It has taken me until now to get it on the wall.

Also can't ignore Kotozakura, currently the only second rank (Ozeki) rikishi. One, because of his magnificent double boob configuration, and two because I don't like Kotozakura and it's fun to watch him struggling at the moment.

I have to mention Takayasu, mainly because he's an old hairy fella that really looks like he's had enough of your shit

...Abi. Cheeky in a different way, Abi absolutely loves a henka. That's when you sidestep your opponent at the initial charge leaving them flailing to the clay. Quite why nobody has worked out that he's absolutely going to do this is beyond me; it's disrespectful, sure, but it wins bouts (sometimes)

Ura. Who doesn't love cheeky chappy Ura, with his hot pink mawashi and plucky spirit? He's basically the Rey Mysterio of Sumo, coming up with creative ways to use his opponents' size against them and generally doing his best for the kids. A babyface through and through. Unlike:

Aonishiki is Ukranian, with a freestyle wrestling background that's been completely bamboozling his opponents. He's 21, which is just unfair, and smaller than many opponents, but he's beginning to tear up the top Makuuchi division. The sky's the limit - Mystic Meg predicts Ozeki rank soon.

The polar opposite of Asakoryu is Kayo. If you've ever wondered what it would look like if an egg decided to take up Sumo, this guy - short, round, immovable - has you covered.
July 16, 2025 at 1:04 PM
Of course, Asakoryu is the real highlight in terms of spark plug dudes: this guy, almost gut-free, is an absolute powerhouse despite being small and relatively light in the sumo world. Great to watch.

Wakatakakage has the best name and appears to be one large muscle with some equally large muscles glued on top. Shoulders like boulders. Certainly has potential for a run up the ranks, at least he'd better, because he's one of my favourites. Look at the lad. What a whopper.

Hoshoryu, the other Yokozuna, has been in post for a few months. Full of fun outside the Dohyo and able to kill a man with his glare inside it, he's more technical than Onosato - and, judging by the gold stars he keeps handing out to lesser opponents that beat him, still finding his feet at top rank
July 16, 2025 at 1:04 PM
First, Onosato. The massive newly-crowned Yokozuna is basically a mix between a shaved bear and a lovely baby. Can't move backwards. When he's moving forwards he will smash you out of the ring with pure power. Once the skill of backwards movement has been mastered, all will be dust.

Without downloading new pictures, where are you mentally?

I think that would make for a surprisingly plausible explanation for everything. Except for Gary's death, which must remain canon because it was THE BEST

Dark day for the old thinker, lads. Nothing to worry about, there's a path ahead and all that, but work is suffering mightily and I feel like I can't just not today. EW GROSS PERSONAL MICROBLOGGING shut up
