Asanoyama is collecting (i think) an one of a kind sequenze of jun/yusho here. Start from Sd100TD: Y Makushita ++> Y Makuuchi = J Makuuchi = J Makuuchi = J Makuuchi ---> Y Sandanme ++> Y Juryo +> J Makuuchi ---> Y Sandanme. That Sd21 yusho will send him to Ms15-17. I hope the sequence will continue only upwards from now on and for some more years.

Yes, you're right. But since we had a playoff and both will have 12-3 on their score card...let's say it's a gin-jun-yusho ;)

Yeah, but he's proven time and again, that he can't yusho, sooo...

Come on, did anyone really think Takayasu could pull it off? With all due respect, he had the chances of a snowflake in hell.

I'll eat my hat (made of steaks) if Onosato will not be promoted to Yokozuna after Natsu 25 (barring injury).

Happy birthday Aonishiki! 11-4 jun-yusho debut.

I HATE VIAGOGO! Greedy bastards. Cheapest left for Saturday is €293. Including fees and whatnot, it is €436. No, thanks. F****g vultures!

Nope, that's it, only the expensive left. BAKA!

What about intensive purposes?

No sake bottles to see here.

I'm in.

Well...they could have had a Japanese Yokozuna in late 2021, but...

Ok, then it's only confirmation for discussion (my bad for the wrong interpretation), which will happen tomorrow. I doubt they will deny.

Kiryuko is the flag bearer for the parade.

Kyodo News apparently saying promotion is confirmed. EDIT: https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2025/01/d24d66cd5706-urgent-sumo-hoshoryu-set-for-yokozuna-promotion-after-winning-new-year-meet.html EDIT 2: A bit too much excitement on my side.
