Shishi definitely has a unique way of setting up before the tachiai. Not sure if it’s against any rules but of course the sumo board doesn’t generally like anything new.
I know, right? And they’re up against each other tonight! Aw I’m gonna have to stay up for that, and I just barely recovered from the last time I stayed up!
Agreed. But what’s up with that little hand-wave that Onokatsu does at the beginning at like 0:30? He’s not just putting his hand out, he’s waving like dismissively. I don’t think Shishi even saw it, but it was a little weird. I know if I went by someone and made that gesture they’d be like: wtf?

Shishi does not quite move forward as much as other rikishi do, right? It’s quite interesting and seems to work out well for him so far.
Love to see both Ukrainians in makuuchi!
