Actually, reading the various papers (which is an inherent part of my job here at Sumoforum Inc... ) I detect a real sense of fatigue from him. He seems to feel he HAS to carry on, being the last of the "old guard" and all. I wonder if Jonosuke gets the same drift from his reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we'll find out sooner or later, it's only a year until moto-Kotozakura reaches retirement age... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
