Ichimawashi 573 Posted May 23, 2021 ISP: Terunofuji favoured 128-18 by the prognosticators. Biggest spread I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerboy1966 1,018 Posted May 23, 2021 If that's the last we see of Akua in makunouchi he gave us something to remember him by. A mighty slap and a spectacular throw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerboy1966 1,018 Posted May 23, 2021 Judging by facial expression, no-one suffers more in defeat than Tsurugisho. Yutakayama is his nearest rival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Including the Yusho winner if it isn't him If he doesn't win the tournament he will still have beaten the winner (eiher Terunofuji or Takakeisho), so yes, it seems harsh to make it conditional.

Seiyashi 3,447 Posted May 23, 2021 That's a first; Tamawashi almost leaves the dohyo without collecting his kensho. He's halfway through turning to leave when he sees the kensho, and has to hastily stop and do the tegatana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oshirokita 155 Posted May 23, 2021 Humph, Hokutofuji never seemed to settle into the tachiai. Just looking at him it seemed evident he would lose to Tamawashi. Not a great basho for him. Hope he improves next basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooner 19 Posted May 23, 2021 Meisei loses quickly. Is Endo now the frontrunner to replace Daieisho as komosubi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a bit of discussion over this in the promotion thread. It's a close run thing but it's considered that Meisei's much higher rank makes him more likely than Endo; if the banzuke committee really wanted headaches for themselves they could go 4 komusubi with Endo and Ichinojo at K2 but it's more likely that those two wind up at M1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eikokurai 3,418 Posted May 23, 2021 Takayasu struggled a lot more with Takanosho than I expected. That loss leaves him at 20/30 and with a mountain to climb for Ozeki repromotion in July. He's never managed 13 wins and hasn't even scored 12 for 3 years. He really needed at least 11 this time to have a shot in July. Still, it's a good enough record to be the first in a new run.
