Here's September with the next tournament.
I have not read up about details such as injuries or covid. So just by looking at the banzuke I can't see many interesting things to mention.
Mitakeumi avoided to be relegated due to injury last time. So he is still ozeki, but he has to put himself there and perform to remain that.
We can hope the two younger sekiwakes, Wakatakakage and Hoshoryu will do good. But it is a lot of work still to reach the ozeki title.
Komusubi Kiribayama had two great tournaments before the last one, where he still pulled a positive balance. Maybe we can hope for a good show. He is pitched against Terunofuji in the first match.
I don't see any opponent facing Abi. Is he out for the tournament??
Two lightweights, Tobizaru and Midorifuji are ranked #1 among the Maegashira. Pretty good. I think they'll be removed.
In Juryo, have to watch for Hokuseiho. The tall guy.
