Kirishima is like: "If I had a nickel everytime I won a yusho because Kotozakura eliminated my rival, I'll have two nickels but strange it happened twice."
Small correction: I believe this is Aonishiki's second tournament as ozeki, not his first. I really liked a bunch of the bouts today, as it still showed some wrestlers digging deep and using their strengths (Aonishiki, Kotozakura) to take advantage of their opponents' strategic errors.
Also, shame for Fujiryoga going make-koshi, but I am cheering for Fujinokawa and Fujiseiun.
Mostly that they were debut makuuchi fighters, but Fujinokawa is special in his bullheaded pursuit of fights. Fujiryoga is also pathologically aggressive with the slick hair that isn't in a chonmage. And Fujiseiun got super high rank for a debut guy and still pulled off a comfortable winning record. The fact these guys are named Fuji is more of a coincidence... I appreciate Atamifuji but do not love his fight style as much. (Yoshinofuji is still pretty fun even if he struggles a bit.)

Ah, yes, of course. Thanks for catching that. What is it about the Fujis that you like?
