Same. Hell, I thought it was like a joke show or something at first. I was like “Look at this white dude bout to get rolled.” Then I just kept watching and was blown away. Editing is superb and would be great for editing other physical sports.

Takanoyama was stuck at the top of Makushita (the 3rd-highest division, just below the salaried ranks) for years, never quite seeming able to break into Juryo (the 2nd-highest division and the lowest salaried tier.) His technique was always superb, but his weight was a distinct disadvantage. If he had managed to pack on another 20 kg somehow, he'd probably still be in sumo today. As it was, he only broke into Juryo because of a massive bout-fixing scandal. It was long suspected this kind of thing was going on, but it wasn't where anyone was looking: not in Makuuchi (the top division), but in Juryo. It makes sense if you understand sumo culture. In Juryo and above you have privileges, at least one tsukebito (servant), an income, the right to marry and to live away from the heya (stable). But not in Makushita and below. So it should have been expected that some wrestlers were desperate to avoid relegation from Juryo to Makushita and would work to make sure it happened as little as possible. When the Sumo Association found out what was going on, they demanded the resignations of every wrestler suspected of being involved. This basically hollowed out Juryo, and rocketed Takanoyama right up to the middle of the division. That doesn't mean it was somehow unfair or a walk. It was likely the bout fixing that had been keeping him out of Juryo for so long. And he was successful enough in Juryo that in his very first tournament he earned promotion to Makuuchi. (You'll see his rank given as Maegashira. This is basically the rank-and-file of Makuuchi, below the Sanyaku ranks of Komusubi, Sekiwake, and Ozeki, with the Yokozuna at the very top.) Unfortunately, it was here that he hit his wall. Like I said, his weight was a significant handicap. Its bad enough in the lower divisions, but in the salaried ranks anyone weighing under 100kg is going to have a very serious problem. He peaked at around 101kg but couldn't maintain it. He ended up as an "elevator rikishi", bouncing back and forth between Makuuchi and Juryo for a couple of years before falling back down to Makushita and retiring only about 3 years after reaching Juryo for the first time.

The overwhelming cheers of the audience at 1:02 is a classical Japanese reaction based on "Hogan-biiki (判官贔屓 meaning patronage in favour of less privileged/advantageous)", a traditional cultural trait of the nation. Takanoyama had distinct disadvantage in weight, which he managed to overcome by struggling through without giving up to the last making every effort using all techniques he could muster.

Je suis là car je viens de voir la série Sanctuary!!! ^^

What cool video, man. I really liked the analysis part with the cool music in the background. What a remarkable human being!

Simply, he’s direct, quick, has a good center of balance and gravity, and uses the passive aggressive style of Judo to its fullest effect against Sumo, which it is essentially designed to take out. He’s very fun to watch.

The explanations of each move is so helpful. Awesome editing job. Thanks.

Very well done, thanks ! Some techniques I had ne et seen anywhere else, shown in slow motion and explained ! 🤩

Thank you for breaking this down step by step!! I don't know anything about sumo and this helped a lot!

I never thought I would watch a full 10 minute sumo video and enjoy it lol

I’m so glad you made a video on this guy, more people need to know what a badass he is.

Unironically some of the best combat sports footage ever. He took out guys twice his weight.

This makes judo look even more impressive as a martial art. BTW the Sanctuary series brought me here.

Never seem a sumo match, ever. But this video is amazing. The step-by-step tactical breakdown… yes, yes, yes.

the shear power behind the technique is still insane though. perfect technique is still hard to apply at a 100 kg disadvantage... just fucking wow.....(edit) also fantastic editing man! i know nothing about this sport and i appreciate it so much more with the technical knowledge

I read your reply and thought the same thing 👍

柔道のテクニックを備えた本当に強力なマウス👏👏👍

I've watched this video more than 10 times and I'm still in awe of it

Really amazing bouts against massive opponents using some fantastic technique. But the win-loss records tell the story of his difficulties in the top makuuchi division. I saw many times when Takanoyama was easily pushed out of the ring. I just looked at his Wikipedia entry and was floored by how much experience he racked up in the lower non-salaried divisions before breaking into the salaried Juryo division. He participated in 57 tournaments before making it to Juryo. He did so great in his first Juryo tournament (10-5) that he was immediately promoted to the top Makuuchi division. Hats off to him for a long and respectable career despite his small size.

極めて太りにくい体質だったのに、この体格でこの強さは驚異的だと思う 人気があって華があって良い力士だったな

This was so surprisingly good. Excellent editing and so cool to watch, instant sub. 👍

I love it in any sport, when technique beats physicality. great intelligence and skill by Takanoyama.

This is why sumo is so unique and dangerous. No weight division, no space for acting, the impact is like being hitting by a truck everyday, in his case for each battle (not match cause lose means death in sumo) he has the big risk of injuries in his knees. If you want to see more weight difference bs in sumo check "akebono vs takatouriki".

But its also needlessly dangerous and needs some sort of safety regulations

@@koraegi I know what you try to say but it's impossible cause this is the nature of sumo. The roots are ancient and sumo has a religious meaning deep in the bases. For example the yokozuna is god, that's why they use that white rope usually used in old trees or other nature things. The yokozuna is the only human being that can use it. But I know they can break or destroy the opponent's sumo life if they want. I only saw it one time and I didn't understand it for years until I saw a sumo manga and understood that was on purpose. The one who lost had to left in a wheelchair and went straight to the hospital, took him long time, really long time to come back but he had to retire soon. The one who won ... Well, he got ass kicked from sumo cause he sold/bought the battles...

No klobúk dole,Pavle,som veľmi milo prekvapený,čo si dokázal,sme na Teba hrdí Slovane...😉

I remember watching sumo on Twitch during Hakuho's last run. Might have to start watching again and supporting somehow because this is just awesome

I don't even like or ever watched sumo but I enjoyed every single second of this video. This dude is so smart and strong warrior

All his opponents look very shook and look in disbelief as they lose.👊

Yea not there sport anymore soon but skinny white guys taking over

First time I've ever watched sumo wrestling. And it's alot more technical and has many forms of combat sport techniques to use to throw your opponent to the floor or out the ring. Yeah enjoyed that. Good vid man.

Hey, great video. You have a great eye for the details that appeal to people outside of grappling. I look forward to anything Judo or Sumo-related that you put out.

Sumo is great, your editing is gold. Congrats for this awesome video

Enjoyed the video!! Most techniques used.. great breakdown 🙏

I've been meaning to get into sumo lately, your channel has perfect breakdowns for a beginner to understand the bouts considering how swift they are. Nice job!

Not sure why KZread recommended this to me... but thank you! Thank you very much!
