My query-foo is not up to looking it up, but the one Yokozuna randomly getting a sanyaku match on day five was not on my radar. 

Indeed, I had to browse back to Nagoya 2012 (i.e. the last Basho with Hakuho as sole yokozuna) to find the most recent instance, but before that it was pretty common.

I'd say what you get if you cross an elephant with a rhino.

Not only was it a strike for The Kyokai, it was also a virtual kinboshi because *everybody* got it wrong the same way with Ichinojo.

Well, even taking Takakeisho's kyujo into account I would have still guessed wrong yesterday, but now it's more than ever

Ichinojo was only my Day 6 choice when I heard about Takakeisho's injury. I assumed it would be MItakeumi-Aoiyama on Day 6.....
