Great effort by Kakuryu. One of these days...

No need to even limit it to ozeki opponents, with modern kadoban regulations no 7-7 kadoban ozeki has ever lost on senshuraku.2015.01 O2w Goeido vs O1w Kotoshogiku 2013.05 O2w Kotooshu vs O1w Kakuryu 2009.05 O3e Chiyotaikai vs Se Baruto 2006.03 O2w Kaio vs Se Hakuho 2003.05 O2e Musoyama vs O1w Kaio 2001.03 O2w Dejima vs M6e Asashoryu 1988.07 O2w Asashio vs O2e Hokutenyu 1987.07 O3w Hokutenyu vs O1w Konishiki 1977.07 O3e Mienoumi vs M5w Oshio 1974.09 O1w Daikirin vs O1e Takanohana 1958.05 O2w Matsunobori vs Sw Annenyama Plenty of venerable names there on the right-hand side. The only post-1927 ozeki demotion that was sealed on the final day was Itsutsushima in 1942. Well, I guess you warned us.. I stand corrected...

Yeah, he's definitely out... Glad for Takarafuji's win; I wonder where he's been this whole basho.

Hi Everyone! To me, the newbie, it would have been rather weird if they (K and W) decide to skip the last day. I assume they would try their best to go out with a win. I'm also a bit surprised that Kyokutenho apparently won't really consider remaining in juryo, there'd be nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. Terunofuji doesn't strike me as someone who would give a freebie to anyone. Giku will have to take care of this himself.
