It'd be hilarious if, just like in Sumo, the Yokozuna saw that they wouldn't have a winning record even if he fought and was like: "oh, I hurt my pinky, can't fight."
That said, Hanayama is usually good fun to watch so looking forward to that.
I'm expecting a loss now for our boys, because the next sumo wrestler is clearly based on an actual active (and highly popular) wrestler. Same goes for Honoo who is in the fifth fight. I'd be surprised if the author has the balls to make those two lose.
Love to see the different personalities of the different rikishi that appeared. Kyogei's got a bit of a childish playful side to him, Taketsurugi is super humble and polite, and from what I can see Shachihoko is definitely exciteable and high-energy. I only wish we couldve seen more of this when they fought the MMA guys from before
Kinryuuzan saying "if we get one more win, the worst we could do is a tie" is a hell of a defeat flag
then again I thought something similar with the way Shibukawa was talking prior to that fight yet he was fine, so maybe Haneyama will be alright
