Day3 vs Kyokutenho (Nagoya-Basho 2011 Jily)

Grand Sumo Tournament Nagoya Basho Day3.

Baruto is perfect after day2.

First day vs Goeido:won by Tsuridashi.

Day2 vs Yoshikaze : won by Uwatedashinage.

And day3 Baruto meets Kyokutenho.

Kyokutenho is not a tricky wrestler.

Baruto has not been defeated by Kyokutenho for about 2 years.

It is the standard move to rush forward when opponent does "Makikaea(=outside to insaide grip)".

Todays Baruto did this standard move when Kyokutenho di "Makikae".

Very quick response!!

Ozeki Baruto ○(YORIKIRI)× Kyokutenoho Maegashira #2

3 wins!!!

Day10 vs Kyokutenho (Kugatsu-Basho 2010Sep)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kugastu-Basho DAY10

Baruto has Maegashira #3 ranker Kyokutenho.

Kyokutenho is very veteran wrestler from Mongol.

Past result is 8-4 for Baruto.

Baruto started with "Nodowa"(=pushing throat ) and took right outside grip.

Baruto perfectly got his style.

Kyokutenho could not do anything in this "Yotsu-Sumo"(=grip each other)

Baruto stpped forward with pulling up Kyokutenho.

Baruto won this tournament "Kachi-Koshi"(=over 8 wins).

Ozeki BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× KYOKUTENHO Maegashira #3

8 wins 2 loses.

Hakuho keeps straight wins.

Who stops Hakuho?

Yes, we know who.

IT IS OUR BARUTO!!

Day8 vs Kyokutenho (Haru-Basho 2010 Mar)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day 8 ("Nakabi"=mid day)

Baruto competes with Maegashira #2 Kyokutenho(1wins 6 looses)

Baruto has defeated Kyokutenho 6times and been defeated 4 times in the past.

Kyokutenho means Morning sky stork.

Baruto adjusted his starting and step work.

I love this Baruto style.

Starting(="Tachiai") with quick step forward,lower position,his jaw drawn.

Timing to step froward was good when Kyokutenho tried "Makikae (=change arm outside to inside).

Step work with "SURIASHI"(=gliding steps).

Perfect style.

This is Baruto's first time to get 8 wins on 8th day.

This fact influences ozeki promotion.

13 wins is must item but this fastest "Kachikoshi"(=8 wins over) gives a good impression.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× KYOKUTENHO maeashira #2

8 wins (gets Kachikoshi)

He has already defeated 1 sekiwake and 2 komusubis and 5 maegashira upper rankers.

1 yokozuna and 4 ozekis are left.

Baruto will fight with yokozuna and 4 ozekis and 2 maegashira rankers in left 7 days.

I think 2 maegashira rankers are Kotoshogiku and other going well one(maybe Homasho?)

Next stage for ozeki promotion will start.

Tomorrow opponent is Ozeki Kaio.

2010Jan tournamet(Baruto win)

2009Nov tournament (Kaio win)

Let's raise our voice for Baruto victory!

Day8 Digest

Day15 vs Kyokutenho (Hatsu-Basho 2010 Jan)

Grand Sumo Tournament 2010Jan Day 15

Nice ending!

Baruto recorded 12 wins.

Finally 3 losers Hakuho, Baruto,Toyohibiki are next positon of "Yusho" race.

He beated Hakuho and 4 ozekis in this tournament.

But his total wins within 3 tournaments are 33.

I think his promotion to Ozeki status after this tournament will not be decided.

I re-write Ozeki promotion case study.

Let's make it clear through past history to promote ozeki after 2000
(success case)
2000 sep kaio
komusibi8w7l→komusubi14w1l(torphy)→sekiwake11w4l total33w12l
2002jan tochiazuma
sekiwake10w5l→sekiwake12w3l(second)→sekiwake12w3l(second) total34w11l
2002sep asashoryu
sekiwake11w4l→sekiwake11w4l(second)→sekiwake12w3l(second) total 34w11l
2006jan kotooshu
komusubi12w3i(second)→sekiwake13w2l(first)→sekiwake11w4l(second) total36w9l
2006may hakuho
komusubi9w6l→sekiwake13w2l(second)→sekiwake13w2l(first) total35w10l
2007sep kotomistuki
sekiwake10w5l→sekiwake12w3l(second)→sekiwake13w2l(second) total35w10l
2009jan harumafuji
sekiwake10w5l→sekiwake12w3l(second)→sekiwake1w2l(first) total35w10l

second means records second wins
first means records same as tournament winner but defeated at play-off
trophy means wins tournament

(failure case)
2002 mar kotomitsuki maegashira#2 13w2l(trophy)→sekiwake9w6l→sekiwake12w３l total34w11l

Japan Sumo Association does not tell officially in which case filled with to be able to promote to ozeki.

If we learn psat cases,
Ozeki candidate needs

• over 33 wins including at least tropy once in past 3 tournanaments.
• or over 34 wins including 2 times upper than second positions in past 3 tournaments.
• or over 35 wins is enough
• but in any cases above mentioned,staying at upper than "SANYAKU" is favorable.

Everybody knows Baruto has ability as same as now ozekis.

And it is true,Ozeki promotion condition is very high.

Do you know why?

I think Ozeki shuould be Yokozuna candidate.

Ozeki promotion is considered the step to Yokozuna.

If Baruto records 12 over wins with second postion in the next Haru-Basho March , he must promote to Ozeki.

But I think Ozeki is not final goal for Baruto.

He is the man to promote to Yokozuna some day.

12wins are not enough.

Emperio's cup is needed.

I want Baruto to have strong wish to be Yokozuna.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(UWATEDASINAGE)× KYOKUTENHO maegashira #5

12 wins 3 loses.

Anyway, Thank you ,Baruto!

We can get enrergy from your bouts in this tournament.
