Is Daionosato’s Strength Truly Genuine?
When I talk with my friends, the topic of sumo wrestlers often comes up. Particularly regarding Daionosato’s recent strength, opinions tend to vary widely. To be honest, I was initially skeptical, wondering, “Is he really that strong?” But after watching his matches, I’ve come to
believe that his relative strength is undoubtedly real.
Overwhelming Power Against Opponents
For instance, seeing him win convincingly against strong competitors like Wakatakakage, Kotonowaka, and Takayasu makes it clear that luck alone isn’t the reason for his success. Watching his matches feels almost like a comedy performance, with moments that make me laugh despite the tension. Yet, behind that entertainment lies the daily effort and training, which is evident in his serious expressions.
About His Style of Change
Of course, there are criticisms about his sumo style, particularly regarding his use of slaps and changes in technique. When I first saw that style, I thought, “Hmm, I wish he would stick to more traditional sumo.” However, that style might be well-suited for today’s era, and it reflects a challenge for other wrestlers who struggle to adapt. I recall a time when I went to watch sumo with friends and felt the tension as the wrestlers stepped onto the ring, realizing just how much energy is invested in those brief moments of competition. My friend was so excited, exclaiming, “This is real fighting!” and I got swept up in that atmosphere.
Evaluation from Others
People often say that the current level of wrestlers is low, but when I watch the matches, I can see how hard they are working. While there are criticisms, witnessing them compete on the ring makes me think it’s essential to rely on my own observations rather than just the opinions of critics. Ultimately, I look forward to seeing how Daionosato grows in the future, especially in his match against Hoshoryu. I’m excited to see him overcome challenges and become even stronger.
