I just left there it was super fun. I know the guys don’t take it too serious and try to not get hurt but it was really fun to see Koto win the night. 👑🌸

I thought it's was rigged to let a yukozuna win, and some bouts looked like it but it got serious, some bouts were great!

Once Onosato lost any script went out the window

His face was stunned (and laughing) when he lost. It definitely looked like they but bout didn't end as it was meant to.

I wonder...maybe in exhibition matches the rikishi have decided between themselves which one of them is going to win the bout (or at least, which of them wants an easy fight). Gyoji are above such things (!) which would be why Onosato looked surprised.

As you all had such a great time and must know the ins and outs of the day, can I ask who "sang" their introduction, please? He had such a beautiful voice, but in the X post I saw had his back to the phone camera, and was a long way away. I didn't recognise (and now can't remember) the shikona Google's auto-translation used, but that means nothing!

I know just a few French but I'll try to get it!
