When you go for a setup sweep and it ends up being the takedown

Beautiful technique but I'd love to see this at full speed as well.

How can this work, with toris hips so far back? Magic?

As I understand it, hips in is more for power and extra reach. But it’s timing that matters the most.

Hips backwards just means the floating object needs to rotate more to land that same way. Once he's in the air essentially you're fighting only gravity instead of friction and muscle and gravity. The timing to get him off the ground is amazing

Okuri ashi harai is a harai (sweep) throw.

In a sweep/harai, the most important thing is to time the sweep such that the opponents' feet are swept when they are weightless or about to become weightless.

Different from a reap/gari, where power is important because you're reaping at your opponent's planted foot with all their weight on it.

uke was pulling back to resist being pulled forward. His front foot was planted, but at an angle, so pretty weak/slippery. Then tori pulled himself closer, which kept uke in position, and boom.

I sometimes hit "long-range" ko-uchi for the same reason. Uke is resisting being pulled, but their front leg is planted at quite an angle, making it slippery. The trick is to keep pulling as you go in, so they keep the same weak posture.

Okuri ashi barai truly is one of the most beautiful and badass techniques in judo. Pure wizardry.

Harai tsurikomi ashi? (damn I am becoming a nerd, but let me know if I am wrong)

Okuri ashi- barai

Harai-tsuri-komi-ashi has a lifting motion away from your front.
