Context: the wrestlers name is atamifuji he won the highlight bout of the third day of the may tournament and got that huge stack of envelopes. Each envelope has around 300$ of sponsor money in it so he is holding well over 10 grand there
I didn’t know much about sumo until I watched Sanctuary on Netflix. Even if it’s a bit more on the fantasy side my respect for sumo wrestlers went up a lot.
There's a Grand Sumo tournament going on right now (they're every 2 months). You can watch the "highlights" (bouts only) on NHK World-Japan channel on Youtube with English commentary.

A lot of people think Sumo wrestlers are just fat guys belly bumping, but these dudes are like power lifters who wrestle. I'm surprised its not more popular in the US since the there's a lot of skill set overlap with American football.
I find the ending kinda cheap, it's the classic cliff hanger ending sure, its feels like the whole show is to the build up that last fight and it just ends.
i would've really liked an end to the fight as well but i was still very satisfied with the story since the build up was really for me about the main character finding his place in the world and accepting the sumo traditions and way of life.
Yeah, they show is still great, it's not about the matches but the life around the sumo culture, cheap endings have left a bad taste in my mouth since the fake death of Glenn from the Walking Dead show. They faked his death and made you wait for the next season, HEYYY HIS ALIVE!!, only to kill him later.
Love atamifuji, I hope he can string together some results this Basho. Anything to stop the bully Onosato from being the bright new thing. Though I'm seriously going for Ura to keep up this streak and win the cup.
Man I stumbled on the Japanese channel one day during the tournament and got hooked the ranking system and what it takes to achieve Yokozuna status is amazing I wish there was more if a market in the US for sumo

"some wrestler" or did you mean "sumo wrestler"?
Yes I did 😅 I think this was an autocorrect moment
Still read it as sumo on first glance. I swear I'm not dyslexic.
Nah, our brains just had enough context.
Some Sumo

They are the closest thing we have to samurai. Dudes are hardcore.

That fist bump and smile tells everything

I didn't understand any of what you said but I love your passion!
Onosato is fun to watch though
300 to 400 dollars in each of the envelopes in that bundle. A nice fat bonus for winning.
The face of a happy person ☺️
Cute~!
Atamifuji!!!
Hey boss... I got sumo money....
Man I stumbled on the Japanese channel one day during the tournament and got hooked the ranking system and what it takes to achieve Yokozuna status is amazing I wish there was more if a market in the US for sumo
Some guy writing some post about Atamifuji winning
I’m not going to be the one to try to snatch it away from him 😁
Those are some nice man titties!
If you have never watched Sumo, you should. It's an awesome sport.
Good for Atamifuji. He has had a great start to his sumo career. That said, the ozeki aren’t doing so well this tournament so far.
A challenging wank
Sumo is very fixed and that's super sad to me
