Ushio may be small but he's ready to prove he's got enough heft to throw his weight around in the sumo ring.

The divine ritual, the sacred martial art-it's sumo. Get ready to feel the heat and sweat the big stuff in the world of sumo wrestling. Ushio Hinomaru may be small but he's ready to prove himself in the ring. But in a sport where you're literally throwing your weight around, he'll need more heft than heart to succeed. The battle for the Hinoshita Kaisan begins now!.—Funimation

In professional sumo, there are no weight classes. It's a savage sport where the strongest survive, and anyone willing to test their mettle can step into the ring. There is, however, a minimum size requirement to be a pro sumo wrestler, and young Hinomaru Ushio, incredibly talented and hardworking though he may be, does not meet that requirement. This small boy has big dreams of reaching the highest class of sumo, Hinoshita Kaisan. The only way he could possibly go pro is if he becomes the High School Yokozuna, a title given to the strongest wrestler in high school tournaments. Ushio is under a lot of pressure, as well as a time limit. If he can't show off his skills in the high school tournaments, he may lose his chance to go pro permanently, and the odds are stacked against him. Instead of enrolling in Ishigami High, the best school for sumo in Japan, he enrolls in Odachi High and must build a sumo club from the ground up with the one devout member Shinya Ozeki. Odachi High is the true underdog of the sumo world, but Ushio has to push forward with all his strength if he is going to make it professionally.—MAL Rewrite
