Day12 Juryo Kaisho is out too. Hilarious. Noone will appear on the last day, they'll run out of Rikishis. Enho went down. Aww shit. 5-7. He needs to win all the rest. Hokuseiho was on the offense throughout. 9-3. Easy win for Asanowaka against Kaisei. I don't think he really has the will anymore. He is old (not the oldest but still), maybe having health issues, I dunno. Akua just run out with Mitoryu, was kinda funny. Ryuden won. Hiradoumi tried, wasn't enough. So now Ryuden leads with 10-2. Hokuseiho is still a threat, but he is a newfag, Ryuden has the routine. 3 days left, it is unlikely that Ryuden will lose all, and an 8-4 will win all. Makuuchi Onosho, the locomotive. He decided to climb back in the rankings. Tochinoshin channeled Nishikifuji's momentum and pushed him out quick. Nicely done. Wow. Terutsuyosh got into trouble right at the behinning. Sadanoumi prevented the signature move leg grab, forces him down, then turned him back. Terutsuyoshi recovered from this, and had another chance. But Sadanoumi was just better. Tobizaru vs Ichinojo - one important bout of the day. The size differene is striking. Tobizaru had one chance, for a moment Ichinojo showed his side. Otherwise not much. 10-2 Ichonojo. Kiribayama handled Ura well. Hoshoryu vs Hokutofuji - A quick hurling around, and Hokutofuji was ready to be pushed out. Nice win Hoshoryu. This technique should have a name. Probably it has an official one. Abi done a short job on Wakamotoharu. The classic push upward first, then pull down as the other tries to move back down. Another important bout: Takakeisho vs Nishikigi, both 8-3. Takakeisho the other train engine. This was expected. Shodai saved his title. 8-4. Congrats. At the start of the tournament his form looked bleak. He recovered. Terunofuji vs. Daieisho. Daieisho had a good chance to win, the balance of their previous meetings was 7-5. But Teru needed to win, and did quick. 10-2. So the yokozuna is still head to head with Ichinojo. Only Takakeisho has a real chance now, beside those two. And not a bad chance to be honest. Teru's win aren't guaranteed. Which is good since that makes things more exciting. I remember in Forma 1 when always Schumacher won (and Baricello came in second) that was boring.
