We are so fortunate to be able to watch the Yokozuna in such great form, even at this stage of his career. I think we should enjoy every bout while we can!

Pretty much what u said Jason. Teru is in his head. Love from the South! 🐊

Jason Harris

I'm not so sure. I think someone will rise to the challenge and by the end of 2025 we'll have a new Yokozuna

Jason Harris

i agree - it has been disappointing. My guess is some injury is at the root cause of his inability to fight at the level that got him to ozeki in the first place. I do wonder if he will ever be an ozeki again

Jason Harris

yes, it will be interesting to see who rises to the top in the next few years to assume the mantle of Yokozuna and how they fare at the rank

Shawn Chidester

Jason, you are the reason I watch sumo. Can't say it enough: Thanks for doing what you do!

Brad Day

Teru is a new man! Glad to see him back in action.

Barb

That armlock is incredible!

It’s going to be a long time before we see another Yokozuna

Dave

Thanks for these!

Dom Guido

Yeah, I don't know if I expected better from Kirishima in this match, but I certainly expected more from him in this basho. I really thought, when he made ozeki, that he was poised to go on a run, but he really seems to have sputtered.

SP Bizzy

Yeah…Kirishima is never beating Terunofuji.

Shawn

Thank you Jason.

The way Terunofuji thew Kirishima to the clay was almost as forceful as his pushout the last time those two fought. There is almost an element of, not enough, come back stronger, again and again and again!

IvanTheOkay

These are always the highlight of my morning, thank you Jason, much love

I'm hoping Onosato gets to that level with more experience. We will see.

Jarret Smith

Onosato has a chance of beating Teru if he shows up strong and not tentative like he was today

RyuKyuShogun

I'm starting to think that Sumo is in trouble, I know Terunofuji is a dominant Yokozuna, but I'm not seeing any consistent Sumo from anyone else to say, oh I see someone who can win 10 basho when they become one
