We all got robbed. Imagine the possible playoff bouts.

Horrible call.    Now, I want Takakeisho or Mitakeumi to take the yusho to make it fair.

He did appear to get robbed, but Takakeisho's win eliminated those with 5 loses from the race.

Watch Okinoumi get the yusho thanks to that call...

Sadly, that would have been fun.

Endo should have stayed in the ring after the match like Hak did.   ;-)

Come on Mita, I understand you needed that win but really ? The race is more interesting this way though what a crazy basho.

Et Tu, Mitakeumi?

If Paris is well worth a Mass , so yusho is well worth a henka

Blatant henkas, and potentially yusho deciding bad call ... it's not a good day for ozumo.     It makes me appreciate Enho all the more.

Wow, what a weird day in makuuchi!

So was Endo's heel definitely not out? Abema TV kept replaying the throw instead of the moment that triggered the call. And would it have been a torinaoshi if they had done a mono-ii and deemed the initial call wrong, since the gyoji was already ignoring the moments after?

I didn't see it on replays.   Then again, his heel may have touch one or two grains of sand.

Let's wait if one of the press photographers or a fan caught the questionable moment on chip.

I don't see it. Appeared to stay on his toes. Eerily similar to the Tochinoshin incident.

Just like Asanoyama did. Shame.

There seemed quite a time gap between Endo's nearest point of heel contact and the judge raising his hand. Looks like a bad call to me.

So no yusho chances anymore for Asanoyama & Tsurugisho.

My choice would have been:

Mitakeumi-Endo

Takakeisho-Abi

Okinoumi-Asanoyama
