I was just concerned for Meisei’s health after his dramatic return after surgery.

Well then you've probably already seen Shishi henka Meisei. It's pretty funny to see Shishi do that, since he's such a big guy, I wouldn'ta thought he could jump out of the way so fast.

The ending of Tamawashi - Fujinokawa was kinda hilarious. Pushes him out with his eyes.

ikr he was like: "dont MAKE me push you out harder!"

relative to Oshoma’s left foot which left ground just a frame or two before Hiradoumi hit

I dunno, both of the camera angles I look at make it seem like Oshoma left the ground BEFORE Hiradoumi hit. Maybe there's some camera angle where it shows Hiradoumi hit first. I'm more willing to believe the refs messed up in this case.

😮 my face during Takayasu-Yoshinofuji! Just wow!

Yah that was epic, I cheer for both those guys tho I was favoring Takayasu in that one.

I watched it in slowmo and I still don’t understand how >!Aonishiki teleported behind Hoshoryu.!<

Even before that, I still don't quite believe how Aonishiki defeated Kotozakura. Once K. had him in that grip I thought it was over. The newspaper article you linked to pointed out that A. feinted towards the leg, then when K. shifted his weight, A. pulled him down (while backing up!) That was on another level.

Then came the Hoshoryu bout. The article you cite calls it "a duck under like that seen in Olympic wrestling" which I guess makes sense bc A. has a background in Olympic-style wresting, right? Look at A's right foot just before he circles around. Note that it's pointed off to the side.

When he positioned that foot, he was already setting up to sling himself around H., while H. thought they were going to be slapping for a while longer. H. was just out-classed and one step behind. The whole match was over in 5 seconds.
