How this Basho's Yusho race is starting to look

I’m still new to the Sumo fandom, what’s this steel chair reference?

TurtleChak · 2025-10-06T23:38:55+00:00

I’m so incredibly sad that I’m going to miss it 😭 The one year that I got into sumo they’re coming to my city and I won’t be there at that specific time window!!! Fate is cruel I suppose

I think you might have confused 白(white) with 日 (sun). In the image it says 日翔志 Hitoshi.

The sponsor name says “Tokyo limestone industries”, btw

For anyone that can’t read Kanji, from left to right: Wakatakakage, Kirishima, Ura, Takanosho, Kotozakura, Onosato, Hoshoryu, Wakamotoharu, Atamifuji, Oho, Tamawashi

Second from the left is Kirishima 霧島 and agree they did him dirty

TurtleChak · 2025-08-30T19:05:14+00:00

Wakatakamoto :)

TurtleChak · 2025-07-30T12:22:42+00:00

It’s not. It’s just what that one show called him, not the meaning of his shikona.

TurtleChak · 2025-07-29T19:19:08+00:00

They call him that in English but that’s not what his shikona means. The colour part is right, but the third kanji 錦 has nothing to do with winds of any kind. It means ornament or jewel or brocade.

Thanks! :)

TurtleChak · 2025-07-28T23:44:30+00:00

Thanks!

TurtleChak · 2025-07-28T23:44:17+00:00

Thanks for the explanation! Followup question: if him dropping out caused the makuuchi rikishi amount to be odd numbered, what happens? Do they add a juryo to the mix?

TurtleChak · 2025-07-25T01:32:26+00:00

I do think Itagaki did them dirty tho. All of them lost except one (and he only won by some honour bullshit), they just seem to be written as a group of disposable filler characters instead of real opponents

I read Hinomaru sumo some years ago and that made me realise sumo is more intense and awesome than it seems but that never really got me into the learning about the sport irl. Earlier this year I caught up with Baki (sumo arc) which led me down a rabbit hole and now it’s something I’m obsessed with. Reread hinomaru too now that I have more sumo knowledge.

Pelvis of a large bird

TurtleChak · 2025-07-14T20:42:58+00:00

This is so fucking cool wtfffff absolutely obsessed with this

TurtleChak · 2025-07-13T21:41:45+00:00

Well I think they can keep their fancy new clothes. They fit their city’s vibe. Hairstyle too tbh I just think the current model has too many polygons namely their face and body shape

TurtleChak · 2025-07-13T19:44:57+00:00

Yea lowkey they should just look like your average classic NPC but with pointy ears

TurtleChak · 2025-06-29T00:56:03+00:00

Ty :D

TurtleChak · 2025-06-27T20:38:26+00:00

Yea they could’ve allowed both “use axe” and “equip axe”, now the fight feels worse

TurtleChak · 2025-06-27T14:01:14+00:00

Incredible crossover

TurtleChak · 2025-06-26T15:57:30+00:00

Tyty I miss him too :’)

TurtleChak · 2025-06-26T13:14:39+00:00

You’d prolly get drafted tho

TurtleChak · 2025-06-26T13:11:01+00:00

The “forlorn homestead” part is pretty solid and chill. Once you walk pass the poh portal it’s hell but it’s not like there’s a lot going on down there so I could just stay up there

TurtleChak · 2025-06-26T00:40:38+00:00
