When I hinted earlier this year that Onosato is more susceptible to injury, I rather meant he is less able to fight injured than Hoshoryu. I think it is absolutely vital for him to be careful and rest at once, with his big frame it is much easier to aggravate the injury.

Terunofuji is injury expert, he saw it at once yesterday.

From Nishonoseki:

“He injured the acromioclavicular joint in his left shoulder. He tried moving at keiko this morning, but after talking with him, we decided not to push it and to have him rest. We’re very sorry that he has to sit out on the final day.”

NHK reported that Onosato injured the shoulder at the tachiai in the Aonishiki bout, but went on and won.

Well, that's pretty awesome. We're surely getting a new, very deserving Ozeki. Exciting times. His reaction and that of his tsukebito in the hanamichi was delightful.

I saw a few remarks in the leadup to the match about Aonishiki having to fight twice, but conversely Hoshoryu was coming into that playoff cold, having had a lot of time to think (or overthink) about it. But you still have to go out and win, and Aonishiki did it. Well deserved first yusho and hopefully only the first of many.

Wow, what a move by Aonishiki to slip around Hoshoryu and get a rear grip for the win. I am going to watch that match ten more times!

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable what this boy has achieved in such a short time. Quickest to Sekiwake (12 basho, previous record 13 by Konishiki). Quickest to Ozeki (13/18 Kotooshu). And he's still only 21. He now beat Hoshoryu 4 out of 4 times. If it goes on like that...Yokozuna in 2027, if not 2026.

Aonishiki ozeki within 2025 - that (Haru 2024) prediction fulfilled, so I go on with the next not so bold one looking now: yokozuna within 2026

All of this serves to remind you of the magnitude of what you are expecting from him.

He's always a bit below my extreme expectations, like only one kinboshi and one sansho, and several basho behind my projected schedule for him

Aonishiki will overtake him (Shishi) by the end of the year and next year become the 2nd Ukrainian ozeki (after Taiho)

It took Aonishiki till Natsu to overtake Shishi - but he still may make it to ozeki till the end of the year

If only he was a bit bigger...

He's about the same size as Asashoryu and Harumafuji. No problems there.

I hope Aonishiki treasures the Sanshō he picked up this time, because I don't think he will be getting any more of them.

Just think about the missed kinboshi, if he had strechtched it out a bit :-D At least he has 1, opposed to Hoshoryu and Onosato with 0. Winning again! (Laughing...)

NHK reported that the NSK will have a special rijikai to decide the promotion - the (unstoppable) process has started - never decided against so far

Asked about this basically decided ozeki promotion in the NHK interview: "I'm happy, but since there is a rank above on the banzuke, I want to aim for that" - voices of amazement of the hall

Didn't the Kyokai make sure he received two more chances than he was due?

Arguable, but there was overall some really weird banzuke making. I can't see any real ill will.

Aonishiki is outrageous. Ozeki will surely be a stepping stone. 

How many 21 year old rikishi have been better than him in recent memory?

5 basho in a row sansho since entering makuuchi for Aonishiki is the most, joint with Onosato, with his first shukunsho also all 3 types now https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2025112300363&g=spo#:~:text=相撲

Onosato had one more each of shukun- and kantosho

Sansho have been decided

Shukun-Sho: Aonishiki conditional if he wins the yusho

Kanto-Sho: Kirishima if he wins today, Ichiyamamoto if he wins today

Gino-Sho: Aonishiki outright, Yoshinofuji outright

all conditional sansho awarded
