I guess Kotoshogiku had planned his strategy carefully.

Kotoshogiku did not allow Baruto to grasp his belt.

Kotoshogiku got inside of Baruto and made use of his big berry to lift Baruto up(="Gaburiyori")

Baruto's start was very dull.

His waist position was very high and stepping forward pressure was loose.

But this defeat comes to Baruto's senses certainly.
