Really fun day of matches. Hakuoho vs Hiradoumi was a banger. Ura's somersault into the crowd was spectacular and he almost beat Waka-T a second before it. Tokihayate is still doing great, it'll be interesting to see how far into the Joi he can keep winning. Tobizaru's foot sweep move was cool. Plenty to get excited about today.

'Yasu seemed to run out of ideas after his initial tsuppari barrage went nowhere. If you take time to think against Hoshoryu, you're not gonna have a good day.
It looked like Takayasu was trying to get a belt grab on his left side (Hoshoryu's right side) but Hoshoryu fought it off. But yeah, I'm sure it was getting tough to think.
I think, according to an automated translation of this article:

Hoshoryu was reprimanded for that extra push of Tayakasu at the end.
thanks for the clarification
He seems to push Takayasu after he already got out and he stays put to stare him down
19 seconds into the fight Takayasu was out of the ring. He's know to just stop fighting when it's obvious he won't win. Hoshoryu had a hold on Takayasu's arm. At that moment, Hoshoryu had a choice: hold on to Takayasu's arm and keep him safely on the raised platform, or shove him down, possibly injuring him. Hoshoryu chose to shove him down, and glare.
That's a great pro wrestling move, but I'm a little surprised to see a yokozuna do it.
Hoshoryu has a strong "Get out of my dohyo" vibe. Actually Ryuden has a similar vibe, but Hosh makes it look cool.
