Yokozuna Hakuho committed his second dame-oshi in as many days shoving Sekiwake Kisenosato off the dohyo at the end of their bout. Hakuho was actually quite worked up after the bout upset by the face slap Kisenosato delivered during their contest. The Yokozuna was angry as he spoke to reporters commenting, "He doesn't get it either does he? That was uncalled for. He's mistaken as to which opponents he gives a hari-te. Maybe if he figures that out, he'll get stronger." Hakuho was upset the previous day as well after being henka'd at the tachi-ai by Kakuryu. The Yokozuna responded by sending Kakuryu several rows up the hana-michi after the Maegashira rikishi had clearly stepped out of the ring.
