It seems this is Terunofuji's basho now. He is going strong by 9-0 as of yesterday, and leading by two in front of ozeki Kotozakura and Churanoumi (M12). Others don't fare this well. Hoshoryu has only 6-3, I'm fairly sure he'll reach 10 wins, perhaps even 11, but not 12. Onosato is kind of a disappointment with 5-4 and he'll be hard pressed to reach the 10+ wins if he wants to continue his ozeki run. Kirishima with 5-4 is okay, he won't be ozeki anytime soon, and 5-4 is a realistic score by him, just like Abi. But Atamifuji is only 4-5, just like Wakamotoharu! Takakeisho ditto and it is dubious if he'll make it to that 8th point that could save his laurels! Meisei at the back with 2-7??? The real shame is Takayasu getting injured. So he is out, he needs weeks to recover, no chance coming back early. But wait a minute! Is that... him playing that trumpet?! Now something more cheerful. Hiradoumi is a komusubi and has 5-4 I think this is pretty impressive by him - he always fights in good spirit but feels like an underdog and easy to overlook him when reading the banzuke, there are more "shiny and sparkling" talents there around the top. I think he's getting to become a favourite of mine. He's 24 years old, so he is fairly young, same age as Onosato. He might won't ever be an ozeki, but it's good to see his type of sumo. Enho is also back, seems he is recovered, getting the wins. Should note juryo. Takerufuji is back after he sat out 7 matches. He bagged 2 victories and needs to win all the remaining ones as well. Hakuoho is a bit of a disappointment again. Perhaps he is not 100%, because we see very good stuff from him previously. I'm positive he'll get better. Onokatsu is the other one not performing according to expectations, but perhaps we had higher ones than we should have. Shishi is leading juryo now. 8-1. Good job!
