My Take
I have a real soft spot for the little guys who go toe-to-toe with giants, and Terutsuyoshi is exactly that. A sumo wrestler out of Hyōgo, which already feels off-script since the sport tends to mint its heroes up north, he showed up to the dohyō undersized in a world built for mass and just refused to be moved. There's something I genuinely love about a wrestler whose whole appeal is effort you can see, the salt throw, the slap of the mawashi, the willingness to take a beating and keep showing up. No flashy gimmick, just heart. Honestly, that scrappy underdog energy is the kind of thing I'll root for every single time.
