I see. I wonder if yakuza ever tried to profit from it. I'm not sure how much betting is a thing there.

Could be very well. Rewatched it, and Chiyotairyu looked like straightening up as if waiting the call, because he started out a moment before, Teru being late for a half breath. So he might have thought he did a false start. Maybe since tricking the other to make a bad move is allowed, could be the judges thought it's ok.
Also Chiyotairyu isn't doing very well on this tournament, most likely a rematch wouldn have changed anything.
> Hoshoryu and Tobizaru
It was a great move how Hoshoryu gained back his balance, Tobizaru missed slapping and pushing him in the last move, and with shoving Tobizaru out, he could save himself.

It does look similar.
