Jejima 1,314 Posted April 30 Okay, let's start the draw. First off, Mae-zumo.... What? We don't have any new recruits? If you would like to join this game, it's not too late. Just reply to this thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 Let's get to Juryo! There are currently (@Shiroiokami and @Terarno can still enter later, if they so dare.) 10 active players in Juryo. Randomise them..... J4E Sakura J1E Meletyoshi J2W Gaijingai J5W Katooshu J3E Ack! J6W Taikoubana J3W Kaminariyuki J6E Hakuhonofan J1W WAKATAKE J5E nelimw ....and begin the draw!

Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J4E Sakura might be happy to get M5W Meisei. Meisei is just outside the joi-jin, so should be expected to get a KK? The last time he achieved a double digit KK was over three years ago, so Sakura shouldn't expect too much of a jump upwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J1E Meletyoshi has drawn M6W Midorifuji. Midorifuji just missed out on a KK last basho - but ranked outside of the joi-jin, he really should be favoured for a KK, in my opinion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 (edited) J2W Gaijingai will be represented by J2E Bushozan. Bushozan's last MK in Juryo was in March 2022. This might actually be a decent pick for the 'foreign ruler of the dohyo'. Edited May 1 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J5W Katooshu will be championed by J2W Daishoho. This Mongolian had a 9 win winning-streak last basho (ending up 10-5). Katooshu will hope that that form continues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J3E Ack! will be relying on J10W Hakuyozan. The last time Hakuyozan was ranked at J10W (two bashos previously), he managed a very nice 10-5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 (edited) J6W Taikoubana starts his sekitori career with J4W Asakoryu. Asakoryu is at his highest career rank.... how high can he go? Edited May 1 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J3W Kaminariyuki will be wishing good things from M14W Oshoma. This is Oshoma's third basho in Juryo - the previous two ended in one KK and one MK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 (edited) J3W Kaminariyuki will be hoping for a result from J1W Myogiryu. The last time Myogiryu was ranked in Juryo was back in January 2018! A quick bounce back to Makunouchi? Kaminariyuki would like that. Edited May 1 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J6E Hakuhonofan will rely on M3E Takayasu. Takayasu won the jun-Yusho last basho. Can he go one better this basho? (Probably not....) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J1W WAKATAKE has to trust M1W Daieisho. Prior to this basho, Daieisho spent a year ranked at Sekiwake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 J5E nelimw completes the Juryo draw (for now?) with J8E Hidenoumi. This 34 year old was last active in Makunouchi back in November 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 (edited) Barbecue over (it was delicious), so let's turn our attention to the Makunouchi division. Let's order the active players ( @#1HENKAFAN and @Gusoyama can still sign up, if they are genki enough)..... There were 40 items in your list. Here they are in random order: M12E Jejima M11E Kaba M9E Chijanofuji M13E Chiyotasuke M10W Kimyama S2E Takanorappa M8W Benihana S1W Karasukurai M3E Baku M4E sumojoann M12W Suwihuto M16W Athenayama M2E TheGunbaiHolder M16E Kaiowaka M18E Getayukata M4W Kaito M13W Fashiriteta O1W Yarimotsu S1E chishafuwaku M1E Wamahada M6E Holleshoryu O1E Tetsuba M11W Oshirokita M6W lilfox M15E Fujiko M5W Reonito M9W Sumo Spiffy M1W RaeucherLax M3W Joaoiyama M15W Ganzohnesushi M7W Hoshotakamoto M14W Kotononami K1E Bunbukuchagama M8E Flohru K1W Djodjoyoshi M7E Ryoshishikunin M17E Rokudenashi M10E Gernobono M14E Seiyashi M2W Jakusotsu Edited May 1 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 Me first? Okay..... M12E Jejima gets M17E Tsurugisho. Makes a change from a Juryo also-ran.... Tsurugisho withdrew on day 5 of the last basho. I hope he is genki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 My youngest son M11E Kaba's hopes are on Y1E Terunofuji. Eeek. Maybe he'll need another draw? Maybe an early withdrawal and MK? Maybe a Yusho? No idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 M9E Chijanofuji takes J14E Tochitaikai. This will be Tochitaikai's first ever basho in the paid ranks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 M13E Chiyotasuke has drawn M8W Kotoshoho. The last time Kotoshoho managed a KK in May was in 2019, when ranked in Makushita. Not his month? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted May 1 M10W Kimyama has been gifted O2W Kirishima. An MK last basho - but surely a glitch? The kadoban Ozeki has achieved five double digit KKs in the past eight bashos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
