Disclaimer/introduction for new players The Wall: If a sumotori gets his first makekoshi (MK = losing record) in that respective division, it's called "hitting the wall" (KK = winning record, means missing the wall, which is a good thing). The only wallee in makuuchi is Nishikifuji. In juryo we have Kinbozan, Oshoma, Roga and noob Shonnanoumi. Promotion/demotion/kadoban/intai: An Ozeki winning less then 8 bouts is set on the kadoban status. If he doesn't score 8 wins the following basho, he is demoted to Sekiwake. Frome thereon, a 10+ winning record means repromotion to Ozeki. Shodai was kadoban last basho and blew it, while Mitakeumi blew his chance for repromotion from Sekiwake. Will Shodai follow Mitakeumi? Asanoyama-special: As a healthy ex-Ozeki he's basically expected to zensho (all wins, no losses) through juryo.  Guess the colour of the giant macaron: One of the prizes for the yusho winner is a giant fake macaron (as placeholder for a load of real, normal sized macarons from one of the best Pâtisseries in Paris). The colour varies and it has become a popular game to guess it.
