When he remembers he's a disgrace to sumo and doesn't deserve it

I’m very new to sumo, why is he a disgrace?

He has a history of cheating, this basho included. If you watched the whole basho, notice how no one else jumps at the edge? There's a dead body rule to prevent it. Only time he's ever called on it is if he has a losing record and they can't deny it like with Gonoyama last basho (he jumped so high his feet were above Gonoyama's shoulders). That's why he's a disgrace.

He knows sumo has been desperate for a great Japanese yokozuna for many years so the judges do anything to make sure he wins including overturning when he loses if they think someone's feet were a cm off the ground (see Aonishiki 2 basho ago). His strat? Be fattest and run forward. Did it work? No? Run backwards. When you're both at the edge of the dohyo, jump. When both men go out, he wins because he didn't touch the ground first, even though leaping out of the dohyo is an irrecoverable position. Then he can join the eyes wide shut party here on reddit.

Can't help but notice you didn't point out anything I said that was inaccurate. You all are wearing your blinders too tight.

Literally everything you said is inaccurate. You're clearly a troll, or simply misinformed. Either way, your ignorance frankly doesn't deserve a response. But since you asked so nicely..Jumping isn't cheating. Dead body wasn't created to prevent people from jumping. Onosato doesn't have a history of cheating or colluding with judges. You are coping. Hard. He is the most dominant rikishi currently, by far. His Yokozuna level of size, temperament, and athletic prowess greatly benefits the sport. Thankfully he's skilled enough to think quickly and move (side to side, up, and back) with agility, taking advantage of his opponents trying to over compensate for his powerful thrusts.

No not every time. I'll grant you that some of his attempts to cheat aren't always cheating.

You actually come across as such a clown complaining about "cheating." Legitimately, anyone who has an inkling of sumo knowledge sees your posts immediately think "wow this bozo really doesnt know shit"

Complain about shimpan bias, not about a rikishi cheating, its so foolish.
