Dan is the only one capable of protecting the dignity of the yokozuna rank from having yet another mong mediocrity stain sumo by calling himself yokozuna. If it weren't for Dan's domination kiriSHITma would already be a yokozuna and we would be stuck with yet another horseSHITryu tier sack of crap defiling the rank for years.

Dan is the first great yokozuna of the post-mong era, he is the dominant figure who will put an end to the time of troubles that started with the collapse of the reign of absentee yokozuna terunofuji. The pretenders to the crown who sprung up during the interregnum will be cast aside by Dan and sumo will be granted a peaceful new era of dignified hinkakutastic yokozuna dominance

This is the record of someone who struggles with injuries, not to mention has to deal with Hakuho, Harumafuji, Kakuryu, and Kisenosato every basho. This is proven by how in his comeback when only the ghost of Hakuho remained he was basically unchallenged. In 9 basho he went 5 yusho, 3 jun yusho, and 1 kyujo. He was only Yokozuna for the last 2 of those, and one of those JYs was Hakuho's final zensho in which Chiyonofuji and Taiho in the ring together couldn't have beaten him.

My amazing conspiracy theory: Chiyonofuji’s sudden retirement in May 1991 was forced by external forces. Sumo officials or insiders found proof of his steroid use and gave him an ultimatum to immediately retire or they would go public and ruin his legacy forever. Shoulder injury was just a convenient exit strategy to sweep a massive doping scandal under the rug.

>>267527

>>267527
>Chiyonofuji’s sudden retirement in May 1991
He fought five actual bouts over the previous three basho. This was back in the days when they actually expected yokozuna to compete and perform well. It wasn't sudden.

Reminder that the job of a Yokozuna is to make sumo exciting. With this in mind, both Hoshoryu and Futahaguro are/were better Yokozuna than Kisenosato who was by far the worst Yokozuna of all time.

You can say "too many ozeki" isn't a thing all you want but there really was no other reason to deny 34 wins.

>>267565
I already gave you another reason.
Did they deny Kakuryu's ozeki when there were already five ozeki? No, they made Kakuryu ozeki and they had six until Harumafuji made yokozuna. So there must have been a different reason. That reason was, he already had a weak ozeki tenure, and when he followed up his 14-1 with a 10-5, they felt compelled to assume he was a flash in the pan instead of someone who would've done better as ozeki the second time around.

As if Japan has not seen a single black man before or after that one, come on

From what I understand, that's a small part of a larger image and if you zoom out you can see Nobunaga watching the sumo. There were reports from the time of Yasuke participating in sumo matches, so it would make sense if it was him.

Honestly wouldn't mind seeing Kirishima manage to get the rope this coming basho and then Aonishiki to manage the feat by end of year. It would give us a classical split of Yokozuna
>Aonishiki - all around terrifying, some injury concerns that stop him just running rampant
>Onosato - utterly dominant when uninjured (he is always injured)
>Kirishima - consistently good, filters the trash out of the yusho race, always chokes himself in the end
>Hoshoryu - prevents other guys from zensho and always looks good for a yusho (never does though), hands out meme kinboshi to keep us entertained
I could really go for that zuna spread. Note that things could change (Mongolians could stop choking, Aonishiki could get more injuries, Onosato could use there being multiple zunas to actually rehab and come back to what we know he can be) but atm that would still be a good lineup.

I'd be one of those Jonokuchi guys who gave Asahifuji a free win because I'm scared he'll hurt me if I fight back.

He just broke the record for most bashos from promotion to first at the rank. The previous holders were Kakuryu and Futahaguro on 8, with the latter retiring at that point.

These should stay ozeki, and it's a failure of the YDC if ozeki like this become yokozuna.

I think the fact that we're in the all time record for most 12-3Ys in a row should tell you that no one actually deserves rope right now. Hell we didn't just beat the record by one, we beat it by fucking two.

We beat it by two *so far!*

I see no reason to think the run of 12-3Ys will end any time soon. Healthy 'sato could do it but not these goobers.

Do they take into consideration specifically the win or the loss count?
For example, would a 12-3 with a playoff win be on similar standing to a 13-2 no playoff considering the 12-3P would be 13 wins

Ozeki easily my wrestling, football, and 6'4 frame would be too much for these unskilled rikishi that have only ever sumo look at dan. Sumo is genuinely the most unskilled grappling sport ura would be yokozuna in the 60s and dan would have 50 cups.

What is better? To be a sumo fan in an age of well-matched competitors jostling for rank, or an age of dominant individuals that hold the top ranks decisively for years?

We're currently in the former, obviously. I can't help thinking that in some ways it's preferable to the latter. Both can be engaging for different reasons.

Im not a fan of hate watching and if it happens that a truly dominant Yokozuna emerges and i despise him then it would sour my enjoyment.
I like having 3-4 rikishi that are supposed to be in contention for the cup every basho and then have 1 or 2 randoms getting to 10-11 wins for spice; and if they manage to overcome being just there for flavor and end up winning, then good for them.

You can lead a rikishi to water, but you can't make him drink.

A dominant yokozuna is fun to root against takakeisho was a hero for beating teru for a cup and waiting for the new star to break out Is exciting like dan are onosato. On the other hand a watching only one guy win can get boring and watching ozeki/yokozuna hopefulls choke can be grueling. Wtk last yusho was absolutely awful to watch.
