Marching Powder posted:I think I read that he's retiring due to injury. Yeah I sort of assumed he had retired but his Wikipedia page only states that he withdrew from the March 2022 basho due to injury and he seems to still get a spot on the bazuke each basho. His current rank is Sd30w

i've been a really half-hearted takakeisho evangelist for a while now. i've maintained the opinion that when he's on, literally no one can stop him. consistency is obviously a problem, but i genuinely believe if he gets the rope, keisho will use the expectations of the office to make noticeable improvements to his already formidable game and will go down as a legitimately great rikishi. i'm rooting for the guy.

If Takakeisho loses, he'll end with the exact same record as 2 years ago when Tokushoryu took the yusho from M17.

Day 14: Kotoshoho yes! Ichiyamamoto vs Azumaryu should have been called a matta. Azumaryu didn't have his right hand fully down before Ichiyamamoto started moving. Glad my whole active stable has their KK.

Great basho, sorry I haven't been able to update the thread with fantasy results. This is a big field, and there's been quite a few kyujo so my spreadsheet is pretty unwieldy, especially trying to catch up on like 6 days of action. I hoping (hoping!) to get day 14 results up before senshuraku but realistically I doubt I'll be done before then. Luckily, there shouldn't be 20 inches of rain in the Bay Area during the March tournament, and also I should probably take another pass and automate even more of my spreadsheet.

My all SHODAI strategy has not paid off this basho but I keep the faith that he will reward me with SHODAI antics. Pulling for Takakeisho. Been a beast all tournament and would like to see him pull it out.

I think they'll be tempted to do it just so that he gets locked in as yokozuna-ozeki and solves their banzuke issue until they have to medically retire one of them. I do have to admit that I want to see Kotoshoho take it, though, just because everybody has Takakeisho on their fantasy roster so a win from him is sorta score neutral.

He was runner-up in a playoff last time. It would be ridiculous to withhold it after he's been a solid ozeki for 4 years. He's got 2 yusho and 8 jun-yusho. He's earned it.

YDC decides to not award him the rope, announcing that even with his Ozeki records, they feel that bleeding from the nose is not upholding the dignity of the position.

I think overall Takakeisho will have earned it if he wins but I would have liked to see him pull off at least 13 wins. Unless I'm missing one, Hakuho only ever had a single 12-3 yusho and I'm going to hold his standard as my unfair bar for the rest of my life.

they absolutely won't do it, but the way things have worked out so far today, you could make a mathematical case for having five or six sekiwake at the next basho lmao

That's the first time in a good while I have seen an unambiguous hair pull and DQ, usually there's some leeway/hand-tangled-in-hair on viewing it but, no, just clean grabbing the topknot for a solid amount of time. What a way to lose an award e: Do they recycle or re-use those advertisement banners, or do they sell them off? I kinda want a HOT STAFF to hang on my wall for the giggles.

Heck of a day 15. Was wondering if they'd give Hoshoryu a conditional fighting spirit award for pushing through on one ankle, but he's a sekiwake, 8-7 normally wouldn't merit one. The next banzuke will be interesting. Particularly what they do with sekiwake, and what they do with Asanoyama.

Eh Asanoyama will either be in a top Juryo slot or a near bottom Makuuchi slot, pretty mundane either way. As for sanyaku hmmmmm I'm thinking: Sekiwake: Wakatakakage and Hoshoryu (obviously), and Kiribayama as 3rd. Komusubi: Wakamotoharu, Kotonowaka and Daieisho.
