    New recruits for Hatsu 2019

    It's pretty hard to hear the names from the video above, but I think I heard Terasawa, Watanabe, Ounabara (not sure at all) and Kotonagahama, plus one more I couldn't guess. People with better knowledge or better ears shall confirm.

    Disclaimer: I’ve been following sumo for just a few months, so my knowledge is limited and I surely miss some context. but … Let’s check what recent history says for the Daishomaru/Terutsuyoshi dilemma. Since 2010, there were 22 rikishi going 6-9 from M14 (east or west). 10 stayed in Makuuchi and 12 were demoted to Juryo*. So the Daishomaru part is close to a toss-up but favors the demotion. On a side note, 9 of the 10 guys who stayed in Makuuchi went makekoshi the following basho (like Chiyomaru during last basho). Which would favors demotion even more. Since 2010, there were 11 rikishi going 10-5 from J5. 6 were promoted and 5 stayed in Juryo. So the Terutsuyoshi part is also close to a toss-up but favors the promotion. On a side note again, between 2005 and 2009, there were 9 rikishi going 10-5 from J5 and they’ve all been promoted. It seems NSK changed its mind and are now handing promotion more cautiously. So overall, recent history goes towards Terutsuyoshi, but it’s pretty close. * There were 2 rikishi ranked M17e for the following basho. Here, there will be no M17 rank in 2019.01 so I counted them as demoted even if they actually stayed in Makuuchi.
