Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 (edited) First up.... Let's randomise the Mae-zumo entrants..... There were 2 items in your list. Here they are in random order: Kale (mz) Daiouika (mz) Then we need to find some Jonokuchi players to represent them....

Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 (edited) Kale (mz) receives jk13E Amanofuji. Amanofuji did not turn up to fight last basho - let's hope he's okay, or else Kale might get a different rikishi to represent him. Edited December 23, 2024 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 Daiouika (mz) will be championed by jk5E Nakayama. Nakayama is only 16 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J3W Joputosu starts off the Sekitori draw proper (i.e. for sekitori rikishi) with M11W Takerufuji. I would suggest that that is a very decent pick for Joputosu. Apart from two bashos when he was injured, Takerufuji has never had an MK - and he has always won 66%+ of his bouts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J1W Gaijingai receives J3E Ryuden. The last time Ryuden was ranked in Juryo (for three consecutive bashos), he picked up two yushos. Another good pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J9W Lordshamrockyama has J12W Kiryuko. Like Lordshamrockyama, Kiryuko is a shin-Juryo rikishi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J7W Djodjoyoshi takes M7W Mitakeumi. Mitakeumi's previous KK was back in May 2024 - from the rank of M7W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J10E Tibozuka has been granted J5W Aonishiki. The Ukrainian Aonishiki is storming up the banzuke - so maybe another decent draw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chishafuwaku 476 Posted December 23, 2024 This game is very difficult and takes a lot of work but I'm ready again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J8W Marakizumi takes M2E Tobizaru. Tobizaru has been a joi-jin regular for over a couple of years, but has only once visited the sanyaku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J2W Meletyoshi will rely on J14W Daishoho. Daishoho only managed 4 wins last basho - surely he'll do better this time around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J1E Oshirokita has been granted M17E Nishikifuji. Nishikifuji has had three double digit records in his past three January bashos (two KKs and an MK). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J7E Kachikoshi will trust in M16W Kagayaki. Kagayaki is once again repromoted to Makunouchi - he's become a bit of an elevator rikishi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 My youngest son J5E Kaba needs something from J9E Daiseizan. Like Kaba, Daiseizan was born in China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J2E Ack! takes J2E Shiden. Shiden is at a career high - is he ready to make the next step up into Makunouchi? (Just noticed, Ack! has the same rank as Shiden - I don't think that happens very often.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J9E lonewolf gets M16E Tamashoho. Tamashoho is a shin-maku rikishi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J10W Spytoneryu has J7E Tochitaikai. Tochitaikai is at a career high - as is Spytoneryu! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 (edited) J4E Taikoubana might get some joy from M15E Hakuoho. Hakuoho is NOT making his Makunouchi debut. Edited December 29, 2024 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,396 Posted December 23, 2024 J8E Habibtiko has received M6W Ichiyamamoto. Ichiyamamoto has had 7-8 or 8-7 records in his past five outings. Mediocre? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
