Day 12 lower division results

[Doitsuyama 1,150]

Chiyoarashi beat Sensho in a true exchange bout as the result sealed the respective prommotion and demotion. Nothing else happened in the promotion zone except candidates being happy about losses for Hochiyama and Miyabiyama, almost certainly meaning two more available spots. Oh, and candidates in the promotion zone being sad that none of them drew Kamei as opponent tomorrow as they can only watch him fighting a low makushita rikishi for the yusho and snatching away a promotion slot in case of a win. Well, I like that as I am waiting for years that he finally gets over the hump as I always liked his bouts.

Endo got off the track in his bout against Shosei but caught himself before leaving the dohyo and managed to win the bout and clinch his first kachi-koshi in Ozumo. Several rikishi improved to 5-1, three of them sure to be on a new career high rank next basho with Sakigake, Wakamisho and Kansei. In upper sandanme Hishofuji secured his return to makushita after temporarily jumping off the cliff going from Ms12 to Sd35 within four basho, and before that from J13 to Ms18 within three basho.

Jonidan does have only two undefeated rikishi with Takasaitolosing to shin-deshi Ishiura today, and both are big underdogs in division-crossing bouts tomorrow, opening up the real possibility of a six or seven rikishi strong kettei-sen for the jonidan yusho, and a two rikishi kettei-sen for the sandanme yusho on senshuraku. At least the makushita yusho will be decided outright tomorrow between Kamei and Takakiho.

[Asashosakari 16,827]

Jonidan does have only two undefeated rikishi with Takasaitolosing to shin-deshi Ishiura today, and both are big underdogs in division-crossing bouts tomorrow, opening up the real possibility of a six or seven rikishi strong kettei-sen for the jonidan yusho ...

8 to 12 rikishi, even. Six 5-1 vs 5-1 bouts in jonidan, two each against 5-1's from jonokuchi and sandanme, and the two 6-0's.
