Really tough one to pick despite only having to pick for four groups. S/K feels like a giant tossup that hinges on whether or not Takayasu is still injured. Endo hasn't been great lately but I don't think he's injured so I'm banking on him finding his sumo and getting double digits like the last couple times he fell this low.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
It's a good metaphor as Takayasu is lying flat on his side as he ends most of his matches.

It looks like Tokushoryu, the People's Champ, did not retire. He'll be fighting on even numbered days this basho (day 2, day 4, day 6, etc.) as Makushita #2 West.

Y/O
Sometimes go multiple nights in a row without sleeping because I can't stop thinking about the fact that I'm going to die one day, a day that is inevitably quite soon by many measures, and how pretty much everything I have planned for the next few years simply doesn't seem very important to me, like if I had to plan out a whole life all at once I wouldn't choose to do any of that stuff and yet that's how I'm going to spend some of the time I have left, I don't even know how to avoid it or even come to peace with it, it's loving obliterating, anyway, Takakeisho

I love Chiyomaru so much.

We've got our draft picks in! My power has been flickering in and out but it looks like we're going to post. Welcome back to riderchop and Elissimpark, returning to Fantasy after being kyujo for 15 and 14 basho respectively, and to Spokes, who is narrowly avoiding going banzuke-gai. Also welcome to the newcomers who've just completed mae-zumo: Average Lettuce, Eldoop, ImplicitAssembler, Samuel L. Hacksaw, Single Tight Female, and Winter Stormer. Allow me to urge you to ganbatte kudasai and uphold the spirit of Fantasy Sumo.
