Fujinokawa finds shallow double underhooks against Aonishiki that prevents the ozeki from his preferred inside left but after an overarm throw attempt Aoni ends up with an overarm left but his underarm right is across the Fuji's body center on the front the belt.

Simply amazing sumo here.
Gonoyama comes with a hard drive but Onosato gets a slap down that plants Gono hard on the dirt. Effective this time but it feels like the yokozuna likes those retreating slap down attempts that often don't work for him.
