Welcome back to SumoSpirit! The Natsu Basho 2026 has turned into one of the most chaotic grand sumo tournaments in recent memory. With Onosato, Aonishiki, and Hoshoryu all withdrawing in the opening days, the path to the yūshō has opened wide — and Kirishima has seized the moment, going undefeated and dominating every opponent in his way. Meanwhile, Ozeki Kotozakura is in serious trouble, struggling to find his rhythm and slipping closer to a losing record that could shake his future in sumo wrestling 2026. In this video, we break down the first eight days of the May Basho in Tokyo, bout by bout — from Wakatakakage's powerful rise as a real yūshō contender, to Takayasu's emotional run cut short by injury, to the shocking collapse of Kotozakura at the worst possible time. We also cover the biggest sumo highlights, key kimarite, and what each result means for the rest of the tournament.
