Fujinokawa can be named Mighty Mouse (for how strong he is to try and pick up much bigger dudes off the ground) or Tasmanian Devil. And speaking of nicknames, I am glad Throwshoryu is back showing off his unique skills.
I have to think Wakatakakage's old knee injury is giving him trouble. He's got it taped up, and he is just not fighting like himself. He even looks disgusted with himself after every defeat.
But man, I am loving Shodai! I don't recall ever seeing him against Kotozakura, Kirishima, Horshoryu or Onosato, but he's bound to meet some of them in the coming days. Keep the fire, Shodai! If Kotoshoho could do it, you can too!
Funny how during the basho that my favorite wrestler (Hosh) is doing better than he's ever done is when I officially decide that Fujinokawa is my new favorite!

Made my first comment after watching the 12:30PM highlights show on NHK, now watching the 7:30PM repeat and having new thoughts.
Is it just me, or is Shishi improving? That throw of his was not bad! I still think he needs to bulk up, though. Too flabby.
Ura is always dramatic going out of the ring. Can't decide if he's acting or thinking ahead to plan his landing instead of crashing.
Kusano really looks like Onosato-lite. Have they ever met in the ring? Want to see that!
What is going on with Atamifuji? He is really having a bad month!
Great write up - I’m really enjoying this basho. Fujinokawa truly is must-watch. Kid is electric
