Day 13

Juryo
First bout, Kawazoe did good. He is also a tiny guy, bit heavier than Enho, from Makushita division. From Miyagino stable.
Atamifuji 11-2. Keeps up with Gonoyama and Ochiai.
Haha, Akua took Terutsuyoshi's antics on, throwing salt high. Not that large amount, but still, a good handful.
Roga got his 8th.
Oshoma vs Shimanoumi - breddy gud bout, great struggle. Latter won, 8th win.
Tohakuryu got henkad badly by Hideonumi. Or well, depending.
Azumaryu started out with a henka, then held up well, but lost in the end. His 11th loss.
Ochiai vs. Shonannoumi. Ochiai failed the first tachi-ai, but won the bout. At the end was funky, because Shonannoumi thought he already lost, but he wasn't out, so Ochi had to push him, and he fell hard. He might have felt it unnecessary, although it had to happen. 12-1!
Gonoyama vs. Shimazuumi. Gonoyama fell. Onto Shumazuumi. 12-1!


Makuuchi
Aoiyama vs Oho. Oho won his 9th against the big guy. Well Oho also big, but yeah.
Takayas is still injured. Not sure why he returned. Maybe finishing in the dohyo expands his career.
Kinbozan's meetings with the top guys don't work out for him much.
Tsurigisho vs Wakamotoharu. Tsu climbed high for this quick beating. Wharu threw him a slap at tachi-ai, then pulled him down by the arm.
Mita barely saved this.
Poor Hiradoumi. Hoshoryu +1.
Oooo. Kiribayama vs Hokuseiho. Hoshoryu figured out the big guy, we'll see if Kir can do it too. Long bout. Hokuseiho weighed on Kir, and managed to avoid tripping in his leg too. At the end, he went down in a successful tripping effort. Big fall. Kiribayama 11-2! He is ozeki it's sure as hell.
Meisei vs. Takakeisho. The ozeki needed his 8th and secured it with a lightning quick henka.
And the big match! Terunofuji vs Asanoyama. The balance of their previous meetings was 5-0. Whoa. Asa wen on the offense, Teru held himself, then directed Asa to the side and pushed him down by the arm. It looked relatively easy. Teru has problems with the smaller more mobile guys, like Daieisho.

So. Two more days, two more points.
In theory Asanoyama still has a chance. Tomorrow he faces Shodai, which should be straightforward but can never know with that one. Teru will meet Kiribayama. I don't expect it to be that easy win. So a possibility Asa gaining 1 and Tero not, placing the yusho in Asanoyama's reach. But then Kiribayama would equalize with Teru with 12 win. And then on the last day, both should lose and Asa win for playoffs.
If Teru wins tomorrow then it's decided, he will be the champion of this basho. Simple.
