Shishi was a little overeager with the follow-up slap there after knocking Ura off balance. Great recovery by the limber one, but I'm not sure his low tachiai has been doing him many favors lately.
Oh wow when I first saw Ura-Shishi squaring up I had to pause, laugh, and say out loud: These two would make a great vaudeville comedy pair. This is the first time they've met professionally, and it was pretty good. I could happily watch at least a dozen bouts of these two fighting at 100%, a lot of interesting stuff would happen and I imagine it'd be good for both of them.
I've only watched DonDon's 10 so far, but I think NHK's English summaries updates around noon my time, so I'ma watch that sometime this afternoon.
It's kinda sad with so many faves out on injury - looks like Takayasu joined them for day 4 too (but good for them for taking time to recover!) Fujinokawa's bout was interesting, as was Yoshinofuji's. Kirishima-Ichiyamamoto was good. Oshoumi vs Roga had an fun throw. That's about it from what I've seen.

I don't have time to catch many of the matches today, so I'll check in again tomorrow at some point.
Let me know if any bouts stood out for you today ;)
