Lower tier notes: 5 Makushita have earned promotion with 4-0 records so far, including Kinbozan (Makushita 1), who will be making his Juryo debut in September as likely the first rikishi from Kazakhstan to do so.
Asanoyama Watch: The former Ozeki, now at Sandanme 22, went to 4-0 and earned promotion with a win today. At least one more win should be enough to get him up to Makushita in September. He is one of 6 in the Sandanme who have earned promotion at 4-0. 5 in the Jonidan have promotions now along with one in the Jonokuchi.
In the top 2 tiers, Day 9 is now the earliest anyone can clinch promotion/winning records or demotion/losing records.
