Yamanashi 3,793 Posted May 12, 2024 (edited) All but one member of Sanyaku loses on day 1. Sorry, not ridiculous enough. (H/T @Akinomaki) Edited May 12, 2024 by Yamanashi 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,222 Posted May 12, 2024 (edited) Takayasu loses on day 2 to Onosato, who stays undefeated till he loses to Tobizaru on day 9. Nobody notices that Takayasu doesn't lose another till then, as soon as he is one in the lead again he loses another - and wins the rest, Onosato keeps winning till he loses on day 15 and Takayasu wins the ketteisen.

Yamanashi 3,793 Posted May 12, 2024 Newcomers Oshouma and Tokihayate, asked what their goals were for this basho: "Hurry up and make it to the joi so we can feast on those creampuff Ozeki." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamanashi 3,793 Posted May 12, 2024 A trillionaire international industrialist, Minoru Satoyama, hires the top Yakuza cartels to ensure that Takayasu will win the Natsu 2024 basho. He will give them 150 trillion yen if they are successful, but they have to put up the cost of the project. They go all in, bribing and scaring everyone associated with Ozumo. On day 15, his opponent "trips", but falls against Takayasu, knocking him off the dohyo. The Yakuza organizations go bankrupt. It is revealed that "Minoru Satoyama" is really Takahashi of the Tokyo Police special unit SUNS (Super Ultra Nerd Squad), whose members all have IQ's over 170. He points out that 1) the NSK was in on the sting, and 2) anyone who thinks that Takayasu could win a yusho under any circumstances is definitely not a Super Ultra Nerd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barutokai 64 Posted May 13, 2024 The reason why Asanowaka is the bow twirler: Asashoryu himself enters on day 5, wins the yusho and says in his victory speech: Really. Everyone is weak! / 本当に皆弱い! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
