Just for fun. The way you would like the outcome to be. Or what's likely to be, or just pure fantasy about your favorite rikishi.

Toyonoshima seams  to like the 15day schedule and will be in the juryo  yusho race. 

My boy Kagayaki will kk and get back to single digit maigashira ranks.

Daimami better kk  at M16 :/

Kakaryu is my favorite to win it all.

Goeido will finally have a good start and be in the race till day 10.

Kotoshugiku will get another Kimboshi against Kisenosato 

 

More to come...........

In ascending divisional order and remembering that this is a fantasy prediction...

Hattorizakura gets a win and retires, says "I have achieved everything I want to in sumo"

Terunofuji goes 7-0 and the comeback begins.

The rise of Tsukahara continues in makushita.

Tomokaze goes 15-0 to win juryo again and clinch promotion. 

Tochinoshin wins the big cup in a three way play-off against Onosho and Takakeisho. Yago goes 10-5 and gets the FS prize. Kisenosato retires.

Agreed and I hope so.

Anyone can get a kindoshi from Kisenosato (I don't know who is Kinenosato).     :-P

I sure hope so on the "retire" part.

Ok, I will drink sake to that.

No chance of this happening.

 

 

Now my predictions ....

Mita to go 8-7 and gets re-promoted to Sekiwake.

Takakeisho to go 11-4 for jun yusho and gets promoted to Ozeki.

Kisenosato to go KK and retire.   

Enho to go MK.

Ura to go 5-2.

Hattorizakura breaks a leg and retire or win his 2nd match of his career.  ;-)

He's kyujo. He might do that in Jonidan in March, or we might not see him on the dohyo again.

Just yesterday I told Kintamayama that if Takakeishou isn't an ozeki within 10 basho, I'll eat my hat. He told me I can start now. I stand by my prediction.

I stand with you.  No edible hat needed.

I believe mustard is the preferred condiment for hats. 

Or maybe that's hams ...

That's two hat dinners served cold, and counting..

It's only fair if there is a "cold dinner" awaiting Kinta-sama if he is proven wrong.  Suggestions?

A steak would be the most symbolic option, but that would be far too kind.

I will be more than happy to comply.

I decided to review Top Division championship winners in the modern era, to see what history has to say about Takakeisho's future.  By my count, there were 13 wrestlers who won championships while ranked Komusubi (2) or Sekiwake (11).  All of them went on to become Ozeki, and 69% continued up the banzuke to Yokozuna.

I'd say history supports your prediction.  However, if Kintamayama proves right, it (i.e., a first-time Top Division champion as a Komusubi or Sekiwake failing to secure promotion to Ozeki) will set a precedent, and all will hail Golden Balls!

History supports my prediction alright... I'm doing a deep search to see what other people have done so much while so young. I'll give you a teaser. 

Among rikishi who have won 3+ shukun-sho, about 58% made it to at least Ozeki, and nearly 30% made it to Yokozuna. Takakeishou has 3, and a yusho, and a jun-yusho, while being the youngest rikishi in makuuchi.

It took Kotomitsuki a lot more than 10 basho after his Yusho to make Ozeki, although he wasn't sanyaku when he won, but was M2, so it's comparable to Tochinoshin, though a few others have won Yusho from the Maegashira-joi without making Ozeki (Mitoizumi, Kongo).  Though today I think his 13Y (M2) -> 9 -> 12 might be good enough, while back then they had just suffered from demoting two Ozeki in consecutive basho who rushed up to the rank from an MsTD start so the NSK were more keen on waiting.

It's just hard to see Takakeishou and other young pusher thrusters be a good Ozeki without a belt game.  Mitakiumi and Tamawashi still best candidates IMO.

Yeah, but there is also time specification included in the bet - ozekihood should come within 10 basho...

Are you under the impression Tamawashi is young?  Yeah, if he put up the results of the last few years he'd be a good Ozeki candidate if he only was 10 years younger...

True, while Tamawashi can be a very fierce opponent I think he is beyond the consistency, due to age, needed for Ozeki promotion now.
