Rocks

Especially when you consider he couldn't win a Makushita or Juryo Yusho.

It sure did look like he hand touched.

On Youtube just search "sumo aki 2024" then filter by upload date.

They never call this. I've seen Ura jump at someone to push them out and the whole top of his foot drags. They don't call it. This may be in the rule book but IMO it's not in action.

I expect he will retire but might stick around and go kyujo for November, retiring when he drops to Juryo. Start the New Year as a Oyakata. With reaching Ozeki, 4 top division Yusho and 1 in every other division except Sadanme I think he has done everything he could have ever hoped to do as a rikishi in sumo. Even if he returned there is zero chance he'll ever get Yokozuna.

I would agree. Tobizaru's foot is touching ground inside ring when Kotozakura touches out. Even if Tobizaru wasn't the aggressor he's the last man standing.

Yes, looks like Takakeisho is out. Unless I'm reading this wrong. https://www.nishinippon.co.jp/item/o/1256742/

It's not on the website

I would wholeheartedly agree with this, but not as a compliment. I checked out this game a while back and skipped it exactly because it reminded me of Fantasy Sumo. One only wonders at what point, to avoid the inevitable stack of winners when the most obvious picks all perform well, KC moves to putting rikishi in the group they "should" be in rather than their actual rank, like Wakatakkage and Takaysu in Sanyaku the way Fantasy would, essentially putting the obvious picks together and limiting the ability to pick them to one or two rather than all 5. KC is basically Roto but limited to macuuchi. Roto works better because adding the Juryo picks gives a bit more differentiation. That said I think KC's popularity comes down to the minimal pick, simple and well made site with simple login, partially. The other factor, as I think it was with Fantasy, is having someone with a large following pushing people towards it. In this case a Sumo streamer, who coincidentally won last KC, mentioning it a number of times each stream. It would be nice to see the older game sites updated a bit. At the very least, despite the fact I love it per tradition, removing the banzuke page background (and other graphic/textured) which makes things almost unreadable.

Does Takakeisho have a kabu?

The basho doesn't start for a week, right?

And Congrats to @Pandaazuma on another green Mawashi! Good to see that top form again.

It looks like they go airborne exactly at the same time. Onosato touches first but both are well outside at that point. Should have been a redo IMHO.

@Pandaazuma Not that this would have effected the results of my 2 matches so far but Sumo Game is listing Kotozakura as Kyujo, and so a loss, each day. He did lose Day1 so no harm but he won today.
