I followed his whole career in the top division of sumo. Asashoryu was strong, fast, ambitious, bright and gifted but also self-centered and prone to bullying. He can be expected to be ruthless, aggressive and self-serving in whatever he chooses to do now that he is out of sumo. If I was a Mongolian I would fear him and not trust him. Compassion for the weak is contrary to the world of sumo. Asashoryu can be expected to carry out his affairs with little if any compassion for others in Mongolia.
That sounds very contradictory to what Sumo represent right? I mean, he must of been REALLY good to earn Yokozuna right? I would of thought attitude and how you represent yourself also matters if the rank structure does it not? P.s. I'm extremely new with sumo. But have fallen in love with it.
@@bbq878 Look up the career and biography of Futahaguro (also known as Kitao), a yokozuna from the mid to late 1980s. He was expelled from sumo for becoming physically abusive towards the wife of his stablemaster, and he was known to bully lower ranked members of his stable. We can't hear his side of the story anymore, as he died recently. Most yokozunas represent sumo honorably, but not all of them.
@@pukulu Difference between Kitao and Asashoryu, Asashoryu actually have power and skills to back his ambition. But I agree with you, he is too self-centered and now in Mongolia, there are four types of people when hear his name. 1st group hate him for obvious reasons and 2nd group defend him for being good wrestler saying one need to be aggressive and dominant to be good wrestler. For me I have conflicted feeling which of course I love his wrestling but don't like his outside of sumo behaviour which include me in third group. Fourth group don't know who the f*** he is.
This is different though is it not? Clearly he has always loved his country as well as his fellow countrymen. I would argue that he does in fact actually care for Mongolia and its people, rather than have aims to ruthlessly exploit his homeland. What say ye after 12 years friend!?
@@trevorroberts8557 Honestly I don't know. I heard that he has some sort of physical ailment now, maybe cancer. Maybe it's only a rumor. A part of his genetic legacy continues through ozeki Hoshoryu, who is good but not close to Asashoryu's former level in sumo.
A very special human being Asashoryu , unfortunately for the sumo commission he wasn't to their flavor , but I believe that every fan of sumo loved him and I'm glad to see him doing so well for himself and his people
He was set up. The guy he beat up was a Japanese gangster. The sumo commission tricked him into retiring. He was becoming too popular and did not follow traditional ways in sumo.
Yeah, it was also said that japanese gangster keeps annoying asashoryu They used that guy to fight asashoryu simply because he is too dominant well in the end we have hakuho that dominate sumo world and eventually become the GOAT of sumo
I truly proud of him what he did in Japan. But he is no person of bussines and Politics. In mongolia he is just a THUG with lots of money. We should not praise this kind of man.
@@bigjmac08 His father is very well respected wrestler in Mongolia, he is also. From the very young age he was very well known thug in the UB. His parents sent him to Japan, where he can properly educated by Japanese strict culture. After his retirement, he had already earned a lot of money from SUMO. But he was not educated properly by the Japanese. His nature is very violent and aggressive. He bullies so many people and still in UB.
That laugh gets me all the time. Miss this guy competing :)
I missed you, I love you your my Champion I'm support your dreams and the desire of your hearts❤❤❤🇯🇵
Asashoryu es el mejor forever
I want that statue!

So glad you didn't leave mongolia like hakuho did, what a shame to forget his mongol roots

Why is he a thug?
