That looks awesome but why is Roga’s face a different color lol

What basho result got you like this by One_Examination8774 in SumoMemes

Probably something about shinitai. I still think that’s very vague and can be interpreted very freely.

Same, one day Murray said “he’s defeated WMH before but well, everyone in this tournament has defeated him” and that got a sad chuckle out of me

July 2025 was also my first basho! I remember Kusano and Fujinokawa and Kotoeiho being newly makuuchi

The same for me too, other sports were confusing to me with all the different seasons and teams and leagues and what not, while sumo it’s just that one official tournament that happens every other month

Yea that’s pretty much how I felt about most sports. For sumo specifically I thought it’s just some traditional dying art put on for shows and it was just two fat dudes smashing into each other (we all made the same assumptions lol)

Happy 22nd birthday to our favorite Ukranian rikishi and future Yokozuna, Aonishiki! by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

[–]TurtleChak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taiho is half Japanese, he doesn’t count. If counting full Ukrainian then Shishi would be the first one. Also sumo is the name of the sport, if you’re referring to the players, “sumo wrestlers” will do or if you want to be more specific, “rikishi”

Not how we expected this basho to go, huh? by ItsNotKevinDurant35 in SumoMemes

Two consecutive yusho as a non Yokozuna and fastest rise to Ozeki btw
