He's already touched on Moriurura and Hattorizakura. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2019/03/22/sumo/sumo-101-consistent-losers/

When your deshi gets double digit wins in makuuchi for the first time

So we have two sets of heya-mates in the lead for the makushita yusho. We could be in for an interesting play-off.

There was a Gagamaru-Enho bout in juryo ages ago that was a lot like the Enho-Yutakayama bout today. Gagamaru kept refusing to charge blindly into a henka, but the gyoji kept calling matta (something like 3 times) until he did.

I doubt he's finished. He was still a yusho contender as recently as May, and he has a young family to provide for.

Wajima's looked like he just reviewed the steps the night before. It was probably a very early in his yokozuna career.

I think heya tend to hang onto a few for mae-zumo purposes and such. Not sure though.

I guess he wanted someone else at eye level.

Butsukari's also meant to be pretty hard on the rikishi receiving, though. And it's right where his injury was. I know it's his home crowd and all, but it makes me wince.

I can just imagine that becoming the standard medical treatment at the eventual Hakuho-beya.

Let the public displays of mourning begin.

Damn. Way to slap Chiganoura in the face for actually still caring about your serial offender ass.

I remember Hiro or Ross mentioning that on air during the last basho. What a weird way to end a career.

Awww, the waterworks started when his father took a cut.

That's rough for Churanoumi. I was thinking he'd get Akiseyama's spot. I like Akiseyama though.
