RotoSumo Aki 2025

[Gurowake 4,152]

Ozeki Chishafuwaku falls a bit short in continuing his Yokozuna run.  Ozeki Sakura goes MK and is kadoban.  

Despite needing the most wins among those Sekiwake up for promotion, Bunbukuchagama met his required win amount for promotion to Ozeki while the other Sekiwake all went MK.

Yusho winner and new Sekiwake Bill was MK last basho and thus not up for promotion to Ozeki.  Other new Sekiwake Next-ozeki-ura will be the next Ozeki in this game if they manage 10 wins in the next basho.

Flohru returns as Komusubi with a small KK.  Former Sekiwake Pandaazuma manages to do enough to be demoted only to Komusubi.  They are joined by the best mageshira rank/record score from Kintamayama.

There were 16 new or returning players and only 3 players falling off the banzuke, making the highest-numbered Makushita rank Ms26, far beyond what I've seen before, with the previous record being Ms20 on a few occasions.
