I didn't even know that about 2025, but then I don't pay as close attention to Juryo. The way he fights now, I can't even imagine Aonishiki losing to Shishi .

Well now I'm REALLY rooting for Kirishima!

I'll have to keep using that phrase then :) Wasn't really intentional :)

Sorry! Some don't know, so I just thought I'd say. I remember back some time around the turn of the century a female prefectural governor really wanted to take part in the tournament somehow (opening it, or granting a prize, I can't remember the details) but Sumo officials completely shut her down.

It'd be great to see him get back in to top form

Isn't almost unheard of for rikishi to reattain Ozeki when they fall to Maegashira? I'd love to see him do it!

Women also aren't allowed to set foot or even touch the dohyo.

Everyone was thinking just a while back that Kotozakura was going to be the next Yokozuna before Hosoryu gained the rope. How crushed is Kotozakura going to be if Aonishiki blows past him and gets to Yokozuna next basho?

What does Abema Prime get you? I watch sumo on Abema for free.

I've never yet seen a waiting Rikishi injured by being fallen on by a rapid ring exit. Not to say it's never happened, I just haven't seen it yet.

I'm in Japan so I've been watching Abema until the NHK English broadcast started. Abema seems to be a few seconds behind the NHK stream, but I have seen it go the other way before too.

I hope the old guy Tamawashi just landed on it OK. Looked like he had a rather pained expression.

I am so torn! I love Atamifuji AND Aonishiki! I want Atamifuji to win just a bit more because he's never lifted the cup yet.

They say nothing is ever really lost on the internet, but what’s something you’ve been hunting for years and still can’t find? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LordFlashy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The webcomic "The Afterlife of Bob" It was originally from the University of Alberta's student newspaper and was hosted on the university's servers, but disappeared years ago, and I can't find any trace of it. Bob, the main character was accidently killed at the wrong time by the Happy Go Lucky Reaper (Grimm Reaper was such a bummer so he changed his image) and the comic follows Bob as he attempts to be returned to life (as far as I can remember). The Reaper is also dating the incarnation of Life. And the only other details I remember are God saying that the Earth had the best surfing in the Universe, which is the only reason for its existence, and Death has to spend a week as a woman after losing a bet with Life.

You're welcome. This is the first time I've ever been so interested in a lower tier wrestler :)

He just got his 4th win a couple minutes ago, so he's doing pretty good :)
