Makuuchi (top tier):
Fujiryoga (M17) beat Wakanosho (M16)
Oshoumi (M15) beat Ryuden (M16)
Tobizaru (M15) beat Mitakeumi (M14)
Roga (M14) beat Tamawashi (M13)
Kotoeiho (M13) beat Shishi (M12)
Kinbozan (M11) beat Tokihayate (M12)
Hakunofuji (M10) beat Asanoyama (M10)
Nishikifuji (M9) beat Ura (M11)
Asahakuryu (M8) beat Oshoma (M8)
Asakoryu (M7) beat Abi (M9)
Churanoumi (M6) beat Chiyoshoma (M7)
Shodai (M5) beat Fujiseiun (M6)
Daieisho (M4) beat Wakamotoharu (M5)
Oho (M3) beat Gonoyama (M4)
Takayasu (K) beat Ichiyamamoto (M2)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Atamifuji (S)
Takanosho (M1) beat Kotoshoho (S)
Wakatakakage (K) beat Kotozakura (O)
Kirishima (O) beat Yoshinofuji (M2)
Fujinokawa (M1) beat Hoshoryu (Y) by default/withdrawal
WITHDRAWAL: Hoshoryu (Y). Right thigh/hanstring. Occurred yesterday during loss to Takayasu. Tournament over. Out about 2 weeks. Fujinokawa got the fusen as a result.
Of note: Poor Hakkaku, just can’t catch a break with his Yokozuna. This is also the first time since 2021 that a tournament that began with two Yokozuna will see neither finish. Hoshoryu sounds like a game-time decision for the upcoming France special event in June per stablemaster Tatsunami. There is still a long way to go but the door just got blown wide open for Kirishima in his quest for a second straight title, moreso with Kotozakura and both Sekiwake now 0-2. Should Kirishima triumph again, it has been said that his chances of Yokozuna promotion for July are virtually zero, much like after Aonishiki’s double earlier this year. Starting tomorrow we’ll also have a Juryo man up each day until there is another withdrawal. First up will be just-demoted Onokatsu who is J1.
Co Juryo:
Tochitaikai (J14) beat Okaryu (J13)
Enho (J14) beat Hakuyozan (J13)
Kazekeno (J11) beat Hitoshi (J12)
Tamashoho (J12) beat Nishikigi (J11)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Midorifuji (J10) beat Kayo (J9)
Kagayaki (J7) beat Shirokuma (J8)
Toshinofuji (J7) beat Shonannoumi (J8)
Kazuma (J6) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Meisei (J6) beat Kitanowaka (J5)
Kyokukaiyu (J4) beat Dewanoryu (J3)
Hatsuyama (J3) beat Asasuiryu (J4)
Onokatsu (J1) beat Sadanoumi (J2)
Daiseizan (J1) beat Takerufuji (J2)
Of note: The good start for Enho’s Juryo return continues as he is off to a quick 2-0 start, with a Makushita man now coming ip daily that means tomorrow he’ll face Takakento, one that Enho edged out for the last Juryo spot this tournament. Takakento is Ms1 this time. As noted above, Onokatsu goes back to the top tier for tomorrow due to the Hoshoryu withdrawal.
