New Year Basho starts on the 9th.
Should be interesting.
Terunofuji is still alone as yokozuna. Takakeisho has good winning ratio, only his injury prevented him racking up more points. He is very lopsided as used techniques go, but he is top notch in what does, and he keeps on pulling good performances maybe the elders decide to move him up next to Teru. Considering Teru is better at the hugging style, that would add a balance so to speak.
And there is Abi with similarly strong pushy-pushy game as Takakeisho, he is now ranked 6th Maegeshira I think, keeping up the winning streak he could get a named rank after this basho. Then who knows.
The top positions of the banzuke could be reshuffled, I'm very curious how Ura and Hoshoryu will perform. And there's a couple more strong rikishis I can't recall from the top of my head.
We'll see.
