishi as big as Chiyonokuni who comes out like that against Takanoyama has it coming. Didn't see why they called the rematch though -- I guess Chiyo stepped out while tossing Tak the first time, and the gyoji was in the way?

Bugman 384 Posted January 20, 2013 Harumafuji got out of Gaga's way with enough time to go make a coffee and come back again, his speed and awareness are amazing, as for Takanoyama i think he deserves a "best of" video, i've lost count of the exciting bouts he's had, also i wish Toyonoshima got a little more reward for his efforts, i think he's great.Thank you Kinta, much appreciated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mukonoso 273 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I'm pretty sure the crowd (and myself) greatly enjoy seeing Takanoyama make those amazing recoveries and reversals. I just wish he could do it more often to stay above juryo. It almost looked like he twisted his knee sideways at the last second to save himself today. I second the Takanoyama "best of" video compilation. Edited January 20, 2013 by Mukonoso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,798 Posted January 20, 2013 Not surprisingly Takanoyama won the popularity poll for juryo again today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koorifuu 886 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Did Takanoyama have that ugly bruise on his forehead yesterday?If not, I sense some madness from his oyakata towards the henka. Edited January 20, 2013 by Koorifuu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krindel 671 Posted January 20, 2013 Did Takanoyama have that ugly bruise on his forehead yesterday?If not, I sense some madness from his oyakata towards the henka. His oyakata or Kisenosato? The allegations that led to Takanosato's death involved both, and after said death, and the choice of such a lackluster successor I wouldn't bet on who's calling the shots at Naruto these days...

Urgh. I had no idea I'd hit a soft spot when I spoke out. I should be following the backstage / kabu news more deeply so that I prevent screwing over this bad ever again.
