Hoshoryu managed to hang on for awhile against the bales. Almost seemed like he was gonna recover position out of sheer rage.
Oh yeah he had a good grip too up til the end! That was pretty skillfully done by Chiyoshoma for sure.
In other news, feelz bad that Shirokuma and Aonishiki lost...
The Shishi bout isn't in that best-5 compilation but it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cEP3jbeGo4
Shishi bout spoiler
The hand gestures between Onokatsu and Shishi were a little weird, right? And is that "bounce" that Shishi was doing at the start kinda uncommon? Maybe I'm reading into it, but it seemed like the officials' expressions were even more grim at the end. I wonder if he got a talking-to at the end of the day. Well, Shishi's in the tourney leader group with 4-1 tho.
