Top 10 Sumo Records Natsu 2021

[WAKATAKE]

We're back friends! A lot happened this Natsu basho, being the first Natsu basho in two years that was held after the tournament was unfortunately cancelled last year. This is also the first tournament in a post Kakuryu sumo world, and the first official basho to cap off Terunofuji's unprecedented return to the ozeki rank he lost three years ago. Not only that, but the Kaiju also made a statement in the absence of the GOAT that Kaiju is the next force to be reckoned with by capping off his fourth yusho! However we have high hopes for Takakeisho who kept things interesting all the way until the end? Is this the start of rivalry that will go a long way? We'll have to see come Nagoya. And now my friends, let's dive into the Top 10 Sumo Records Natsu 2021 edition!

Ryuden had a top rank in Juryo at the time he fell down the ranks and only made his top-division debut later.
