Man. What a brutal tournament. By that I mean holy shit everyone at or near the top has been awful, or has had terrible luck. Credit to Kisenosato, I'm not a fan but he's the only one who stayed healthy and he delivered. But damn, so many poor performances. Perhaps the changing of the guard.
I love Kisenosato! This has been my happiest basho since I started watching. But I agree with you that this has felt like a big example of changing of the guard. There were some exciting stories to follow.
1). Ura about to go to makuuchi. Guy looks like Neo from the matrix. The most dynamic game I've personally ever seen in sumo. It looks like he is about to lose nearly every time and then "Nope, fuck you I win!"
2) Speaking of dynamic, I've never very even noticed Takekaze until this basho. He was flipping bitches left and right.
3) Kotoshigiku = sad
4) Ichinojou are you for real or not?
5) Ishiura what the hell was that?
