January 2016, Day 6, Toyonoshima v Myogiryu.

After a strong tachiai leaves neither wrestler with a clear advantage, Toyonoshima and Myogiryu take a pause in the middle of their bout to contemplate some of the larger issues in life: Why am I half naked? Why is that guy trying to slap me in the face? Did I leave the oven on? When they restart, Myogiryu gets the upper hand, putting Toyonoshima in a headlock. But his kubinage (headlock throw) has less of the feel of a crisp technique and more of the feel of two toddlers who hug each other so hard they fall over. Hey, a win’s a win.

January 2016, Day 3, Myogiryu v Tamawashi.

Sharp attacks from both wrestlers today, with control of the match sliding back and forth as first Tamawashi, then Myogiryu, then Tamawashi again is forced to go on the defensive and resort to counterattack. Myogiryu winds up in charge, with Tamawashi headed backwards toward the edge of the dohyo, but he squanders the opportunity by slipping, and his right knee touches the dirt a split second before Tamawashi’s foot lands outside the ring. Since Tamawashi had basically nothing to do with this, the official winning technique for Tamawashi is tsukihiza, or “knee touch down.”

November 2015, Day 6. Endo v Myogiryu.

Endo may be hurt, but you have to give him credit for effort. Going into the last day with a 3-11 record, there's basically nothing to fight for except pride. And he uses all his remaining strength today against Myogiryu, weathering an arm-bar throw attempt, securing the double belt grip, and bulling his opponent the length of the dohyo for the yoritaoshi (front crush out) win. He's so spent he can't even stand up. Hopefully he can get some rest and reset for next tournament. Kid's got potential, just didn't show much of it the past two weeks.

November 2015, Day 12. Yoshikaze v Myogiryu.

Yoshikaze (7-5) moves one step closer to the all-important eighth victory with a win today over Myogiryu (2-10). They clash heads on the tachi-ai, and I'm pretty sure Myogiryu gets rocked. His legs turn to jelly and he falls down. Official winning technique is hatakikomi, or slap-down.

November 2015, Day 11. Osunaarashi v Myogiryu.

Osunaarashi has a terrible tachi-ai and still manages to win. He basically stands straight up and lets Myogiryu get under his center of gravity. But it all comes down to his left hand. Watch how he keeps his left arm tucked in tight against Myogiryu's right arm. He's trying to control Myogiryu's grip, and prevent him from applying strength to that arm and pulling it tight. At the same time, he really wants to reach out with that left arm and get a grip on Myogiryu's belt which is just within reach. You can see the hesitation in his mind expressed in the twitches in his left hand. "Go for the belt? No, gotta play defense! Go for the belt? Too dangerous!" Myogiryu makes the decision for him when he finally attacks, bringing his hips in close enough for Osunaarashi to get the left-hand overhand grip. And then it's all over shortly thereafter, as Osunaarashi out-muscles Myogiryu, using his left arm to whirl Myogiryu around and out for the yorikiri win. And I'm going to coin what I think is a new phrase here for Osunaarashi's self-satisfied-barely-on-the-edge-of-appropriate-emotional-display-for-sumo smirk and strut at the end of the bout, and say he was "feeling his pepper."
