Dramatic reversals where wrestlers throw opponents twice their weight or dozens of kilograms heavier are not uncommon. The Japanese archipelago is in an uproar due to these continuous upsets.

Japanese media 'Ameba Times' reported on the 21st that "a wrestler weighing less than half the weight of an active giant wrestler exceeding 250kg emerged victorious," highlighting that "praise is pouring in for the wrestler who defeated an opponent with an overwhelming physique."

According to the report, in a match held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Natsunotoami of the lower-division Sandanme division secured a thrilling throw victory against Dewanojo, a wrestler of the same division.

The reason this match drew particular attention is the terrifying weight difference between the two wrestlers. Natsunotoami weighed 113.2kg, while his opponent Dewanojo weighed a staggering 252kg, resulting in a weight difference of 140kg.

Dewanojo clashed fiercely at the start of the match and attempted strong pressure, but Natsunotoami instantly moved to Dewanojo's side, burrowing deep into his opponent's body. Shaking the giant's center of gravity, he firmly grabbed the area below Dewanojo's crotch with his left hand and then unleashed a powerful throw by utilizing the force of his opponent pushing forward. As the massive 252kg body collapsed onto the sand, the arena was instantly covered in a huge roar and applause.

Japanese fans praised the drama of overturning a 140kg weight difference, saying, "It was a perfect match," and "A thoroughly calculated play."

The drama of overcoming weight limits with technique was not limited to this. In a match held on the 14th prior to this, Yamato, standing 177cm tall and weighing 76.3kg, also took down Yamatoko, who weighed nearly twice as much at 134.4kg.

According to 'Ameba Times', Yamato immediately drove in low and sharply at the start, snatching Yamatoko's right leg with his right hand before the opponent could react. He then pressed his head against Yamatoko's abdomen and pushed upward, rolling the 134kg giant onto the sand. The technique resembled a wrestling tackle. According to Sumo Association data, leg grabs are a rare technique with a very low probability of occurring in actual matches.

In March, Rikishi Urotora (62.5kg), an office worker from the Jonidan (5th division), also sparked major buzz by subduing Takeda (160kg). In a previous match against Kikuchi (123kg), Urotora also secured victory using a leg-grabbing technique, surprising the entire country of Japan.
