Don Don san, thank you so much for the coverage! You’re the best! A humble request: could you add the historic record of bouts between the two rikishi to your pre-bout graphics? As in Onosato 3-5 Hoshoryu, for example
It's incredible. I was away from sumo for a second, I didn't understand his previous success. Now I see it. He's very smart. He never misses a chance to capitalize on the smallest mistake from the opponent.
Well main takeaways from today: -Ura keeps trying his move lol -Koto has to have gotten injured or something because its like he lost his strength -Takerufuji and Hoshoryu are hot on the heels of Kinbozan -Despite his weak start Kirishima is really getting into it
@@turboldsukhtumur9377 I think that changed as he climbed into the higher ranks. It might just be me, but I’ve noticed often the lower rank guys seemed to be the ones waiting… unless they are former Ozeki or something. In today’s match, maybe it is because he reached Ozeki first. Perhaps I’m way off…. But it’s fun to speculate nonetheless.
@@turboldsukhtumur9377 Scared? That's the culture that has been set by yokozuna in recent years and it's being mirrored to this day. Before he made Ozeki, he did what you want to see him do, but that's not him anymore. He's earned it and also regularly enforces that with his persona.
@@turboldsukhtumur9377 It's all good! It's just a common misunderstanding. You should've seen that temperament in the beginning. With uncle being an equally charismatic and notorious yokozuna, he was entering the ring under a big shadow. He embraced it and it allowed him to flourish once he found his footing. He pulled back on the young rebel persona and is slowly transitioning to the grizzled vet. Now, we just have to see if he stays the barrier to entry or becomes the mountain to be climbed.
That kubinage was a thing of beauty. I can't get enough of Hosh's intimidating war face. He seems like he never smiles, even if we know that isn't true. Finish the job, Hosh!!
@@yulusleonard985 Is that true? It's interesting he got hit in the jaw the other day and it was bothering him. I would say it's smart. I never saw his mouth guard.
@@JK-nh6jp Saw it last year on the final day when Kirishima and Takakeisho still ozeki but no Teru on the list. He rearange his mouthguard while waiting other ozeki fight. Shishi lost his tooth last year and its so panful that it ruin his entire season.
@@josephmayer2565 There was a mono-ii. Still, I agree. It was so close I thought they may have a torinaoshi, as well. I knew they had the call right, Abi literally lost by two frames but the call was the correct one.
@KapitanStav he's injured, he had his knee heavily wrapped. No, he won't be back to the same form. Once a Rikishis knees start getting banged up, it's pretty much a death sentence for there career. With it happening early in his career, it's worse.
@@TyVince-p6r i dont think its injury or hed mentioned it (i could be wrong). I think Koto is crumbling from the pressure of failing and letting his fans down. Some wrestlers use the pressure to their advantage and accel, but some just crumple and spiral downwards
Great Top 5 picks DonDon. Giving the viewers what they want. Thank you. There were a few quick matches today. A strong attack-minded Takerufuji just beats retreating Abi. Hoshoryu very impressive lining up Onosato for the throw. The title is still in his sights. Pity his mini slump mid basho has probably cost his yokozuna chances. Hoshoryu vs Takerufuji tomorrow...Hoshoryu favourite imo. Great fight between Kirishima and Takayasu. Kirishima staying cool, mixing it up and finally outlasting Takayasu. Kinbozan has bounced back so well to still lead. I thought nerves would get to him but he is finishing bouts before he has time to think. Kinbozan vs Kirishima tomorrow. Big fight and I have to favour Kinbozan seeing how much trouble Kirishima has with similar sized fighters like Onosato, Terunofuji etc. Can Kirishima show he belongs with the big boys again and prove me wrong (again😂)? Whatever happens, the basho is going to be decided on the final day. Looking forward to it.
@asadabdullaev8804 He is on a great winning streak, certainly. He is one of, if not the best, technician out there. I just think Kinbozan can beat Kirishima regardless. It would be a more interesting basho if Kirishima can overcome the size disadvantage.
Abi fought smart against Takerafuji, he just ran out if space. Takerafuji reminds me of those old cartoon bulldogs with the huge upper bodies and tiny little legs.
Kirishima steppin up BIG this basho! 10 wins ina row! Hoshoryu's sumo seems to be a good counter to Onosato. Damn, I did not see Kinbozan at 11-2 for this tourney!
Yeah, I like Hosh and tbh, the most dangerous fighter besides him is Kiri right now. I have been cheering Kinbozan's recent success, but I feel that he may fall short despite having this late lead. We will see...
I love how NHK bans sumo channels but then deliberately releases slowly, so we keep looking to alternatives. They could fix it, but they just.... dont.
Ya knew Hoshoryu was gonna win from the eager way he walked onto the dohyo, the way he was slapping his mawashi. That dude was pumped to kick someone's sass.
To change his luck To inspire him to fight harder To say Goodbye to that sissy aqua/green belt ???we really don't know....unless the sumo gossip (Chris sumo) knows. 🤔
@ The Doyo did a video detailing Yoko promo history since 6 basho format, and the minimum standard has been 1 yusho, 1 jin-yusho and 26 wins minimum. If the JSA is desperate to have a Yoko, and he pulls of a playoff win it two the MAYBE. The judges will be regretting the blown false start call on Abi that may have given him 14 wins in November. We shall see. Someone besides Hosh will need to beat Kimbo otherwise another jin-yusho will not cut it.
Kotozakura being pushed around like he only weighs 100 pounds. Either he’s being paid to lose or has an injury. Hard to escape the ozeki curse of non stop partying and women after the promotion I guess. Looking shaky from the start. Didn’t think nephew was gonna stop onosato after he tried to push him and hit the wall in the beginning; no one’s gonna be pushing onosato backwards any time soon,
What a fight between Takayasu and Kirishima. This Victory was earned. If i watch Kotozakura something is wrong. I have a fighting Background, and if i see his body language i speculate an injury or mentalety Problems. I hope he finds his strenght in the next Tournament. Hoshoryu is from my perspective the most dominant and technic fighter at the Moment. Thank you DonDonSumo 🙏
It's obvious he has an injury on his left leg. He started wearing some kind of band around his knee, but he sill can't fully use that leg. He had better retired from the tournament earlier, and start healing instead of making it worse.
@@PhilippensTube He's worn tape on that left knee for a while, but during this tournament it's been upgraded to a bandage so the problem has apparently worsened. Now that he is M-K I hope he drops out and rests it before it gets even worse.
Even with a 12-3 win, the greyhairs on the YDC will probably deny Hoshoryu's promotion. But... a 12-3 Yusho or JY plus a dominant Yusho in March should be enough to get that belt. This basho is all about Kinbozan. He's already in line for all the prizes plus a huge bump up the banzuke.
Koto is NOT himself, n his injuries wd end his career earlier than expected ! Onosato blows hot and cold, n today he wrestles like a revruit - can forget abt promotion during this year too 😮
Looks like the Takerufuji win should have been Mono-ii - Abi's heel didn't look like it was out on the rope and the push from Takerufuji put the top of his toe on the clay before Abi was out. Toranaoshi
Well i was wondering about Kotozakura He’s injured on his left leg, I read from Japanese fans comments 💔😢😔. Kotokaze today said in his commentary, that because is a kind person, he thinks a lot about silly things like, how he will cause trouble and disappoint everyone if fails to yusho and the tsuna. He’s not going kyujo because he’s worried about letting people down
His career is basically over now. Once they start getting their knees banged up, it's a long downhill fall. Unless he has mental fortitude like Terunofuji, he won't ever make Yokozuna now.
Kotozakura can't even stand up straight. I don't know why he's been participating the last week or so. Free win for Kinbozan. Kirishima will bring him back to earth tomorrow. Hoshoryu still on track to win without really impressing. Big match with Takerufuji tomorrow. The weak era continues.
@ yeah of course. He improvises well and is more consistent lately, but he has to win quick. If it becomes a test of strength, he's usually in trouble. I still remember his bout with Shodai back a week or so ago. He looked like a little child up against an adult. Atamifuji also beat him with power. I still think he is the most likely to win this basho.
onosato is so dumb, how do you lose 4 times in the same way? stop running forward like an idiot, how hard can it be? not to talk about that other idiot kisenosato, what's he even there for?

Torneo muy interesante, creo que habrá playoff.
Man, Kimbozan really hated Juryo. He came back like "I am never returning there!"
It wasn't even competitive there for him. He just ripped right through them.😅
Boy treated it like getting sent to the G-League. "You will never do this to me again"
Hoshoryu is in *BEAST* mode 👹
Hoshoryu almost introducing a new technique: decapitenage
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂

Hahaha😂
Happy to see Kiri back in shape
It's incredible. I was away from sumo for a second, I didn't understand his previous success. Now I see it. He's very smart. He never misses a chance to capitalize on the smallest mistake from the opponent.
Some of the best tsuppari defence I think!
Thank you for posting!
great robes on referee!!! is it one or many ? different for each bout!!!
Well main takeaways from today:
-Ura keeps trying his move lol
-Koto has to have gotten injured or something because its like he lost his strength
-Takerufuji and Hoshoryu are hot on the heels of Kinbozan
-Despite his weak start Kirishima is really getting into it
Koto can't even bend his knees, even mildly. Of course he's injured. That he's won a handful of bouts in spite of it is respectable in retrospect.
Koto is very obviously injured, he didn't have his left knee wrapped to make a fashion statement.😑
Koto is 100% injured. Notice how he cant put any weight on his taped up leg vs Kinbozan
I love when they slap their Mawashi
Hoshoryu's sumo is always so satisfying to watch

hoshoryu next yokozuna 💪
All my favs are doing fine. Kirishima, Mr. Takayasu, Hoshoryu, Winbozan... I just miss Atamifuji real energy.
OK, maybe not significant but Tobizaru v Atamifuji was awesome
What a nightmare for Kotozakura. Hoshoryu is definitely looking more like Yokozuna material than either of the other Ozeki.
Hosh looked like he wants to separate Onosato's head from his body
the extra belt slaps at the beginining making sure the whole arena knew he was there for business
That kubinage was a thing of beauty. I can't get enough of Hosh's intimidating war face. He seems like he never smiles, even if we know that isn't true. Finish the job, Hosh!!
he wears mouthguard, only few do that.
Outside of the ring he seems completely different. Watching him solve a rubics cube, grinning in his glasses is also a thing of beauty.
It was. Onosato loves getting thrown by Hoshoryu, apparently. He's addicted to it.
@@yulusleonard985 Is that true? It's interesting he got hit in the jaw the other day and it was bothering him. I would say it's smart. I never saw his mouth guard.

Takayasu and Kirishima put on a show. That was a great match.
It was great sumo!! Reminded me of the old days.
Papayasu aint finished yet, hope he makes ozeki again before he retires
Great match, I was surprised the judges didn't discuss the finish. Or did they discuss it and the replay didn't show it. Looked very close.
@@josephmayer2565 There was a mono-ii. Still, I agree. It was so close I thought they may have a torinaoshi, as well. I knew they had the call right, Abi literally lost by two frames but the call was the correct one.
Love seeing HenkAbi get thrown out.
Hoshoryu! Kotozakura has to be injured. He is completely flat.
Praying for hoshoryu to win, I just love his sumo.
❤ 💋 🙏 GoldenBoy!
KOTOZAKURA YOU’RE KILLIN ME MAN
Clearly overwhelmed with expectations and cannot deal with the stress. He'll be back though.
@KapitanStav he's injured, he had his knee heavily wrapped. No, he won't be back to the same form. Once a Rikishis knees start getting banged up, it's pretty much a death sentence for there career. With it happening early in his career, it's worse.
@@TyVince-p6r i dont think its injury or hed mentioned it (i could be wrong). I think Koto is crumbling from the pressure of failing and letting his fans down.
Some wrestlers use the pressure to their advantage and accel, but some just crumple and spiral downwards
Im going for kinbozan. Even if he doesn't win the yusho, he deserves respect for his hard work just as much as the others
He will be komusubi or even sekiwake soon. I could see him getting an ozeki promotion by May if he keeps it up
Great Top 5 picks DonDon. Giving the viewers what they want. Thank you.
There were a few quick matches today.
A strong attack-minded Takerufuji just beats retreating Abi.
Hoshoryu very impressive lining up Onosato for the throw. The title is still in his sights. Pity his mini slump mid basho has probably cost his yokozuna chances.

Whatever happens, the basho is going to be decided on the final day. Looking forward to it.
Around day 7 I thought there is a chance for Kirishima to win it all, hope he does not disappoint
@asadabdullaev8804 He is on a great winning streak, certainly. He is one of, if not the best, technician out there.
I just think Kinbozan can beat Kirishima regardless.
It would be a more interesting basho if Kirishima can overcome the size disadvantage.
Hoshoryu is the Best!
I love ura but when is someone gonna say you have to stop rushing in with your head down so low
Yeah, Oho saw him coming this time and gradually introduced his face to the clay
My wife said much the same when we watched this match! God, I love that woman!
Is Kotozakura's leg that fucked up?
Abi fought smart against Takerafuji, he just ran out if space. Takerafuji reminds me of those old cartoon bulldogs with the huge upper bodies and tiny little legs.
Roids, bro. Other people have noted the startling transformation of his upper body since last year and look at his traps.
His "tiny little legs" are probably twice the size of yours (and everybody else's). They look tiny just because he's a barrel waist up
@PingoloPangolo I'm built pretty much the. Broad and wide up top to where my legs look small but compared to others, they aren't that small.
Takerufuji.
@@TyVince-p6r to think about, are the wrestlers checked for PED?
Hoshoryu is aggro!
Kirishima steppin up BIG this basho! 10 wins ina row!
Hoshoryu's sumo seems to be a good counter to Onosato.
Damn, I did not see Kinbozan at 11-2 for this tourney!
Yeah, I like Hosh and tbh, the most dangerous fighter besides him is Kiri right now. I have been cheering Kinbozan's recent success, but I feel that he may fall short despite having this late lead. We will see...
LONG LIVE TOCHINOSHIN!
Takerufuji without injuries,is higher san yaku level.
Day 13 all the leaders of this Basho Won which means we are heading into a tight finish
I love how NHK bans sumo channels but then deliberately releases slowly, so we keep looking to alternatives. They could fix it, but they just.... dont.
Hoshoryu from the beginning of that fight and with the aggressive slapping of the mawashi shows he already had Onosato beat in his head
Damn that Kirishima takayasu match felt personal. If Kirishima could only have harnessed this energy from Day 1
Kotozakura clearly injured. Hes a shell of himself, in which case 5 wins doesnt seem so bad.
Nah. 8 is not too bad. And there are not enough fights left for him to snag kashekoshi😂
With his size, the knees can be an issue.
What. A. Throw.
Bad call on Abi
Ya knew Hoshoryu was gonna win from the eager way he walked onto the dohyo, the way he was slapping his mawashi. That dude was pumped to kick someone's sass.
Hoshoryu has beaten Onosato every time they've met except once. The path to a basho win for each of them goes through the other.
anybody knows why kotozakura is now wearing a black belt?
To change his luck
To inspire him to fight harder
To say Goodbye to that sissy aqua/green belt
???we really don't know....unless the sumo gossip
(Chris sumo) knows. 🤔
Kimbozan🇰🇿 continues to win!🔥✌️💪
Good luck Kimbo!🙏👌
Hoshoryu will knock him out
@@beautifulworld6163 you're late🤷🏻♂️😅 They have already fought!🔥💪
It’s Kinbozan not Kim and he will change his name to Kingbozan once he is Ozeki 🍤
Ia want a Kirishima Hoshoryu showdown in the final. Please, universe, make it happen! 🙏🏻
they fought already, Hosh won
I thought Hosh was supposed to get pasted by Onosato. What happened😂🤣
Onos fangirls have finally shut up.
Hosh making serious steps to Yokozuna with these wins.
@ The Doyo did a video detailing Yoko promo history since 6 basho format, and the minimum standard has been 1 yusho, 1 jin-yusho and 26 wins minimum.

Thank you DonDonSumo 🙏
No Kevin. You're wrong. Kinbozan is the dominant fighter this basho. Don't be blind
@@Music.cigars.2024 He might be dominant, but Kotozakure usually does not fly out of dohyo after such push
I think the same.

This basho is all about Kinbozan. He's already in line for all the prizes plus a huge bump up the banzuke.
If he wins 12-3 he's got the minimum requirement for promotion, but that's absolutely and rightfully not enough.
Kinbozan wins yusho right
If he wins both the upcoming matches.
Damn, there are so many interesting wrestlers nowadays
I will always miss HAKUHO no matter how many young guns keep comming.
To me, The GOAT was sumo.
He deserves to get his own stable back.
I’ve watched Hoshoryu with pride for years! This is his time! 74! 74! 74!
not this time, alas. In two or four months most likely (may?). He is very determined. Even with yusho Hosh won't be promoted after Hatsu bashyo.
I guess you relate to short arms and being light in the pants...to each his own I suppose.
I think it will be a play off for defining the champion 🏆
If Kinbozan loses next time I assume there will be more days so they can have one winner???
No. There will be extra matches at the end of day 15 if there's a tie.
Looked like a half henka by Abi.
Hoshoryu has some special way against Onosato...
Hoshoryu has the technique that Onosato lacks. Pushing and shoving isn't enough.
Hoshoryu the king in waiting 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kinbozan deserves respect ❤❤❤ he is probably still known as the "new kid on the block" but he has shown progression 😮
Nephew to rule soon..
Hoshoryu reminds me of Vegeta, and I love Vegeta.
Onosato never learns when he battles Hoshoryu. He always get thrown away
"BAH GAWD, IT'S TAKER.....TAKERUFUJI!"
Kinbozan beat 2 ozeki this yusho thats huge. Even if Koto looks off this yusho, hopefully nothing serious and just pressure/nerves.
Nephew!
Man koto just isn't in it this tournament
What is the biggest playoff ever?
TAKAYASU got robbed
Ozeki's are losing. This is all because we don't have any Yokozuna's aura left there
One Q to the experts - why was Kirishima's W ruled as Tsukiotoshi instead of smth like Hikkake / Hikiotoshi?
Koto is NOT himself, n his injuries wd end his career earlier than expected !
Onosato blows hot and cold, n today he wrestles like a revruit - can forget abt promotion during this year too 😮
Yep, Koto has already banged his left knee up pretty bad. That's a bad sign already.
Tomorow will be an antecipated yusho if Kimbozan wins
No. He's ahead only by one.
Hatsu Basho is down to a nail buting finish. It would have been even better had Kotozakura decided to show up. Thank you, Don Don.
Looks like the Takerufuji win should have been Mono-ii - Abi's heel didn't look like it was out on the rope and the push from Takerufuji put the top of his toe on the clay before Abi was out. Toranaoshi
It was Mono-II but conclusion was still Takerafuji winning.
Takerufuji was in forward, Abi in backward movement. That wasn't even close to Abi winning. The mono-ii was corrrctly decided pro Takerufuji.
I just love to see Abi back peddling out of the ring. Imo, he is a boring bully. 😝
His foot broke the plane first.
@@joannaedwards6325 🤣🤣i agree Abi is 👎
Arigato gozaimasu 🇦🇺💜🇯🇵🤘
Taker!!
Both kotozakuria and onosato have the size and strength, but lack of quick thinking sumo brain.
I have no ill will toward Kinbozan but I’m really hoping he takes a loss because I want that chaos.
🤡
COME ON HOSHORYU
Who pissed into Kirishimas breakfast on day four?
How many guys do we need to see falling from the dohyo and risking injury?
😂😂😂😂
Well i was wondering about Kotozakura He’s injured on his left leg, I read from Japanese fans comments 💔😢😔. Kotokaze today said in his commentary, that because is a kind person, he thinks a lot about silly things like, how he will cause trouble and disappoint everyone if fails to yusho and the tsuna.
He’s not going kyujo because he’s worried about letting people down
His career is basically over now. Once they start getting their knees banged up, it's a long downhill fall. Unless he has mental fortitude like Terunofuji, he won't ever make Yokozuna now.
Welp, that’s it then. Unless akin on an loses both his next bouts, he wins the tourney
Kotozakura can't even stand up straight. I don't know why he's been participating the last week or so. Free win for Kinbozan. Kirishima will bring him back to earth tomorrow.
Hoshoryu still on track to win without really impressing. Big match with Takerufuji tomorrow. The weak era continues.
I think Hoshoryu has been pretty impressive tbh but I guess it’s subjective opinion.
🤡😝
Hoshoryu not impressing ? I think he had the most spectacular wins so far
@ yeah of course. He improvises well and is more consistent lately, but he has to win quick. If it becomes a test of strength, he's usually in trouble. I still remember his bout with Shodai back a week or so ago. He looked like a little child up against an adult. Atamifuji also beat him with power. I still think he is the most likely to win this basho.
Hosh sumo very impressive this basho. Only one bad match.
Onosato needs better coaching or he will likely loose his Ozeki
onosato is so dumb, how do you lose 4 times in the same way? stop running forward like an idiot, how hard can it be? not to talk about that other idiot kisenosato, what's he even there for?
This worked so far, but high ranked rikishi eventually figured out
Kisenosato is a judge
Koto is light as a feather. What a poor showing
