It's that time again, the tournament starts March 13th! Post your thoughts and reactions!

and go!
 
I'm looking to see Abi and Ura continue to have strong showings. I'm especially hoping that Ura is fully healed from the mild concussion he sustained during the last basho.

I'm hoping to see Abi push his way to an Ozeki promotion with at least 33 wins in the next three tournaments.

I'm wondering if Terunofuji will excel this tournament as well. He really seemed to be struggling with dynamic movement in the last tournament, severely hindered by his sore knees.

Will Shodai hang on to his Ozeki rank??? He needs a strong showing for sure!

LET'S GO Tochinoshin! I'm just hoping to see a strong showing! ♥️

Loads of questions and I'm excited to see what happens!
 
Not even sure who will be competing, check this out.

Just saying I will answer any and all phone calls that come in from Japan. I think I'd look sexy in a Mawashi!

You can watch it on the NHK world ap for Roku or on their website. I’m just a knuckle dragged who watches the tournament a day or two behind, but @Fenster and @Majorrich watch Jason Sumo I think and get to see the matches earlier. He’s on YouTube.
