Added 2025-01-23 12:45:01 +0000 UTCMy Day 12 coverage kicks off with this Ukrainian showdown in the Juryo Division.
J4 Shishi and J5 Aonishiki both enter this match with the same 10-1 record. Whoever wins will emerge as the sole leader going into the final few days.
We also see the kyujo announcement for J13 Wakaikari who pulled out of the tournament today.

Aonishiki looks like a young Gagamaru

The fact that he is doing this well at this early stage in his career is extremely promising. I love both wrestlers' styles and am thrilled to see them doing so well!

2025-01-23 18:22:58 +0000 UTCHe certainly comes across as awkward but his style gets the job done. Definitely not defensive like Hokuseiho, Shishi never stops moving his feet. I will also say, if you don't think he has a killer instinct watch his match from day 11... he doesn't start the slap fight but he certainly finishes it!

2025-01-23 16:51:46 +0000 UTCShishi reminds me of Hokuseiho. Big, lumbering and awkward.. he doesn’t seem to have a killer instinct
