Kirishima has had some really bizarre and bad sumo these last couple days. I hope he's okay.

TRADE: Can I please trade Kirishima for Kotozakura? In Chris' latest video he says that Kirishima's neck condition has regressed.

day 5, Kotozakura/Tobizaru: I genuinely think Koto stepped out before Tobizaru went out:  He still has his heel on the hay, albeit barely.

Day 05:  Trades Requested: ratmosphere - requested no trade after Robviously's post; my tracker assumes it is okay to cancel the trade and retain Takayasu bessantj - Kotozakura for Kirishima

It's a shame he's doing poorly because I love Hokutofuji's dumb over-dramatic thing with the salt.

So who's the most likely Japanese rikishi to have an actual shot at Yokozuna some day? Onosato?

Loving that we got 6 people tied for the lead right now. It's absolute madness and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. Trades: ratmosphere - normally a post would need to be made before the auto-trades deadline but I have no issue with this since this is hana-zumo. bessantj - trade registered.

Khizan posted:Kotozakura, probably, because he's a healthy ozek and any win he gets is the start of a yokozuna run. Yeah, Koto's probably at the top of the list. Young, consistent Ozeki without major health issues. Onosato's just under him just because he has to make Ozeki first, but once he makes it, I'd put him above Koto. Atamifuji might have a shot too. He's still looking for consistency at the top of the card, but just making it there at 21 is impressive and if he doesn't wreck his body there's probably some improvement over the next few years.

Went to the kokugikan for day 3 (first basho in more than 10 years, god) and I think I’m now like the fourth goon to get hit by the curse of ‘if I go before day 5, surely I’ll get to see a Takayasu match!’ Ended the day with Kirishima falling haplessly into the void, which was a rousing climax in itself, but increasingly looking kind of tragic in a general sense.

Going to process trades in the morning. This leaves us with Kotozakura and Hoshoryu; having 5 active wrestlers in your top 4 ranks is not great!
