Kaninoyama 1,818 Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Already been said but Gagamaru's physical transformation has been remarkable. As for Toyonoshima, with Kitanofuji's days as an NHK commentator clearly numbered, I wonder if at some point we'll see Mainnouji shift over to Kitanofuji's role and Toyonoshima brought in to fill Mainoumi's?
