I think Onosato is still the favourite, based on the matches coming up.
My prediction, and we'll see how bang on I am, is that Aonishiki beats Hoshoryu, but loses to Onosato. And that Onosato wins both his matches with Aonishiki and Hoshoryu.
I am intrigued by Yoshinofuji, though. He's already fought all those guys, so he will be facing Kotozakura, Oho, Takanosho and then perhaps someone like Kirishima.

This day had some really cool highlights in Don Don Sumo's collection. Incredible to see Yoshinofuji having such strong performances to make the tournament more exciting. And Hiradoumi's henka looked rather slick, so I can't hate on it too much, especially after the henka that Waka pulled on Aonishiki.
There's been plenty to debate when it comes to the henka in this tournament. I'm generally fine with it. The internet will explode if Hoshoryu ever does it to Onosato, though. I think he half tried it in the play-off in September.
Good afternoon all, well what a turn around
Tim is always right and so far he’s been bang on the money
In my despair in my head I had more or less written Hoshoryu off !
I prayed hard in hope that Hoshoryu would pick up.and someone took notice because what a turnaround
My husband, despite not being the least bit interested, said this would be a four way split but he thought Aonishiki would ultimately win
I think it will be Onosato!
Tamawashi is looking tired, can he just keep going ?
Atamifuji is doing very well

HUH!
Certainly that would be a nail biter!

What a fun day. Good report and a nice gif offering too 😊.
From here I’m calling Hoshoryu as I feel Onosato has seemed just ‘off’ physically the past few days whilst H has become more focused.
I do have the sense that the moment (and momentum) has turned Hosh’s way… I like Tim’s prediction in the comment above too though…
Thanks again, Tim!!!
