I think today might have been the first time I've noticed Atamifuji win in some way other than a yorikiri. (Looks like that's his winning method 50% of the time, which is definitely higher than most, but apparently I've just missed it the other 50% of the time. https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnSumoDataRikishi/profile/4055/)

It looked like Takayasu kind of backpedaled all the way out of the ring. Does he have an injury? He was doing amazing in the previous tournament.

I can't believe of the four main people I cheer for, Shishi is the only one to win! The man looks like he's in pain just being there tho, I bet he's got some kind of medical issue. And that win was almost by accident, it looks like Nishikigi tripped over himself.

Aonishiki... held his own against a sanyaku-level rikishi and it almost worked. But he just needs more experience. Wakatakakage definitely wasn't taking anything for granted tho.
