RyanHOST
I think he needs two more, and then he's in the Sanyaku.
RyanHOST
With how Hakunofuji and Daisho, both of them are looking like they're heading out of Komosubi.
RyanHOST
We're going to have two open Komosubi spots.
RyanHOST
It's going to take a lot for somebody behind him to be able to jump ahead of him at this point.
RyanHOST
Likely two people would have to jump ahead of him for him to miss out
JakeHOST
on Komosubi.
JakeHOST
And we'll get to some other guys, but there's nobody that close to him that's comparable so far.
RyanHOST
Yeah.
ClaytonHOST
Good luck to him for the rest of the tournament.
ClaytonHOST
Dan, the rest of Sanyaku, Fujiyoga, he took on Komusubi Hakuno Fuji in a battle of the big lads.
ClaytonHOST
Look, I really expected a belt battle here, but it didn't turn out that way.
ClaytonHOST
It was a big clash at the touchy eye.
ClaytonHOST
Fujiyoga gets his hands up under the armpits of Hakuno Fuji, drives him back to the bales, then uses that armpit hole to thrust Hakuno Fuji over and down to the side.
ClaytonHOST
Oshite Oshie frontal pushdown win for Fujiyoga who has some confidence out of that first win for the tournament.
ClaytonHOST
1-2 Komusubi, sorry for Fujiyoga, Komusubi Hakano Fuji, he is winless after three days.
ClaytonHOST
Yoshino Fujii, he took an easy Oshidashi push-out loss to the Okinawan bulldozer, Churanumi, who easily drove him out.
ClaytonHOST
Yoshino Fujii was on the bails but recovers.
ClaytonHOST
grabbed fujinokawa by the arm tried to kotonage arm lock him but fujinokawa drove forward pushed yoshino fuji over the bails a good debut senyaku win yorakiri Hakanofuji, he debuted at Komusubi against Churanumi, the Okinawa bulldozer.
ClaytonHOST
It was a big head clash at the touchy eye.
ClaytonHOST
Churanumi, Hakanofuji I should say, drove his head in super hard and fast.
ClaytonHOST
Papayasu Takayasu he gets a jump to Megashira 2 on the back of an 11 and 4 pretty good tournament at Megashira 7 injury is the only thing holding Takayasu back at this time he did pull out of the Jungyo with a little bit of a niggle I think probably more of I think I'll have a rest before we get into the tournament so but he's already said he will be fighting in September.
ClaytonHOST
Disappointing was Yoshino Fuji, 6-9 on debut at Komusubi.
ClaytonHOST
He is capable of much better.
ClaytonHOST
On the upside, he did get wins over both Yokozunas and Aonishiki.
ClaytonHOST
That's a pretty good consolation prize as a Komusubi to be fair.
ClaytonHOST
He committed a pretty big tactical error trying to throw Kota Sakura on the belt.
ClaytonHOST
He did miss the belt and paid a heavy price against Kirishima for that one.
ChrisHOST
Should he be at Sekewake? That's a great question.
ChrisHOST
Going 8-7 at Makishiro 1 usually means a Komusubi trip, but I guess not this time.
ChrisHOST
And considering he went 7-8 at Makishiro last time, well, an 8-7 Makishiro 2 before that.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
ChrisHOST
He has deserved this for, I don't even know how long.
ChrisHOST
When he came screaming into the top division back in fact check, july of 2023 getting both a fighting spirit and technique prize on his debut with 11 and four but then instantly going out with injury just like two two tournaments back to back out falling back down to to uh division three and even on his way back up did have some issues again pulling out in may of 2024 while in jurio and took his sweet time to get back up to the first to the top division making only coming back in january of 2025 but since then he's been on a he's been on a decent run he's he got his form back with some back-to-back eight and sevens but he was all and also of course some some wins over yokozuna now with five kinboshis under his belt he did have a bit of delay though once he got to the top of the makashiro ranks going six and nine five eight and two and five six and four entering his left big toe and Well, the rest of his left foot in January and March, respectively.
ChrisHOST
But since then, he's come back in full form with 11-4 at Microsphere 10 and 9-6 at Microsphere 3 and now at Komusubi.
ChrisHOST
It is the highest rank he's ever been in his career and it is well overdue, but is this the right time? I think so, genuinely.
RyanHOST
Both of whom are making their Sanyaku debut.
RyanHOST
Fujinokawa, a little bit surprising to the Bansuke predictors, getting all the way up to Sekiwake after his 8-7 record from Maegashira 1 and Hakunofuji debuting in Sanyaku at Komosubi.
RyanHOST
Who do we think has the potential to stick around in Sanyaku beyond this Basho? I think both of
MacHOST
them.
20 MINS LATER
RyanHOST
Very violent pushing thrusting style that I find very enjoyable.
RyanHOST
So hopefully he is on the mend and can start going back up to Banske after this Basho.
RyanHOST
Uh, the other one I want to point out, Oho, uh, dropping all the way from Komosubi to Maegashira 10 after that two and 13 performance.
RyanHOST
Uh, so seemed like something clearly was wrong with Oho last time, but we do know he can have some fire in his belly once or twice a year.
