Susanoo

I wavered between Ama and Otsukasa. Tamarikido's leg continue functioning, if a certain fixed angle is not exceeded. I have visualized his reversed victory repeatedly in the past . And I feared severely that it might cause my defeat. Although there was neither a defeat good nor bad for defeat I adhered to its difference yesterday. However, I do not have the feeling of regret. It is hesitated for Kyokutenho to gain Sansho after penitence generally in me. On the other hand, for Ama, the upper load of one more victory has a big meaning. My mistake was having applied the Japanese idea to them. This is a natural result when they consider only the thing of the next basho. Possibly I should also have taken into consideration that the influence one more victory affects the next banzuke was 0 for Ama. Possibly I should have concentrated only on torikumi without excessive consideration. I enjoy sumo too much for myself, and lose the calmness about a guess in many cases. However, it is my pleasure to see sumo by selfish imagination, and it is the food for a guess for sumo games a little. Congrats to Imumaru-san! Excellent! Thank you for competing to the final ,Meyeryu-san. Ha ha ha ,son na koto nai !

I am sorry that explanation was insufficient. Than you Kintamayama san.

The question 5-14) was decided as follows. 14)「横綱大関３人以上と対戦し１勝もできずに勝ち越す力士」 Someone will lose all the matches of 3 times or more against Ozeki or Yokozuna and will get 8 or more wins.

14)「横綱大関に１勝もできずに勝ち越す力士」 Someone will get 8 or more wins without winning even one win against Ozeki or Yokozuna. Since this text that I translated is not suitable, I am just going to ask the sponsor now about how this is changed. It seems that the target rikishi's banzuke or the number of matches against Yokozuna Ozeki is missing there at least. It will be as follows supposing I imagine and rewrite a sponsor's psychology. Someone in Sekiwake or lower will get 8 wins with matches against all Yokozuna and Ozeki(restricts to a first day participant). In commonsense judgment, only Kotoshogiku becomes an exclusion rikishi in a candidate. Moreover, this question is decided by Kyujo in the halfway of someone in Yokozuna or Ozeki. 12) Kasugao will lose by Nagete(throw techniques) Nagete means the "投げ手" in the classification of Kimarite in a NSK formal homepage. Nagete (投げ手): Uwatenage, Shitatenage, Kotenage, Sukuinage, Uwatedashinage, Shitatedashinage, Koshinage, Kubinage, Ipponzeoi, Nichounage, Yaguranage, Kakenage, Tsukaminage Therefore, Tokkurinage{Hinerite[twist]}, Harimanage[Hinerite], and Okurinage[Tokushuwaza] are not contained here.
