And btw, Kotozakura can low-key play spoiler these final few days. He's been surging with 5 straight wins and has beaten 4 of the 5 men with wins over our top contenders (Takanosho, Yoshinofuji, Hakuoho, Wakatakakage). #sumo

Certainly: Yoshinofuji has already fought the two Yokozuna plus Aonishiki and gone 2-1 against them. Aonishiki still has to fight both Yokozuna and I expect him to go 1-1 at BEST, but 0-2 is very likely.
I see a clear path to Yoshinofuji finishing 12-3 and Aonishiki finishing 11-4.

We got ourselves a basho now!

I can only imagine how fun that must have been. Shame that it was so obviously scripted but a great showcase is a great showcase.

Yep. Either Wakatakakage loses his Sekiwake rank or Hoshoryu loses any control over the yusho outcome. Feels like a main event where the outcome won't make me happy regardless. #sumo
