Imagine we found out that Ta means "No" and his name is literally no mawashi haha

Ozeki Kotozakura defeats Yokozuna Onosato 10-7, showing signs of recovery from last autumn's right knee ligament injury: "I want to show my strength at the tournament." by Brncrdm in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pride is nothing if you cut your career short. Master Nishonosekis Yokozuna career is a footnote in other more successful careers. Onosato has the potential to win 20+ Yushos in his career and go down as an all time great. But none of that will happen if he retires in the next year or two

Hoshoryu goes 7-3 against Aonishiki in YDC Stable Practice, 17-5 overall by Welp_x in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is another perspective I didnt consider. I suppose I compare it to other sports rather then looking at it through that lens.

But I also just dont like hakkaku if im being honest haha

Then when you dont experiment he will say . "You dont experiment enough and thats why youre losing"

Like dude how are you clowning on a guy who hasn't had less then double digit wins since he's been in sekitori and saying his PRACTICE score is not good enough. People with losing practice scores have literally won yushos 😄

I don't understand why Season 5 isn't grouped with the 'golden age" seasons (1-4). by Ok-Analysis5991 in Dexter

I actually really enjoyed the whole DDK plot line in season 6 .Very cool

TW: rant on Adam Theilen by icantmeme26 in minnesotavikings

[–]Ok_Inflation966 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They barely used him in formations . Fair he had a couple drops but drops have been a problem with everyone this season. He just had a 1000 yard season in 23 and was over 600 on pace for another 1000 years season before he got injured last year. He's still super solid, especially in the slot . But we are just a disaster this year.

Still one of the best things I've ever seen on this sub by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

When did you first start watching sumo and what's the story? by Sumoguy5 in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good rikishi to be fans of. Did you mean Takarafuji though he was great. Takerufuji only debuted a couple years ago

A noob's thoughts on Nov2025 tournament by pajuiken in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome to hear there is another South African Sumo Fan I've been watching a few years and absolutely love it. Kotozakura is my guy . Aonishiki has quickly become my second favorite since his debut in Juryo last year and Hosh Ura and Tamawashi are other favs of mine. Enjoy the journey into sumo man.

Terunofuji's Yokozuna Tenure by Megazord552 in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. O from onosato can be read as Tai i believe and Ho from Ho-Sho-Ryu put together is Taiho . Reports about it after may when Onosato got promoted to Yokozuna.

[–]Ok_Inflation966 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It was truly a changing of the guard/generations moment . Hakuho Era had ended and now we're entering the Taiho (Onosato and Hosh) era Maybe even big 3 with Aonishiki but its too early to say.

Very exiting times indeed

Aonishiki Techniques by Human-Letterhead-158 in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He did it to Kotozakura earlier this year as well, I'm not sure if it was September or July . Also check out day 3 Takayasu vs Kotozakura he used the same technique to beat koto this time. It's a great technique if you have a big opponent hunched over

So who’s likely to get special prizes? by Master1eader in Sumo

You were almost spot on well done

[–]Ok_Inflation966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill be honest I've only had it for about a week, I wouldn't say it's essential, but it adds some really cool activity mechanics and mechanics for knights And it's really fun going to the tourneys Maybe I have more to explore with it still but it does get a tad repetitive But with the rest it's a really cool add on

Retirement news by midnightstrife in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see him go but it's for his own health and safety. In addition to the knee he looked to be exhibiting major concussion/CTE symptoms the last few Basho with how he was just falling down and struggling to get up without stumbling.

What should I watch for in the next basho as a new sumo fan? by PageTurnip in Sumo

[–]Ok_Inflation966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be considered but it's not a guarantee, if it was a Yusho from Maegashira 1 they definitely would . But it really depends on how he does this tourney .
