Kintamayama 47,179 Posted November 18, 2014 Day 10 - really bad video like the old days and it will not get better, regretfully. At least you can see who won..Great bouts today. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shitamachi 21 Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks as always Kintamayama! Was it just me, or did the bouts seem super genki today? It was almost as if the video was 1.5x or maybe all the rikishi just had espresso before their bouts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asameshimae 220 Posted November 18, 2014 Yes, the video was definitely sped up a bit, but at least I got through it faster. I was told I had to see the Tairyu/Sokokurai bout. I see why now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doitsuyama 1,259 Posted November 18, 2014 KOALA'S AREN'T BEARS!!!!!!!!!!! Koala's what? Something is missing here... if you mean the Koala's teddy it surely is a bear, or? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronnie 221 Posted November 18, 2014 KOALA'S AREN'T BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!Koala's what? Something is missing here... if you mean the Koala's teddy it surely is a bear, or? Well since the 's isn't an abbreviated "is", then there isn't anything missing. A leaf eating marsupial with an omnivorous mammal would look quite odd though!

Morty 1,518 Posted November 18, 2014 As an Australian I can categorically say that although the Koala is definitely a marsupial, it is also a bear. Particularly when they drop out of trees and savage American tourists. (Note - this is an inside Australian joke that only some people will get) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hakuhonofan 334 Posted November 19, 2014 Sorry for the horrid clip but Hakuho (even more so than ever) seems like he's really not messing around. Seriously into this honbasho. Do I sense an assertive "outta my territory NOW" shove at the end? Gotta love this strange passion I know I'm biased, but I think he acted as usual. There's a lot of pressure this basho. He's in his way to breaking Taiho's record. And, he was defeated by Goeido three times in a row--which only happened with Kisenosato ( started after KS broke his run to break Futabayama's most winning record?), so surely he wanted to break that. I thought the reason he was more intense these days was because he's been amplifying his fighting spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
