Most frustrated you've ever seen the Japanese crowd?

I'm no expert but I've watched every sumo tournament since 2020 so I've seen quite a few matches. I don't remember ever seeing anything like this month's Day 9 match with Shishi doing a henka on Tamawashi. Now it's obvious why the crowd was mad as Tamawashi is a beloved veteran, clearly injured at 0-8, and maybe in one of the last tournaments of his long career. But it still shocked me how loud the crowd was afterwards. You don't see that very often. But is there a better historical example?
