Fukurou 534 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Endo has been ranked at M4 or higher 9 times before and has never finished with a KK from these ranks. He is ranked at M1e for Haru 2018. Will he finally break through, or is MK #10 on the horizon? Edited February 26, 2018 by Fukurou 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocks 1,809 Posted February 26, 2018 I think with 2 Yokozuna likely out that Endo just squeaks by with a 8-7. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabidJohn 1,855 Posted February 26, 2018 I voted yes for pretty much the same reason as Rocks, though I wasn't anticipating any yokozuna lasting the whole basho, if they even enter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I voted no but I only did that because I don't really like the guy. I think your prediction is a good one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MumboJumbo 37 Posted February 26, 2018 Close, but no cigar. 7-8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Churaumi 745 Posted February 27, 2018 I’ll give him 8-7 this time, I doubt we’ll have a full contingent of sanyaku after very long and he’s an even bet for me with his fellow high-end maegashira. I think the motivation to finally make sanyaku after all these years will put a little more wind in his mawashi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAKATAKE 2,672 Posted February 28, 2018 The dynamics of the sanyaku as a whole has changed within the last couple of years. I say he gets it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screeching__Owl 0 Posted March 7, 2018 Even not having to face 2 (or, quite possibly, all 3) yokozuna, I don't see Endo getting kk. I predict 6-9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are times I wish forum members still had some moderation options on their originated content (such as Lock, or Close Poll) so we don't have to bug the actual moderators, and this is one of them. Too bad that is most likely something we're never going to get back. Edited March 15, 2018 by Fukurou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
