So after I collated Wakanohana's unfortunate predictions, let's make a new game out of seeing if we can predict the predictions, and whether this will finally be the basho that Wakanohana will break his duck (he's never predicted the yusho winner correctly in 11 tries).

No prizes, just bragging rights only!

If you think Wakanohana will pick a rikishi other than those listed above, please put in a reply with the rikishi's name.

Poll will close the day before shonichi (3 July).

I'm guessing that he picks Hakuho because he's got to be thinking, "every time I pick Hakuho he goes kyujo, this time he can't possibly go kyujo if he doesn't want to retire, right....?"

Hakuho's got not much to play for already, to be honest. Motivation wise I'll put the two Tozeki and even the sekiwake above him, since Hakuho's essentially just interested in coasting till the Olympics whereas the other four have got all to play for.

I agree with this, in essence. I go back and forth between thinking we've already seen Hakuho's final matches, to thinking, oh man, the mighty Hakuho could be motivated to go out in a blaze of glory. One final zensho yusho for number 45 and then intai.

Hakuho banzai!

I really do like Wakatakakage. And, despite not being a jumbo-weight, I like his odds of success up in the sanyaku. We shall see.

Nagoya 2021's Death Note goes to: Terunofuji!

Congratulations to all who participated except me, Gaijingai, I am the Yokozuna and Totorofuji.

Time will tell if Wakanohana breaks his duck.

For the twelfth basho straight, Wakanohana's Death Note comes true: Hakuho beats Terunofuji to take his 16th zensho and 45th yusho overall.

Congratulations to Jejima, Kaminariyuki, WAKATAKE, Kashunowaka, sahaven111, Tsubame, and Totorofuji for getting 2/2!
