The safe name for someone that does a lot of fancy throws is the current grand champion, Hoshoryu. Some of his bouts are amazing.

I'll be honest, i didn't think he could do it so early, thought this was a 2026 proposition.
But hell, he did it. Best of luck to him. i know i am a big fan.

Yes, Hoshoryu is the new Yokozuna and Terunofuji retired, smooth transition. Soon we'll have the march tournament, the first for Hosh as top dog.

The March Osaka tournament is here, the first one with the new Yokozuna Hoshoryu.

Sadly, his first match as a Yokozuna was a loss at the hands of Abi who of course had to ruin it.

 

[Stormtrooper85]

Abi be like sometimes I'm great and sometimes I show up

Kotozakura off to a bad start as well

 

[Stormtrooper85]

There's some Yokozuna sumo.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

There's some Yokozuna sumo.

Yeah and against a guy that has a winning record against him.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

We got a new guardian of the ring, guy seems solid, he should try some sumo.

 

[RJ Green]

WAAAARRRRR ENHOOOOO!!!!!

 

[Stormtrooper85]

Kotozakura losing 2 in 3 days is a bad sign for his future at Ozeki.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Was just reading today how he's very liked by his attendants and is a very kind and generous guy. I hope it all works out for him.

Damn. I hope he pulls through, he was so close to promotion

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Legit Yokozuna sumo today from Hoshoryu.
How he absorbed that Gonoyama charge without moving an inch is impressive.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Man, Takerufuji is gorilla strong, to push Ura out like that. Impressive.

Hoshoryu getting henka'd, boo.
