I'm glad Hoshoryu finally won a tournament. He has been very consistent and deserved the promotion as well.

[@xxxqwertxxx]

He threw Asanoyama like a sack of potatoes. A thing of beauty.

[@Ric_Vicious]

Ever since his match against... (I forget, lol) whoever last year where he PULLED HIS ARM AWAY from rocketing toward the ground, hitting his face on the GD dohyo. It went to a torinaoshi, and he hip tossed the opposition just like he did to Asanoyama. Ever since then, I've been a hardcore fan of Golden Boy. The man means business!!!

[@mudswim]

Are you married beautiful woman?

[@CherryBlossomskt]

10:07 I cried so much seeing Hoshoryu cry. He’s usually so stoic. It was so refreshing to see him break down just a little bit. Much deserved. What a champion you are.

[@Fuu_Sho]

Agree, he is the first rikishi I watched every professional bout of. When I heard asashoryu's nephew turned pro I just had to follow him from the very beginning in division 6. You could already see there that he will go very far. From the active rikishi is he by favorite.

[@furrybogard9724]

Wow! His technique is SO solid. It's very refreshing to see a Rikishi not only use brute force and muscle, but textbook maneuvers as well. That was a treat.

[@countstoneula]

Agreed! Apparently he did jujitsu before sumo. It’s amazing to see what a well rounded rikishi he is because of it. You never know what he’s going to do. That Asanoyama is a great example, even seeing it again for the second time in this video it caught me off guard.

That would be something else if Hoshoryu and Hakuoho both made YZ and had a years long rivalry.

Congrats to Hoshoryu on the win and promotion to Ozeki! He's been a long time favorite of mine. I love his intensity and drive. You can tell that he puts everything into each match. It was moving to see his emotions come out after the playoff victory. Very strong fighting spirit. I hope he will continue onto many championships and go on a Yokozuna run in 2024!

[@Corn-Pop.]

That Kirishima match was great. The match between the Ozeki who got there last basho vs the brand new one is exactly how it should be.

[@MyselfTheThird]

May I suggest an ongoing series about sumo's various outliers? Wrestlers that were either notable for their sheer size, or wrestlers that went against the traditional conventions of what makes a successful rikishi and how they overcame said obstacles. Absolute units like Konishiki who fought their way to ozeki and the challenges he faced being the first foreigner to achieve the rank, or smaller rikishi like Takanoyama (who got me into sumo) or more recently Enho. Sumo is a sport rooted in such tradition and heritage with such an emphasis being put on stringent uniform training, which makes it all the more intriguing when outliers appear. It would be neat to see them highlighted in some way.

[@amphimixis]

Hoshoryu will be our next yokozuna. Then Asanoyama, as long as his bicep heals.

[@quackkuryu4680]

Serious question, if Hoshoryu wins the next tournament, will he make Yokozuna? Considering he's now Ozeki and winning double in a row.

Likely not. The minimum requirement is two consecutive yusho *at* Ozeki level. So if he wins both September and November basho then yes.

[@Leo_prado]

So, what's the point if there's no way for western audience to watch full tournaments legally? As you're an official rep of the japanese sumo association which this channel is, can you shed some light on this? What's going on?

[@tvbox6955]

Why are there no foreigners among the gyogi?

[@rantanen1]

Just like everything in Sumo, people tend to get into it very very young, and the gyojis join and are part of a stable just the same as the wrestlers and are ranked. Foreigners move to Japan to be sumo wrestlers, but I don't think many are interested in moving to Japan at an early age and starting from the bottom to be a gyoji, nor do people get scouted by coaches to become gyoji either. I don't really think there is much appeal in moving to Japan as a teenager to try to be a gyoji, there also isn't that many of them. Stables have an average of one gyoji, some have a couple and some have none.

[@elenas9216]

Hoshoryu is a great rikishi and deserves to win. However, on the first day he and Tobizaru were too close and if the benefit of doubt was given, it should had been given to both. Also, I believe it was this time that Hoshoryu first touched the dohyo with his hand, which was seen well on the slow motion replay then. No one knows how the action would go if he lost his very first fight in July… I just hope he will be able to support this his title with many more…

I’ve seen the judges rob Hoshoryu a few times in mono ii. This time it went his way.

[@youremakingprogress144]

I love Hoshoryu's style of sumo and I hope he has great success, but the replays clearly show that he touched the ground before Tobizaru on the first day. If the match had been awarded accurately, Hoshoryu wouldn't have been eligible for a playoff against Hokutofuji and he wouldn't have had enough wins to make Ozeki. I hope he performs well in the next basho and shows that he just got the promotion a little early. It still sucks for Hokutofuji to have his rightful championship stolen from him by a bad call, though.

[@jimtroyan3458]

This is wrong; judges correctly determined that Tobizaru was in an unrecoverable position before Hoshoryu's fingernail hit the clay. Would be ridiculous to lose a match that way. Good thing the judges were on their game.

[@chadhagans6687]

2:13 Day 1 Hoshoryu touchs down first, hand touched, but was missed by shinpan and goygi. Should’ve had one less win. That changes the entire tournament if they get that correct. Hakuoho very well could’ve been champion
