322: Underperforming Yokozuna. Futahaguru and Yoshibayama
Today's episode is full of strange history - a yokozuna who never won a top division yusho, another yokozuna whose career was affected by war wounds, sumo arenas used for building bombs that drifted across the oceans to land in the US, wrestling, Hollywood, health issues.

321: Sumo Under Pressure
All sumo wrestlers deal with injury. But when you're at the top, the pressure to get back in the ring and win is enormous. Both yokozuna, Onosato and Hoshoryu, feel that pressure. Onosato's tears after his last yusho illustrate that pressure. Hoshoryu's apologies also show the pressure he's under. So, we looked at earlier yokozuna, especially the ones that "under performed." The ones who dealt with injury. What was demanded of them? How did they fare? How much time were they afforded before they were "encouraged" to retire? Realistically, how much time does Hoshoryu have to get back into fighting shape?
