I am the Yokozuna

What a commitment. Great work!!!

Very happy with the new layout and design: thank you for your work, Exil! I also hope that the other points raised by the community will be considered for future improvements. I would love too a dark theme, if available.

…And if you really want to feel old, remember that sometimes you even had to wait a week for the results - not because the server was slow, but because the postman was. Younger readers: a postman was basically an analog notification system with legs......And yes, those stamps Tigerboy1966 speaks of .......those were like......... NFTs: tiny, collectible, expensive for no reason - except they actually did something...........

I know this ight have probably been discussed (and maybe even answered) over the years, but I wanted to ask again just in case. On the entry form, would it be possible to: Allow us to start typing the rikishi name and then select the matching option, instead of only choosing from a full dropdown list? Remove a name from the options once it has been selected? For example, if I choose Oho in one cell and move to the next, Oho would no longer appear as a selectable option there. I think this would make filling in the form faster and reduce the chance of duplicate picks by mistake - something I am currently suffering from.

Sadly, not the case. Sanseito and the fear of LDP losing their majority so adopting some of their ideas instead of focusing on things like the yen losing 50% of its purchasing power in several years. Even in early 2000s Japanese in general were not very fond of foreigners.........

No Okinawa this year, sadly.

Befitting that ex-Kaio was one of the messengers. Tight and on the point message from the young Ukranian. So, Aonishiki, I hope that Kaio told you a thing or two about how to stay in the rank for at least ten years as he did while causing some small uproar on some international sumo forum about something they called ozeki back-scratching club. Who are the other rikishis on the last picture with the schoolchildren? Can someone help.

In all, and it muster be said deserved, plaudits do Aonishiki, I hope that the second in a row, very Yokozuna-worthy, score by Hoshoryu would not be missed out. He has started growing in the rank and I hope soon he could achieve his first Yokozuna yusho. as the things came to pass, I believe Kotozakura would be quite relieved that he is not the lone oozeki. so Takayasu once again at a sekiwake? He would have put three days ago 10€ on such a bet? schade that St. Hakuho won’t be promoted.

Rather understandable albeit debatable decision. But what really caught my eye - how diplomatic and mature Aonishiki handles himself - from the interview at the FCCJ to this accident - he has shown hinkaki and clearly has the big goal in mind. Will he get there, no idea, but he has done the nemawashi well. I hope the Kotozakura for once would play a spoiler and make the basho even more entertaining on senshuraku. Irrespective of that this has been in the second week quite an interesting one.

Great entertainment, despite showcasing the lack of any technical skills by both rikishis.

Sadly, I must admit I don’t even know who Fonzie or Sailor Moon are… which probably means I’m either too old, too

I dread the lack of interesting winning techniques in recent basho - this time there has been only one chongake. What could be causing this lack of variety? Onosato’s dominance has an eerie resemblance to a certain era that only just ended, and now it seems that the only truly exciting storyline left is Aonishiki’s potential ōzeki run.

Any views on Tenshoyama?

Much ado about nothing here

When the dust settles, he would be remembered as one of the most entertaining and skillful rikishis to ever mount the dohyo.
