Fujiryoga starts out dominant but Oshomi manages to push back until Fuji puts one mighty right hand on his shoulder and spins him 180 degrees and shoves him out from there.
Tamawashi had Wakanosho on the bales but Waka parried a thrust and danced around to shove Tama out.
Shishi's 0-5 against Hakunofuji in overall matches, but today Shishi finds and angle and gets Haku to the edge, and although he survives the initial throw attempt Shishi doesn't let up and takes him across the ring and puts him on the clay with yoritaoshi.
Abi's goes for a pull down off the tachiai against Nishikifuji, but he needs another one as an immediate followup to seal the deal and send Nishi flying out.
Seems like Ura looks for some kind of two handed arm drag during the tachiai, but he misses and ends up facing away from Asahakuryu. He spins back quickly while simultaneously catching Asa's arm which he uses to drag past himself and gets a rear position for a force out. A lot of action packed into 5 seconds of sumo here.
Oshoma breaks a stalemate against Chiyoshoma with a big overarm throw that takes Chiyo off his feet.
Fujiseiun finds his footing after the tachiai and takes Wakamotoharu to the bales, but WMH recovers and drives across to the opposite side where Fuji pivots just before the edge with an underhook beltless throw that sends WMH's foot out.
Gonoyama makes good use of throat thrusts to keep Shodai moving around the ring and eventually out.
Good slaps between Yoshinofuji and Daieisho (after Yoshi's first false start), but then Yoshi gets a grip on the rear of the belt and hefts Daieisho over the straw with a rear push out.
Takanosho slaps Wakatakakage down after the initial tachiai, breaking WTK's undefeated streak.
Lots of shoving all over the ring by Kotoshoho and Oho but Koto finally gets a rear belt grip and gets the rear push out.
Fujinokawa gives Atamifuji a hard face slap off the tachiai but the big man locks up his arm and then takes an outside belt grip to take Fuji out. Initially looked like Atami gives a big post match shove that sends Fuji off the side of the ring, but on a different angle Fuji's feet were still hanging on the straw.
Hiradoumi hangs on for a bit on one leg against Kirishima's throw but tumbles in the end.
Kotozakura looks in control of most of the match against Ichiyamamoto but eventually Ichi finds his footing and slowly gains ground with shove after shove until he pushes out the big ozeki.
Basho looks exciting after day 5. Kirishima and Kotoeiho stand alone undefeated with a bunch of wrestlers just behind at 4-1.
Seems like Ura looks for some kind of two handed arm drag during the tachiai, but he misses and ends up facing away from Asahakuryu. He spins back quickly while simultaneously catching Asa’s arm which he uses to drag past himself and gets a rear position for a force out.
Not only that. Ura did a 360 degree spin IN FRONT OF Asahakuryu's charge. On a close look, you're right, Ura grabs Asahakuryu's arm and uses it to kinda Tarzan-swing himself around. Freakin genius.

Ura is always fun to watch (and study too. Quick on feet and also in head, Ura is.
