We are watching Aonishiki's yokozuna run, Kirishima's attempt to string together 33 wins over 3 tournaments and regain his ozeki status, rising stars like Fujiseiun, Fuijiryoga, and more. There's already so much to discuss - injuries, the mirror records of our 2 yokozuna, growing rivalries, polkadots, and dimples.

We're chatting about the latest happenings in the world of sumo wrestling, including our own planning for our Valentine's Day episode, the announcement of bingo winners, and a detailed recap of the January 2026 tournament from days 9 to 15.
