Uraaaaa!! Well done lad!!

And Takakeisho, I still remember what you did to Ura, you carry youself ungainly and you do look like a certain baking stuff mascot, but you got skills and I respect you for that.

On the bright side, perhaps Kotoshogiku can get some more ad work in now that he has fewer responsibilities.

And NHK decided to cut off before the interview speech, so if someone gets a video of it, I'd love to see what he has to say, thanks.

He's injured right?? He might just have been faking and that horrible purple bruise is the masterpiece of a very skilled make-up artist!! (Laughing...)(Laughing...)

Kisenosato. You. Are. The.  MAN!

For those who  claimed he didn't deserve promotion, I believe that is BACK TO BACK Yusho. 14-1Y 13-2Y.

And those two wins came with an injury. Takanohana must feel proud.

Some incredible konjo, or guts, shown by Kise today. I think one of our members wrote this very ending just last night, but what an exciting show it was.

That was incredible. Hats off to yokozuna Kisenosato. Back-to-back!

I could just see Terunofuji's soul leave him there. He was completely crushed. I guess he will have next basho to prove himself. He really choked it there, not to take anything away from Kisenosato.

He had to work hard for it, but now Kisenosato is the best-performing shin-yokozuna since Takanohana.

That was amazing. Wow. I'm at a loss for words :O
Didn't think he'd be able to force a playoff with his mostly useless left arm, let alone win the yusho! And yet he did.

What a lovely day!! :D

Omg I was giving up hope that kisenosato is going to lose against Terunofuji. But after I heard he won the first one open my eyes and wasn't much hope on play off. Then he won again! I'm gobsmacked and so happy he won with his guts and spirit. Well done Kisenosato!

Just woke up and saw a pic of Kisenosato with the cup. Oh my God, how? HOW!?

I´m becoming a Kise-fan. This is unbelievable and beautiful!

It´s incredible how likely and cute Kisenosato is. What has he gone through to become yokozuna, yusho-winner in a row and a highly sympathic person. It´s only a plus that he is an high-end athlete, even with a dislocated shoulder.
A true yokozuna!
