WAKATAKE 2,759 Posted May 27, 2024 https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202405270001404.html The YDC has decided to wait until the Aki basho before they give any advice to Terunofuji. They are disappointed with the Natsu result, but appreciate his at least trying to compete. They will review his performance in Nagoya and Aki. They are unclear which advice they will give should he not complete the next two basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as he's the only Yokozuna, he's relatively safe... especially since there is no clear successor at this point. Onosato might become one if he avoid injuries but even then, the best possible case scenario would see him promoted in 2025. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This iteration of the YDC has been quite chill. The current chairman strikes me as a very reasonable chap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
