• We talk about some very adult things in this episode. Not for kiddos.*

Tomokaze and Oshoumi are both wrestling in the top division in November, 2025. Tomokaze has wrestled in makuuchi before, but he sustained a big, nasty injury.

Oshoumi is brand new to this top division, but he has also battled injuries to get here.

Learn more about their stories in this episode.
