Not only has it happened before, it's happened *at J2E*. Multiple times, though last in 1980. (Excluding the period where they re-used banzuke for two basho at a time, of course.) https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&form1_rank=j2e&form1_wins=kk&form1_year=1945-2025&form2_rank=j2e

For MZ they are often discovered when a yobidashi says them for the first time--and I distinctly remember a couple of "what the hell did they actually say?" conversations in the past.

In honour of the blue jays' Bam Bam Barger I feel like I should ask for my status to be Bam Bam.. but I don't actually know the joke behind Ganzo's status being FRED. Is there a story there?

The classic deniable method is beating-by-phonebook—doesn't leave many marks, reasonably effective. The japanese cops aren't resorting to things they think of as torture... but "enhanced interrogation" is much easier to talk yourself into.

Unfortunately, "unfortunate" is a word with many meanings, and this is even more true in japanese....
