Good first day.

Bowling Ball Takakeisho looks totally done.

Daieisho —

Kirishima Tobizaru was fun.

 

[Nova44]

Kiho almost went over on the ankle he went through electrotherapy to heal, that would have been a terrible start to the basho.

Ozeki Hoshoryu getting a common W over Abi.

Hamster really went fully belly flop into the dirt.

What the Hokuseihell was this big for nothing oaf doing? Dude is like lemme tie up your head and hope for the best.

Keisho losing twice the same way is truly depressing. I don't know how much longer his time at Ozeki will last, this could be it.

Shin Ozeki Nephew looking great against Abi
Kirishima looked solid as well. I don't think he'll struggle to retain his rank.

Tree really is just a freak show at this point. Really not fun to watch.

Really seems he'll be out of Makuuchi this basho. I don't know how he can get 8 wins, he's too basic.

Hakuho not amused

[Nova44]

Fuck.

 

[Rob Battisti]

That’s all she wrote

 

[Fox by the Sea]

dammit. i really wanted him to get to 10 yushos. i don't see it happening now. a healthy teru would have ruled de division for years.
they will probably keep him until someone makes yokozuna, then he'll retire. fuck.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

well Tree did his forklift sumo alright.
i liked what i saw from Shonannoumi, i think i'll follow what this guy does. i have a hunch he might be sanyaku in a year or two.

Asanoyama is soo good, sometimes he just does things you just have to acknowledge he's legit elite. this was an amazing match today.

 

[Nova44]

Asahakuryu looking bored and dominant as usual.

Aaand Takerufuji looks like Takerufuji.

-----

Onosato looking far better this basho, after a nervy last one.

Takahashi employing the Terunofuji clamps.

Tohakuryu really attempted a haymaker from the depths of hell against Tomokaze right after he got driven out lol

-----

THAT is the Kinbozan i've been missing! Patient but powerful. None of that flippy floppy nonsense with a faceplant at the end.

Not really sure how Takanosho screwed that up, but as a Shonannoumi fan i'll take it.

Asanoyama showing that grit.

Kirishima looking extremely sharp this basho, easy 10 wins.

Asanoyama looks LOCKED IN!

Revenge on nephew!

I really like the crop of young guys. Gonoyama, Shonannoumi and Hakuoho.

My boy Daieisho still just looking weak out there. Wonder if there is a lingering injury.

Wakabro 0-2!?

Looks to me like Daieisho-me-something and Waka Broken are suffering from missing out on the Ozeki promotion and having to start from scratch.

i has expectations from wakabro, but doesn't look good. the ozeki run might have to start next basho.

 

[Stormtrooper85]

Big ass tree bout to just lift people out every day isn't he? Like terutsuyoshi diving on them legs.

Nephew, noooo be careful my dude.

Kirishima looking good.

Takakeisho when he's on looks so good when he's not he's just flair flopping

Asanoyama looking good so far too
