I don't understand the format. To make it to the top 32 for individuals, some have had to win 5 matches, others just 1.

Last year 3rd, student yokozuna Bukhchuluun had initially planned to return to Mongolia after high school graduation - he was in the same Nittaidai Kashiwa high wrestling club as Hoshoryu and Oshoma, but in first year his father died in a traffic accident - his father wanted him to give sumo a try. He won the wrestling 92kg category at the interhigh in 2019, but then switched to the Nittaidai sumo club as he entered university. "Of course I want to go into ozumo" "I want to become yokozuna" http://hochi.news/articles/20241102-OHT1T51202.html?page=1

What Nittaidai also has going for them is the best years 1-3 talent in college sumo. Their success should continue even as Bukhchuluun graduates. Conversely, Takushoku losing Goshima and Kodama will hit them hard. Nihon U may also be depleted as Hanaoka and Kawakami graduate, although they have enough depth to still be in the mix among the top teams.
