What a bizarre crime. All that risky bother for a parking space.

Pretty ironic that Tobizaru is a violence perpetrator given I've often thought he has the most punchable face in ozumo.

To me it feels like "news in between basho", so I'd go the other way. But here is fine. I check both places.

Never seemed quite the same after his knee injury, and the decline/retirement of the old Onomatsu oyakata. He was one of this next big things when I first started watching, getting three consecutive 10-5s from his Makuuchi debut.

Oho goes 15-0, each time spouting his new catch phrase "Oh-HOH!?" to turn the tables mid-bout.

I admired him more than I was a fan of his actual sumo, which seems to be a common feeling here. Just look at his sumo upbringing. An oni dad -> Saitama Sakae -> Takanohana-beya. That's how a 170-something tall guy with slightly stumpy arms makes Ozeki at 22.

Well not anymore, no.

Crazy to see that Oitekaze had zero sekitori back then.

Glad to see Bariki can bend over slightly.

Curious who this final opponent is going to be. This could be a really far-fetched guess but... Kiyoseumi?

I've always had a bad feeling the guy's going to become Daikiho #2, I don't need yet another ominous sign.

Still not used to this.

Fighter to the end As good a time as any to repost this wonderful talk he gave

I sense a Takakeisho henka in the coming days.

He really didn't strike me as an oyakata type, so I'm not surprised. Re-bleach the hair, maybe.

Greatest since Tagonoura at least.

Not sure I've ever wanted to click on anything less in my life.

Nishikigi's earlier golden run towards the joi (2019-ish) happened around the time of his marriage, I remember.

Hakuoho's former shoulder decides to compete in his absence. It does pretty well and leads the pack at the midway point, but injures itself more severely after trying to throw hefty Kotonowaka without stable footing.

Glad he was able to have a nice event, finally. He had to have been the most overdue that I was aware of.

Unfortunate, but at the same time, I wasn't looking forward to him coming back and henka-ing even more jonokuchi/jonidan guys he should far outclass.

Nishikigi doesn't face the upper ranks often, but he's got a knack for upsets. I remember him doing something almost the exact same thing to Goeido the first time he faced him. It's like he's got more upper body strength than they expect or something.

Everyone looks better entering an airport than exiting it.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I'm surprised he wrestled under the Ochiai name at all. Given how superstitious sumo can be, I was expecting it to be considered bad luck or something to have a shikona with 落 (drop, fall) in it.

Oh no, Hakuyozan. Not again
