    Then there's Takayasu up for Ozeki.  I'd put him in the same boat as Terunofuji in terms of performance needed - 13 wins should obviously be enough, but 12 wins and a yusho should also be sufficient given recent precedence

    Isegahama specifically said "a 13-win yusho" for what it's worth.

    I hope this doesn't mean he's completely out of consideration or that no result of his will result in a promotion.

    Pretty sure that's the case; 12-3 J/D is not much of a foundation for a rope run.

    If it were me, I'd give Kotoeko a chance.  Okinoumi, who was in the Sanyaku less than a year ago, should have done better at this basho (as I think Kintamayama stated).  Chiyotairu was a bit of a surprise, so good for him!

    I mean, Kotoeko is 100% guaranteed to be ranked ahead of Okinoumi, as they both finished 9-6 at M12e and M12w, respectively.

    I must admit that Tamawashi was not one of the five rikishi I was considering.

    However, I am happy with the yusho.

    Thanks for the game.

    Congrats! Tamawashi was on my short list, but there was no good way to guess which of the 6-7 guys would lose and therefore be in a position to face Hokutofuji. And even so, there were multiple reasonable choices.

    If Endo wins and Meisei loses, it might be a tough call for the last sanyaku spot.  Endo wins by the numbers in this case, but someone who faces the full joi schedule and gets a KK is usually considered a better bet than someone just marginally better by the numbers from deep down in the banzuke.

    12-3 at M8 vs 8-7 at M2 wouldn't be that marginal by the numbers...

    But he could play havoc for Day 10. Aoiyama was skipped over in favour of Onosho for an opponent for Asanoyama (& Hoshoryu for Shodai). Does that mean Aoiyama won't face any Ozeki? What about Sekiwake or Komusubi? Does his de-facto MK mean that he'll only face Maegashira or will he see some proper joi opponents?

    Usually they throw them right into the fire (Scratchingchin...)
