Gernobono 455 Posted November 23, 2016 after rethinking, i will go for ishiura as explained in the thread about kyushu basho found tochinoshin available for arawashi so my guess is day 13 ishiura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakura 1,472 Posted November 23, 2016 Day 13. Ishiura. Just because they need to find higher ranked opponents for Ishiura, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orandashoho 720 Posted November 23, 2016 Day 13 -- Takayasu Surely it is not right for a M3 (w or not) to fight only two sanyaku being the only opponents of higher rank by day 12? While M3e has faced ALL Yokozuma and Ozeki by that time? Or is the joi line drawn so sharply between M3e and M3w? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While M3e has faced ALL Yokozuma and Ozeki by that time? Or is the joi line drawn so sharply between M3e and M3w? Usually, yes. If there wasn't a couple of same-heya restrictions among the Sanyaku/Joi, Shodai would most likely not have met any Sanyaku at all so far. And the line isn't drawn between M3e and M3w but simply between No.16 and No.17. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atenzan 1,074 Posted November 23, 2016 Post-yaocho, the numbers for wins in kyujo-free basho among joi-jin have a very sharp cutoff. 16th ranked rikishi average just 5.6 wins; this is the high speed meatgrinder of what I call the "true jo'i-jin" (i.e. East Sekiwake down to the 16th spot) 17th ranked rikishi average a healthier but still meagre 6.7 wins. And for the 18th spot, we're veering well and truly out of the jo'i and people average a healthy 7.7 wins. By the way, Day 13 Takayasu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
