It looked to me like Kirishima made a mistake in going for that hatakikomi without having his feet in the right place for it. If he was half a step to his left before starting that he wouldn't have lost his balance and could have won from there.

    NHK just posted their highlights video, which contains additional angles: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/5113008/

    if you forward to 21:02, you can see Churanoumi's left hand was a large part of making Kirishima lose his balance (this is hard to see in other videos.)

    They're posting these the same day now? Sweeeet. Kinda looked like K took a headbutt to the side of his head too.

    They have a "live" 50 minute version of the second half of day 8 up on the app right now that shows a lot of angles of that move at around the 24 minute mark.
