Tachiai So Strong, The Crowd Gasped

In his second match of Natsu, Texas sumotori Wakaichiro won a decisive victory against Asahiomoto. Coming off the tachiai, Wakaichiro delivered a massive blast that rang out across the Kokugikan, drawing a gasp of surprise and concern from fans.

The collision pushed Asahiomoto high, and seemed to disorient him for a moment, which was all it took for Wakaichiro to drive him from the dohyo.
