[sumo] [spoiler] Revenge time
Asashouryuu does not like losing. He hates giving up kinboshis. When
that happens, he usually "rewards" the guy who beat him with a deserving
punishment. This time, it was the 179 kilo Iwakiyama, who beat him on
day 5 of Aki basho. Result: today during the Aki jungyo, he was
clobbered 4 times by Asa, 3 by tsuriotoshi. The Yokozuna went 8-0 today,
winning 4 by tsuriotoshi, otherwise known as the "Asashouryuu special".
The other guy to be on the receiving end of it was Kakizoe. "I was
gentle with them today after the initial tsuri, now wasn't I??", joked
Asa. This is a known course of action taken by many past Yokozuna: After
losing to a guy in honbasho, they try to intimidate him during training,
and try to make him "pay" for his "brashness".
"Well, I'm still alive somehow.... I knew I'd be called out as his
opponent, but this is the first time I have ever been tsuried.",
Iwakiyama said quietly. "I'd like to liven things up even more during
this Jungyo!!", declared Asa.
