I see, I thought the "very special" one would surface when Shoury clinches his 50th or 80th Yusho milestone. I'll do an update when he hits that mark, count on me. (On the banzuke...)

LOL conspiracy? I was hoping for a playoff match, sigh... he served these belt grips on a silver platter way too easily.

Finally, the order is being restored. It's been a long time. Tell me, why is the last update "Very Special"? (Clapping wildly...) edit: its time for me step aside & keep :-D how the drama folds.

thanks for the comment I can picture them now (Sign of approval...). :-D BTW sekihiryu, a mavericks fan?

LOL, I wouldn't blame him for that, if one can be promoted to yokozuna why not to ozeki.

Thank you Tikozan, it works no more sleepless night (In a state of confusion...)

There's two things I never hit jackpot & Mickey puzzle. Where's the trend?

you see, it has became his instinct move. (In a state of confusion...)

that's the part of the problem (Weeping...), even if I manage to keep awake the stream wouldn't work always (Showing respect...).

I love the way you setup the filters (Shaking head...) and the rest :'-(

Asashoryu : 13-2 (Shaking head...) Hakuho : 15-0 :'-( now he finally got over the hump, there's no stopping him... Kotomitsuki : 9-6 (Mickey...) will be (Mickey...)

thank you thank you thank you i :-) Does Shuzan know the goldhat-man personally? anyway, nice to see him let one of his die hard fan to have a snip.

Homashou - I was hoping he'd make Komusubi at least. No playoff - the healthier Asa better the chances to have a playoff.

thanks folks

Aren't sumo rituals all 'bout superstitions? ...since they live & breath in that environment their judgment might be affected by it no matter if they're religious or not. BTW, how many styles of yokozuna dohyo-iri do exist and where are they come from?

I got the impression that higher ranking rikishis visit lower ranking rikishis' heya to train them or practice with, not vise versa. Can lower ranking rikishis visit the yokozuna's heya to practice with him? If yes, who gives the green light?

good point, I'd have done it. ;-) (Shaking head...) (In jonokuchi...)

sounds like "my dad can beat up your dad his hands tied behind"... (Sigh...) if you know what I mean ;-)

If he gets thru the fist few bouts then (Yusho winner...) (Clapping wildly...) 15-0... odds are against but I'd stick to it.

Size + strength do matter, what about skill, instinct, & some IQ... even if they do posses all these qualities how many of them could integrate them... I wish it were simple.

(In a state of confusion...) that explains why Hakuho made that cheap shot, Shuzan must have given him a word of advice before that last bout, who has perfected that technique if I'm right ;-). Well, I should stop rattling Hakuho's cage, it's getting old...

thanks Looks like they're throwing cooked beans or soya beans but on the contrary Taka is throwing tissues... (In a state of confusion...)

I wonder if this one was taken after Hakuho had henkad Shoury.
