One more day of sumo

A friend who is big into the trading cards hooked me up with a signed Nishikigi!

Contents of the bento

Hoshoryu bento and assorted gachajunk. Didn’t pull the Hosh items myself but thankfully when you’re carrying around a huge hoshoryu shopping bag people are pretty willing to trade Ps: ended up trading the Hosh coinpurse for an aonishiki one to a good friend who is also a hosh fan

I have become more powerful than ever before now that I have the tegata of my 3 favorite rikishi along with matching prints by @irisleu.bsky.social. Also shout out to @tegatastore.bsky.social From left to right - Ura, Hoshoryu, Nishikigi #sumo

Excellent thread and good call. the magical squid and MYSTERIOUS HOLE are best kept from the uninitiated

NISHIKIGI SHONICHI!!! Big Nish powered out no one’s favorite, Hakuyozan, to earn his first white dot of the tournament

NISHIKIGI KACHI-KOSHI!!! Big Nish pushed Kayo out today securing his winning record. What an amazing comeback with a streak of 5 wins in the second week (sorry Enho) This is is first KK since July #sumospoilers

That’s the look! My boy’s locked tf in #sumo

weird to see those llm bots that say nothing to each other all day randomly latch on to Midorifuji’s heart condition hoping for Midorifuji’s full recovery and a swift death to these things

NISHIKIGI SHONICHI!!! or at least I think that’s what this notification means… not able to catch juryo today #sumospoilers

Onbashira is from Nagano which is where Lake Suwa is located. He previously fought under his real name Hayashi Ryu and was a sandanme regular before falling down from injury Today was his first match as Onbashira and he won it handily Here's hoping he continues to enjoy the favor of the Suwa gods!

Touhou fans may know that the characters of Kanako and Suwako are loosely based on the myths of the Suwa region. In reality, onbashira are sacred pillars at shrines around Lake Suwa. There's also a festival where people ride logs down the mountain to be raised as onbashira.

Incredibly niche post: I noticed today that one of the jonidan rikishi had the shikona "Onbashira" This rang a bell because I've been playing the Touhou games and in MoF Kanako has a spellcard "Expanded Onbashira" Apparently onbashira are the pillar things behind her back she shoots danmaku from

psssst, kirishima is currently at the top of the yusho arasoi 🤫 #sumospoilers

My KC picks for Hatsu 2026. Going alright so far

My KC picks for Kyushu 2025 Hoshoryu Aonishiki Hiradoumi Ichiyamamoto Fujinokawa All vibe picks, just guys whose sumo I appreciate. Didn’t keep up with training or injury reports so here goes

I ended up 3 points from the bottom! Not good! Nothing else to say other than that I’ll keep doing my brand of fantasy sumo and I’ll try my best in Fukuoka

I’m on the mailing list for the Tatsunami-beya fan club (though I haven’t signed up yet) and wow talk about tempting fate… #sumo

the spring colors makuuchi bout only happens once a tournament. like this post and ura and ichiyams will bless your crops until the next basho

My kachi clash picks. I’ve already dropped to juryo so may as well go with my heart… Hoshoryu, Daieisho, and Nishikigi are all old faves that have been struggling with injury recently, hoping for some bounce backs Definitely on the WTK ozeki run train And a bit of Abi chaos for good luck

Kotozakura as flag bearer! No kotoeiho. I’m sad that we didn’t get the whole Sadogatake baby face gang in the car together. #sumospoilers

I’d wear this as a shirt

Yeah this is when everyone (inc me) expected him to crumple and it just didn’t happen Was surprised to see that his win yesterday puts him in a select group who can claim a positive record vs Onosato. Obviously Big O isn’t at his best right now but it wasn’t a fluke

My brain is unable to process that this little guy is the same monster who henka’d poor Atamifuji!

AI continues to be the most worthless piece of shit ever, should have just used sumodb Anyway apparently Atamifuji does not have any kinboshis, could have sworn he got one off Hoshoryu

I like kinpira gobo but haven’t made it in a few years. I forgot how handling raw burdock root makes your hands itch like a mf…

NISHIKIGI SHONICHI!!! #sumospoilers

If you sent this picture back in time one year, put a gun to my head, and had me guess which currently active sanyaku rikishi it was, I would die #sumo
