Koorifuu 1,120 Posted October 16 Okay. Oshoumi being made to look like an absolute buffoon twice in a row must be a hierarchical thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabidJohn 2,069 Posted October 16 The copy-paste nature of the early part of program was disappointing, but the first half of the torikumi looked way less obviously scripted tonight and was more entertaining as a result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reonito 1,781 Posted October 16 presumably the top 4 2-0's won't be matched up on day 3 and will win, not sure who's been anointed to join them at 3-0 (Shishi?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fashiritētā 213 Posted October 16 My prediction for the final 4 undefeated Hoshoryu, Onosato , Aonishiki and ShiShi, im basing off of the current political situation, full on support for Ukraine by the British Government, hopefully im wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 20,246 Posted October 17 (edited) Day 3 torikumi: J2e Kotoeiho (1-1) - M17w Hitoshi (1-1) M15e Tobizaru (2-0) - M18e Shishi (2-0) J1w Oshoumi (0-2) - M14w Asakoryu (1-1) M12e Takerufuji (1-1) - M13w Tokihayate (0-2) M11e Shodai (0-2) - M11w Roga (1-1) M10e Daieisho (1-1) - M10w Churanoumi (1-1) M17e Ryuden (1-1) - M9w Fujinokawa (0-2) M9e Midorifuji (0-2) - M16w Nishikigi (0-2) M8e Ura (1-1) - M15w Shonannoumi (1-1) M6e Onokatsu (1-1) - M7w Oshoma (1-1) M7e Takanosho (1-1) - M5w Ichiyamamoto (0-2) M4e Hiradoumi (0-2) - M5e Kotoshoho (1-1) M3e Atamifuji (1-1) - M3w Gonoyama (1-1) M2w Oho (0-2) - M1w Abi (0-2) M14e Sadanoumi (2-0) - Kw Aonishiki (2-0) Ke Takayasu (2-0) - M12w Mitakeumi (2-0) M1e Tamawashi (1-1) - Sw Kirishima (1-1) Se Wakatakakage (1-1) - M2e Hakuoho (1-1) M8w Kinbozan (2-0) - Yw Hoshoryu (2-0) Ye Onosato (2-0) - M4w Wakamotoharu (2-0) As expected they have kept the top four undefeated rikishi apart, and matched them up with the next four guys in order. Among the 1-1's and 0-2's it's not a Swiss schedule, but I guess it doesn't have to be since the distribution of the final records really doesn't matter here. Will we see the two sekiwake meeting on Day 4 or Day 5? Edited October 17 by Asashosakari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,812 Posted October 17 On 15/10/2025 at 23:01, Akinomaki said: Much better quality to watch from Japan than from Pluto TV, Rakuten R channel shows it all around the world, so it seems https://channel.rakuten.co.jp/ And announced as VOD as well So far I haven't been able to get a proper VOD, neither on Pluto TV, nor on Rakuten R - both have repeat streams, in which you can't jump back forth, just like in the live stream. Only the live stream from the usual Abema streamer on YT allows that. Rakuten can't be recorded with the usual means, only with OBS Studio, and then the quality isn't better than the recording from Pluto TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
