Yea, I didn't really think he would do much either, but what I've seen of him so far has been exceptionally solid for a lower ranked. He reminds me a little bit of Atamifuji on his come up, but a little more solid imo. Daieisho is a solid skill check so let's wait and see!

Well, we don't have to wait any longer!

how it turned out

Funny how Daieisho made it look so easy. He's like: "I know what you're gonna do, so I do this instead. See how I'm thinking two steps ahead of you? That's called experience." Still, Atamifuji didn't really do anything all that poorly, he just got outclassed by someone in his prime with a 10 year head start.

Thanks for using the spoiler tag! For some reason NHK didn't post their video yesterday and left me and my partner in the dark. Thankfully it's up now so we will be catching up tonight!

NHK didn’t post their video yesterday

Yeah, I noticed that! I think someone in their office messed up. Eventually I realized that although they hadn't posted it to youtube, they had in fact posted it to their web page! For future reference, you can check here: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/sumo/

Thanks for the tip! Yeah I went to their YouTube channel and looked and was very disappointed.

Where do you get your sumo news and watch the bashos usually? I'm Canadian and it's basically NHK all the way...

I watch https://www.twitch.tv/midnightsumo for live stuff, I think he's a fellow Canadian of yours! He livestreams commentary on an Abema stream. it's nice bc he covers the entire tournament, not just makuuchi.
There's also https://www.twitch.tv/karla_sumoist who livestreams on an Abema
one time when twitch shut down midnightsumo, he livestreamed on a private youtube stream that was advertised on his discord. I haven't signed in to discord for a year or so tho
https://tachiai.org/ has some good summaries
besides that it's just https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumo2 and the NHK site for me. oh yeah also https://www.youtube.com/@sumo-video/videos There are others out there ofc.
