What did people think of the other Yokozuna during Hakuho's run after Asashoryu retired? I started watching sumo the basho when Terunofuji retired so i never saw any of them. Im not just talking in their results, which i can look up their W/L record, but more in terms of their style while fighting and how entertaining it was or their overall personality how did people rate them?

>>266858
Harumafuji is the smallest Yokozuna in history and roped on back to back zenshos during Hakuho's prime. That's all you really need to know about him.

Did Sumo Spirit delete his AI slop channel and remake it under SumoSpirit? I know for a fact I blocked the channel before but for some reason it was in my feed just now.

Why do they constantly change their names all the time, impossible to keep track of who is who

>>266863
The new -fujis did it because Miyagino was officially dissolved and Hakuho's old deshi became official Isegahama dudes, and since Isegahama has a tradition of shikona ending in -fuji they changed names. Hakuoho still kept his old Haku- and Enho didn't accept the convention at all since he's already popular and not that long before retirement.

If some 5th division dude changes his name you literally do not have to care.

>>266864
My post was the result of discovering Kisenosato's name as an elder is Nishonoseki, but I was also aware that as rikishi rise through the ranks they do a regular name change sometimes, usually from a name that isn't their original name to begin with. So some of these niggas have like 4 names.

>>266861
No it's the same channel. I've blocked it and lots of other AI slop too but they've been pushing this shit hard lately, especially AI music. I've gotten another sumo slop channel too called Sumo Flashback with the disgusting garish kind of AI thumbnails boomers love.

It's kind of a shame that Kisenosato didn't enforce a Kise- shikona on his guys since apparently that's a rare kanji. Onosato could've been Kiseryu or some shit.

>>266865
Part of it is needing to earn a name, or superstition about sucking with an old name. Retired people change their name to the fixed stock names, which you could argue is good because it frees back up their old names.

And if you don't already know, the shikona of Onosato comes from a combination of Daiki's favourite Yokozuna, Onokuni, plus his master's shikona of Kisenosato, resulting in Onosato. The shikona just happened to have been used by an Ozeki over a century ago so Kisenosato tracked down his ancestors and asked if he could give his deshi the shikona to which they obviously replied yes. Japan loves this sort of shit.

>Harumafuji
Very light for a yokozuna and very technical. Hit a slump when he made ozeki, but left no doubt for a rope promotion with double consecutive zensho. Had injuries, but wasn't quite as beat up as the others and probably could've earned a couple more yusho had he not been ousted. It's an open secret that he's been a shadow coach at Isegahama.

>Kakuryu
The black sheep of the Mongolian yokozunas. Good all around, but not really elite at anything. He definitely deserved the rank though, even if he didn't have the same highs as the others. His later career was marred by injuries (many such cases), but when he was on, even Hakuho had to bring his A-game to beat him. He is also the Mongol with the most hinkaku, being the only drama-free Mongol yokozuna. He is also known for speaking really good native-level Japanese.

>Kisenosato
While his yokozuna career was a trainwreck, he was one of the best ozeki around and would've easily roped earlier if he was in a weaker era.

>Terunofuji
Tall, huge, skilled, and monstrously strong on top of it. I assume you already know the story, but making it to yokozuna with the way his career went is already Hollywood worthy. Everything afterwards is gravy. One could argue he doesn't deserve dai-yokozuna status because his post-belt yushos were in a weak era with not lesser competition. I'd actually agree with that assessment, but he deserves a lot more credit than he gets for how he achieved those yushos. Hakuho in his final yusho still fought like Hakuho, even if he was at diminished capacity from injuries. However, Teru was so injured that he had to change his style and tactics multiple times to get his yushos, which often goes overlooked.

>>266932
>a weak era

Do the injuries give him a little bit of a "what if" to his career? He still made Yokozuna but it really makes you wonder where he would rank all time if he didn't have his career completely turned upside down by the knees exploding.

>>266936
Yoisho!

>>266934
Medium era, potentially strong if the top of the banzuke gets their shit together.

>>266936
>Do the injuries give him a little bit of a "what if" to his career?
I would say so.

Shin-ozeki Terunofuji could compete with the elite of the day and even beat them, but not consistently. Maybe he would've grown and made it a 5 yokozuna era. Or maybe he only made it because those guys retired and he became a big fish in a small pond. Perhaps he became elite BECAUSE he got injured and was forced to work smarter, not harder. We'll never know.

>>266989
Hey, Futahaguro's final Ozeki basho was a 14-1D where he went through Asahofuji, Onokuni, and prime Chiyonofuji, falling to the latter in the playoff. What's crazier is Futahaguro had only actually been in Makuuchi for 12 basho before his promotion which I didn't even know until checking just now. I thought the record for rope from Makuuchi debut was Wajima at 15 but I guess not. They had every reason to think Futahaguro was going to win cups and if he hadn't smacked a bitch he most assuredly would have.

Hoshoryu on the other hand has no excuse because there's no Yokozuna of Chiyonofuji's level dominating Ozumo right now.

I'm glad you accepted my concession that you were incorrect and in a fit of childish angst pivoted to assuming I think Takakeisho was a shit ozeki, and that that constituted some sort of defense of your argument. That was the first time I replied to (You), and this one'll be the last

>discovering Kisenosato's name as an elder

Think of a sumo stable as a clan. The elder names represent the clan, so when a rikishi retires and assumes the head position of the clan, he takes the name of the clan. Meanwhile, the individual wrestler has an individual name that is a reflection of that clan. The individual wrestler's name can change, but the clan name always stays the same. That is, until the clan is disbanded for some reason, of course.

He thought it was a false start (it wasn't). Tried to call his own matta after the fact. No dice, gaijin.

>>267206
Previously, Hakuho while sitting ringside called a mono-ii in a bout between Goeido and Kakuryu. This is (or at least was) completely allowed because by rule (unless they changed it) a mono-ii can be called by the wrestlers sitting ringside, it's just considered bad form to do so because then they're showing up the ringside judges. It also wasn't the first time a wrestler did so: Takanonami once did so in a bout between Takatoriki and Tosanoumi.
Hakuho, being smart enough to know obscure rules but dumb enough to not know when to apply those rules, believed that this meant he could call a mono-ii on his own bout, when the rules did not allow for that at any time.

>>267203
>>267207
??? But he's the one who went first. Was he trying to false start as some power play and then lost because he didn't actually mean to start, and then tried to claim that they should call matta against him, the loser? That's some major faggot energy

>>267207
>>267209
I've never actually seen anything where he said his reasons for trying to call the mono-ii, so I assumed he thought Yoshikaze touched down before Hakuho went out of the ring.

>>267210
I recall seeing him quoted as saying something along the lines of "anyone with eyes could see that was a matta," but I can't for the life of me find the source now.

>>267209
No, it was a good tachiai. Yoshikaze already had both hands and the dirt and moved forward just as Hakuho did. I have no fucking clue what was going through that Mongol brain.

>>267212
I can see Hakuho galaxy-braining that he was at fault for a matta, under the logic of he started too early -> he held up assuming the gyoji would call it -> he was unprepared for Yoshikaze's counter charge. He'd still be wrong and dumb but that's Hakuho for you.

>>267206
He's trying to call a monoii on his own match when the only two people who can't do that are the guys in a match. Not even Asashoryu did that in his Matrix match against Kotonowaka and that was a howler of a call.

Technically the gyoji(s) also cannot call monoii.

Can I call a monoii

>>267216
No Kirishima it's too late, you should've done it right as Dan pulled Gonoyama's hair.

Rikishi in a match are allowed to agree to a matta and restart, Kotoshoho and Shishi did it recently. Gyoji gave the go ahead but they stopped fighting and agreed to restart.

Is this before sumo became bloatlord escape sport?

qrd on why everyone hates takakeisho? I didn't start watching sumo until the basho he retired basically. I'm a weab and have enjoyed his commentary on the oyakata yt channel and whenever he's on abema, but idk much about his career other than the playoff against atami that gets posted here a lot and the fact that he was a push thruster.

>>267196
I dont know how i would've felt about him if i was watching Sumo at the time. He seems like he could be such a fag at times.

>>267228
He is the best sumotori of all time. High ego comes attached.

>>267227
People "hate" him because he was very one-dimensional, but extremely good at what he did. He also was going to lose extremely likely if his opponent got grip of his belt. Plus winning 11-4 yusho with henka didn't really help his image.

>>267230
I guess it's not common for guys with that skillset to reach ozeki?

>>267229
>it's ok because he was good
Why isn't every other dai yokozuna like this then?

>>267226
No.

>>267227
One-trick pony.

>>267238
I don't see the issue with playing to your strengths, especially when you have short arms like him. Do people call guys who only do yottsu one trick ponies too?

>>267239
>I don't see the issue with playing to your strengths
I'm not saying HE'S a bad guy for doing it, it's just boring as fuck.
>Do people call guys who only do yottsu one trick ponies too?
Guys like Umeyama who can literally only yorikiri, yes. Guys like Wajima who have a number of moves in addition to the Golden Left, of course not.

>>267239
It's not about playing to your strengths is about not addressing your weaknesses even when you're competing at the highest levels.

>>267238
But people like Daieisho and he's never laid hands on a mawashi in his life.

>>267234
Because these “Daí” Yokozuna were average and are “Sho” compared to Hakuho. The record shows itself. To be great you need ego and real life is not science fiction. Another reason is that he is Mongolian and not Japanese, plays a role, no matter how small.

>>267241
That makes sense if you assume he never even tried to get better at grappling, but it seems unlikely.

>>267246
>he is Mongolian
yeah pretty sure this plays a much bigger part than some magical ego only great athletes are born with kek

Hakuho was a lot more humble when he was the unchallenged record-breaking dai-yokozuna. His ego inflated to hell when Harumafuji, Kakuryu, Kisenosato, and Terunofuji were ascendant, and Hakuho started to get more frequently injured. It wasn't deserved ego, it was being overly defensive because he knew he was in decline.

Eh, not sure I completely agree with that. Take a look at his 2010 win streak. He was doing late pushes and bullshit back then too.
You're right in that it probably got worse as time when on, but he was always a dick.
I mean, look at this faggot.

So they're making an exception for Asahifuji and letting him do sparring matches with Makuuchi guys on tour? And he's beating their asses? Can't imagine lending Gonoyama's chest was too hard for him since he has Atamin in-stable and stern disappointed glares for any failures.

>>267251
banzucky is decided a day or two after the tournament ends. If he intai'd now he would still be on the banzuke for september

What exception? He was doing butsukari with Hoshoryu before the July tournament.

>>267260
Incorrect. The banzuke is written before the next tournament. If you retire before then, you will not be on it.

>>267261
That wasn't an official tour session, it was just Isegahama hosting an open session iirc. Maybe this is a sign they're willing to bend the rules to try and get him into Juryo this time round.

>>267262
An intai seems pretty easy to account for, just nudge everyone below half a rank up, unless they're a sekitori holding rank on 7-8 in which case sucks to be you.

>>267263
Again, what rules? He's a new Juryo guy. It's not uncommon for that to happen.

>>267264
As it stands Asahifuji won't be Juryo next basho.

>>267263
>it was just Isegahama hosting an open session iirc
Sakaigawa

>>267266
Ah, I just saw Teru blocking the camera and assumed since Isegahama is a big enough stable to host something like that.

>>267267
That doesn't make any sense, but okay.

>>267263
>An intai seems pretty easy to account for, just nudge everyone below half a rank up
What does that have to do with it? If you retire between the end of the basho and the release of the next banzuke, you aren't on it.

>>267265
Close enough though. Still not uncommon for makushita joi to spar durking the sekitori session.

>>267269
The train of thought was that since Asahifuji is rumoured to be Ms1e next basho, if Mitakeumi were to go intai now it would push Asahi up to Juryo (and basically save two months of his life).

There are a couple posters who post negatively about every rikishi.
Don't take it seriously.
It's honestly insane he was as competitive as he was. One of his nicknames was Sumo Genius for a reason.
The people harping on his obvious health issues are doing so because they have nothing else to latch onto and they think it's some sort of "gotcha" that makes them right. In their minds, every single rikishi is the worst of the worst and any kind of positive viewpoint is insanity and must be attacked.

>Tacoqueso was far more exciting
Hmm, I wonder what he'll do this time. Will he walk forward, or will he lose. WHAT A RUSH!

>>267277
Also, he was a bit polarizing, so having someone to centre the hate was nice. It meant there was always something to look forward to in the sanyaku that stirred the spirit. Who cares enough about seeing kiri or zak or hosh or onosato fail/succeed at this point to give a rat's ass about their bouts in particular? I just want any of them to actually be good

Like, I guess there's Aonishiki, but I don't think people have any issues with his sumo or him as a person and just want to watch him fail by proxy because D*nfags are insufferable
