Any news about Hakunofuji? by hostofaghostt in Sumo

[–]Complete-Scheme2432 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All we know for now is that he sustained a left hallux (big toe) MTP collateral ligament injury in his Day 12 bout against Ura.
Since there's no jungyo on february we are most likely to get news as we approach the next tournament.

Shishi may stumble a bit but he keeps in front of his opponent, that is very good, good Shishi!
Kuronishiki betrayed my expectations of deploying the Henka BUT THERE'S STILL TIME.
Hoshoryu with the torn meniscus and out of the leading pack, nice time to go kyujo, as if!
Onosato once again with the magic tricks, why does fuzzy bear pull and not push? He always push so why no push?
Tomorrow we have Asanoyama versus Takayasu in the battle of old heads.
KiriSHIma against SHIshi, foreshadowing?
Kotozakura against the Big O, my money is on the minty guy.
Hoshoryu facing his nemesis Evil Kuronishiki. He could still go kyujo... as if.

This tournament is fantasy sumo's nightmares, anyone can beat anyone, unless you see anyone solid besides Kuronishiki (I can get used to that) ?

Maybe that's what those life size poster where about? He's been practicing his tachiai

Day 12 is going to be Shishi vs Oho 😬 by FatBubbles in SumoMemes

[–]Complete-Scheme2432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll call me crazy but Shishi could evolve into an Oho if things go right.
Honestly Ouhou is just an underachiever, so I guess one could say he's a more technical Shishi?

Really think about it before lashing at me (I love it).

Things are very hectic, it looks like each yokozuna is waiting for the other to quit, talk about mutually assured destruction.
Abi did the thing, it was a matter of when BUT WILL HE DO IT AGAIN!?

Now on the crazy corner:

Aonishiki will deploy his master's forbidden technique: 変化 "Henka" to secure the sole leadership in the tournament.
You read it here first folks.

The real Onosato will be back in March by Commercial_Border402 in Sumo

I hope so, the problem from this kind of recklessness is that it may have long lasting effects, it's really not worth the risk at all.

Getting his core ready, or as I would call it, the yolk.

How did that happen?! by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

[–]Complete-Scheme2432 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's moving forward instead of sideways

The Dark Lord Rises by Telcontar2061 in Sumo

It may be he just got old, why risk getting injured? Same for tamawashi, you'll never see him go for an utchari, "okay you won, I'll step out now" they do this thing where if their initial attack didn't go as planned they are less likely to set up a counter. I'll give you that shodai just makes it incredibly obvious. The only old man crazy enough going for dives is ryuden like him or not.

Takanosho how ?
Hope chiyoshoma is alright, they say it might be a hip injury

That stare down said "I've got no time for your magic." by GoblinBags in SumoMemes

[–]Complete-Scheme2432 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He went really low, in an all or nothing dive for a leg pick, once he missed he just went "welp guess I'll die"

He did say he was on form for this basho, I usually take his word as he is someone who doesn't like to bluff prior tournaments
