Kirishima x1 in January then Tōhakuryū x5 (as M12, M2, Sekiwake, Ōzeki, Yokozuna in Kyushu 2024)

There were tickets available on the door at the event I attended in October. Pia still has plenty of different seats available so you could just pick them up from a Loppi or something in advance https://t.pia.jp/pia/ticketInformation.do?eventCd=2321895&rlsCd=001&lotRlsCd=

WMH has displayed a level of consistency in the jōi that many short-lived sekiwake from my recollection have been unable to. I think we’ll see him back at the rank soon. I don’t think he’ll go any higher, however.

They have all been watching Akira Taue matches

Chiyoshōma with the most predictable henka I’ve seen since… whenever it was he last pulled one

Yeah. Posting these kinds of articles doesn’t add any value to the forum and they certainly don’t warrant having their own threads each time.

That’ll be the fifth straight tournament he’s missed now. Considering that his office simply said “because this is a personal matter, we cannot provide details”, it is a little concerning. I am wishing him well, whatever is going on.

Not long now until we start getting rikishi named Kiku- this or -giku that…

So he didn’t and still doesn’t have a plan for what to do post-Ōzumō. I suppose that the proceeds from his danpatsushiki will tide him over until he finds something to keep himself occupied. On that note, perhaps he could auction off the tomebasami role to raise some extra cash, seeing as Minato is persona non grata.

Not exactly related, but I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a post get every type of reaction. A reflection of the enigma that is Ichinojō, perhaps. Edit: Ahem, almost every type of reaction, before @Katooshu politely saved me.

On one hand, I should be relieved that WMH is on a 7-basho KK streak, but for the last couple of tournaments I've been thinking that surely it's got to end at some point... let's hope it's not this one...
