Hello and welcome to SUMO PRIME TIME. It’s Day 15, the final day of the July Grand Sumo Tournament taking place in Nagoya. Sumo’s king of the ring, Yokozuna Terunofuji, aimed to redeem himself by capturing his tenth championship. Winning 10 titles has been Terunofuji’s long-standing goal, as achieving this milestone will earn him the title of a ‘Dai Yokozuna’ or ‘Great Yokozuna’. However, other combatants hoped to dethrone the king as the July Tournament went down to the wire, and then some. This year’s July contest is extra special, as it marks the last time the 15-day competition will be held in the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, which has hosted the July Nagoya Basho since 1965. So, who came out on top for the last time in this history-rich gymnasium? We hope you enjoy watching how the heated showdown in Nagoya concluded.
These updates are nice but other than these I have no way of actually watching the tournaments until JSA and NHK either; allow independent UA-cam channels to show the bouts, or, starts streaming the bouts themselves. I love sumo but I have no way of seeing it here in Australia. Abema won't work here, even with a VPN it's hit-and-miss. You need to do more for your international followers than just snippets of bouts and highlights, we want to see the whole thing. You're making it hard to be an international sumo fan.
ive started to believe that they just dont want wide spread inter ational fans, because worldwide fame and even worse an international oversight can only result in a loss of the traditional religious aspect and will result in all manner of rule, safety and conduct changes and the elders absolutely do not want this.
For perspective, the elders do not care about how available sumo is to those outside of Japan. Realistically, the probably wouldn’t even recruit actual rikishi outside of Japan (and close outlying countries) if they didn’t have the issue of new members joining being low. Tradition is what’s hindering your ability to watch
Brilliant result for Terunofuji, I'm so glad he reached his target of 10. I hope Takanosho can keep up this standard of Sumo, he could get to the top the way he fought this basho
Congratulations to the great Yokozuna Terunofuji 👏🤴🏼You nearly gave your fans a heart attack but know that we were with you all the way. Your courage and dignity is an example and inspiration to so many🥰
It's good to see a smile on Terunofuji's face as he always seems so serious when he's on the dohyo. How much longer will he continue to compete, you have to wonder?
Part of me was expecting him to announce his retirement from hitting his 10 win goal but maybe because there's no clear other wrestler to take his place, the council wants him to ride it out. I don't blame him though! It's good to be on top $
@@FrisbeeTF2 That really depends on his condition. If we look at the documentary of hakuho's last yusho we get a glimpse into the suffering it takes to win. If the rumours of terus worsened knees is true then I can't imagine the pain he is every day, let alone getting them treated/drained
If not by injury, I think he will sitting around till acquired elder stock. Current banzuke doesn't has any guys who can dominate like him yet, so it's unlikely the JSA will want him retire.
Well deserved victory in this basho by Yokozuna Terunofuji ! His 10th, now he is a Dai-Yokozuna ! Much love & regards to all Japanese Sumo fans from tiny little Malta 🇲🇹
I'm a casual viewier, but watching Terunofuji lift an opponent out of the ring with a double armbar was what got me into the sport. Great to see him win. I look forward to watching Takanosho's progress as well.
The narration is the most lively and colorful I've heard in a long time. A very professional presentation that supports sumo wrestling monitoring. Thanks!
Terrific series; well earned. It was even more satisfying to have a sudden death playoff match instead of a simple win. Avenging a loss and winning a considerable honor.
Ura's match vs Terunofuji really felt like when the anime protagonist uses all of his techniques against an important opponent, but gets effortlessly shutdown and sent back to training for a future match.
Thanks for the summary of the Nagoya Basho! It was an incredibly memorable tournament. Terunofuji had promised his fans at a pre-tournament rally that he would achieve his first victory in Nagoya and his 10th overall, and he delivered brilliantly!
Thanks for putting all these matches together in a convenient package (my local station doesn't have weekend coverage for some reason). I keep reminding myself that while the sanyaku have a first-place schedule, a yokozuna has a first place schedule _for the entire remainder of his career,_ and is obligated to fight like a champion _every single basho_ *for the entire remainder of his career.* It takes a pretty phenomenal athlete to make yokozuna, much more so to get to double-digit yusho. Great job not collapsing in crunch time. He can retire whenever he likes. 😀
With Terunofuji's winning this Yusho he helps close the current venue for good, next year they will be in a brand new arena that will have better A/C system and both the fans and the Rikishi will not have to suffer in the heat.
Terunofuji deserves all the best. Becoming a dai-yokozuna after everything he passed with those injuries is very inspirational. Cheers from Brasil! 🍾🥇🎉
You can tell the Great Yokozuna has the power! He also doesn't fall for the nimble men, staying at them! Only some strong, big fellows can even compete!
I don't know if even Teru himself expected to be taking 2 titles in 2024, it was a phenomenal effort! When he became yokozuna we all knew he would be in constant battle with his own body and abilities. I didn't expect him to still be here actively competing 3 years on. We were so lucky to see a 10th yusho for Teru, his first in Nagoya and it all coming down to a playoff at the final basho EVER in the Dolphins Arena!! Hiro, I missed more regular uploads, I hope you have been doing well and staying healthy in the summer heat. I hope to see more SPT videos coming out soon :) Maybe you could do a retrospective on memorable Nagoya moments with Murray and John at some point?
I hate that he lost to Kotozakura, but he redeemed himself against Takanosho whom he had no business losing to in the first place. Secured his 10 wins making him Dai, but fact remains I don’t see Yokozuna material in the others… yet!
I agree even though many were trying to push Takakeisho for YZ he just showed that he is fragile and one dimensional(pusher/thruster) and was not able to keep his momentum when had a Yusho in his pocket. he would come out and fall flat on his face when in the next tournament.
@@yankee_tango He makes for a good Gate to becoming Yokozuna. Takakeisho is still a great Sumo Wrestler, if you take just one thing ( Being a Pusher/Thruster) and focus simply that, you learn how to make it work vs any types. The problem is if your ability to adapt with that one thing is strong enough for any situation. With Takakeisho, it wasn't. As you said, he would run out of steam. I feel bad for him to lose Ozeki, but like Shodai and less similiarly with Mitakeumi, but it is a changing of the guard. The question is who amongst the newer ground has the true makings of a Yokozuna. I still have hopes on Hoshoryu and Asanoyama.
@@Blind3866 Changing of the Guard is exactly what is happening. Not everyone can be Tamawashi who has not missed a bout since he debuted back in 2004. If I have my figures right Day 5 or 6 of the September Basho he will break the Iron Man streak. I am also hoping that Hoshoryu can make it to YZ but he has a tall order on him in September he has to make sure he get's 8 or he will fall like Keisho and need 10. I had high hopes for Wakatakakage until he ripped his knee apart but it looks as tho he will be fine, I see him making Ozeki around this time next year.
Sadly, Asanoyama's ACL tear he suffered this basho will severely delay, if not completely derail any chance he has of reaching Yokozuna. He'll have to start over from the bottom ranks again!
@@dalfonzowilliams4792 Aye, its true, it will slow him down, but if he has the same caliber that Terunofuji was able to demonstrate, he will persevere. It will just take time.
Such an exciting conclusion to the tournament and yet in canada we can not watch this. It should be made easier to watch. As a Takanosho fan it really was unfortunate that I could not watch this.
I applaud the yokozuna to fight on despite his injuries. But I really hope kotozakura and hoshoryu step up so that the yoko can finally rest. I worry for the future body of teru, sustaining and being maimed by injuries for a long time cant be that good for you.
I don't know much about Sumo, but I respect how Yokozuna Terunofuji was gentle to his combatants at the finishing move and avoided them possibly getting injured.
Terunofuji body looks so solid! Had been worried since the previous bashos he was looking flabby like how kisenosato looked prior to retirement. Glad his brand of power sumo is still amazingly strong like how a Yokozuna is! Love to see top rankers have dominating performances to show their authority and love for the sport
Much like a lot of people I can't watch Sumo here in the UK, NHK needs to allow other broadcasters to show this amazing sport, not only would it give sumo a wider audience to witness this great tradition but also the money generated from TV deals would greatly assist the sport in growing even further.
What is the point of killing all sumo content on youtube why you only post summaries? There is no way to watch sumo where I live, but I noticed all the sumo youtubers disappeared and got threatened with copyright. While you post freely- If you don't post full tournaments, exactly what is your purpose? Putting our eye out with 15 min vids?
Regardless of how long Terunofuji can last im happy to have been around to see his rise to Yokozuna and his resilience to uphold that rank to his 10th yusho even with his knee. I can only hope the next Ozeki that gets promoted can do the same.
It's unbelievably frustrating that these videos about the final of each basho come out before NHK have even aired the final day in the UK. Can you please, please ask that even if the other days are always 24 hours behind here, that the last day is put up on the day it takes place?
Terunofuji Is A Much Nicer Yokozuna Than Hakuho Sho Or Asashoryu. He Seems To Have Lost A Lot Of Weight Too. But He Should Retire Now While He’s Ahead.

Hear, hear!!! Their mishandling of international promotion of the Sport is shameful, and embarrassing.
While I'd love to see Takanosho smiling from ear to ear as he receives the cup, this is such a well deserved victory for a great Yokozuna!
Finally got to see him smile and hear him speak. Like him a little more now. What a movie his whole story would make.
Very inspirational 🎉
finally? Teru is always smiling! there's even video of him singing in a recording studio
@@Majesticon
That's cool 👌
@@joannaedwards6325 i think so? i love watching rikishi just hanging out and being normal
It's great to see Terunofuji achieve his dreams. He earned it!
Brilliant result for Terunofuji, I'm so glad he reached his target of 10. I hope Takanosho can keep up this standard of Sumo, he could get to the top the way he fought this basho
Takanosho looked amazing this basho, especially up against the sanyaku. Hope he can keep that up and push forward
Terunofuji is the third Mongolian Dai Yokozuna! The other two are Great Asashoryu and Hakuho!
Harumafuji probably would have been able to become one if not for the scandal since he had just won his 9th.
@@megamonster1234 yes, you are right!
Love Ura, he is great. Takanosho is amazing! Congratulations to Terunofuji!
Amazing effort by Ura. Congrats to Terunofuji!
yeah the Ura match was amazing.
The story of Terunofuji is so inspirational, glad to see him get his 10th win!
Congratulations to the great Yokozuna Terunofuji 👏🤴🏼You nearly gave your fans a heart attack but know that we were with you all the way. Your courage and dignity is an example and inspiration to so many🥰
Congratulations dai-yokozuna!
Congratulations to Yokozuna Terunofuji!
Still sad that Yokozuna Harumafuji was stopped at 9 Yushos and therefore not becoming a dai Yokozuna :(
Harumafuji really did that to himself.
With his bad knees, I never thought that he would win ten yusho, great performance.
It's good to see a smile on Terunofuji's face as he always seems so serious when he's on the dohyo. How much longer will he continue to compete, you have to wonder?

@@FrisbeeTF2 since he won the basho, the JSA won't accept his resignation even if he planned to retire after Nagoya24.
@@Auspexx Is that because he's the only Yoko? We saw Hakuhō retire on a win
If not by injury, I think he will sitting around till acquired elder stock. Current banzuke doesn't has any guys who can dominate like him yet, so it's unlikely the JSA will want him retire.
Biggest suprise in this basho was Takanosho Well done

Thank you this was a great progression showing the yokozuna's hard fought victory.
amazing to see teru win. what an amazing champion and story. has inspired me so much in life.
I was there, first time watching live, and it was incredible !!! I loved it, i will come back for sure !!
So happy to see Yokozuna Terunofuji's 10th Triumph! The imperfection of his hard-fought battle made this Yusho even sweeter! Congrats Teru!!!🥰😻
Takanosho must be very pleased with his kinboshi and such a good record for a Maegashira 6!!
Terrific series; well earned. It was even more satisfying to have a sudden death playoff match instead of a simple win. Avenging a loss and winning a considerable honor.
As a Mongolian you're my favorite SUMO channel!
Much love from me and my family!
Cool, as a non-Mongolian, I also like this channel.
Congrats to the Sumo champ. He is so humble. All the best in future events. Lol from the Pacific.😊😊💪💪💪👍👍👍👏👏👏👐👐

Thx Morita San
Very cool. Thanks for the coverage of the event!

Thanks for the summary of the Nagoya Basho!
It was an incredibly memorable tournament. Terunofuji had promised his fans at a pre-tournament rally that he would achieve his first victory in Nagoya and his 10th overall, and he delivered brilliantly!
The King is back!!! Looking forward to visiting from the US to see him live in September hopefully 🤞🏻 🙏 !! Excited !!

This tournament was more exciting than anything I’ve seen all year 🤌🏾
Atamifuji seems to be the only person I've ever seen make Teru crack an honest smile, absolutely loved that part! Banzai!
Thank you!!
I started following sumo this year, and all the Bashõs have been thrilling. Congratulations, Terunofuji.
That Ura match was great!
Terunofuji's kesho-mawashi is so metal. \m/
Great matches… I like Terunofuji style of sumo.
Thanks I Love the gamesmanship, beautiful! California here💕🕊🙏🏻🧂🇺🇸
Thumbs up high from Arizona, USA !!! Teru is the best again…….
It really was one for the ages. So many intriguing storylines developed
Congratulations DaiYokozuna Terunofuji!!!! What an exciting finale!
takanosho has the best win in the tournament, frontal shoving the yokozuna out like that is incredible
Congratulations champion!!!! Greetings from Amsterdam!
Teru deserves the title because he was tought by his mentor Hakuho the Greatest🔥...From Philippines w/ Love❤️
What a great tournament this was!
Congratulations! Great tournament! 😎🤙

Takanosho was on fire this basho. Hiradoumi was great as well in his first tournament as a Komusubi. The Beast reigns supreme, though.
Best fighting I saw in years
You can tell the Great Yokozuna has the power! He also doesn't fall for the nimble men, staying at them! Only some strong, big fellows can even compete!
Got his 10 Yushos. Good for him.
