Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 J6E Gaijingai will commandeer J3E Hokuseiho. Oh... Stay tuned for a likely redraw once the day 1 torikumi is known! (Gaijingai can be thankful that we do not yet have 70 active players, otherwise, his fate would be the same as Hokuseiho's!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 Time for Makunouchi.... Randomise the active players.... There were 39 items in your list. Here they are in random order: M14W Ganzohnesushi M15W Kotononami S2W Takanorappa M11E WAKATAKE M15E Seiyashi S1W Joaoiyama M7E Oshirokita K1W Bunbukuchagama M1W Djodjoyoshi M5W Kimyama M12W Kaiowaka M17W Athenayama M7W Flohru M9E lilfox S1E Jakusotsu S2E Kaba M4E Sumo Spiffy M9W Kaito M2W Wamahada M6E Chijanofuji O1E Tetsuba M11W Jejima M10E Reonito M3E #1HENKAFAN M3W Baku M8E Suwihuto K1E Karasukurai M16W Getayukata M4W sumojoann M5E Ryoshishikunin M13W Fujiko M17E Meletyoshi O1W Yarimotsu M1E chishafuwaku M12E Benihana M16E Gernobono M2E RaeucherLax M14E Hoshotakamoto M10W Chiyotasuke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M14W Ganzohnesushi will have J9W Tamashoho. What? Even now that we have moved to Makunouchi, Juryo rikishi are still getting spun on the wheel? Tamasho has had two 4-11 records in his past three Juryo bashos.... The other one being a 9-6, so there is still hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M15W Kotononami has been granted M11W Sadanoumi. Sadanoumi was once ranked as high as M1W! (Nine years ago.....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 S2W Takanorappa will get as a birthday present (17th March), M10W Mitakeumi. Not sure if that is a wanted gift or not. It was less than two years ago that Mitakeumi was still an Ozeki - surely he still has some ability? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M11E WAKATAKE is getting K1W Nishikigi. Nishikigi has been a komusubi once before....! when he got double digit losses. Oops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M15E Seiyashi will be having M14E Nishikifuji. At this level (M14 or below), Nishikifuji has managed a double digit KK for the past two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 (edited) S1W Joaoiyama gets M13W Churanoumi. Despite being 30, this is only Churanoumi's third basho in Makunouchi. Edited March 2 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M7E Oshirokita will put his hopes on M16E Endo. The last time Endo was ranked this low was... oh just half-a-year ago, but before that.... about 7 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 (edited) K1W Bunbukuchagama will take J10W Wakatakakage. W5A should really be ranked MUCH higher, so a good pick for the Komusubi... I think? Edited February 28 by Jejima 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 (edited) M1W Djodjoyoshi receives S1W Wakamotoharu. Not bad for a replacement due to a mistake by yours truly! Before last basho, Wakamotoharu spent a year ranked in lower sanyaku. Edited February 28 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamashoho (aged 30) really needs to get a move on, if he wants to be able to call himself a Makunouchi rikishi. Time to get those KKs! ?

Jejima 1,303 Posted February 28 M5W Kimyama will be gambling on J14E Kitaharima. Kitaharima is 37 years old, and this is just his second basho in Juryo in the past 7 years. A last hurrah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katooshu 3,087 Posted February 28 (edited) That feeling when you draw your least favourite sekitori I guess if I look at it positively - every Hakuyozan match will be like a win for me. Either he wins and I score for the sweepstakes, or he loses and my least favourite rikishi lost. Edited February 28 by Katooshu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,303 Posted February 29 Whilst in Zimbabwe, about 35 years ago, my then girlfriend and I bought the cheapest pizza available (we were students) - banana pizza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted February 29 .....oh, and whilst living in Hong Kong, there was a Japanese 'pizza' shop, that made the pizza base from rice..... and use your imagination for what was put on top of them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yarimotsu 515 Posted February 29 (edited) I saw banana pizza a few years ago as a quirky limited item at a cheap chain. Personally I like seafood pizzas even though the ingredient quality is abysmal. On a more related note, I did end up tracking my Sekitori Sweepstake history - if anyone was interested here it is. Should I be tracking any other stats? Sekitori Sweepstake Tournament Rikishi Rank Result My Rank My Result 2023.01 TAKARAFUJI M16E 8-7 / 2023.03 TAMASHOHO J13E 8-7 M7W / 2023.05 FUJISEIUN J13E 9-6 M3W /K 2023.07 CHIYOMARU J11W 8-7 K1W /- 2023.09 ASANOYAMA M2W 9-6 K1W / 2023.11 KOTONOWAKA S2E 11-4 K1E /S 2024.01 KOTONOWAKA S1E 13-2 S1E /O yusho 2024.03 O1W In terms of rank progression timeline, looks most like Takakeisho at the moment. In terms of actual results it's kind of amazing how quickly the pattern becomes unique, but the math checks out. Only 3, including Kotoyuki who followed up with 12 then 7 wins, have gone 8-8-9-8-9 wins in consecutive basho. Dejima's progression here is almost certainly the most similar overall.

At first glance I'd wager you're the only player without make-koshi so far. Tossing a coin for seven heads in a row seems like a highly unusual feat (in addition to drawing the same rikishi twice in a row). Would you care to buy a lottery ticket for me, Mr. Gander? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
