It's a good sign that Teru did so well against both Daieisho and Onosho, styles that he usually has trouble against, he was actually 4-4 vs onosho before last night.
I am really loving this tournament, the guys that are supposed to be doing well are doing well, Asanoyama getting hurt sucked as he looked more confident that he had in a long time but there's good enough going on in the tourney to make up for it.
Kotonowaka is looking like a man in a mission, dude wants to spoil the mongolian threesome (sounds weird) going on at the top and he is looking like he might just do it. This guy needs to become ozeki.
Yeah there have been slips by the top three but they all have had the same amount and they seem to have it together now, I honestly do not know who is going to win this, Terunofuji, if I had to quantify it I'd say he isn't fighting at Yoko level, rather at a very good Ozeki level, who knows if we'll ever get the Yokozuna, indominable 14-0 only losing vs Hakuho level he used to have. Probably not as he is soon to retire. What's fun in this tourney is the other two ozeki are fighting at about the highest level they've ever fought and I think the three of them are on equal ground.
Then there's Koto, he might very well be fighting at Ozeki level in this tournament. I do not care who wins, every storyline would be fun.
Kiri gets yokozuna, would be awesome.
Hoshoryu beats his rival, blocks him from being yokozuna and goes on a run himself, allowing Kirishima to stop him from doing it next tournament, awesome as well.
Teru wins one more tournament, that's always great, especially if he retires after.
Kotonowaka spoils it for everyone on his way to becoming ozeki.
Good stuff!
