The company that Aonishiki is keeping is impressive. Continues to make a good case for Ozeki. If he keeps it up, come Match we could be seeing him in that spot.
Still so young too.
Last night is exactly what Hoshoryu has been wanting since that henka from Wakatakage. Now he has an in for the Yusho.

Reference: Wakatakage-He’s having a tough start to the November basho, but I am still rooting for him. TBH I’m rooting for all of them. I want them to do their best.

Hoshoryu was so mad afterwards. Well, he forgot that he had henka-ed Wakatakage at Aki day 14. 😅

I was rooting for Wakatakage, and seeing him not rank up was such a bummer. Hoshoryu really seemed to have it on lock, too. I was definitely on the 14-0 train for him until he faced off with Aonishiki, but I was still convinced the yokozuna was gonna take it. Just kind of a bummer

So far a great day for sumo, but not for my bois
Kirishima Wakatakage is one of the top 5 matches of the basho calling it now. exciting and cinematic.

One one hand, WTK choking a bit on his ozeki run is disappointing, but on the other hand it's too much fun to say "Sekiwake Wakatakage" out loud.
Some people on Twitch added "uwatanage" and I was like okay we're in Candyman territory here, don't say all that in front of any mirrors #sumo

🤼Hakuoho starts strong, big hit on the tachiai and keeps driving to get Wakatakage out of there with oshidashi (frontal push out)

I so badly want to see Hoshoryu and Onosato in a meaningful match against one another. Maybe doesn't need to be for the yusho, but perhaps for the jun-yusho.
I'm all in for Wakatakage and Aonishiki

More peak masculinity:
This is Ichiyamamoto (一山本) one of the top Sumo wrestlers.
He loves skin care, collecting large plushies, cooking, karaoke, being my himself, collecting Wakatakage merch, and doesn't eat meat.

Hey people. Still love bsky and would love to be able to spend more time and effort here. Help me out by maybe resharong that Wakatakage/Kinbōzan bout or a similar great bout far and wide? Just a thought.

🤼Match of the day is this wild back and forth between Wakatakage and Kinbozan, with Wakatakage ultimately catching Kinbozan with an utchari (backward pivot throw)

Maybe someday I'll stop seeing #Abi as a spoiler and start seeing him as a good wrestler. After beating
#Wakatakage in day three and dampening his ozeki run, I'm not ready to change my perspective.

My terribly uninformed #GuessTheBanzuke for Nagoya Basho in July. I did no SumoDB queries nor look at history. I don't know how the JSA thinks about rankings. This banzuke was a mess, so I'm curious how it's all going to shake out. I'd be happy to hear what more informed fans think.

I was happy with the majority of Sumo this Basho. All my faves had winning records minus a couple.
Aonishiki, Wakatakage, Koteiho.
I wish Ura and Shishi had a better Basho, but shit happens.
Orosato went insane and only lost one match against, against the current Yokozuna Hoshoryu.

losing 3-2 by allowing the Maegashira to defend his outside right grip.
He also struggled against the low-striking attack of the smaller brother, Komusubi Wakatakage, losing 2-4 at first.
The yokozuna then recovered, winning five consecutive bouts for an end score of 7-4.
All total for the day:

There should be an extra "ka" in Wakatakakage but I typed it wrong once; my phone's suggested words sees me get halfway through typing it, goes "Wakatakage" and I go "looks right, thanks phone, post, damn it that's wrong"
