So...what is a bonzuke anyway?


I was thinking the same thing. What is so unbeatable about the bonzuke? or better yet, why is THIS particular bonzuke unbeatable? Well i have done some research and this is what i found: "A banzuke (番付?), officially called banzuke-hyō (番付表?) is a document listing the rankings of professional sumo wrestlers published before each official tournament or honbasho. The term can also refer to the rankings themselves."

hmm that still doesn't really help me because this definition combined with the word "unbeatable" does not translate well into english. oh well. i love the show anyways. i really with they would change the title though. change it to "unbeatable list of rankings".
