Managed to watch it live today but enjoyed the recap. Thanks once again.

Enjoyed seeing Jokoryu in the top flight. The thing I like about him is he went straight for the belt rather than trying to slap his opponent out. Makes me think he might live up to the hype.

And I'd put money on there only being four ozeki after this basho...

As many as that? ;-)

[Gusoyama]

Interesting stuff. Trying to figure out who Jokoryu reminds me of. Young Miyabiyama? I dunno. I liked Harumafuji's dohyo iri, it was very precise, if not as powerful as Hakhuho's.

[yorikiried by fate]

Thanks for including the full dohyo-iri. I knew I would be able to see the bouts, but having missed Harunafuji's first time seemed much more regrettable.

(Bow...)

[Bugman]

Thank you very much Kintamayama. (Clapping wildly...)

[krindel]

Yes, a bit late, but not early:

Late again? Inexcusable... You are hereby found guilty and condemned to upload the videos of each day's action for the rest of us...

Oh, wait... You are already doing that... Nevermind...

Thanks again :-).

[Akinomaki]

I liked Harumafuji's dohyo iri, it was very precise, if not as powerful as Hakhuho's.

But his hand slipped once. I think it was Kitanofuji who warned about the first honbasho dohyo-iri being error-prone.

[Dr.Radical]

Thank you for including Harumafuji's first honbasho dohyo-iri, Kintamayama! I was curious to know if he had gained any swagger from his first performance.

[Hageouryu]

Thanks to DowntownHyena for the Juryo selection - if this becomes a regular habit of yours, it will be an interesting addition to this thread...not trying to put any pressure on you (if it's there I'll enjoy it, if not, well that's OK too), but noticed that it was only your 2nd post on the forum. ...very welcome indeed. Thanks as always to Kintamayama. And regarding Harumafuji's first dohyo-iri, I seem to recall Hakuho's first was timed at about 1:25 or so, with Kitanofuji immediately suggesting that it would become less rushed with experience, and now it's typically, well, how long?.

Day 2:

[Pocari]

Not very early, and not too late: Again a very big thank you Kinta! (A yokozuna...) (First prize...) (A yokozuna...)

[kaiyo]

i noticed Haku's elbow again right away - BOOO

Haru lost - lets see how confident he's now...

[Gusoyama]

Holy cow, it sounds EMPTY in the stands.

I hope that the hew and cry doesn't go out about Harumafuji's promotion being a bad one if he goes 10-5. It is common for a new Yokozuna to get 10 or 11 wins in their first basho at the rank.

Day 3:

Did Asahisho slip on his own salt? :-D

It's possible, when you're up against a well-seasoned opponent.

I was oreganoly going to say something else, but I took my thyme to compose a better response.

Please stop. My sides are splitting.

Day Four: (If it was day 5 I could have said Day Five Spices, dang it..)

Wait-Day Four-ikake!! (Lame, but lame..)

[Naganoyama]

Not late, but not late! Thanks!

[Koorifuu]

Harumafuji sure doesn't hold back on harite despite the warning!

[Kaioshoryu]

Looking back at the day 3 bouts, I have to say I'm totally fascinated by the belly slap gripchange that Hakuho used in his bout... Should have it's own name!
