Aki Yusho Predictions?

[Kaminariyuki 484]

Well, I can almost hear the drums outside the kokugikan calling us in. The yobidashi have their hyoshigi all ready and we'll have the banzuke on Monday. Washuyama and Hakuhonofan set a pretty tough mark to beat last basho in Nagoya, but let's see if anyone is game to give this a go again.

Please pick the yusho winner and the jun-yusho. Anything else you care to toss in is only icing on the cake, or an anchor dragging you to the bottom.

I still like getting all you experts down on digital paper before this thing kicks off.

That's the vibe I get, too.

[Kaminariyuki 484]

I usually stick my neck out first, but I forgot. I reckon I'll go out on a limb again.

Yusho - Ura 

Jun-yusho - Ichinojo 

Hakuho intai, Terunofuji kyujo on Day 8. Let the Ura yokozuna bandwagon roll on!

I'll have what he's drinking.

[Kintamayama 40,144]

Yusho- Takakeishou

Jun- Shoudai

 

Sansho- Houshouryuu, Yutakayama, Ichinojou (2)

[Tigerboy1966 948]

Yusho: Terunofuji

Jun-yusho: Meisei

Icing: Juryo yusho goes to the winner of an Enho - Hokuseiho playoff.

[Terukuni 105]

Hakuho 15-0

Jun-Yusho: Terunofuji 13-2, Hoshoryu 13-2

[Churaumi 680]

Hakuho gets 46, Terunofuji keeps it exciting with the day 15 match for the yusho but he loses. Bonus prediction is Hokuseiho goes makekoshi.

[Gospodin 162]

Yusho: Hakuho

Jun-Yusho: Terunofuji (only because of the social committments coming with his promotion reducing/changing his preparation)

Most intriguing to watch: Hoshoryu, Takaysu (will he be able to mount another run or will he ultimately begin an irreversible decline ?)

[rokudenashi 150]

Following what my head tells me and not my heart (a Hoshoryu yusho would be great, though)

Yusho: Hakuho, perhaps via another zensho
Jun-yusho: Takakeisho
Ginosho: Hoshoryu
Shukunsho: Hoshoryu
Kantosho: Takanosho

Terunofuji to go kyujo after the first week. Takayasu will struggle, belying his performances at the godo-keiko.

Now to contradict my first statement, I'll go out on a limb and suggest that Hokuseiho wins the Juryo yusho

Jonokuchi yusho: Shonanzak-- oh, darn, too late.

Either I'm missing something (most likely) or perhaps an auto-correct (nah...)? I feel better that Gooogle also has no idea who or what Shonanzak is.

I am going to bet ten Likes against that

[Chartorenji 138]

Yusho: Mitakeumi

Jun-Yusho: Terunofuji

 

[Benevolance 2,253]

I think Hakuho takes it again, Shodai jun yusho.

Multiple sansho for Hoshoryu, without even getting a jun-yusho, would be quite the feat!

[Mightyduck 67]

Yusho - Terunofuji

Jun-yusho - Hakuho

Hopefully after a day 15 playoff.

Takakeisho to make-koshi

Shodai to barely kachikoshi after some slightly helpful final weekend matchmaking.

Takaysu & mitakeumi to both hover around the 10 win mark.

 

 

[Dapeng 231]

Hakuho: wins one and then loses two and then intai.

Terunofuji yushos.

[Kuhne 46]

Hakuho wins and takes terus other arm in the process 

[Jesinofuji 11]

Yusho: Terunofuji 12-3. Jun Yushos: Mitakeumi and Takakeisho both also 12-3. Teru wins a 3 man playoff that goes 3 rounds! Hakuho pulls out of the tournament sometime in the first week.

[Octofuji 139]

Takayasu yusho, Hoshoryu jun-yusho.

Would be nice to see both Yokozuna last til the end but I don't see it.

[Hakuhonofan 324]

Y: Terunofuji

JY: Takakeisho

[Godango 753]

Yusho: Takakeisho
Jun-Yusho: Terunofuji

Bonus: Single digit wins for Tochinoshin -- this will be his last (maybe second-to-last) basho in makuuchi.

Given the recent COVID-19 infections I'm beginning to question whether the basho goes ahead at all, tbh, but I'm sticking with the above.
