If two yusho in a row are enough to make it to yokozuna, why wouldn’t it be enough to be promoted to ozeki?

Daimanazuru DID get promoted from Ms16 way back in 2003

No, but if Abi does it it I wonder if they’ll promote him to Ozeki

Terunofuji: “I once had 17 losses in a row as sekitori!” Terutsuyoshi: “Hold my beer!”

Terunofuji’s rank on his page should be Ye1YO instead of Ye1 for this basho

Ex-Toyonoshima out of kabu and leaving the NSK

But unfortunately no yokozuna dohyo-iri during which to shout “YUSHO”

Ichinojo will be the new record holder in march

Terutsuyoshi is only the fifth makuuchi rikishi ever with a 0-15 record. Three of the previous ones retired soon after their 0-15 and the fourth one never made it back to the dop divison

Abi: first with 3 consecutive 12-3’s while ranked as maegashira

Kyokushuzan comes to mind

Two brothers in the sanyaku sorio-bumi togehther (Wakatakakage and Wakamotoharu). I guess it has been a while since that last happened… maybe with two other Waka-Taka brothers… edit: Hatsu 1999

This is really ridiculous…

Try Waka-Taka

Fight rikishi that are closely rankend to each other on consecutive days

Kotonowaka vs Oho Their respective fathers (Kotonowaka vs Takatoriki) and grandfathers (Kotozakura vs Taiho) faced each other too on the dohyo.

Terunofuji barely wins the battle of wounded knee(s)

Tamashoho vs Atamifuji: day 14 Kyushu 2021 (last bout of the basho for both) day 1 Hatsu 2022 (first bout of the basho for both) Have two opponents (in the lower divisions) ever faced each other in consecutive matches, excluding playoffs?

A ward award. Awkward!

Just wondering: if the gyoji had noticed the hairpull in the beginning of the bout, I suppose he could have immediately stopped the match and declare Takakeisho the winner? Has such a thing ever happened before? I was under the impression they only call hansoku when a bout is allready over and when the hansoku directly lead to your opponent falling down or out

Ichinojo was robbed. The “hairpull” had no influence on the outcome of the bout

Guess he will be drinking wine in Georgia pretty soon…

+ all makuuchi ranks up to M11. Damn you Asanoyama!

The end of an era

This is really getting ridiculous
