As was discussed last basho (can't find it though), kinboshi per basho is not a good metric. When we had an 11-man sanyaku, a Yokozuna would typically fight 5 maegashira; with the current 7-man sanyaku, it's 9, or almost twice as many kinboshi opportunities. Kinboshi per maegashira bout allows for a more meaningful comparison IMO (of course, Hoshoryu's sample size is too small for any meaningful comparisons).
-
This is Hidenoumi's 50th Juryo basho, which ties him for 6th all-time. He needs 6 more basho in the second division for sole position of first place.
-
I'm optimistic for about 3 of these.
-
Anyone understand the reversal in the Asogyokusei vs. Ryusei makushita bout? Asagyokusei was in the air and upside down when Ryusei touched...
-
Now he's got 'em right where he wants 'em! 13-0 finish coming up.
-
I don't think it's quite that clear-cut. It could depend on exactly how the yusho race unfolds and who is in it, as well as on the "quality of the sumo." 14-1J would be undeniable IMO
-
The man himself got an early start...
-
I'd say the unwritten requirements are 33/3, which can be relaxed to 32 if circumstances warrant. He should be undeniable with 13, but if it's 12 and not Y/D, I'm not sure how motivated they'll be to promote him, despite the consistency he's shown.
-
Onosato option 1 is a little ambiguous—he could get a D/J without promotion, depending on the score. And, while I'm at it, I doubt Daieisho gets promoted with 12, unless it's a yusho.
-
There's usually a dedicated "absent rikishi" thread...
-
I remember that basho, he had quite a remarkable record when he was on the dohyo, injured himself on day 6, sat out for 4 days, then came back to beat Hakuho (!) on his first day back (!!), got to eight wins, and was awarded his 4th shukun-sho, in part for what was seen as his valor in re-entering. I seem to recall it was a knee/thigh problem, but that maybe completely off base.
-
Of course, my bad!
-
Or at least to stay on the dohyo w/o interruption ... there's a reason Tamawashi holds the all-time record.
-
Not sure where it ranks all-time, but Daieisho is quietly putting together quite a streak (though still over 3.5 years behind Tamawashi).
-
Yeah, I guess the de facto 7-round single-elimination yusho race we know and love is a felicitous coincidence of the current division size being just under 2^7.
