The May 2022 Grand Sumo Tournament is almost upon us! In this episode we take a look at the Natsu banzuke, try to make sense of why various rikishi were moved up or down the ranks, and indulge our wicked fantasies. We also show a little love for the winners of the 2022 US Sumo National Championships, and then get all riled up about some fascist jerks in the 1920s who wouldn't just let girls do sumo in the movie 'The Chrysanthemum and the Guillotine.'"
