This video explores the reasons why the second highest rank in Grand Sumo - Ozeki is called the loneliest rank in sumo. Every sumo wrestler in Japan aspires to climb up the difficult ranking system of Grand Sumo wrestling. But near the top, is Grand Sumo Wrestling's most challenging rank - the rank of Ozeki which is a step below Yokozuna, the pinnacle rank of sumo. Not only are the ozeki expected to perform as great as the Yokozuna in Sumo, they also face high pressures with demotions and injuries. In this essay, I talk about the past and present ozeki and if they had overcome the challenge or not.

Hi! I'm Ter. I write, edit, and produce these videos myself to be able to share my love of sumo wrestling with the rest of the world. I opened a fundraiser to add to my travel budget for when I go to Japan to watch sumo wrestling live! So if you would like to show appreciation for the content I create, please check out [ Ссылка ] and consider donating. Any amount helps me to make more content and keep on producing these videos.

Editors Notes:
This is the first installation of a series of videos I'll be releasing in the channel that covers the Ozeki rank. I also tried my best to go as hard as I could in this video, but I think I can even go further. I think the video is a little too dark background-wise. But I had a comment about my videos being too bright, so I tried to change it up a little bit! What do you think of the editing?
