- Akiseyama at his career-high rank at age 35

Is Akiseyama the oldest ever to have his first kachi-kochi in Makuuchi?

Never thought it would be possible to put these words in the same sentence: - longest current winning streak as sekitori - Akiseyama

ZENSHO YUSHO

Takanohana and Kisenosato missed or didn’t complete multiple tournaments in a row (albeit after injuries) before they were “recommended” to retire

He will win the yusho, making it back-to-back emperors cups and an instant ozeki-promotion. You read it here first!

I had a meniscus operation on 1 knee and use the very same bandages while playing basketball. It allows me to perform at 90% of my “normal” capacity without risking further injury. Even with 2 bad knees, a former “near-yokozuna”’Terunofuji at 90% explains his last yusho.

According to the database, today was Hakuho's 1000th bout as a yokozuna

The bottom half of makuuchi will be crowded with ex-ozeki next basho

Kyushu 2013

I believe the main argument in the case of Terunofuji’s promotion to ozeki is the fact that a 13-2J - 12-3Y can be enough for a yokozuna promotion, so it certainly is enough for an ozeki promotion, the 8-7 record at M2 has nothing to do with it

Showing Ishiura how it’s done

Because of the arrows. The are never given to a MK rikishi

Tochiazuma, Takanohana, Masuiyama

There are 3 ex-ozeki on the May 2019 banzuke (Tochinoshin, Kotoshogiku, Terunofuji). New record?
