Best Bout Hakuho vs Ama PLAY OFF (Day15 Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

HAKUHO won the Play off with Ama and got trophy in this tournament.
Hakuho showed YOKOZUNA 　dignity.

Day15 vs Ama (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Today is last day of Kyushu-Basho.

Today's Baruto's rival is Ama.

As you know, Ama and Hakuho are tie until yesterday.

If Baruto beat Ama and Hakuho win,Hakuho get champion trophy.

Baruto 2wins 3losses until last tournament make us to feel possibility Baruto's victory.

Ama is smaller than Baruto.

It's true.

But Ama's tactics was very simple.

Ama made Baruto unbalanced by pushing Baruto's both armpits.

This tactics is so called Hazu-Oshi.

Baruto was lifted uprightly and has no chance to re-push.

sekiwake BARUTO ×(OSHIDASHI)○ Ama sekiwake

Final score of Baruto is 9 wins 6 losses.

This is very good result, I think.

Best Bout Kotomitsuki vs Ama (Day14 Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

I have nothing to say.
Ama is improving really.
His style reminds me 80's great Yokozuna CHIYONOFUJI.

Day14 vs Dejima (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Dejima is Maegashira#5 ranker and have 0wins 4 losses against Baruto.
He played 6wins 7losses.
if he loose today, he defines as a Makekoshi(Over 8 losses).

His Shikona (=ring name of sumo wrestler) "Dejima" means the island of Nagasaki Prefecture but he is from Ishikawa Prefecture and his family name is DEJIMA,so,this time ,Dejima is maybe no meaning.

Baruto showed totally perfect bout today.
His right arm over(=migi uwate) style is improving.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× maegashira#5

Baruto has marked 9wins!!!!!

Tomorrow Baruto will fight against Ama who has only 2 losses record now,which ties with Yokozuna Hakuho's one..

Day13 vs Kisenosato(Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Kisenosato is Maegashira #4 ranker.
Total bout result between Baruto and Kisenosato is Baruto 3 win 0 losses.

We have 5 candidates thought to be Ozeki and Yokozuna.
They are Ama,Kotoshougiku,Kisenosato,Toyonoshima.
Baruto is a new comer candidate.
I think Ama will be an Ozeki ranker in the next tournament because he scored over 33wins through past three tournaments.
I want Baruto to score 10 wins in this tournament.

never mind,baruto!

sekiwake BARUTO ×(YORIKIRI)○ KISENOSATO maegashira#4

Best Bout Hakuho vs Ama (Day12 Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Day 12 of Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov.

Yokozuna Hakuho marked 10 wins 1 losses until yesterday.

Sekiwake Ama marked 9wins 2 losses until yesterday.

Ama and Hakuho are Mongolian Rikishi(=wrestler) .

Ama need 10 more wins to be Ozeki in next tournament.

Ama did really quick Tachiai(=start) and held a good position of Hakuho's Mawashi(=belt).

Ama is smaller than Hakuho ,so his tactics to hold a Maemitsu(=front part of belt)

was a reasonable and best way to lift up Hakuho.

Perfect win against Hakuho brings Ama Ozeki rank.

Hakuho is 10 wins 2 losses.

Ama is 10 wins 2 losses.

Kotomitsuki is 9 wins 3 losses.

Who goes to the champion of  Kyushu-Basho!?

Day12 vs Kotomitsuki (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Kotomitsuki is Ozeki ranker and he cored 9 wins 3 losses until yesterday.

Kotomitsuki knows how to bout with a big Rikishi(=wrestler).

sekiwake BARUTO ×(UWATEDASHINAGE)○

Baruto marked 4losses 8 wins.

Day11 vs Hakuho (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Hakuho is Mongolian Yokozuna.

He scored 9wins 1 loss until yesterday.

Our Baruto scored 8wins2losses until yesterday.

Total score between them is Baruto 0 win and Hakuho 5wins.

Hakuho's name(=shikona) means White(=haku) Big Bird(=ho).

Yes,Hakuho is Yokozuna,I recognize it again.

Hakuho's quick and lower start and skillful handling ,these all were much better than Baruto.

I think Baruto learned much through this match.

sekiwake BARUTO ×(OKURIDASHI)○ HAKUHO yokozuna

Baruto marked 3 losses.

For going up to Ozeki rank, Sekiwake ranker have to win 10 more × 3 tournaments at least.

So 2 more wins are needed for Baruto in this tournament.

Baruto,Show your breast! You did good fight today,

because Hakuho show his speed and skii fully.

It meant Hakuho feel you are a big rival.

Day10 vs Chiyotaikai (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Chiyotaikai Is an Ozeki ranker.
His style is rusher(=tukioshi).
Past result are Baruto2wins and Chiyotaikai4wins.

Chiyotaikai's result in this tournament is 6wins 3losses.
Chiyotaikai has a weak point in his elbow but he has fought well in this tournament.
"chiyo" means thousand years and crown name of Kokonoe beya(=gym).
"taikai" means big sea and it reminds us a big scale and big hope.


Big Surprised.
Baruto did quick and lower position start.
Baruto is gradually improving.
His high position and slow start is his weak point until last tournaments.

Baruto could grip Chiyo's belt(=mawashi).
This meant Chiyo coulld not show his rush style.

Perfect Victory!!

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× CHIYOTAIKAI ozeki

Baruto has reached to KACHIKOSHI(= 8 wins)!!!!

Day9 vs (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

I am sorry to be late for uploading video and updateing blog .

Baruto is doing really good in this tournament.

Point is he never pull and concentrate at the beginning (=tachiai).

Asasekiryu is a Mongolian Rikishi(=wrestle) and Maegashira#5 ranker.

Past results between Baruto and Asasekiryu are 3-4.

Asasekiryu's result until yesterday is 3 wins 5 losses.

I think Asasekiryu is loosing his style in this tournament.

Baruto showed perfect sumo!

sekiwake BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× ASASEKIRYU maegashira#5

8 wins 2 losses.

Baruto continues victories after Day3.

If Baruto get one more victory , he get Kachikoshi(=over 8 wins) and he can stay at SEKIWAKE.

Day8 vs Kotoshu (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Do you know the meanning of name of "kotoshu".

"koto" means Japanese harp and Sadokatake Beya (=gym) 's wrestler 

has a "koto" in head of his name.

For example,Koto-mituki,Koto-shogiku,,,,,

"oshu" means Europe in Japanese.

"Koto-oshu" means Harp from Europe.

Very beautiful name.

Bulgaria Ozeki vs Estonia Sekiwake.

This  was also the biggest two wrestler's match in Makunouchi  matches.

Koto-oshu was not vigor at all.

I think Baruto won because of Koto-oshu's self destruction.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(UWATENAGE)× KOTO=OSHU ozeki

6 wins 2 losses.

Baruto !!! You can reach to the star of SUMO!

Day7 vs Futeno (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Futeno is ranked Maegashira#1.

He scored 6losses in this tournament.

He is not good condition now.

This was Baruto's style which is Left arm under ,Right arm over Futeno's belt.
If Baruto fight in this style, most of wrestlers can not beat Baruto.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× FUTENO maegashira#1

Baruto's score reached 5wins (2losses).

Day6 vs Toyonoshima (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Toyonoshima is Maegashira #1.

He has already beaten four OZEKIs in this tournament.

His score until yesterday was 4wins 1loss.

Toyonoshima is smaller wrestler than average wrestler.

But he has great skills.

Baruto is a bigger wrestler than other wrestler.

Usually a big wrestler depends on his physical merit in stead of  sharpening up his skills.

How does Baruto fight against Toyonoshima.

The result was Baruto win.

I could not believe Baruto's  way of logical fight.

Baruto has a good skill to cook a  small wrestler.

Perfect!!

They say Baruto's  ONOUE BEYA(=gym)  has a very small wrestler SATOYAMA.

That is why Baruto sharpened his skill through daily exercise with SATOYAMA.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× TOYONOSHIMA maegashira#1

The score until today is 4 wins 2 losses. 

Day5 vs Wakanosato (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Wakansato is Maegashira#2 ranker and he keeps good fights until today(3wins 1loss)



Wakanosato hold Baruto's belt and was enough situation to rush forward.
But Baruto hold Wakanosat's belt with his left hand.

Baruto used Wakanosto's ruhsing power to swing Wakanosato to outside!!!

Baruto's big body were like a wall against Wakanosto.

Fantastic,Baruto!

BARUTO ○(UWATENAGE)× WAKANOSATO

3 wins 2 losses until today.

Day4 vs Aminishiki(Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Aminishiki is Komsubi ranker.
Aminshiki won Yokozuna Hakuho at first day of this tournament.



Baruto showed skilfull fight.
His left pushed tightly Aminishiki's right arm.
Aminishiki had no chance .

Perfect!!!!

BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI

2wins 2 losses.

Day3 vs Goeido(Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Goeido is a same SEKIWAKE ranker.
Both are 2 losses unti yesterday.
Goeido has something bad in his arm in this tournament.



Goeido was not good.
Now rush after Tachiai(=start) and Goeido was easy to be pulled by Baruto.

Today's Baruto got win very easily because of Goeido's condition.
1 win 2 losses until today.

Day2 vs Kotoshougiku (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

0 win 2 losses

Day1 vs Hokutoriki (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Today is the day Baruto start @ SEKIWAKE RANKER.

But result was so severe for him to fight on this position.



0 win 1loss.

Be brave,Baruto!
You can do it!

Happy Birthday ,BARUTO!!!

Nov.5th is Baruto's 24th birthday.

In Japan,1984 is NEZUMI(=mouse) year,
because every year has own animal.

Year animals consist of 12 animals and every 12th year,same animal comes.
yes,,,,24th means (12 × 2 =) 2008 is Nezumi year.
And Same animal year brings fortune to same animal born man and woman.

Day15 vs Kakuryu (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

If Baruto wins today,he will be upper ranker SEKIWAKE in the next tournament.

If he losses today,he will lost KOMUSUBI position in the next tournament.

There are big differences between 7wins 8losses(=MAKEKOSHI)  and 8wins 7losses(=KACHIKOSHI) .

They fought three times!

First was judged Kakuryu's step out and Baruto's step out timing was same.

So they did TORINAOSHI(=re-fight)

Second was judged Baruto did not touch ground enough at staring.

Third was Baruto used hid body size enough.

First fight Baurto should shift hs waist positon lower not to step out his left leg.

I think Baruto thought Kakuryu would be injured if he continued to rash.

This is baruto's kind scene maybe because he has known sadness of injured time.

I want to emphasize Baruto is a very strong with hearty and kind finghter.

komusubi BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× KAKURYU maegashira#5

Total score of this turnament is

8wins 7losses!!!!

Great job,BARUTO!!!

Day13 vs Aminishiki (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

In this tournament,Baruto's score was 2wins 7losses at 9th day.

If he lost more,it meant he lost his Komusubi position in the next tournament.

But he has continued to get win after 10th day!!!

How is today?

komusubi BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI maegashira#4

Good fight,Baruto!

Total results until today is 6wins 7losses.

Day12 vs Kotoshogiku (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Yes,Baruto used his genuine body size in a right way.
Kotoshogiku is a small fighter,so this kind of Tsuridashi skil is very clever way.

komusubi BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× KOTOSHOGIKU maegashira#1

Toal record until today is 5wins 7losses.

Day11 vs Miyabiyama (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Miyabiyama is a good at pushing.
So Baruto's big body is good enough to be pushed.
How does Baruto solve this problem?

komusubi BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× MAIYABIYAMA maegashira#1
Baruto changed to shift his body to left.
But,,,i n order to be a good fighter,Baruto should not do this kind of starting manner, I think.
because Baruto has a big body,i want him to use his genuine in right way.

After 11ths day, Baruto records 4wins 7losses.

Day10 vs Kisenosato (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Today's style is baurto's style,,but I hope he should learn how to push or rush ,not to swing .

komusubi BARUTO ○(SHITATENAGE)× KISENOSATO maegashira#2

Total results until today is 3wins 7losses.

Day9 vs Asasekiryu (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

komusubi BARUTO ×(UWATENAGE)○ ASASEKIRYU komusubi

Day4 vs Toyonoshima(Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Toyonoshima is Sekiwake,a upper ranker.

He has a good skills.

The point is Tachiai(=beginning).

Baruto succeeded in Tachiai,he could grip Tonyonoshima's Mawashi(=belt).

Baruto could  throw Toyonoshima by his right arm.

Baruto is 198cm.

Toyonoshima is 171cm.

Body size is very matter when baruto grip other's belt.

komusubi BARUTO ○(UWATENAGE)× TOYONOSHIMA sekiwake

After 4 days,2wins 2losses

Day3 vs Ama (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Ama is a mongolian and upper ranker than baruto.

Baruto won in last July tournament.

Baruto have to think more and concentrate on the beginning when he fight against upper ranker.

Ama got his body just inside of Baruto, so Baruto could not do anything without pull.

komusubi BARUTO ×(YORIKIRI)○ AMA sekiwake

Day2 vs Koto-oshu (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Koto-oshu is ranked Ozeki and he is from Bulgaria.

Past results were Baruto 1 win 2 losts against Koto-oshu.

Baruto could not grip Koto-oshu's mawashi(=belt).

Kot0-oshu rushed but Baruto swang koto-oshu by using his left arm.

This was Baruto's  style. He likes to use left arm under opposite man's arm(=hidari yotu).

but he could not grip Koto's belt ,so he hang up with pulling his left arm(=sukui nage).

This was also his way.

And I think Koto-oshu's waist position was not enough to rush strongly.

This was reason Koto coul not suceeded to win. 

In the interview,he said he had not known what happened when Koto-oshu was swung easily.

komusubi BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× Koto-oshu ozeki

1win 1lost after 2day.

Day1 vs Asashoryu (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

Sumo world is surrounded by a big scandal now.

But 1st day of Kugatu(=Sep)-Basho was held.

Baruto met a big wall from 1st day.

Asashoryu is Yokozuna and Baruto had not been able to win until today.

Baruto is ranked Komusubiin this tournament.

This is his first time to be ranked Komusubi,it means he has to fight against upper ranked from beginning.

The result was not bad.

Baruto could gripped Yokozuna's belt and could make Yokozuna feel pressure,so

Yokozuna pulled .

This meant Baruto did a  good fight.

(komusui)BAUTO　×(HIKIOTOSHI)○　ASASHORYU(yokozuna)

ROHO and HAKUROZAN were fired.

Theses days ,Marijuana shock had made a big cloud above Sumo world.

The conclusion was layoff of both Russian guys.

And top director KITANOUMI decided to quit the top role and MUSASHIGAWA(former YOKOZUNA MIENOUMI) took a role of the top.

Great! BARUTO is RANKED " KOMUSUBI"

Kugatu Basho will be started on Sep.14.

New ranking was annonced by Japan Sumo Association.

Our Baruto is ranked Komusubi.

This is his first time to be KOMUSUBI.

KOMUSUBI  is first step to be Ozeki,,so 

Be a brave fighter,Baruto!

Marijuana Shock is to be continued..

Russian sumo tori ROHO and HAKUROHO were suspected .

Their urine was inspected and the answer was marijuana takers.......

But they are denying this suspicious .

Japan Sumo Association has ordered further inspection,,,new result will be shown on Sep 5th.

The point is WAKANOHO who had been fired by  is also Russian.

It reminds something.

WAKNOHO is fired by reason of illegal smoking Marijuana

Russian Wakanoho was arrested because of smoking illegal smoikng Marijuan and was fired yesterday.WAKANOHO was Megashira#1 in last tournament.

His master Magaki (former YOKOZUNA WAKANOHANA second) offered to quit his job in Sumo Association .

Magaki Beya(=gym) continues to run.

BARUTO has fought WAKANOHO two times and 1win 1 lost.

Kotooshu is very lower than Baruto.
This is the reason why Bauro loose his body balance.

Today,,,Bauroto could grasp Goeido's(Megashir#4) belt in his style.
But Baruto could not show his power,,,yes,, the reason is his waist position.
I know Goeido put his head to Baruto's breast to be a good style.
so Baruto lost his power.

I think Baruto has to keep his waist lower.

BARUTO×(YORIKIRI)○GOEIDO.

Day1 vs Miyabiyama(Nagoya-Basho 2008 July)

Why Baruto tried to continue to push?
Miyabiyama is push-rush type wrstler,,,so Baruto did not have to continue to push?

Baruto has his style to right hand cross over,,

Baruto pls,,,concentrate to keep his waist position lower than now.

BARUTO ×（OSHITAOSHI) ○MIYABIYAMA

Nagoya Basho has begun!!

Grand tournament in Nagoya,So called Nagoya Basho, has just begun.
We hope Baruto to be a nice in this tournament.
He is ranked Megashira 5th.
Last Gogatu Basho ,he was ranked Maegashira !st but he scored only 5 wins ,,,so he lost his position.

Nagoaya Basho 2008 (July) is held from July13-27.

Day15 vs Kakuryu(Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Kakuryu positions Maegashira2. He won 5 only until yesterday.
Baruto positions Maegashira1. He won 4 until yesterday.

They both felt the wall in front of them,I guess.

Baruto,,I know how you feel now.
Please train yourself through everyday efforts.
You can go up more if you change your mind like KOTOOUSHU who got first prize in this tournament.

BARUTO○(YORIKIRI)×KAKURYU

Final result of BARUTO is 5won and 10losses.

Day14 vs Tochiouzan(Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Is this your style,Baruto.
Please listen,,,evev if you could not show your self in this Natu-Basho,
remind yourself everyday match will bring you power.

BARUTO○(HIKIOTOSHI)×TOCHIOUZAN

Day13 vs Kokkai (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Kokkai is also from Europe.
Kokkai and Baruto likes to grip each other.

Baruto had to show his power,,,,,but I think he has already given up in this Natubasho Tournament.
This is not good .


BARUTO×(YORIKIRI)○KOKKAI

Day12 vs Miyabiyama (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Baruto got his 9th losts today.

He lost his balance when he changed position with turning.

I think Baruto's lower extremity is not enought to stand for shifting weight quickly now.

He is needed to make his knee stronger.....

BARUTO×(TOTTARI)○MIYABIYAMA

Day11 vs Asasekiryu (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Yes! Baruto did it!
Today's style was his best way to win.
If he gripps Mawashi(=belt), he can do his best.


BARUTO○(YORIKIRI)×ASASEKIRYU

Day10 vs Kisenosato (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Kisenosato is a good fighter to defeat Asashouryu in this tournament.
He sometimes defeat upper ranked fighter but sometimes lost by lower ranker by easy mistake.

Today 's match is also typical one for Kisenosato.

Baruto did no good style today.

I want Baruto to find his rush style not to pull.

Baruto marked second win.(7lost).



BARUTO○(HIKIOTOSHI)×KISENOSATO

Day9 vs Wakanohou (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Baruto lost today again.
He marked 8 losts, so He was Makekoshi in this Gogatu-Basho.


BARUTO×(YORIKIRI)○WAKANOHOU

Day8 vs Kotoshougiku (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Baruto could not get his style to grasp Kotoshougiku Mawashi at all.
Kotoshougiku rushed forward with waist going down gradually(=Gaburi-Yori).

Today's lost was really severe outcome for Baruto.

BARUTO○(YORIKIRI)×KOTOSHOUGIKU

Day7 vs Kyokutenho (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

YES!!!!! BARUTO WON!!!!
Kyokutenho is ranked MAEGASHIRA#2,,this means BARUTO finished fight against Rankers above BARUTO until yesterday.
For BARUTO,from Day1 to Day 6 ,He could not get prize of wins against upper rankers.

BARUTO,,,we believe today is your first day of re-start.

BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)×KYOKUTENHO

Day6 vs Koto-oushu (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Oh my budda!
Baruto marked 6 losts today.

Koto-oshu got 6wins 0losts.

BARUTO ×(YORIKIRI)○KOTO-OSHU.

Day5 vs Chiyotaikai (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

CHIYOTAIKAI has a style of TUPPARI(=Push arms towards )


I think BARUTO lost his self confidence now.

BARUTO ! Everybody wants to cheer you up!!!

BARUTO ×(HIKI-OTOSHI)○CHIYOTAIKAI

Day4 vs Kotomituki (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Today's BARUTO  fought with Ozeki KOTOMITUKI.

KOTOMITUKI is really good Sumo-Tori(wrestler) in this age.

He has already reached to 32 years old.

I thought he could be a Yokozuna soon when he came to Maku-Uchi.

But he could not be,,,,the reason is that he is too kind and sweet to be a Yokozuna.

Anyway I thought he recieved Baruto boldly before this fight.

This match was nice .

 BARUTO should rush when he gripped with his right hand over to KOTOMITUKI's Mawashi(= belt).

BARUTO has a chance to win if he minds his style  to rush when he is in good style.

Do not hesitate to rush,BARUTO!!

Day3 vs HAKUHOU (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

DAY1 vs  KAIO                 ---------------lost

DAY2 vs ASASHOURYU ---------------lost

If Baruto is lost today(DAY3:May13), it is his first time to record three losts from first day.

Today's still hard wall exisited before Baruto.

The wall was Yokozuna HAKUHOU.

Baruto could not do anything against Yokozuna,,,,

Baruto ×(SUSOHARAI)○ HAKUHOU

Day2 vs ASASHOURYU (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Today(May12/2008),our BARUTO challenged Yokozuna(=grand Champion) ASASHOURYU.

This was BARUTO'S second challenge to ASASHOURYU .

First Challenge was in  2006 Autumn before his knee injury.

Sumo fun's point of view was how BARUTO's power torment Yokozuna.

The match was BARUTO was completely defeated by ASASHOURYU.

BARUTO could not keep his Migi-Youtsu(=Right hand cross over) but ASASHOURYU got both hands just in front of BARUT0'S Mawashi(=belt) and Yokozuna kept his head to attaching BARUTO's breast.

This style is best strategy for smaller one to make him win.

ASASHOURYU is Yokozuna,so he did not have to adopt this strategy,the reason why Yokozuna chose this is ASASHOURYU was lost yesterday by KISENOSATO .

 

I think he really feels fear from BARUTO.

When BARUTO started to rush,Asashouryu pulled up BARUTO and using BARUTO'S Motion to broke down BARUTO'S body to ground.

BARUTO saw the ceiling of Dohyo(=Sand ring) but I  want to praise BARUTO today.

Because he could attack Yokozuna boldly.

SHOW your breast, BARUTO!!

First day vs Kaio ( Gogatu-basho 2008)

Kaio is one of Ozeki(=champion) and has a good physical status still now even if his age.
kaio's strong style is Hidari -Yotu(=Right hand cross over).
Baruto's strong style is Migi-Yotu(=Left hand cross over).

Unfortunately Baruto made Kaio in his style.

I think this match was very good experience for baruto.
because Baruto is first rank of Megashira,,heis only a challenger this time.
He has to learn more to skill up.

Go Baruto,,,Do not pull,,,just push push !

BARUTO ×(YORIKIRI)○KAIO
