Same... My initial reaction was "he's not ready" but after I realized he hasn't had a losing record since Sept 2021, and coupled with the last 2 bashos I think it was warranted. BUT the main reason it happened is they didn't want to be with out a yokozunaI'm not H's biggest fan, but happy for him, he really turned it on when it was time to.
Oh I didn’t realize he’d gone that long without a loosing record. That’s nothing to sneeze at in Sumo. For sure they just needed to fill the empty slot. Still glad Teru finally retired just for the sake of his health.Same...

Same, but I don't think there's anyone other than Onosato that could be that right now. The more I think about it the more Hoshoryu feels like the right choice right now.Not sure he’ll be the dominant presence a Yokozuna should be.
