Recap and statistics

NHK Full match videos

Note: NHK videos will be available on demand until 2 weeks after the end of the Basho (Tournament). After that, they will be removed from the site. They are usually available for on demand viewing about 1 day after the matches. Note that "highlights" means complete full match video of all daily Makuuchi matches.

NHK match highlights (condensed, all matches in their entirety, the highlights are 27 minutes long).

All NHK Video Highlights from one link (latest day should be uploaded by about 12:30 am Central Daylight Time the next day, i.e. Day 13 video should by available by 12:30 the next day. It might be available before that, so check).

----

Japan Sumo Association Youtube offers selected full matches on its Youtube and Website  channel. They are usually Makuuchi (Top Division) bouts, but sometimes there are Juryo (2nd Division) bouts as well. There is no commentary.

1. Terunofuji (Y1e) (10-2--11-2) v Takanosho (S1w) (6-6--6-7)  (Match Video) 

Terunofuji is on the left.

2. Mitakeumi (S1e) (10-2--11-2) v Abi (M6w) (10-2--10-3) (Match Video) 

Mitakeumi is on the left. 

3. Daiamami (J3e) (7-5--7-6) v Kitanowaka (J12w) (7-5--8-5) (Match Video)

Daiamami is on the left. This Juryo (2nd Division--salaried) match, while having no impact on the Yusho (Championship) race, did have implications for the March Banzuke (Rankings). Diamami, at his Rank, and with the situation in the lower Maegashira ranks in Makuuchi (Top Division), might have earned a promotion back to Makuuchi had he won today. He was demoted to Juryo after the July 2021 Basho. So he had great motivation to win, earn his Kachi-koshi (8 or more wins), and let the chips fall where they may. But he was derailed by 21 year old Kitanowaka, who earned his Kachi-koshi. However, even if he wins out (10-5), he will not be promoted to Top Division because his rank in Juryo (12 out of 14) is too low. Even if he had gone 15-0 and won the Yusho, he still would not have been promoted to Top Division. If he does win out, it may promote him to the top half of the Juryo Division, but he is probably at least two excellent Basho away from Makuuchi. Daimami will have two more chances to earn his Kachi-koshi, and, all things being equal, 9-6 looks better on the resume than 8-7. But 7-8, and he stays in Juryo. Simple, no?

SPECIAL SECTION ON LOWER DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS (INCLUDING DIRECT LINKS TO DIVISION 3-6 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES:

A Sumo Basho can be compared to an iceberg. Most of the mass of the Tournament resides "under water." The four bottom divisions--all non-salary (Makushita (3); Sandamne (4); Jonidan (5); Jonokuchi (6)) receive little Press or TV coverage (although Abema, a Japanese TV network, does televise many, if not all, lower Division matches). Top Division Rikishi make up only 70 of the 600-700 Rikishi involved in Basho. 

While there is still action in the Lower Divisions in the final two Days, all Lower Division Yusho (Championships), except for Sandamne (where there will be a playoff on Sunday) were decided today. Chris Sumo Youtube and Tachiai.org covered them all.

Below you will find links to these matches, to the participants, selected quotes, and full match videos.

----

MAKUSHITA--DIVISION 3 YUSHO: NISHIKAWA (M35e) (7-0)

Nishikawa defeated Ryuden (Ms5e) (6-1) by Hikiotoshi (Hand Pull Down).

Quotable: "I just didn't want him taking my belt. I ended up pulling, not good, but happily came out on top. Now to train hard and aim for Division 3 (Yusho) from my new, higher rank."

Full match video from another angle (OneLoveLulit Twitter)

Ryuden has a top knot.

Ryuden earned Juryo (2nd Division--salaried)  promotion even though he lost this Yusho match. His rank was high enough (barely) to get the promotion on his record alone. He is a long time ex-Makuuchi (Top Division) Rikishi and one time Komusubi (one of the Top Ranks) who is making his way back up after Covid restriction violations caused a 6 month suspension and demotion to M47w). This was Ryuden's only loss in two Makushita Basho.

---

SANDANME--DIVISION 4 YUSHO: THERE WILL BE A PLAYOFF BETWEEN Mukainakano (Sd81w) (7-0) and Osani (Sd19e).

Mukaiakano defeated Miyagi (Sd59e) (5-2) by Oshidashi (Frontal Push Out) 

Quotable: "I won because I moved well, and have trained well 

throughout."

Osani defeated Chiyodaigo (Sd73w) by Yorikiri (Frontal Force Out)

---

JONIDAN--DIVISION 5 YUSHO: ASAHANSHIN (Jd27w)

Asahanshin defeated Kawamura (Jd69w) (6-1) by Okuritaoshi (Rear Push Down)

Quotable: "It was good I could track his movement so well. True, my legs got slightly tangled at the end, but my spirit got me through. It was like opening night nerves, but I vowed to go on the attack come what may."

JONOKUCHI--DIVISION 6 YUSHO: NAKASHIMA (Jk16w) (7-0)

Nakashima defeated Nishikimaru (Jk4w) (5-2) by Oshidashi (Frontal Push Out)

B. Notable and Quotable

Notable: 

Injury News: 18 year old Koki (Jd30w--Jonidan--Division 5--non salaried) suffered a terrifying head injury when thrown off the dohyo (see Chris Sumo Youtube link above--the actual impact was not shown). He did not move and was stretchered off. His condition is unknown at this time. 

Myogiryu (M10e) has rejoined the Basho for its final two Days. 

Terunofuji came back with a big win today after his loss yesterday, demolishing Takanosho in less than 4 seconds. Mitakeumi defeated Abi, completely negating his thrusting attack. There is now a tie at the top (11-2) between Terunofuji and Mitakeumi. Abi and Kotonowaka (M14e)  are tied for 2nd at 10-3. 

On Day 14, Abi will fight the Yokozuna, Mitakeumi will fight Takarafuji (M7w) (9-4), a Stable mate of the Yokozuna, and Kotonowaka will fight Takanosho (S1w), who needs to win in order to have a chance at retaining his Sekiwake Rank. If the two leaders win, they will fight it out for the Yusho (Championship) on Day 15. For the possible permutations should the most likely one not work out, see the article at Tachiai.org 

As for Ozeki Shodai, his loss today leaves him reeling at 5-8. He is now officially Kadoban (must have a winning score in March to retain his Ozeki Rank). This has happened twice before since he was promoted to Ozeki November 2020. Can he respond again?

And it's looking like there could be a new Ozeki in March. 

"Splendid" (Source: Chris Sumo Youtube)

Japan Sumo Association President Hakkaku (who was also the 61st Yokozuna--Hokutoumi on Mitakeumi's 11-2 record perhaps signalling that a new Ozeki is about to be named. But it is not over yet. Mitakeumi now has 31 wins in the last 3 Basho. 33 is usually the pre-requisite, but given the ongoing Ozeki dilemma, one win in the next two might be enough. Two would mean Mitakeumi's 3rd Yusho and certain promotion.

Congratulations to Aoiyama (M16e), now 8-5, on his Kachi-koshi and retention in the Top Division.

Commiserations to Shodai (O1w); Meisei (K1e); Kiribayama (M1w); Endo (M3w); Hokutofuji (M4w); Myogiryu (M10e); and Tsurugisho (M16w) all now 5-8 (Make-koshi and Rank demotion). 

Today's matches were completed in 3 minutes 51.2 seconds of fighting time, making the total for the first 13 days (253 matches) 46 minutes 48.3 seconds. At the same juncture in the November Basho (Tournament) the time was 53 minutes 56.5 seconds, in 259 matches. 

There were 8 Kimarite (finishing moves) used today, for a total of 27 winning Kimarite in the first 13 days.  In November the number of Kimarite after 13 days was 29. Of the first 253 matches 129 have been won by the two dominant Kimarite (Yorikiri--Frontal Force Out, and Oshidashi--Frontal Push Out). 123 were used in the 1st 260 matches in November. 36 throws, sweeps, and swings have been used so far in this Basho. 32 were won by throws, sweeps, and swings in November.

Top Rankers were 3-3 today, slightly lowering their overall record to 44-38-9. In November they were 57-34 after 13 days. The composition of the Top Rank (1 Yokozuna, 1 Ozeki, 2 Sekiwake, and 2 Komusubi) is now 6. In November it was 7.

Rank and Filers (Maegashira) were 2-2 against san'yaku today.  Their overall record is now 26-32 against their betters. In November it was 19-42 after 13 days.

The two Rookies lost their matches today, making them 14-12 overall.  One of the wins was a forfeit. Both Rookies are still within one win of Kachi-koshi (winning record and Rank promotion.

There were no Juryo Substitutes today.

Quotable (all, except where specifically noted, are from Chris Sumo Youtube).

"I was done for power and just found myself pulling."

Abi on his decisive loss to Mitakeumi.

Nikkansports.com carries the most exhaustive coverage of Sumo that I have seen. It publishes multiple daily articles about the Basho.

All coverage is in Japanese and can be accessed from the Nikkan Sports News Page. It can be easily (if not well) translated by Google Translate, which can be easily attached to your browser for seamless "translation." It is the next best thing to being able to read Japanese.

Google Translate.
