Kotozakura (O) beat Kirishima (S)
Aonishiki (O) beat Takanosho (M3)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Oho (K)
Atamifuji (M2) beat Onisato (Y). KINBOSHI!!! The second career-and consecutive-Gold Star Victory for Atamifuji!
Leader: Shishi, Abi, Atamifuji, Kirishima, Aonishiki (8-2)
Of note: This is bad uncharted territory for Onosato, the first 3-match or greater losing streak of his career. He is now 6-4 and fading fast. Clearly something with the left shoulder amidst ongoing withdrawal rumors. And that’s also two straight Kinboshi for Atamifuji, who also clinched promotion and may finally break through to Sanyaku in March. And hopefully he gets to keep today’s prize money, he may have “ceremonially” given it to stablemaster Isegahama (Terunofuji) after his first one yesterday. Hoshoryu bounced back today from his two straight losses and is still in it at 7-3, while Aonishiki secured a winning record in his Ozeki debut. Abi & Shishi also clinch promotions while staying in the lead after Kirishima took an uncommon loss to Kotozakura-he les their series 14-6 coming in. If Onosato can go tomorrow his opponent is Kirishima, Hoshoryu has Takayasu.
Juryo:
Nishikigi (J12) beat Kazuma (J14)
Hakuyozan (J14) beat Kazekeno (J10)
Wakanosho (J11) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Kyokukaiyu (J12) beat Kayo (J9)
Dewanoryu (J13) beat Kitanowaka (J8)
Asasuiryu (J7) beat Hidenouni (J13)
Sadanoumi (J4) beat Hitoshi (J9)
Shonannoumi (J4) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Meisei (J8) beat Fujiryoga (J3)
Shirokuma (J3) beat Tamashoho (J5)
Daiseizan (J2) beat Tochitaikai (J7) by default/withdrawal
Kagayaki (J2) beat Takerufuji (J5)
Kotoeiho (J1) beat Hakuyozan (J6)
Nishinoryu (J6) beat Fujiseiun (J1)
Leader: Sadanoumi (8-2)
WITHDRAWAL: Tochitaikai (J7). Right knee. Tournament possibly over. Will be a toss-up on demotion to Makushita with the equivalent of a 3-12 record but will be demoted regardless as he is now 3-7 so that 8th loss will come tomorrow. Daiseizan got the fusen as a result. Sadanoumi is now the sole leader and has clinched promotion but needs at least 2 more wins for a realistic chance at a tip tier return. Because of Tochitaikai’s withdrawal, Tochimusashi will be the first Makushita man up to Juryo tomorrow and will face Kazuma. Tochimusashi is 2-3 and must win out for a Juryo return from Ms1.
Lower tier notes: As expected, no match for Enho today as the Makushita final 4 get a day off before their next match. Tomorrow he will face Tochimaru with the winner going for the championship on Friday so if Enho wins both, he still has a chance at a Juryo return in March. That of course means Fukai-Nobehara is the other match to decide who will be the other half of the championship. With their 5th day finished, the Jonidan now has 6 left at 5-0 so a playoff will be very possible.
