I had seen him at that time on commentary and he was glowing. As of late, however, he's truly looking extremely frail and sick as pointed out above. Something is not right.

The channel is actually quite fun. Was never a fan of the manzai sort of comedy commentary during the live stream, but totally works backstage in the snippets with the rikishi.

I can your point but his face is full of glow and he's looking really realxed and healthy. His skin is looking fantastic. So I'd conclude that this is his default state and the poor guy was just force feeding himself profusely to keep weight as a rikishi.

Ok, Aonishiki has convinced me. He's looking solid. In the event a completely healthy Yokozuna gets or is about to get a losing record, does he outight retire or just pull out citing/inventing an injury and aim for next time? Curse to be promoted young and not ready as it cuts short a career ruthlessly.

Few other sports have their Hakuhos. I think the man deserves his own post-Kyokai-activities thread. Maybe this could be that?

Onosato has separated his wheat from the chaff of Atamifuji, Takerufuji, Hakuoho. The only real deal right now, and then some.

Can't wait for him to thrill us with his riveting matches.

I think I was pretty harsh in saying that. Maybe it was just the the posts with this sudden gushing adulation for him. But I've honestly not seen any kind of spark in his sumo which I have seen in spades in the other three. Time will tell.

There's no fun watching Onosato's sumo. He just...wins.

Nothing in Aonishiki shows he's the real deal at all. Takerufuji, Hakuoho and Kirishima, far far better caliber guys, started great and look at the plateauing now. No one looks good enough to stop this Onosato shinkansen, and that's a shame.

Props to the yokozuna for keeping the niramiai tradition alive. Save Hakuoho, I can't see any of the other rikishi being into it.

Onosato holding back?
