    Natsu 2025 discussion (results)

    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.

    Onosato first yokozuna run for Natsu 25

    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...

    Natsu Basho 2025

    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.

    Natsu Basho 2025

    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...

    Makuuchi Consecutive Match Tracker

    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.

    Makuuchi Consecutive Match Tracker

    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.
