The one thing I've noticed about Onosato is that his focus in this tournament has been razor sharp, always ready to go and giving it his all. He is absolutely deserving of being a Yokozuna one day. I've been personally rooting for Wakatakakage the whole tournament and I'm happy for his hard fought win, his ability to adapt, overcome, and learn from previous losses is admirable.
Day 12 will stand out as a favorite of mine for some time. It seemed all my heros won and I wasn't sad about any of the losses. And to think, I actually forgot the basho had began for a couple days! Great sumo. Loving it!
Thanks for the great sumo match analysis! Your breakdown of the techniques and strategies was super insightful. Looking forward to more of your content
I love seeing Wakatakakage win, fully deserved! But if you were lucky enough to watch the NHK replay like me, see Onosato's face as he leaves the room with an incredible expression on his face. Onosato hates losing and wanted his 15-0. The rage was in his eyes. His attitude will most certainly make him the future Yokozuna. And by the way, we can see the same reaction from Waka when he loses. Two great Rikishi.
Thank you so much Don Don! I truly look forward to these daily updates from Dallas Texas USA! Thank you for processing them so quickly each day! Was very surprised to see Onosato lose his match- incredible strength and technique by his opponent.
What a amazing day this was. Hiradoumi vs Takayasu was the smaller Version against the grown up one, 10cm more and over 30kg differents. Takayasu is still a giant. Oho was great, Kiri took no prisoner and Watatakakage was simple not having it. Brillant defense by him against a giant onosato who almost mashed him down.
that Wakatakakage ending was like Rocky III where after taking all Clubber Lang had he comes back at the end of the round and disdainfully says, "You ain't so bad!"
He still has technique behind all that power, it's as much a testament to WTK's skills and power that he was able to recover from being literally on the ropes twice and especially managing to recover from the kubinage thrust down.
Thank for the quick highlights, Don Don. Another great day 12 of a sumo tournament. I doubted Wakatakakage today, but he showed me wrong and how. His body put to the test but he did not buckle. And the quick thinking for the reversal. Fantastic, the basho is back on now. Another amazing effort by Oho again. The desire is super strong in Oho to get to the next level. Poke him in the eye, exhaust him in the last bout and he STILL wins. Oho has Wakamotoharu next in a possoble playoff for a sanyaku place. Kirishima the stronger against ozeki Kotozakura too. He is right back in it to. 5 Great fights tomorrow (cheeky wishlist for Don Don 😋); Ura vs Tobizaru Oho vs Wakamotoharu Takayasu vs Daieisho Kirishima vs Hoshoryu Kotozakura vs Onosato
Both great, but in my impression Onosato did not switch to the 'hard shoulder' style as he is capable for. 99% of power is not enough if you are facing Wakatakakage.
What's up with all the henkas? We've had several now for three days in a row. Also that Wakatakakage vs Onosato bout was absolutely crazy, love to see it.
looks like onosato doesnt have any fans. everyone is rejoicing his loss😂 and onosato is yet to fight hoshoryu and kotozakura. they cannot let onosato win by giving him weak opponents in the last 3 days
If you watched them introduce the fighters beforehand he had the biggest cheer from the fans by far, he's like a celebrity. The fans were celebrating a great bout
Any rikishi who's on top of the leaderboard fights those who are in the yusho race with him and/or the higher ranked rikishis towards the end of the yusho, if he hasn't fought them earlier. Always. Had Terunofuji been fit, Onosato would have fought him too, most likely near the end. You want someone to win the cup after defeating only lower ranked maegashiras while dodging the ozekis yokozuna and the like?
Instead of showing the Mitaeumi/Kotoshoho match which was basically a nothing match, the Abi🥳/Hoshoryu match was of far more significance as the Ozeki lost a 6th match and could be in danger of losing his Ozeki rank! But, thank for posting these bouts! my opinion 🦂
Wakatakakage vs Onosato bout is worthy of a championship match, so good.
Amazing.
That was definitely the No. 1 match of the day for me. WTK's fancy footwork was *chef's kiss*.
I want to say bout of 2024!
💯
Wakatakakage was absolutely insane.
Thank you DonDon for your great work❤
I'm just going to pretend Onosato is a Yokozuna here. That performance from Wakatakakage is worthy of a Kinboshi and an Outstanding Performance prize.

The old Wakatakakage is back!
Wakatakakage's recovery was a sight to behold. Held my breath the entire time.
that was a fucking great piece of work! he was a step ahead the entire fight.
Please don't spoil the results of fights, especially the number 1 fight on the list.
@@Astrithor don't go to the comments first, stupid.
I feel it for onosoto, now wakatakakage and kirishima are breathing down his neck..😢
@@Astrithori recommend not going to the comments before watching the video or trying to hide them if you can see them at first
What a beautiful sumo play by WTK bruh is on fire 🔥
Wakatakakage being ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!
Thanks Don Don - really appreciate this
you can see onosato was in a hurry for that ozeki promotion
Aki Day 12 delivered! All kinds of great sumo and topped off with Onosato vs WTK. Probably the bout of the year.
Ever since that January bout, Kirishima has turned his shit on when facing Kotozakura
Thank you
Mr. Double Dee
What would we do
without you? ❤
Waka's reversal... just Wow!!! 😮😮
Yesss Wakatakakage! What a fight! Also, Takayasu and Kirishima! Awesome day

Man the sumo was tremendous today! Great bouts by everyone!

In the first 10 seconds of the match I literally said out loud “that’s it for him” (Waka)…. Man was I wrong. What a comeback!!!
Waka the legend is back!
It's great to see
I'm glad everyone is witnessing peak Wakatakakage. Just like Terunofuji, their main weakness is injury.
Thank you so much Don Don! I truly look forward to these daily updates from Dallas Texas USA! Thank you for processing them so quickly each day! Was very surprised to see Onosato lose his match- incredible strength and technique by his opponent.
You're the best Don Don
Double D!!
What a amazing day this was. Hiradoumi vs Takayasu was the smaller Version against the grown up one, 10cm more and over 30kg differents. Takayasu is still a giant.
Oho was great, Kiri took no prisoner and Watatakakage was simple not having it. Brillant defense by him against a giant onosato who almost mashed him down.
Oho may deserve a prize at the end of the tourny he has been going hard
a lot of skill shown by Wakatakakage in defeating the bigger and stronger Onosato.
he was a straight up Matador!
Toughness and strength as well. Survived the force out and thrust down, both of which, well done but WTK is back! What a great day of sumo.
Midorifuji's katasukashi vs Ryuden was brilliant as well.
Oho delivers top notch matches this time ✌🏾
Damn. I really wanted to watch this kid get a zensho yusho.
day 13 is 🔥
Kirishima vs Hoshoryu
Kotozakura vs Onosato
Oho my man! Wakatakakage is back!
Waka!
Good. Thanks.
that Wakatakakage ending was like Rocky III where after taking all Clubber Lang had he comes back at the end of the round and disdainfully says, "You ain't so bad!"
Wakatakakage!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Onosato relies on pure power. Wakatakakage used his skills to overcome Onosato.
He still has technique behind all that power, it's as much a testament to WTK's skills and power that he was able to recover from being literally on the ropes twice and especially managing to recover from the kubinage thrust down.
The yokozuna is out and the two ozeki are performing below par. They are making the path for Onosato to ozeki and yokozuna easy.
Thanks !! Wakatakakage is back !
Great wakatakakage..... Onosato next ozeki
Well deserved for Onosato for NEVER even trying to go for the Mawashi. His opponent did, and won. Get schooled big boy.
Thank for the quick highlights, Don Don.

Oho has Wakamotoharu next in a possoble playoff for a sanyaku place.
Kirishima the stronger against ozeki Kotozakura too. He is right back in it to.
5 Great fights tomorrow (cheeky wishlist for Don Don 😋);
Ura vs Tobizaru
Oho vs Wakamotoharu
Takayasu vs Daieisho
Kirishima vs Hoshoryu
Kotozakura vs Onosato
Both great, but in my impression Onosato did not switch to the 'hard shoulder' style as he is capable for. 99% of power is not enough if you are facing Wakatakakage.
El espíritu luchador de Waka es asombroso 😮😮gran pelea!!
Gotta watch out for them Waka boys!
The Waka Bros!
Waka ... wooooow!
What's up with all the henkas? We've had several now for three days in a row. Also that Wakatakakage vs Onosato bout was absolutely crazy, love to see it.
Wakatakakage is back!!
🐞
LONG LIVE DON DON!
So this is the Kirishima who made Ozeki. I've never seen him work like this before, but I'm new to the sport, only having watched since March!
It's great to see a henka get turned around 😊
Yeah..Kotoshoho did great there. Still improving.
Just a heads up, if you like henka reversals, DO NOT watch Abi Hoshoryu. You won't like it. 🙂
wakatakakake big W
Superb day of sumo, made several seemingly inevitable outcomes much less predictable. Also, go go go Takayasu!
Waka is no joke
Can we give an honorable mention to Abi😂😂. I don't know iw why but I busted out laughing after that match.
That was an epic clash between Onosato and WTK
Wow, the Waka brothers sure have some surprises up their sleeves. People seem to forget that Kage once lifted the emperor's cup.
I love Onasato...
I believed in Waka! Always find a way to win bouts where he is out gunned!
A very Impressive Win by Wakatakage-zeki👍👍💪💪.. For sure Onosato-zeki will be cautious next time👍👍.. Thanks for Videos, Don🙏🙏..
Wakatakakage!
I hope to see Hakuoho compete in the Makuuchi division soon😢
Kristina back ton Ozeki!!
I guess onosato will be crowned new ozeki
Letssss go Waka!
Sad 4 ohnosanto 😢
くそう!全勝優勝が無くなった。😑
NNNOOOOO! Onosato lost one.....devo.
yep best !
Waka!!!!
mitakumi losing was like watching the zoomers take over millennial culture
looks like onosato doesnt have any fans. everyone is rejoicing his loss😂 and onosato is yet to fight hoshoryu and kotozakura. they cannot let onosato win by giving him weak opponents in the last 3 days

Onosato ..... what the ..... hooow..... just hoooooowwww 🤦
Wakatakakage is zero Kelvin under pressure, that's how 😎
Instead of showing the Mitaeumi/Kotoshoho match which was basically a nothing match,
the Abi🥳/Hoshoryu match was of far more significance as the Ozeki lost a 6th match and could be in danger of losing his Ozeki rank!
But, thank for posting these bouts!

wtf moment!!!!!!
