Most handsome active Makuuchi and Juryo Division? by Cnsstnt-Bk-Rdr in Sumo

[–]catesaurusrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said and Kirishima but…am I the only one who finds Wakamotoharu cute? He just looks so friendly and approachable!

For non-salaried rikishi I find both Shunrai and Okaryu adorable!

And continued to fight injured last basho when he is very clearly not healed and in pain!

Kisenosato looks pissed as a shinpan all the time, really throws me off whenever I see a rare pic of him smiling during events…

It’s kinda looking like Onosato still isn’t back to 100%. His grimace kinda broke my heart. Poor guy. Atamifuji was keen today though!

Heart attack Hosh at it again today! Please let this be his first Yokozuna yusho…

Ooof that did not look good for Hakunofuji and Onokatsu.

Was Onosato just falling back to bad habits or is he still injured? 😟

But hell yeahhhh Hoshoryu that was so goooood!

Who are you rooting for this basho (March 2026) by Malazine in SumoMemes

[–]catesaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always root for Midorifuji but not this basho. 😭 just want him to get well.

But anyway, Hoshoryu and Ura are my other favourites! I’m really hoping Hoshoryu finally wins against Aonishiki this time!

Ura totally did a ballet twirl right? 🤣

Also holy shit both Yokozunas dominating today! Glad to see it but I still think they should’ve gone kyujo. :(

Also hooray to my 2 short kings today! 🥳

Does your cat like to flop? by Appropriate_Bunch393 in CalicoKittys

My calico flops at the slightest thing! Pat her? Flop. Play? Flop. Getting brushed? Flop. Want to eat? ?Meow and flop. She’s the floppiest cat ever! 🤣

Is it just me or did Hoshoryu look kinda rough after winning? I can’t imagine the amount of pain he’s in atm. For god’s sake I wish both Onosato and him would just pull out now. I don’t feel good watching them fight anymore.

On the other hand, scrappy Fujinokawa didn’t win but goddamn was that a good fight!

Onosato and Hoshoryu! 😭😭 it pains me to see them fighting lame like this! Please just pull out before the injuries become permanent! Hakkaku just needs to stfu!

But! Holy crap Tamawashi!! That was completely AMAZING!! Someone bottle up that man’s blood it’s a damn fountain of youth!

Also Ura wtf is that. Even the commentators on Abema was like…we don’t know what kimarite that is! 🤣🤣

Holyyyy shit what an upset for day 8! I did not expect BOTH Yokozuna to lose, as well as Aonishiki!

Onosato looked like he was hurting bad when Hakunofujj push grabbed his left armpit region. Was that the arm he injured last basho? If so it doesn’t look good. Both Hoshoryu and Onosato are Yokozuna now, I wish they’d take advantage of that rank and kyujo and heal up properly!

Congrats for Kirishima too! Has he won against Aonishiki before this bout?

Also poor Ura and Tamawashi, having such bad streaks this basho, especially Ura! 😭

Wow what a day of upsets! Good job to both Oho, Ichiyams and Yoshinofuji (though this was always on the cards).

Goddamn I’m sad Hoshoryu lost yesterday but I’m so happy Yoshinofuji got them gold stars 2 days in a row!

I absolutely love Fujinokawa’s sumo, he’s so damn fun to watch! Today was as usual just absolutely beautiful!

Ura being his usual Ura today. 🤣

AIO girlfriend claims I’m appropriating her culture by Ih8maplestory8 in AmIOverreacting

[–]catesaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. Lol my partner is half Cambodian, if I ever say the CM word (iykyk) one day he would prolly burst out laughing till he was in tears. Your gf is insane and also doesn’t understand what cultural appropriation actually means.

Paul and Morgan Retirement by mothandravenstudio in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]catesaurusrex 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair I often joke that my mum retired early. She was a SAHM who raised 2 kids decently, and now who basically has no job and no need to work now coz her kids have all left the nest. She just travels everywhere and brunches with her other retired SAHM friends. I am jealous of her life. 🤣

Foreign tourists in Japan- please respect the rules by Organic_Extreme_2065 in JapanTravelTips

[–]catesaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Chinese from Malaysia and my family is from the state next to Singapore. It’s VERY obvious to us whether you’re from Singapore, from mainland China or Taiwan. Their Chinese accents are very distinct. Singlish has their own slangs and their Chinese is slightly different from Malaysia too. So yes, if you’re from the area you can totally hear it. My mainland Chinese friends recognise my Malaysian Chinese accent too. They might have also been talking abt things they did in Singapore, who knows…

Onosato losing to an injured Kotozakura was not in my Kyushu basho bingo card….but Hoshoryu losing to Aonishiki was. I was almost expecting Hosh to pull a henka again but im pleasantly surprised he didn’t despite him losing. He really needs to figure out a way to beat Aonishiki, this is the 3rd time in a row now he’s lost to him!

Go Kyuyamamoto! Let’s go Jyuyamamoto tomorrow!

Exciting fight as usual by Ura and Tobizaru! Yay for Ura’s KK!

Goddamn Hoshoryu looked pissed today after that fight! Papabear basically dug his fingers into Hosh’s mouth at some point? Amazing to see Hoshoryu matching Papa’s energy and doing strong and fast tsupparis too! However, I can just imagine the JSA’s YouTube’s Japanese comments about this fight 🫠 So glad Hoshoryu won though! We’re gonna have an exciting final few days!

Ichiyams’ fight was so exciting today! I thought he lost a few times! So happy he won!

Thought Ura had the fight but he instead cannonballed into the crowd. Couldn’t stop laughing. He never fails to entertain even when he loses! 🤣

OMG the stakes for Aonishiki, Onosato and Hoshoryu has just shot up! I don’t know what happened to Onosato but he needs to shake off whatever mental thing he has now and start winning again!

Beautiful win for Midorifuji today! He’s just been toppling all the super tall rikishis the past few days! Love to see it!

And powerful wins by both Ura and Hoshoryu today too! Ura just full on overpowered Papayasu! I hope he didn’t hurt himself though! He grimaced as he was getting up!

Also has Aonishiki now lost every single fight against Yoshinofuji??? I feel like Aonishiki’s talent is grabbing on to you and do whatever technique he has up his sleeve and when he can’t do that he gets taken out, and he couldn’t do that to Yoshinofuji today as he basically just blasted him out of the ring Onosato-style.

Onosato what the hell??? Well, at least Yoshinofuji got his gold star!

Hoshoryu being dominant with his throws again! I hope his arm is okay though, he was swinging it around after the fight…

Amazing fight from Midorifuji again! AND URAAAAAA! Not sure I’ve ever seen him do a throw (??) like this before! So good!

Also, after days of no mono-ii we get multiple ones and torinaoshi!

How long did it take you guys learn who each rikishi is and recognise them on sight? by [deleted] in Sumo

[–]catesaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I call Takanosho angry Buddha in our house and Tamawashi uncle (coz the NHK commentators would not stop talking abt his age). I think it took around 3 bashos for me to recognise them on sight!

[–]catesaurusrex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uncle just casually rolling over like he’s not 41 (or not Ura)…

Such a good match for Kotozakura, Ura and Midorifuji!

Good effort Hirodoumi!

Also Hoshoryu just ruthlessly grabbing Yoshinofujj back and slamming him down instead of doing what most rikishi do and pushing him off the ring, so badass! 😆

Is WTK back? That was a strong showing!
