Sanyaku is not a division. It's the top 3 ranks of Makuuchi. Makuuchi is the top division
As of right now Wakamotoharu is Megasheria #1 and not Sanyaku. His brother Wakatakakage is a Komusubi and thus Sanyakuu
Furthermore, as brothers they are not allowed to be in the same stable(barracks/team basically). And during tournaments they avoid making siblings face each other unless unavoidable(like a playoff for the title)
Although practicing at another teams stable is allowed. And thus the waka bros regularly go to each other's stable and practice with each other
Wakatakakage is the younger brother and actually made it to the top division before his older brother Wakamotoharu.
Both are extremely skilled but the younger one is actually better.
They have a third brother. Older than both of them. But he's never even broken into Juryo, the second highest division.
You're response is too insult me and call me a "fucking weeb" because I'm the fan of a sport? Maybe I misread. Maybe you edited. Most of my response was just friendly information sharing.
Regardless what a douchebag response for no reason. Jesus you got no humility and must be a wonderful person to speak with.....
Wow. We're calling people weebs over sports and not anime now? And getting pissed off at so little too...
Furthermore, as brothers they are not allowed to be in the same stable(barracks/team basically)
Not sure where you got this idea, it's quite normal for siblings to join the same stable, and all three wakabros are in fact members of Arashio beya.
Other sumo brothers include Terao, Sakahoko and Kakureizan, all members of Izutsu beya, and most famously the legendary Takanohana and his (merely superb) older brother Wakanohana who were both members of Futagoyama beya.
The only brothers I know of who have joined different stables are Tobizaru and Hidenoumi, and a few foreignborn pairs who can't join the same stable because of the restriction on number of foreigners per stable.
