D: Abi has become a tough opponent for everybody. He pushes and thrusts hard by fully extending the both arms. And finally, Mitakeumi. He has a potential to become an Ozeki. If he can keep his injuries in check and fight with more consistency and the focus, he can reach the top.

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

H: I see, and Kakka I think we both agree that there is one more wrestler we should keep an eye on. D: Yes, that would be Ozeki Takayasu. I hope he wins his championship soon. H: So do I. Recently I had a chance to speak with him. Let's check it out.

(高安関の映像） Takayasu is always fired up and ready to go before every match. He is 185cm tall and weighs 178kg. He is excellent at pushing and thrusting, and he can thrashes *falls quickly with aggressive forward charge.(*は間違ってるかも）

He became an Ozeki in 2017 July tournament, but as yet to capture a top division championship. "There have been several tournaments where I wasn't able to get good results. I think it's psychologocal. I'm still immature in a lot of ways." Takayasu believes the only way to

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

realize his dream is thtough hard work in training. "I need to believe in myself and keep at it. I think this is the only way to achieve my objective." "I'd like to know your goal for the year." "It's to win a tournament. PERIOD. I'll work hard to do it."

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

H: Kakka, what do you think about Takayasu's detaermination to sucseed? D: I think he needs to compete with more fighting spirit. He should remember how determined and focused he was when he was gunning for the Ozeki promotion. H: Now in January, senior stable mate and someone

who had been very close to him decided it was time to call it quit. (稀勢の里(当時)の映像) At the January tournament, one of Sumo's most beloved wrestlers chose to end his 17 years career. Kisenosato was known for his straight forward and (*聞き取れず)fighting style.

聞き取れなかった部分、relentlessです。by 相方氏 もちろん私は知らなかった言葉。容赦ないとか無慈悲なというような意味だそうで。覚えたけども使うことはなさそうな...？ｗ twitter.com/mfntmfnt/statu…

He has thrilled Sumo fans in many matches such as the one in which he broke Yokozuna Hakuho's 63 match winning streak. In 2017 fans were thrilled to witness the first Japan-born Yokozuna in 19 years. In the tournament immediately after his promotion, he sustained a severe injury

to his upper body. But he continued to compete, he surprised everyone by winning the championship. He struggled to recover from the injury though, and later missed many tournaments as a result. This January, 32yrs old Kisenosato announced his retirement, just

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

two years after becoming a Yokozuna. H: Kakka, what are your thoughts on KIsenosato's retirement? D: I was so disapointed because everyone was rooting for him to make a come-back. H: Kisenosato has now involve to the new career, as a stable master.

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

D: Kisenosato always approached the sport with a sincerity both inside and outside of the ring. He is respected for showing a good sportsmanship. I'm sure this will be reflected in the way he coaches his students.

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

H: Kakka, as we have mentioned it looks like Sumo is at the crossroad with many new faces trying to take centre stage. Do you think this trend will continue? D:（ﾁｯﾁｯﾁｯﾁｯﾁ）Well, wait a minute Hiro, there is one man we can never forget. Yokozuna Hakuho.

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

When Hakuho is in top form, there's still no one who can compete with him. There is no question he is the top dog. He has so many weapons, and there are so few ways to stop them. H: I totally agree, Kakka. I think I step in to the ring in good shape as no one even comes

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

close to Hakuho. All right and finally, Kakka, for the second half of 2019, what should fans do to enjoy Sumo more? D: I think people will get more from the matches if they are familiar with each wrestlers' style. So I advise fans to study and know the favourite techniques and

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

lethal attacks of each one. H: Absolutely. Knowing of their strong and weak points let you see and dissect what is really happening in the ring. Well Demonkakka, Thank you as always for your sharp insites. D: Thank you Hiro, it's my pleasure. And Sumo fans, see you again soon.

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

堂伝: That was Hiro Morita and Demonkakka looking back on Sumo highlights so far and giving us a sneak preview of what to look forward to for the rest of the year. For Sumo fans all eyes are traind on 42 time champion Hakuho, he will return to the action for the first time

⌘MFNT⌘ @mfntmfnt

since March, to try and show everyone that he is still the king of the ring. By the way, the tournament will start on Sunday in Nagoya, is one of the toughest to win as it is held in grueling heat and humidity of summer. That's it for Newsline In Depth, thank you...
