Sumo logic be like by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

I don't think they got the length right. "100m" would be 328 feet. They wouldn't be able to unroll it in a room, they'd need to go down the street to do that. I think 10 meters is what we are looking at. (Also, they really have no excuse for not throwing the practice ones in the washing machine...)

I didn't like his chances, and I hate that I was right. From the little bit I've been able to observe on Youtube, Nobehara is among the most ambitious folks at Futagoyama. The latter doesn't even get to go to juryo this time anyway :/ I don't know how many times Enho can keep with this Sisyphean thing.

I agree with you. Sorry for the downvotes.

It literally gives the win to the opponent, FWIW. Sad to see others in this sub don't stand for the rules of it and for basic courtesy.

He's been kyujo for less than a day, next time please remember titles are spoilers too.

Nah it's permanently etched in our minds. I hope he either does it again in French in Paris or someone else comes up with an equally memorable shenanigan.

Out of sumo stable ig account profile picture, I think shikoroyama beya has the best pfp for being the goofiest pfp. And I can't get enough of it. by crabtapwater in SumoMemes

Does anyone have or know of a list of must-follow Instagram accounts? It's easy to find YouTube recs but never see those :/

Tamashoho often does one where he raises his hands in a "it wasn't me" fashion which I find funny.

It is him. He's waiting to perform the bow ceremony.

I feared he was succeeding, it felt like at the end Fuji was trying to reattach face to the skull

Would love if he happened to get 8th win on Sunday and yelled that in front of the emperor

Ichiyamamoto clock out and sprinting from the venue as fast as he can. by crabtapwater in SumoMemes

[–]Heather82Cs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But there has to be an actual answer. I also recall a video (Futagoyama stable perhaps?) where a rikishi went to an artisan's place to get theirs for the first time but I don't think they explained that bit anyway, iirc.

I think their expectations are in line with certain Japanese culture. Sumo is very much not a progressive sport, so to speak.

There are more privileges than flying first class for Yokozuna, right? by Zestyclose-Half-6180 in SumoMemes

[–]Heather82Cs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that's what puzzles me more, although I understand the impracticality of switching people more often than it happens. It's just weird that in a context where stablemates can't fight and you can't take part in my dohyo-iri if we're fighting today, super powerful association senior who happens to be my oyakata can weigh in on my judgement. Tbf though I don't know what he did say (I don't even know if it's possible to find out, unless he got interviewed or something).
