WAKATAKE

Day 12 results: Sokokurai - loss (Flohru, Akogyokuseki) Shimanoumi - loss (Benihana, wolfgangho, Achiyama, Fujisan) Aminishiki - loss (Gansekiiwa, WAKATAKE) Hakuyozan - loss (Jejima) Takagenji - loss (Tenshinhan) chishafuwaku - loss (Akiseyama) And we have a complete BLACKOUT on day 12, which could be the first in game history (will go back and check). The longest streak of the basho is officially 10 by Benihana, with the second longest being 7 by Fujisan. There are still three more days and everyone has a chance to extend their streaks into Natsu if they can win out the last three days.

Day 12 submissions: Flohru - Sokokurai Benihana - Shimanoumi wolfgangho - Shimanoumi Gansekiiwa - Aminishiki WAKATAKE - Aminishiki Achiyama - Shimanoumi Jejima - Hakuyozan Akogyokuseki - Sokokurai Tenshinhan - Takakgenji chishafuwaku - Akiseyama Fujisan - Shimanoumi Shimanoumi once again gains the most votes based on his run towards the Juryo yusho. Can Benihana extend his streak?

Day 11 results: Sokokurai - loss (Flohru) Shimanoumi - win (Benihana, wolfgangho, WAKATAKE, Achiyama, Tenshinhan, Fujisan) Arawashi - loss (Gansekiiwa) Hakuyozan - loss (Jejima) Chiyonoumi - win (Akogyokuseki) Kyokushuho - loss (chishafuwaku) 7 players scored wins, and 6 of them by riding the Shimanoumi train. The Shimanoumi win also gives Benihana his 10th consecutive win and also the tiebreaker criteria needed to gain him the yusho. Congratulations to @Benihana for closing this out so early! He is also the second player in game history to reach a 10+ win streak. Active streaks: 10 - Benihana 6 - WAKATAKE 3 - Tenshinhan 2 - Achiyama 1 - wolfgangho 1 - Akogyokuseki 1 - Fujisan

Day 11 submissions: Flohru - Sokokurai Benihana - Shimanoumi wolfgangho - Shimanoumi Gansekiiwa - Arawashi WAKATAKE - Shimanoumi Achiyama - Shimanoumi Jejima - Hakuyozan Akogyokuseki - Chiyonoumi Tenshinhan - Shimanoumi chishafuwaku - Kyokushuho Fuijsan - Shimanoumi And we have a Shimanoumi train with over half the field picking him at 6! A Shimanoumi win will also give Benihana the yusho as he holds the tiebreaker over WAKATAKE, and Flohru can only max out at 9 wins to finish the basho.

Day 10 results: Sokokurai - win (Flohru, WAKATAKE) Shimanoumi - win (Benihana, Achiyama) Tsurugisho - loss (wolfgangho) Arawashi - win (Gansekiiwa) Hakuyozan - loss (Jejima) Chiyonoumi - loss (Akogyokuseki) Takanosho - win (Tenshinhan) Kyokushuho - win (chishafuwaku) Enho - loss (Fujisan) 7 players scored wins today as Benihana extends his winning streak to 9 thanks to the efforts of Shimanoumi. Flohru and WAKATAKE still remain in the race for the yusho. Yusho race 9 - Benihana 5 - WAKATAKE 4 - Flohru Active streaks: 9 - Benihana 5 - WAKATAKE 4 - Flohru 2 - Gansekiiwa 2 - Tenshinhan 2 - chishafuwaku 1 - Achiyama

Hi everybody, sorry to be posting this so late, but hopefully this will have kept you on the edge of your seats. Day 10 submissions: Flohru - Sokokurai Benihana - Shimanoumi wolfgangho - Tsurugisho Gansekiiwa - Arawashi WAKATAKE - Sokokurai Achiyama - Shimanoumi Jejima - Hakuyozan Akogyokuseki - Chiyonoumi Tenshinhan - Takanosho chishafuwaku - Kyokushuho Fujisan - Enho Shimanoumi and Sokokurai are day 10's top picks with 2 votes each. A loss by WAKATAKE and Flohru would give Benihana the JWS Haru 2019 yusho!

And so ends the era known as Heisei. And what a great basho it was. Hakuho asserting his authority as the GOAT, finishing with a perfect 15-0, and Ichinojo keeping him on his toes. There were great performances from the other yokozuna and ozeki also, but unfortunately we have to say goodbye to ozeki Tochinoshin unless he can mount his comeback next basho. But we will be saying hello to ozeki Takakeisho as we get new blood into the top 2 ranks! And so my friends, let us get into Top 10 Sumo Haru 2019!

It's getting pretty suspenseful seeing that they're not releasing the sansho list yet. There's a whole field of candidates to choose from

These are well calculated to throw his opponents off. It catches them off guard and they have to rethink their game against him

And that my friends concludes the Haru 2019 edition of Takakeisho’s run. We’ll have to see how he does in May!

Can you please confirm my submission?

Lol I completely blanked that I already submitted a pick
