Synopsis
In professional sumo, there are no weight classes. It's a savage sport where the strongest survive, and anyone willing to test their mettle can step into the ring. There is, however, a minimum size requirement to be a pro sumo wrestler, and young Hinomaru Ushio, incredibly talented and hardworking though he may be, does not meet that requirement. This small boy has big dreams of reaching the highest class of sumo, Hinoshita Kaisan. The only way he could possibly go pro is if he becomes the High School Yokozuna, a title given to the strongest wrestler in high school tournaments. Ushio is under a lot of pressure, as well as a time limit. If he can't show off his skills in the high school tournaments, he may lose his chance to go pro permanently, and the odds are stacked against him. Instead of enrolling in Ishigami High, the best school for sumo in Japan, he enrolls in Odachi High and must build a sumo club from the ground up with the one devout member Shinya Ozeki. Odachi High is the true underdog of the sumo world, but Ushio has to push forward with all his strength if he is going to make it professionally.

Filming a sacred sumo ring without permission is a serious violation of cultural traditions.
Ozeki's deep confidence in Ushio's path to becoming the High School Yokozuna is very admirable.
A female sumo club manager is a wonderful and welcoming idea for the team
Sada's unusually aggressive attacks on unexpected areas of Ushio's body showed a complete lack of professionalism from him and his team
Sanada's intentional false start against Ozeki was highly unprofessional and unsportsmanlike
It is honestly so heartwarming to watch Ushio and Ozeki look back at how everything started. Seeing them reminisce about those early days really shows just how far they have come as friends and teammates.
Ushio's exceptional skills would definitely make him a great professional sumo wrestler and a valuable asset to any stable.
The best instructors truly excel by instilling deep belief and confidence in their athletes. This mental strength often matters just as much as the physical training.
