Onosato Gonoyama Nishikifuji Not that I think that Onosato will win.

Day 15 torikumi Sanyaku 6: Onosato (vs Hoshoryu) 1: Kotozakura (vs Aonishiki) 2: Takanosho (vs Oho) 1: Yoshinofuji (vs Takayasu) M1-M8 1: Yoshinofuji (vs Takayasu) 2: Shodai (vs Hakuoho) 1: Roga (vs Wakatakakage) 4: Ura (vs Kirishima) 5: Ichiyamamoto (vs Wakamotoharu) 1: Oshoma (vs Hiradoumi) 3: Mitakeumi (vs Atamifuji) 3: Shonnanoumi (vs Onokatsu) 1: Churanoumi (vs Ryuden) 2: Gonoyama (vs Abi) 1: Kinbozan (vs Sadanoumi) M9+ 1: Roga (vs Wakatakakage) 3: Mitakeumi (vs Atamifuji) 3: Shonnanoumi (vs Onokatsu) 1: Churanoumi (vs Ryuden) 2: Gonoyama (vs Abi) 1: Kinbozan (vs Sadanoumi) 1: Midorifuji (vs Tomokaze) 3: Nishikifuji (vs Tobizaru) 1: Chiyoshoma (vs Kotoshoho) 2: Shishi (vs Meisei) 2: Oshoumi (vs Fujiseiun) 2: Kotoeiho (vs Asakoryu)

The first screen shot shown, with Aonishiki flying out of the ring, had me thinking 'what's all the commotion, Aonishiki clearly lost'. So, there is some danger in just posting screenshots. As far as the one you posted it seems clear to me that Aonishiki is not in a stable position (neither is Onosato). Given that, I don't think 'more unrecoverable' is a deciding factor - it's about what happens next.

Hoshoryu Ura Tomokaze

Circling the feet doesn't change the fact that they don't seem to call the top of the foot touching down as a loss (I remember just one instance of it and it caused a stir on the forum). It may be a rule on paper, but it's not a rule in practice. It's like having a law still on the books (such as all adult men being required to practice archery) that isn't enforced. Officially still the law, but clearly not the law in the way it is not-enforced.

Nishikifuji Kinbozan Gonoyama

With Kotozakura now mathematically out of the Yusho race they could split Onosato-Kotozakura up. Aonishiki-Hoshoryu ought to still happen and the rest of sanyaku is not genki.
