A running back that goes straight up the field (instead of running sideways to get around the end of the line) is called a "north-south" runner. So, Hiro's term didn't sound strange to me; but dohyo's are different, aren't they? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaninoyama 1,649 Posted May 19 (edited) Appreciate the videos. First time watching via the English commentary due to being outside of Japan. I like Raj's commentary the best of the bunch I've heard so far. Edited May 19 by Kaninoyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingo 1,100 Posted May 20 Here Hiro goes again with the north and south. I don't remember hearing him use it before, did he read a dictionary or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He uses it quite a bit, but in the past I've always taken it to mean "all over the place". In today's commentary however he gave a clear exposition: it means linear motion (i.e. in this case east-to-west). I think Yamanashi's reasoning might be right.
