Enjoying live Jinku, Shokkiri to follow before Makuuchi matches.

Pity that it is not the Taka twins. Taunts of Yaocho.

I have a feeling that everything was settled with Jan-ken-pon back in the dressing room. 

 

Can one of the moderators shift this to the Ozumo Discussion sub-forum?

Not as intense, same could be said of the Makuuchi.

Terunofuji-Gagamaru had the softest tachiai I ever heard. That said, it gives the underdog opportunities to try out stuff/hone their skills against the veterans.
