Shishi never seems to know where his body is. He steps out for the loss. It was Onokatsu who stepped out, I didn't look carefully enough.

Takerufuji looking strong on his return to makuuchi.

Great dodge by Chiyoshoma but Wakanosho keeps at it and shoves him out.

Tobizaru gets shoved to the bales and has no answer for Asanoyama.

Wakamotoharu does a barrel roll against Takayasu. Not sure what was going on there.

Fujiseiun with a great leg trip against Kotoeiho.

Ura comes in low to work his stuff but Ichiyamamoto slaps him down.

Hakunofuji chases Daieisho around the ring and eventually shoves him out.

Aonishiki steps to the side off the tachiai and grabs the belt which he uses to throw Hiradoumi off the ring.

Atamifuji dominates Gonoyama, pressing his position to keep Gono on the back foot and eventually shoves him out.

Great tachiai but Kirishima sends Fujinokawa sprawling.

After a false start Yoshinofuji comes out on top of the tachiai with Onosato. Ono's drag goes nowhere and Yoshi uses the momentum to drive the yokozuna out.

Hoshoryu ends up with a shoulder drive after grabbing a leg and takes Oho off the ring.

Ya forgor Daiseizan vs Kazuma. idk anything about Kazuma but he showed great heart and stamina, and ALMOST had it, just got "spinned out" at the last second.

Shishi never seems to know where his body is. He steps out for the loss.

correction, Shishi wins vs Onokatsu: https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Results.aspx?b=202607&d=1 Shishi had the upper hand the whole time, did a great job.

Takerufuji looking strong on his return to makuuchi.

YES!!! So good to see the guy in solid form. Looks like he's recovered well! STAY STRONG BUDDY!!!

Wakamotoharu does a barrel roll against Takayasu. Not sure what was going on there.

Hard to see what Takayasu's right hand is doing... I suspect it's pulling W down? it's possible W is also just disoriented from the face clobbering that Big Poppa subjected him to.

Aonishiki steps to the side off the tachiai and grabs the belt which he uses to throw Hiradoumi off the ring.

Why's he look so guilty afterwards? Almost like: "It was NOT a henka, all right!?!"

After a false start Yoshinofuji comes out on top of the tachiai with Onosato. Ono’s drag goes nowhere and Yoshi uses the momentum to drive the yokozuna out.

Onosato stepped out and was wincing. Looks like he's still injured? Hope the best for him.

Great bouts by Hoshoryu, Kirishima, Kotozakura. Looks like it'll be a great tourney!

Ura comes in low to work his stuff but Ichiyamamoto slaps him down.

For a second, Ura thought he was Superman!

Ura is always superman!

nice framegrab. I'm stealing this to use as my work meeting background.

Sergio put up another good one a couple hours ago of Hoshoryu's big throw from day 2

That'll be a candidate for when I've got enough comments on Ura. Its replacing another of Hoshi from last basho, so wouldn't want to show too much favouritism hahaha!
