Makunouchi Yushos in 2025

[Jejima 1,363]

In 2024, two yushos were won by a Yokozuna, one by an Ozeki, one by a Sekiwake, one by a Komubi, and one by a rikishi ranked at M17E!.  

What about 2025?

Which ranks do you think will win the Makunouchi yushos in 2025?  

Please write your predictions in the comments below. 

Please also mention which rikishi (give names!) and their ranks you think will actually win the yushos (and how many).

This will be used as a tie-breaker (if needed) to decide the yusho winner for this poll at the end of the year.

Kotozakura gets two, one for Hoshoryu, two for Onosato, and Takerufuji takes one from around M4.

4, 1, and 1. I think the current ozeki crop will dominate the year as they push for their ropes. January usually gives a bizarre result and Wacky Aki is sometimes a thing. 

[Kyokufuji 64]

Terunofuji Y

2x Onosato O (not consecutive)

Hoshoryu O

Wakatakakage S

Takerufuji M4e

[Morty 1,484]

Onosato will get three

Kotozakura will get two

Takerafuji will get one

[Godango 973]

Onosato 2 x O

Onosato 4 x Y.

In reality I think Onosato does probably get 3-4, Kotozakura and Hoshoryu 1-2 each. I'll say..

OFFICIAL GUESS:
Onosato 3
Hoshoryu 2
Kotozakura 1

[Athenayama 1,009]

Onosato 2 as Ozeki
Kotozakura 1 as Ozeki
Hoshoryu 1 as Ozeki.
Takerufuji1 as Maegashira.

[Jejima 1,363]

Terunofuji - 1

Onosato - 3 (possibly one as a Yokozuna)

One of either Kotozakura or Hoshoryu....  Okay Hoshoryu 

So, five in total from Ys and Os (like the old days).

One surprise yusho from the lower half of the division..... Aonishiki????

[Ack! 461]

Terunofuji - 2

Onosato - 2

Hoshoryu - 1

Takerufuji - 1 while ranked in sanyaku

[Pitinosato 119]

Hoshoryu 2 (as Ozeki)

Kotozakura 1 (Ozeki)
