Could someone explain when the scalper problem surfaced? I'm assuming the scalper problem came up during COVID? Back when there were same day tickets they would have acted as a damper, no?

Is Ōnosato going to be the first person to make Y without a MK?

Tokushōryū was 2019 no?

Sanshō committee can't help but rub in the choking, eh. That's a rare condition.

Fuck's sake.

The wheels are really coming off this basho, aren't they.

Same way how Ura's fluffing down of Shōdai last time was a hatakikomi too.

The course (or the par) might have changed slightly, though...

My bad.... Head post edited.

The joke was not to jinx him again, but never mind....

No, the club that says the first rule is that you never talk about the Takayasu yushō. The second rule is that you never talk about the Takayasu yushō.

A meeting of the Takayasu yushō club should be called soon, I think. Ōnosato is going to be one of those winningnest rikishi people love to hate, because his brand of sumo is so oppressively dominant in combination with his physique. On the other hand, Hōshōryū did a great job taking on Takanoshō at his own game today and winning. A much more technically rounded performance.

Hear, hear!

Most authoritative yokozuna sumo from Hōshōryū so far.

Just as a reminder, Takayasu has made it to 10-0 before.... Separately, I hope Ōnosato has learnt an abject lesson not to pull. He had most of the bout in the bag until he didn't.
