Guess Kisenosato's Aite

Recommended Posts

Well, it was a nice ride up to Day 5, now it's getting bumpy again.

I also think they'll finish the sanyaku ranks with just a little twist and it will be

Kakuryu on Day 7.

And then the madness begins in week 2...

I'll work my way down the banzuke again (I am sure this time it's wrong): Kakuryu for Day 7 please

Still not sure about that, but I like company:

Day 7 - Kakuryu

given current form of both wrestlers, this should be a highlight of the basho.

The odds are Takanohana has an english speaking aide reading this forum to try our patience but what the heck I'll go along for the ride once more:

On Day 7, Kisenosato gets bandwagon pick a day late, the West Sekiwake, Kakuryu. Lots of happy GTA players today! Aran got one vote, but everyone else is on the bandwagon who voted. Those who picked early for day 7 pick early again for Day 8.

Day 8 is the trickiest day of the basho with no clear favourite spot for Kisenosato to face. Most other options are better for later. Since Yoshikaze is doing well, he may need a better aite, so I'll stick with my pre-basho prediction and go with:

Day 8 - Yoshikaze

If my calculations are correct, Kisel and T-shin could be both 3:3 after Day 6,

so the long nosed Georgian could be a good aite for THE KID, who became a HERO on Day 2

Day 8 - Tochinoshin

Pretty sure he will next face a rikishi that begins or ends with "A" so,

Day 8 Asasekiryu

What the heck - moving down the banzuke has served me well: Aran on Day 8.

Now that Kise shows strength and confidence in his sumo there is no need to create an easy schedule for him, they can stick to the routine pattern and give him

Tochnoshin on Day 8.
