There are few precedents for this kind of rank/score result. I think the consensus among the wise ones is that 14-1 should do it with ordinary banzuke luck.

Me two days ago: "He's done great so far. That said, I'd be surprised if he gets past Yutakayama tomorrow." The guy keeps defying all expectations. That said, I too will be surprised if he gets past Shodai today. (Cue Takashoryu easily waltzing past Shodai.)

He's now beat the man who beat the san'yaku slate, but surely... SURELY... they have to give him Takakeisho tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eikokurai 3,437 Posted January 25, 2020 I always used to like Tokushoryu when he wore his baby blue mawashi, but just because I thought he resembled a giant infant when he waddled about, not because of his sumo. He's defying all expectation. It's all in his own hands now. Win tomorrow and whatever Shodai does makes no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yohcun 409 Posted January 25, 2020 I'm speechless. I guess Takakeisho is blasting him out twice tomorrow, but who the hell knows what's gonna happen anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amamaniac 2,092 Posted January 25, 2020 I know the Emperor has a busy schedule, but arriving for the second half of the Top Division on Day 14 meant that he missed seeing what was perhaps the most significant bout of the tournament involving the potential yusho winner!
