[Yoshikaze's abnormal helicopter arm warm-up seems to be giving him powers]
fifteen days of bouts,
break them down to trinities -
start, middle, and end
your beginning must build the
necessary momentum
this is not unlike
rikishi’s initial blast
after both hands touch Earth
middle trinity would be
regaining a strong balance
this establishes
chance at final trinity -
defeating failure
thus that first five basho bouts
creates your trajectory
Yoshikaze has
been makuuchi mainstay
for over ten years
one basho runner-up in
all that time, zero titles
his lowest ranking
in a decade as well, he’s
come out with real fight
positioned in second bout of day
means shrinking banzuke name
but Yoshikaze,
undefeated, maintains that
momentum fifth day
Chiyomaru is one of
sumo’s most mountainous men
but Yoshikaze
attacks with veteran’s keen
patient awareness
surviving Chiyomaru’s
initial blast, then grounding
without shook footings,
Yoshikaze thrusts the big
opponent backwards
and just like that, accomplished
a perfect first trinity
bigger opponents
await though, with six other
men still unbeaten
all three yokozuna, plus
an ozeki, and two more
ain’t no basho
like Tokyo basho because…
well, it’s gonna stop
but we’ve gone through the first third,
and no one’s taken control
