Sumo matches are based on match-fixing (Essay)

Hakuho

Sumo is Japan's national sport and is also popular among some foreigners. However, this competition is not a sport. Simply put, it's a ``sacred ritual,'' but in reality, it's an unfair competition that often involves match-fixing.

About two years ago, Hakuho, a ``great yokozuna,'' competed after resting in several tournaments and won all of them. (15 wins, 0 losses). I saw it too, and thought it was very suspicious. If he rests for that long, it will be difficult to maintain his physical condition, and even more so, his competitive instincts will dull, and even though he is a great yokozuna, he will barely be able to win (8 wins, 7 losses). That was an all-win victory...I had a hunch that this victory was the result of a lot of match-fixing. After that, I haven't watched any sumo broadcasts.

Unfortunately for the sumo world, Master Takanohana was trying to reform the match-fixing system in sumo...He called himself a ``gachinko wrestler'' and never did match-fixing, but his disciple caused a scandal and he left the sumo world. There is a tacit understanding within the sumo world that any wrestler who does not call himself a ``gachinko wrestler'' is expected to engage in match-fixing.

Chiyonofuji, a ``famous yokozuna'' who is a sibling of the current Sumo Association president, Master Hakkaku, was a match-fixer, and when a fan yelled at him, ``You match-fixing bastard!'', he couldn't say anything back. The same goes for Hakkaku. It's hard to say this to foreigners who enjoy sumo, where match-fixing is commonplace, but ``If you watch a competition like this seriously, you're going to lose money.''

PS: Recently, Master Miyagino (Hakuho) was demoted to two ranks after hiding the fact that his disciple had committed many violent incidents and many match-fixings. It's so possible.

相撲の試合は、八百長で成り立っている（エッセイ）

日本の国技として、一部の外国人にも人気のある相撲。だが、この競技はスポーツではない。良い言いかたをすると「神事」だが、実は八百長がしばしば行われる、アンフェアな競技である。

２年ほど前、「大横綱」の白鵬は、数場所全て休んだあとで出場し、全勝優勝した。（１５勝０敗）。私も見ていたが、たいへん疑わしいと思った。それほど長く休めば、体調の維持も大変で、ましてや勝負勘も鈍り、大横綱とは言え、勝ち越す（８勝７敗）のがやっとであろう。それが全勝優勝・・・私は、この優勝は八百長を積み上げて得たものだと直感した。以後、私は相撲放送を一切見ていない。

相撲界にとって不幸なことに、相撲の八百長体質を改革しようとしていた貴乃花親方・・・この人は「ガチンコ力士」と言って、決して八百長をしなかったのだが、弟子が不祥事を起こし、相撲界から去っていた。相撲界の暗黙の了解として、「ガチンコ力士」を名乗らない力士は、八百長をすることが前提となる。

現在の相撲協会理事長の八角親方の兄弟子の「名横綱」千代の富士は、八百長をやっていて、ファンに「八百長野郎！」と罵倒されても言いかえせなかった。八角も同様だろう。八百長が当たり前の相撲、楽しんでいる外国人には言いにくいが「こんな競技、まじめに見ると、損するよ。」

PS最近、弟子が暴力事件を起こしたことを隠し、宮城野親方（白鵬）が２階級降格された。あり得ることだ。

Cass's turn! Batfam series

Well that's Dick, Jason, and now Cass that I've done time for Steph!

I know I probably will not include a lot of other characters that could be seen as siblings, like in particular Barbara, even tho I add Steph, that's probably mostly because I see Steph and Cass together while I'm not a big fan of Barbara and Dick being together

Edit:

Dick's

Jason's

Boxing and sumo: The authenticity of martial arts

井上尚弥 (Naoya Inoue)

Rei Morishita

I like martial arts, and I used to watch sumo until about two years ago, but Hakuho, who took a break from several tournaments and participated in it, "won undefeated." I felt that "this is nothing but match-fixing," and thought that the Sumo Association would be complicit in the crime, so I stopped watching grand sumo. Then, boxing remains, but Naoya Inoue, who is considered to be the so-called "pound for pound" (the world's strongest in all boxing classes), can no longer be seen on TV. Since the last title match, it has become an exclusive broadcast on Amazon, and you can barely watch it on YouTube the next day, and you can't enjoy the "realism". The recent 4-group unification match ended without seeing it. I can't see an interesting boxing match...I'm a little dissatisfied.

A0153

I don't see boxing as a barbaric sport. But I love sumo. Even though there is a tensioner. Both are battles to beat the other. why. When I was in college, there were people in the dormitory who were into "Tomorrow's Joe." I was indifferent.

SPYBOY

I don't watch boxing either. It's scary to watch a fistfight. For A0153's generation, "Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe) " must have been popular. That picture scared me too.

　

Here is my reply and the reactions of two idiots on the Japanese "Hatena Blog". A0153 is an old man with a peculiar peace blur among Japanese people. He is a stupid old man who says, "If Japan declares its military neutrality, both the USA and China will provide weapons." He is no longer a man who can have a decent discussion. SPYBOYs are cowardly bastards who shy away from anything that they should put their hearts into dealing with because they're "scary", and they're idiots who can't justify the orthodox boxing manga "Tomorrow's Joe" in Japan. Boxing is "war itself", and those who cannot face it are not men. By the way, Japan's "national sport" sumo is a pseudo-sport where match-fixing is rampant, and I don't watch it.

1971 (2 years after being kicked out at 1969)- Recently turned 19 and short on money, Stanley Pines gets hired by The Administrator as MANN.CO's errand boy alongside Miss Pauling (since the latter was falling behind on her work due to her excessive overworking).

He is saddled with various grunt work such as accompanying Miss Pauling to her arrands of burying bodies, killing and eliminating witnesses; delivering supplies and packages to the mercenary teams; and occasionally even gets to replace some of them for a few battles if they happen to be unavailable on short notice!

Castor Body Hair Updated (+ More Swatches)

I always use "Castor Body Hair," but after the Body Hair update in the game, I wanted the body hair I use to integrate more seamlessly with the game mechanics. Therefore, I updated some of my favorite options by separating the parts and adding more swatches. I also created some new options, like "Armpit Only." Maybe in the future, I'll update all the options Castor created. All credit goes to the original creator, @castorsims.

Download;

Merged.

Arm: Light, Heavy, Armpit Only.

Back: Heavy.
