Dohyo Download 0155: Two Oyakata in a Trench Coat

The clash occurred and an explosion of energy rocks the entire ruins, hurling everyone inside back several feet. When the dust clears, neither Genbu nor the Dragon Yokozuna has moved from their initial impact in the center of the dohyo… this means that there is hope for the entire group to overcome the odds that the legend said could never be overcome. The match continues…

Dohyo Download 0154: You Saved Me From Being Alone

Genbu stepped forward in challenge to the Dragon Yokozuna. The stare down was epic as neither of them could look away. That is when Genbu noticed there seemed to be a crowd around them. In fact, all of them noticed that the previously empty ruins were filled to the top with spectators ready to watch this greatest bout in time…

Dohyo Download 0153: You Ate, I Fart

The bang was the large stone door opening for the entering of the dragon man entering the arena. His scales and tail imposing but even more imposing is that he wears the rope of a Yokozuna. “I think he’s the reigning Dragon Yokozuna of this ancient dohyo,” Tamanosato exclaims as the group prepares themselves for the greatest fight of their lives against a legendary being they never thought they’d meet…

Dohyo Download 0152: Enkaga Said I’m Right

Investigating the dohyo in the ruins, Tamanosato and Genbu discover that there is still salt in the ancient baskets in the corners. When they each tough this ancient salt they are transported into the past where they are greeted by the warriors of the past: Kaitetsu, Asanosato, Shitayama, and Enkaga. There they must join forces as the Grand Tournament of Champions is soon to begin as hand woven banners of past champions Kunousagi, Ono, and Ryukaze adorn the walls. Just then, a loud bang causes all of them to turn as the competition enters…

Dohyo Download 0151: I’m Straight, But Ura…

Bolting upright in the jungles of Colombia, Tamanosato wakes up to discover he’s all alone and unable to speak the local language. While wandering around, he does come across some ancient ruins and his best friend, Genbu. Inside the ruins is a giant arena, with a dohyo perfectly sitting in the center lit by a perfectly carved hole in the roof. The two of them look at each other in amazement as they make their way down the stone steps…

Dohyo Download 0150: Hatchiyoo!

An epic 150th Epiversary tournament, the 2nd Dohyo Download Open Tournament, happens LIVE on the show seeing the top three finishers receive prizes in an epic throw down of proportions that cannot be measured against anything except food… like a buffet (and a big one at that). Genbu, Kaitetsu, and Tamanosato host a bevy of others to include, but not limited to: Asanosato, Kunousagi, Shitayama, Chousanrishi, Ryukaze, Haregato, Ono, Kamahiko, Aoiyamayama, Hitouki, Akumazan, Kanikama, Ittomaro, Enkaze, Kotowazasato, Takakuragawa-oyakata, Inazaru, Daisashoryu, and Yoshinochin (I’m sorry if I left anyone out, but there was so much going on I couldn’t catch everyone). With all of that, we didn’t even get to the Champ/Chump finale (we will do that NEXT week) and there is so much more to come in the future as we start to try working towards a cleaner and more professional format moving forward.

The Champ/Chump season 8 is coming to a close, which means now is the time to start thinking about SEASON 9! There is talk we will start using the IRL banzuke and IRL rikishi, so if you’re interested in THAT being the Champ/Chump for you, then let Genbu know ASAP because we don’t necessarily have to do a LIVE draft for that one and can include MORE folks in the process! Yep, more fun for all.

Dohyo Download 0149: This is Not a Culinary Podcast

Genbu is embarking on a trip to the dohyo when he experiences a premonition — he sees the Kokugikan explode moments after the basho begins. Genbu insists that everyone get out of the building and 3 people (Shitayama, Tamanosato, and Kunousagi) including Genbu, are forced to leave. All watch as the Kokugikan actually explodes in a fireball. He and the other survivors have briefly cheated death, but will not be able to evade their fate for very long. One by one, these fugitives from fate fall victim to the banzuke committee.

Several podcasters fall prey to Dice Maiden, a disfigured mangler who preys on the players in their matches — which, in turn, ruins their chances in reality.
