Cool basho, lotsa fun bouts. The final result is not surprising.
I really wished if OHO did better but this is what it is, next time. I'm really glad for Fujinokawa however.
I wonder if the time of yokozunas winning big (14-1, 15-0) is over. Too much competition from rikishis with similar capabilities, or capabilities that can exploit certain weaknesses. Tho in theory both yokozunas were injured.
Well, congratulations, Pwnishiki!
Wakamotoharu was a good pick standard bearer. Disappointingly lack of BANZAI tho.
