Cartoon on Sports Newspaper after Baruto won for Hakuho

Many thanks for posting many comments and greetings!!

Now Tuesday in Japan new ozeki promotion is being discussed.

But me,Baruto Mania is still thinking over Baruto victory for Yokozuna Hakuho.

Here is a present for Baruto Manias.

Nikkan Sports Newspaper(2011/11/28) drawn by Yakumitsuru.

Can you guess the meaning?

Left "Rikishi" is Yokozuna Hakuho holding black ball.

Black is symbol of loss.

The line from left . (Japanese is usually written vertically )

• (title of this cartoon series) Yakumitsuru's One more Extra Bout

• No "Zensho Yusho" this year........

(middle gothic line)

• I was presented what I hadn't want mostly,though I would be presented a lot in ceremony.

("Gyoji" referee said )

• "Baru-to〜"

Day15 vs Hakuho (Kyushu-Basho 2011Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu-Basho Day15(final day)

Wow!!!

Baruto did it!!!!!

Please watch his fight!!

Starting was really good!

Step forward was very fast.

But Baruto could not grip and hakuho got grip.

Baruto twitted himself with arm lock and neck control.

Baruto escaped hakuho's rythem.

Baruto showed "Makikae"(=outside to inside) and "Hazeoshi"(=pushing to armpit)

and "Nodowa"(=pushing to throat part).

Baruto could force Hakuho up completly!!!

And Baruto sensed Hakuho counter attack so Baruto twisted clockwise and pull down by left arm.

I think today baruto attacked and defended carefully.

Very smartly ,speedily and occasionally.

Baruto W(HATAKIKOMI)L Hakuho Yokozuna.

11-4.

Before Bout Baruto vs Hakuho day15 (Kyushu-Basho 2011 nov)

Hi Baruto Zeki

Grand Sumo Tournament Day15 ("Senshuraku").

大相撲　九州場所　千秋楽。

You have Yokozuna Hakuho.

If Hakuho wins,his "Zensho Yusho"(=no losses victory) is completed.

It will be 8 times "Zensho Yusho" ,which means top "Zensho Yusho" holder.

I hope you will not be a person to allow hakuho to record new.

You have defeated Hakuho 2 times.

2011sep by watenage (Click)

2010Jan by sukuinage (Click)

I think the point is your left throw.

Both win cases tell your left inside or ouside throw timing is important.

Remember yesterday's "Inashi" by left arm was very effective to Kotooshu?

Your left throw is the strongest point in your sumo style.

I want to emphasize it.

Cheers,

Chuchai

Day14 vs Kotooshu (Kyushu-Basho 2011 Nov)

Grand sumo Tournament Kyushu-basho day14.

大相撲　九州場所　第１４日目。

Saturady night.

Baruto meets Ozeki Kotooshu.

Kotooshu has already passed "Kachikoshi" (=over 8 wins) line and escaped from "Kadoban"

(If Ozeki has 2 straight "Makekoshi"(=less than 7 wins),the Ozeki lost his postision.In the next basho to "Makekoshi" basho ,the ozeki is called "Kadoban")

Kotooshu this year lost his sumo style.

His top form is low starting and to get "Maemitsu" and kills opponents sumo and rush forward.

Before Baruto's promoting to Ozeki,I sometimes mentioned Kotooshu's starting and grip sumo was a paragon of sumo of European(I mean body size and long leg is quite different from Asian sumotoris)

Kotooshu forget his sumo.

But,,

I think Kotooshu these days sumo pretty well though he did not make his score satisfactorily.

At starting,Kotooshu tried to get "Maemitsu" and he got it for an instant.

Baruto showed "Inashi" without delay and cut off Kotososhu grip.

This was the point of this bout.

Bartuo has marked 10 wins and 4 losses.

I want to say why Baruto lost 3 in the early days of this tournament.

If not,today Baruto vs Hakuho would be a real play-off.

Baruto w(SHITATENAGE)L Kotooshu

10 wins 4 losses.

Day13 vs Kisenosato (Kyushu-Basho 2011 Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu-Basho day14.

大相撲　九州場所　第１４日。

Our Baruto meets Sekiwake Kisenosato.

Needless to say,Kisenosato is challenging to promotion to Ozeki.

How to promote to Ozeki is 33 wins(par 3 touranment and at upper than komusubi and sekiwake) are magic number.

Kisenosato has to win 11 in this tournament.

But Kisenosato has already lost 3.

Past bout

2011 sep (click) :Baruto won. They gripped each other.

2011 July (click): Baruto won. They chose pushing start.

They chose "Yotsu Sumo" (=grip each other)

Kisenosato got left inside grip and right outside grip.

This was his best style "Hidari Yotsu".

Baruto first could not get grip.

So Kisenosato rushed but not completed to win.

Because Kisenosato right outside grip was loose and Baruto left inside gave him couter "Sukui Nage".

Baruto got both grip "Hidari Yostu".

Baruto and Kisenosato got their grip each other and motion was stopped.

"Gappuri Yostu"(=both favorite style grip and stop motion)

(The spectacular likes this status and claps their hands.)

The point is baruto power and Kisenosato"s right outside grip looseness.

Baruto Yoriki-ed Kisenosato completely!!

Power sumo!! Baruto showed Ozeki pride!!!

Kisenosato was cornered.

Baruto w (YORKIRI)L Kisenosato

Baruto got 9 wins (4 losses).

New born Ozeki Kotoshogiku shape up his "Gaburi Yori" skill.

Baruto win case(2011sep)

-----Kotoshogiku could not get right grip

Baruto lost case(2011july)

-----Kotoshhogiku could get double inside grip("Morozashi")

Perfect tactic!

Baruto did not allow Kotoshogiku to get right grip.

So hehas already failed the exam.

But to be an Ozeki candidate,hecan not lose any more.

Baruto showed a powerful sumo yesterday against Aran.

Tsuridashi is Baruto's extreme submission.

Baruto sumoed with carefullness.

Baruto waited for the time Kauku's rushing.

I think only Baruto can do pull up with doble outside grip!!!!

I want Baruto to shape up tsuridashi skill more to be his special one.

Baruto vs Homasho.

Homasho is ranked west komusubi.

This is his first "sanyaku"(=upper rankers than komusubi)

Baruto won today.

It is very important for him to get win and get rythem.

Starting was still nog good.

High waist postition.

If Homasho has a rushing power,,,,,,,,,,,,

I read newspaper everyday and check baruto news.

Now I have no idea that barut's left knee is too bad or not throughnewspaper.

Newspaper does not mention it.

Baruto w(HIKIOTOSHI)L Homasho komusubi

2 wins 3 losses.

Day4 vs Goeido (Kyushu-Basho 2011Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu-Basho day 4.

Baruto vs Goeido.

Goeido this tournament is ranked at maegashira #1.

But he has already lost 3 until today.

Baruto chose slapping start.

But it did not work well.

Goeido got inside once and Baruto had straighted his waist.

Goeido power vector was upward.

Baruto power vector was downward with straight waist.

Goeido only to do was to pull in order to make Baruto lost balance.

Baruto L(OSHIDASHI)W Goeido m#1

1 win 3 losses.

Grand Sumo tournament Kyushu-basho DAY3.

Baruto meets Okinoumi Maegashira #1.

Okinoumi is Sea of Oki Island.
He has 192cm and 156 kg.
Not a small "Rikishi".

Starting position was not bad.
But Baruto could not get belt.
Okinoumi got both arms inside (="moro-zashi")



This was the point.
Okinoumi rushed forward so Baruto
Baruto had already lost his balance.

I think Baruto should think starting tactics to get belt.

Baruto L(YORIKIRI)W Okinoumi m#1

1 win 2 losses.

Day2 vs Tochinoshin (Kyushu-Basho 2011Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu Basho Day2.

大相撲　九州場所　二日目

Baruto has Georgian Maegashira #2 Tochinoshin.

把瑠都は、前頭２枚目　グルジアの栃の心との対戦。

Past result between them were only one win of Tochinoshin.

過去の対戦は、栃の心が一回勝ったのみ。

Baruto today concentrated on grabbing by right hand.

今日のバルトは、右手でまわしをつかむことに集中していた。

He could not grabbed but put arm under opponent armpit.

まわしをつかめなかったが、脇下に腕を入れることは出来た。

Toochinoshin recognized Baruto could not get belt.

栃の心はバルトがまわしをとっていないことがわかたので。

I think Tochinoshi tried to submit fast.

私が思うのには、栃の心は、勝負を急いだ。

Tochinoshin rushed forward once and Baruto looked forced backward.

栃の心の寄りに一度は、バルトは、力で後退させられた様に見えた。

But Baruto threw by right arm using Tochinoshin's rushing power.

しかし、バルトは栃の心の前に出る力を利用して、右投げをした。

We can reminded yesteday's Toyonoshima's throwwhich Baruto was thrown.

昨日、，バルトが食らった豊の島の投げを彷彿させた。

Perfect!!

完璧！！

Day1 vs Toyonoshima (Kyushu-basho 2011)

Baruto meets Toyonoshima on day1.

I think today's start was not so bad.
Baruto tried to grab belt and went forward.

But his waist position and foot works were careless ones.

Baruto should take breath and pause for small wrestlers after grabbing belt.

Toyonoshima always tries to capture napping.

His counter "sukuinage" is his trump card.

Baruto L(SUKUINAGE)W Toyonoshima

0 wins 1 lost

I have confident today Baruto this tournament can get good score.
Because he re-get his style.

Do you know what his style is?

It is ..........

Home work . 

Kyushu-Bahso has started.

Hi everyone!

Today is the first day of Kyushu-Basho.
We have 4 major islands in japan.
Hokkaido Honshu Shikoku Kyushu.
Kyushu is located in south part of Japan.
Kyushu has 7 prefectures.
Fukuoka,Oita,Saga,Miyazaki,Nagasaki,Kumamoto,Kagoshima.
This tournament is held in Hakata City where is the capital city of Fukuoka Pref.

If you want to go to Hakata from Tokyo,you need to ride on train or by air.
About 1 hour by air.
About 7 hours by Super Express train "Shinkansen".

By the way,
All stables are in or around Tokyo.
Baruto's sable "Onoe-Beya" is in "Ota-ku"(ku = ward).
Ota-ku is located in the west part of "Tokyo23ku"(=Tokyo central part has 23 wards and called so.)
And the "Onoe-beya" is placed in region called "Ikegami"

And I was born and brought up near Ikegami.

In this tournament ,we have some key words.

PROMOTION
 Kisenosato and Kakuryu both sekiwake rankers are candidate of Ozeki promotion.

NEW
new born Ozeki Kotoshogiku can show his sumo or not.

First
Our Baruto has no experience of tournament champion.
I believe baruto will be..


Anyway
Let's have a good time of Sumo world!!
