A sumoforumon írták Asáról. (Remélem, mindenki ért angolul, ha nem, majd megpróbálom lefordítani.)

It's quite possible I'm repeating myself, but allow me to quote Sun-Tzu and a certain female SF writer whose name I have forgotten. This is all from memory so necessarily distorted, but the essence is the same.

"The best generals are those you don't notice, since they never get themselves in desperate situations that need heroic victories to end well."

"Why do I like Astaire better than Gene Kelly? When Kelly dances, you can see what effort it costs him, and how hard the dancing at that level really is. When Astaire dances, it looks as if anyone could do it."

Asashoryu is Astaire of sumo, a general so good it is easier to blame weak opponents than to recognize his worth.
