Hello and welcome to another edition of SUMO PRIME TIME. Once again, I’d like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for tuning into the channel that offers in-depth coverage of Japan’s national sport. As we witnessed, the May Sumo Tournament turned into another wild and exciting competition, with the new Komusubi Onosato capturing his first Emperor’s Cup. The road to victory wasn’t as easy as it sounds for Onosato. Find out how he was able to overcome adversities and achieve the biggest triumph of his life. And, for those who can’t wait until the next grand tournament, make sure to join us during the entire month of June, as we’ll bring you more updates and features on wrestlers to get you fully ready for the July battle in Nagoya. Arigato and see you again soon!
I had to rewatch that match in slow motion about five times before I could begin to comprehend how Hoshoryu pulled that one off. Absolutely amazing technique on his end. The way he rotated his hips to get into throwing position was unlike anything I have ever seen!
I’m a new fan, and May was my first time watching a full tournament. Onosato, Kotozakura, Hoshoryu, and Takayasu really stood out to me. Looking forward to (hopefully!) seeing Terunofuji and Takerufuji in July
I came across Onosato for the first time at the last New Year tournament and straight away he became my favourite sumo wrestler. I just love the big fellows energy and he just comes across as a really good man. Wishing Onosato the absolute very best , good health and happiness , to him and his loved ones. 🙏❤ (Thank you @sumoprimetime for your wonderful Sumo content 🙏❤) Sending you best wishes from Scotland .
I tried to keep up on the May tournament, but NHK and the JSA keep going after the NattoSumo channel on RUclips and Rumble. Their daily summations of matches the top 3 divisions was a great tool for Ozumo fans outside of Japan. Instead of shutting down NattoSumo NHK and the JSA should hire him/her.
I think this next year will see some big changes with how much the current Oseki are underperforming. New rikishi with a greater hunger will lead to a changing of the guard at the top ranks.
It is soon Onosato and Takerufuji’s time if they stay healthy. Kotozakura and Hoshoryu better win some Tournaments and become Yokozuna before the young ones get really good.
See you in September, my friends. It will be a long journey from Brazil to Kokugikan, but I know it will be worth it. If somebody has a tip on where to buy tickets for the second week of the tournament, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks for another great piece of content and "Sayonara!"
Unfortunately it's probably because of the fact that there is no other yokozuna right now and there doesn't seem to be anyone within reach of that title among the current ozeki
I’m a new fan of sumo, and your comment excites me for the future. Had a great time watching the May tournament. Onosato, Kotozakura, Hoshoryu, and Takayasu stood out to me. I’m looking forward to seeing Terunofuji and Takerufuji healthy. It’s unfortunate, though, that I’m getting into the sport right after Hakuho’s retirement…
@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen320 thanks for your emulation mate :) As an "elder" in sumo (i guess since 15+years) this year is quite unique. The emergence of many good prospects and the end of an alpha dog can be very exciting. Who will be the true heir? we'll see. but clearly there is a gap to approach excellence that we saw in this millennia.
It's because his hair is not long enough for the ginko leaf that the other rikishi have. This is his first tournament with a top knot at all! It was exciting to see.
its been like that for like 5 years. none of the guys that have got to ozeki have done well at all. kotozakura looks the most promising and even he hasnt been fantastic
His fathers reaction to his win brings tears to my own eyes..
I was rooting for Onosato since he made it to top division. Glad he got it.
Dad tells stable: Dont cry if you win
also dad: cries in sheer happiness.. heheh wonderful wholesome :)

We need Akiseyama prime time!
If Onosato stays healthy and out of trouble he will be a Yokozuna in the near future.
I agree.
That hoshoryu loss must have been devastating but he bounced back like a true champ
I had to rewatch that match in slow motion about five times before I could begin to comprehend how Hoshoryu pulled that one off. Absolutely amazing technique on his end. The way he rotated his hips to get into throwing position was unlike anything I have ever seen!
I was rooting for Onosato the last 3 tournaments. So great to see him win and be promoted to Komusubi.
He was already a komusubi; he's definitely going to be promoted to sekiwake 😊
5:25 damn, that had to hurt to Daieisho
I’m a new fan, and May was my first time watching a full tournament. Onosato, Kotozakura, Hoshoryu, and Takayasu really stood out to me. Looking forward to (hopefully!) seeing Terunofuji and Takerufuji in July
...and Takakeisho.
@@javiercolombas5321 Sorry, I’m not too familiar with him. I believe a couple of the Ozeki were injured in May
This channel is fixing my sumo jones. Thanks❤

Chris sumo is a great channel in English
@@jaxdragon1723 I appreciate that , thank you & all the best.
I dont know if he's a good man; he got caught up in the drinking hazing scandel and got lucky to get out of it. But he is a good wrestler.
@@pinkpuffy2988 I think he is still very young. He will learn...
Exciting to see these younger rikishi doing so well!
wooooo the next turny is going to be so FIRE!. with the 2 new champs squaring off. love it.
I m happy for him, genuinely, tears of joy
I'll be watching Onosato's career with great interest.
Hopefully he doesn't follow the dark side, like Hokuseihō did.
ONOSATO❤❤❤

Great recap! This channel has been great to scratch my sumo itch lol
Thanks for an amazing resume, tried follow the basho but I missed some battles of my boy Onosato!
I think this next year will see some big changes with how much the current Oseki are underperforming.
New rikishi with a greater hunger will lead to a changing of the guard at the top ranks.
Takayasu is my fav! I like onosato and was only rooting against him in that match
6:50 monster uchimata! So happy for him.
Thank you for your sumo Onosato-san!! Hello from Canada
These videos are awesome 👌
Onosato is well on his way to becoming a Great Yokozuna!, great episode! SUMO PRIME TIME!
Sekiwake next tournament, then we'll see where they let him go from there! Wish it was easier to watch sumo in the US.
Ganbatte Onosato!! Really looking forward to seeing how he performs against Takerufuji at Nagoya Basho in July. Greetings from Missouri!
Next Ozeki?
It is soon Onosato and Takerufuji’s time if they stay healthy. Kotozakura and Hoshoryu better win some
Tournaments and become Yokozuna before the young ones get really good.
Watch him carefully at the tournaments, boys. We're watching the rise of an Ozeki. Maybe even a Yokozuna.

its wild Terunofuji is not retired yet
Unfortunately it's probably because of the fact that there is no other yokozuna right now and there doesn't seem to be anyone within reach of that title among the current ozeki
It was just a matter of time!
Rope Run
guy is well known even up here in Canada, hes a legend now and maybe we will see him as Rikishi if not a Yokozuna.
He is a rikishi, I think you meant ozeki.
We are in a transition era, exciting but clearly weak regarding the level of sumo.
future years will show more i guess.

BIG O...PRIME TIME!
“Komothubi Onothato”
Does this mean Onosato can get promoted again?
Hiro-san, Onasato's hair style is different from other wrestlers. Is it because of the category?
It's because his hair is not long enough for the ginko leaf that the other rikishi have. This is his first tournament with a top knot at all! It was exciting to see.
Justice for Soseizan💔
ONOSATO, YATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAKKEOI!!!!!!!!
He got real lucky he didn't belong in Hakuho's beya or he would be retired by now.
Agree 100%, but boy is he a force to be reckoned. PURE talent
not to take anything away from the guy, but he was up against much weaker competition with a broken yokozuna and two messed up ozeki
its been like that for like 5 years. none of the guys that have got to ozeki have done well at all. kotozakura looks the most promising and even he hasnt been fantastic
Your commitment to eventually getting these recaps to us is . . . Unremarkable.
This channel took a nose dive
He’s a bully.
