As usual, new basho, spoiler alert:

During honbasho I may arbitrarily tweet or retweet results and match videos. If you dislike spoilers, please unfollow / mute for the duration of the basho (or on a daily basis), and remember to re-follow / unmute at the end of the basho!

Both in Makuuchi now!

Asakoryu and Asasuiryu got new kesho-mawashi from Meitoku High School, each in his shikona's color.

But... @hellogeri couldn't resist, and neither can I 😁 .

@yalla_behirot He speaks English. Not as well as he speaks Japanese, but he definitely does, that's how he connected with a Japanese person and got into Japan in the first place.

Short documentary about Aonishiki, narrated by the man himself.

@yalla_behirot זו לא הפעם הראשונה ולא האחרונה שזה קורה, רק שזה מושך תשומת לב בגלל הבולטות של הקרב הספציפי הזה. השופטים לא מסתכלים על הידיים של המתאבקים, אלא על הרגליים, כי הן בדרך כלל מה שקובע. אם מישהו בחדר הוידאו עולה על זה, אז יעשו מונואי, אבל הרבה פעמים זה מתגלה רק בצפיה בטלויזיה.

Couldn't resist...

Once again Wakatakakage has met serious injury. Here is my (human) translation of one of the articles, from Sports Hochi - in Google Docs, since it's a bit long for this platform.

@AbuKhamr @Ha2elrigg Chris sumo is about as reliable a source as the National Inquirer. Next up, aliens land at Isegahama beya.

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

It's official - Miyagino beya will be absorbed into Isegahama beya.

@tachiai_blog Isn't it actually Akua's doing? 🤔

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

@realJC_Denton Why not? Basically, currently he just has the ankle issue. And he is very young.

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

Aonishiki will not be back this basho. He will be Sekiwake in July, with one chance to regain his rank if he wins 10 or more matches.

It turns out last basho he also had a broken tailbone... It's mended now.

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

@blobeecat Did you just Death Note him? 😁💀

NHK World's Grand Sumo Preview:

I'm sure you heard by know that Onosato and Aonishiki will be absent. I'll just go crawl into a corner and cry.

Fresh episode of "Dosukoi Sumo Salon" - "The New Wave". Pretty up-to-date.

@F_Manga18 @Josheye Having the ichimon named after you doesn't really mean you are its leader. For example, I don't think Takasago is the real leader of the Takasago ichimon (Hakkaku is probably the one, though ichimon are more or less ruled by consensus rather than specific oyakata).

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

The Isegahama violence report is out. I'll try to create a full translation later, but short points:

* Hakunofuji was drunk and fondled a lady's thigh. It appears this is not the first time.

(1/2)

Here is that translation of the JSA's report regarding the Isegahama/Hakunofuji scandal. My take is at the end of the document.

@F_Manga18 @Josheye True. Note, however, that no foreign born oyakata has ever become a board member, so it's not like his prospects of that were good anyway.

So yes, slower promotion, but no real difference in this particular case other than income.

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

@F_Manga18 @Josheye He is not, and has never been, a member of the board, though. The only representative of Isegahama ichimon in the board is Asakayama oyakata (former Kaio).

[ヘルット @SumoFollower]

Just letting everybody know I'm safe.

I'm not really focused on sumo lately. Anyway, yay Kiri - congrats on the yusho and re-promotion.

Sad about Aonishiki. I hope he regains his powers soon.
