Would anyone happen to know where to find scans or photos of bandzuke from old Kyōto and Ōsaka sumō? I've been trying to find them for research for the Hoennverse, an alternate-Earth-with-pokémon worldbuilding project of mine, but to vanishingly little avail.

Maybe Kisenosato would (also) be in the Olympic opening ceremony were he still active. :P

Hopefully it makes its way to the US…

Welcome welcome! I hope your stay here is long and enjoyable.

However far back the last ten instances go, but never earlier than 1935.

Alas, that channel seems to have deleted or made private all of its videos. :(

Attached: my first pass at 2021.09 GTB using Hālian's GTB Secret Sauce™, that is to average out the last ten instances of that rank-record combination, and then fill the bandzuke based on the results.

I'm an alternate history nerd, so I regret not finding this thread earlier. What if Ōsuna-arashi didn't go for his fateful drive? What if kōshō seido were never abolished? What if the concept of yokodzuna never existed? Or the limit on foreign deshi, or the ban on foreign oyakata, or or or or :D

The link to that thread has rotten; might you know where the thread went? o_O

The words necessary to express the true measure of my anger at the Ō Sadaharu committee and the NSK for coming to this close-minded, self-destructive, and actively racist conclusion are not repeatable in polite company. Nevermind the obvious conclusion that everything recommended is more or less the exact opposite of what should actually be done. This but unironically

Interesting thread! I'm looking forward to reading the book…

LOL. Not coke, Coke.

Also Coke, but I doubt you’ll see chikara-cola anytime soon ;)

A salute to each of them. o7
