Nishikigi (32 = Ise no Umi), who leads the East Front, has been showing a good run with five consecutive wins since the first day. He stopped by Sekiwake’s Wakamoto Haru, who is about to be promoted to Ozeki, and extended his winning streak to 13 from the previous place. The winning team was Takayasu and Gonoyama, the new starter. With one loss, six people, including Daiei Sekiwake and Toyo Shoryu, who are ozeki tori, are chasing. Shin-Ozeki Kirishima was cut off by Shoenaru and had 1 win, 2 losses and 2 rests, including a bye on the first day.

I didn’t let the “leader candidate” do anything. Nishiki takes a sharp step and pulls his left front mawashi, and rushes forward with his right. He strongly approached the standing Wakamoto Haru. “I got off to a good start,” he praised himself. He won 13 consecutive wins from the match against Wakamoto Haru on the 8th day of the previous place, and laughed loudly, saying, “I thought it would start with Motoharu and end with Motoharu, but it didn’t end.”

Imabasho, who is headed by Higashi-Maegashira, who is the highest rank, continues to make good progress. On the first day, Shin-Ozeki Kirishima won a bye due to a break, and on the second day, he defeated Yokozuna Terunofuji and won Venus for the first time in four years. On the 3rd day, Toyoshoryu, on the 4th day, Sho Daiei, and on the 5th day, he defeated Wakamoto Haru and Ozeki Tori. Suddenly, it became the eye of the typhoon in Nagoya.

It took 10 years to become a sekitori after graduating from junior high school. He is a training insect who rarely takes a break, and he is the first to enter the ring on the tour and is respected by the sekitori. He catches the opponent’s powerful rush with his heavy hips, and seizes the chance to win with a dynamic approach that makes use of his large 185 cm and 180 kg physique. On the second day, when he defeated Terunofuji with a brilliant scoop throw, his superhuman strength shone.

If you win, you can see the new three roles in the required 103 places from the first ring. Aiming for the third fastest throw record in history, he earnestly appealed, “I want (three ozeki tori) to rise quickly. Because my frame will be available.” Expectations are high for him to win in a row, but he says, “I don’t really care,” laughing cheerfully.[Hirayama Range]
