The Sumo Thread

For any late night degenerates like me, the MidnightSumo channel on Twitch is fantastic for watching the bashos

Now that the election is out of the way, time to focus on the more important stuff, like sumo.

Kyushu basho is here. Terunofuji is kyujo. Takakeisho is retired. Start of the Onosho era? How many katasukashi moves will Midorifuji unleash this basho? Could THIS be the basho that Takayasu finally gets it done?

Let the sumo games begin!

Oh man, I haven’t been following the sumo bc of politics bullshit. Time to jump back in.

1 and counting.

Takakeisho looks like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders in retirement.

my son (20 yo) described Tamawashi (who is almost exactly 9 years younger than me) as “decrepit”

That’s an odd description given that he just turned 40, just earned a kachikoshi, and still has a better build than many of his fellow rikishi 10+ years younger than him.

I am 95% sure he was just trying to needle me specifically

Nobody disrespects my boy Tamawashi!

Not fully caught up with the tournament yet, but 100% on board the Hoshoryu hype train.

Hoshoryu looks unstoppable, but I want to see Kotozakura take the yusho down.

Way to go Kotozakura!

And with both Ozeki having turned in a stellar performance, they are officially on the Tsuna rope watch for Hatsu In January.
