geeze...don’t let MSM see this. He bowed back to the sumo wrestler...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not certain about Sumo, but in many martial arts it is customary for combatants to bow to their teacher before a match, as well as to any other recognized masters in attendance.
It is not uncommon for the master(s) or grandmaster(s) to acknowledge the respect by returning the bow.
