* Ashigara's 4 star title of "Tug of War Champion." is a mistranslation. 国引き (Kunibiki) is based off an old story where man ties a rope around the country and pulls it in. 綱取り (tsunatori) is the word for when a sumo wrestler who is rank oozeki (the 2nd highest rank in sumo) is aiming for the rank of yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo. His title is calling him the oozeki ranked sumo wrestler so strong he can pull a country. The mistranslation probably came from that 国引き and 綱取り share similar kanji the as 綱引き, the Japanese word for tug of war. | |||
