To divert a little bit, who do you all think is the most likely next ozeki:

1) Shodai
2) Takayasu
3) Wakatakakage
4) Hoshoryu
5) Kotonowaka
6) Wakamotoharu
7) other

Personally I don't think Takayasu can maintain his level of competition for the next two basho (I don't think they'll give it to him after Hatsu without something crazy). I could see Hoshoryu getting the nod after Haru, he's coming off an 11-4 and hasn't had a make-koshi since Kyushu 2021. If WTK won with a 14-1 or a 15-0 I could see him getting it as well.

Comedy option is Shodai goes 11-4 for a repromotion. I'm betting on Hoshoryu and Wakatakakage to be next in line.

It's gotta be Wakatakakage, he's looked solid the past few basho and has the type of demeanor they'd probably like an ozeki to have.

I haven't checked but a forwarding service like Buyee would probably should work for this site to ship outside of Japan. I've used it for other things in the past and had no complaints.

This is going to be a good basho.

Yeah, watching Kintamayama vids while drinking coffee is my basho routine. I really get settled in just in time for the Basho to end and then I feel lost for a few days, haha.

Same here. A nice breakfast basho is always pleasant.

Day 3: Papa is looking washed out this tournament, seemed like he was protecting his neck during the bout.

Yeah he's not in good form right now. Hate to see it.

Day 3: Hoshouryuu is looking very strong right now. Also another win for Ura! :unsmith:

TRAGEDY! Kintamayama's computer died so he won't be uploading any basho recap videos for a few days. He sounded pretty bummed out.

Day 4: Natto has so many more pixels. I'm not used to HD sumo.

Aoiyama is way more mobile than I've seen in some time. Has he lost weight or something?

Meisei vs Wakamotoharu was excellent!

Hoshoryuu had a hell of a recovery from that tachiai.

Day 6:
Good win for Ura today let's keep the momentum going!

Great match today with Hoshoryuu and Midorifuji.

Aoiyama also continuing to impress but it's still too early since I don't think he's gone against more upper rank guys yet.

That's a bummer but wishing the best for Okinoumi.

Re: Abi
I don't like his style of fighting. He's got a strong nodowa push and not much else it feels like. When people can either withstand his thrusts or get around them he gets exposed imo.

Kotonowaka did a great job of keeping Takakeisho from getting his usual strong tachiai. Feels like once he averted that he had it all worked out.

The destruction of fan coverage channels continues apace. Kintamayama’s channel has been shuttered by YouTube.

Or hit up Natto's discord/find whatever youtube channel he uses this time around. He's never broken his stride when he's been DMCA'd

Day 4: I might be calling it too early, but i feel like Keisho's yoko run is toast. That heavily-taped ankle plus his losses so far make me feel a kyujo is coming.
