Reonito 70 Posted January 16 Is this the last day we see such clear consensus? Although Day 9 might have a fairly obvious choice as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But why Daieisho- Kagayaki when they could have done Daieisho-Onosho? Also, Akiseyama has been given Meisei much earlier than usual for lower Makuuchi yusho contenders.

Yeah, I had mitakeumi-shodai, but daieisho-onosho and our hero-takarafuji, which seems more reasonable to me. Old Japanese Men continue to baffle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gurowake 2,374 Posted January 16 That was absolutely bonkers. At least it shouldn't really matter now what order they do the rest of the sanyaku matches. 9. Mitakeumi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
