Great video Kinta, you are equally at ease with mischievous humour or calm and educational style, brilliant. :-)

[Akinomaki 41,739]

I hoped for a comment on Ōsunaarashi's first makuuchi matta.

I always comment on mattas but today I skipped most of them as i was busy trying to be very serious and commentatorish.. He will have more mattas and i promise will comment on them.

Day 2:

[Morty 1,518]

I too like Kotoyuki, have done since I first saw him. Hopefully, given his young age, there is still a lot of improvement in him.

Endo thinks he needs 2, 3 days more to get his full sumo sense back.

[Mukonoso 273]

Urutora's match looked a bit silly. If I didn't know better he looked like he actually was posing and fighting as Ultraman vs kaiju.

Ōsunaarashi got 3 kensho for his first makuuchi win. He wants more (of both).

Day 3: (Tomorrow will be very late..)

[Bugman 384]

I'm trying to think of another sport where i see people injured so regularly, injury really is an ever present shadow over Sumo isn't it, i don't know if i'm just feeling despondent or if it's because i'm now close to entering my third year of watching and i'm noticing it more, i don't know.

Thank you very much for the video Kinta.

Hockey. Man-games lost is a regularly-reported team stat.

Endo really should have withdrawn. He hasn't looked very good. I really don't know whether he'll piece together 4 wins before aggravating his injury further.

Does anybody have Koike’s and Musashikuni’s day 4 bouts on vid?

Edited November 13, 2013 by ALAKTORN

[Akinomaki 41,739]

Asashosakari has filled in the videos from the remaining day 4 bouts on sumo reference - those videos seem to have a better quality than the rest.

Musashikuni

(one of many videos from) Paul on NHK

Masses of articles with pics of course today - many under society, entertainment etc., but also on the sumo news.
He let Hakuho wait after the dohyo-iri in front of the shitaku-beya with his tsuna on, after 5~10 min. Hakuho gave up on the planned photo shoot - favorite song of course: Let it be

Day 6:

[Bugman 384]

Was funny when Endo got behind Kaisei, i thought it was over but when he tackled him from behind there was no movement at all from kaisei, he just stood rooted to the spot regardless of direction, thank you you Kinta.

It also stuck out to me that Endo seemed to generate almost no pushing power at all from his legs. Must be the injury...

[Benevolance 2,534]

This new Kisenosato is impressing me.

Kinta forgot to include the first part of chiyotairyu's interview. It actual translation went something like, " There is no way to reach komusubi from my position on the banzuke right? Then I'm amazed how well I'm doing in spite of the eye problems."

[Newfan 1]

Cant believe the top 3 from the Sadogatake stable are now all injured!

Hope its not too serious for Kotoyuki!

Thanks for the vids Kinta.
