The King has returned! Terunofuji managed a successful comeback to start 2024 and show why he is the yokozuna. But the younger has produced another rising star, as Kotonowaka will become an ozeki for Haru 2024. Is this the start of a long career at the top? Will our other ozeki make progress? Is Onosato the going to overshadow some of our other newer stars in the division? Will Takarafuji stay in Makuuchi?
