Guess Kisenosato's Aite

[Jakusotsu]

This may well cost me the yusho, but here goes...

Day 13 - Tochiozan

[XiaoTan]

Thinking along the same lines - Tochiozan for me as well please

[Kotoviki]

Tochiozan looks more likely than Tochinowaka who is kinda "next in line" so I will also go with Ozan!

[Profomisakari]

Day 12 too Tochiozan for me!

Profomisakari

[Holleshoryu]

day 13 robert ;-) ... for me tochiozan too

[Chisaiyama]

We know how much the Japanese revere Tradition, or course there is some possibility that the Torikumi makers aren't traditional Japanese, but traditionally the 5th Ozeki gets 3 Ozekis and a Yokozuna before getting a break and then the final Ozeki on Day 15. So, while Ozone is tempting, I'm going for

Day 13: Kotooshu

[Oshirokita]

My first draft was Harumafuji or Myogiryu, but I think I will let the torikumi unfold as:

Day 13 Kitataiki

[kuroimori]

Tozan seems a bit too low and there are 2 Ozeki with similar records, so I go with

Kotooshu for Day 13

[Asashosakari]

Going with what feels like the most straight-forward pick to me:

Day 13 Tochinowaka

[Asashosakari]

Day 11:

13 Hakuho (correct)

1 (no pick)

Day 12:

10 Baruto (correct)

1 Kotooshu

2 Harumafuji

1 (no pick)

Yaochoyama (7-5) Y1

Asashosakari (8-4) O1 Profomisakari (6-6)

Holleshoryu (4-8) S1 Kuroimori (6-5-1)

S2 Andonishiki (6-6)

Jejima (5-7) K1 Kofuji (intai)

Anjoboshi (kosho) M1 Jakusotsu (9-3)

Chisaiyama (4-8) M2 Kotoviki (4-7-1)

Oshirokita (8-4) M3 Gernobono (4-8)

Shimodahito (3-6-3) M4

XiaoTan (7-5) Mz ScreechingOwl (1-1-10)

Kisenosato's aites: 1. M2W Goeido, 2. M1W Aminishiki, 3. KE Miyabiyama, 4. SW Toyonoshima, 5. SE Kakuryu, 6. M1E Takekaze, 7. KW Wakakoyu, 8. M2E Okinoumi, 9. M4E Homasho, 10. O1W Kotoshogiku, 11. YE Hakuho, 12. O1E Baruto

Jejima's drone picks:

Day 13: Homasho

Day 14: Harumafuji

Day 15: Kotooshu

I dare say his Homasho pick won't turn out as inspired as Jakusotsu's did...

[Andonishiki]

day 13: kotooshu

[shimodahito]

13 kotooshu

[Yaochoyama]

It won't be Kotooshu and not that big on Ozan:

Day 13 - Harumafuji

[Oshirokita]

Day 14 Harumafuji

[Jakusotsu]

Kudos to Asashosakari for his kinboshi - let's share the yusho, shall we? (Sign of approval...)

Day 14 - Harumafuji

Day 15 - Kotooshu

[Gernobono]

day 14 harumafuji

day 15 kotooshu

just to make sure i do not miss another day

[XiaoTan]

Oh well - copy paste:

Day14 - Harumafuji

Day 15 - Kotooshu

[Asashosakari]

We can share the shukun-sho, Klaus, but I do believe yusho-sharing is proscribed by the rules. (Sign of approval...)

Hate to bandwagon into the yusho, but...

Day 14 - Harumafuji

Day 15 - Kotooshu

[Holleshoryu]

day 14 harumafuji

day 15 kotooshu

[Profomisakari]

Day 14 Harumafuji

Profomisakari

[Kotoviki]

Grrrr should have gone with Tochinowaka... oops!!!

Day 14 - Harumafuji

Day 15 - Kotooshu

[Andonishiki]

Day 14 harumafuji

Day 15 kotooshu

not much left to say....

except: BAAAAAAAAAA RUUUUUUUU TOOOOOOOOOOO

bring it home !

and....

henka is not a crime, if used really learry just a handful of times during a year or three :-)

[Chisaiyama]

Yeah, what the heck, me too:

Day 14: Harumafuji

Day 15: Kotooshu

[kuroimori]

Closing in, preparing to part ways with my Kyushu 2011 GKA trophy I join the mob

Day 14 Ama

Day 15 Kotooshu

Now leaning back to watch Bart fumble...

[Yaochoyama]

Pity the lack of drama over these last 2 days, but congrats to Asashosakari for yusho. Hopefully Jakusotsu can find some solace in a couple of special prizes.

And did any bandwagon ever lose momentum faster than Tochiozan's yesterday? The first 5 picks were all this, but none of the last 7.

Day 14 - Harumafuji
