S Wakatakakage (2) S Hoshoryu (1) O Hoshoryu (1) Y Terunofuji (1) M Mister-surprise-me (1) <-- the obvious maegashira yusho from someone below M10

- Y - Hoshoryu O Wakatakakage I dont think that Terunifuji survives banzuke-wise the next year. And Takakeisho will lose this Ozeki rank somewhen in 2023.

Santa brings an intai for Ichinojo.

What was the context of the scolding?

It should be considered yokozuna-unworthy to fall for a henka.

I do not know it, but I assume that the revenue the NHK made from Kisenosato surpasses that from Terunofuji.

So, basically you are predicting a mediocre second week for Mitakeumi and a possible yusho by Takakeisho or Shodai, right?

And for something completely different: I am glad for Tochinoshins kachikochi! He will stay a little bit longer in Makuuchi!

Interesting thought. That never occured to me.

Why not? Why is this surprising? Lower levels -> alot of training for basics and technique higher levels -> getting weight So he entered the sumo world and had a lot to train in the frist place...

I do not think they need a yokozuna. It is just a neat way to tie sumo tradition with olympic traditions. But it is not mandatory. And on the other hand it is still possible for one of the ozeki to score two yushos (or equivivalent ) before the olympic games (granted that there will be a tournament in may) and that the olympic yokozuna questions will be solved naturally.

It is not black, but dark blue. And his shikona is written on it:

I cannot see Hakuho subordinate himself as an oyakata. At least not for a long period of time. My bet/guess would be: He will stay as Hakuho oyakata for 1-3 years leading his Hakuho stable, but as Kintamayama wrote, will soon leave for the bigger money in the free economy.
