This guy is the textbook example of comeback. Kicked out of the NSK, fought his way back in and even got sansho and kinboshi after that. Best of luck to him. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202003260000413.html

Fixed, thanks.

Probably Nishikijima aka Asasekiryu or Wakamatsu aka Asanowaka. Can't imagine they would bring somebody from the outside to take over.

Achiyama submitted two sekitori for alternates which is not allowed, so the sekitori that was injured record stands. Results: - Yoohoo: 8-7 - Achiyama: 12-3 - WAKATAKE: 8-7 - Flohru: 12-3 - Athenayama: 8-7 - Tenshinhan: 11-4 - chishafuwaku: 8-7 Achiyama and Flohru tied, meaning we are going to tiebreaker! Tiebreaker #1: Most Yusho won by team members, if same number the higher the division the higher the criteria Achiyama: Ura (7-0, Sandanme) Flohru: Nishikifuji (7-0, Makushita), Ura (7-0, Sandanme) Because Flohru successfully picked one more yusho winner than Achiyama, we have our winner for Class Dismissed Haru 2020! Congratulations to Yokozuna @Flohru on winning his 7th yusho in Class Dismissed!!! I will be posting sansho and banzuke information soon.

Yes you would have won with tiebreaker number 2 but unfortunately you had picked Terunofuji for 4 out of 5 times. Everybody fought hard and I appreciate everybody who have continued to play this game.

If I remember correctly, the kanreki dohyo is not sponsored directly by the NSK, it's mainly put together by sponsors. I don't think they would have a problem with it either.

The way I've seen Onokuni walking around, HE is going to be lucky to get to his kanreki. Who's to say they won't get the current yokozuna to attend to him? Or they could get Harumafuji and Araiso aka Kisenosato to do it.

I concur, as someone who is familiar with the language and being able to read this, Kitanofuji was not saying to Mainoumi in an honorific pronunciation. He was using the kimi instead of kun.
