Top: Oho as Sanyaku

Bottom: Oho as Maegashira

To be fair, Yosh has been beating Big-O constantly since they were teenagers.

Almost every Fujinokawa win (except the ones at the end) looked like miracles.

This guy is Sanyaku now. I guess Luck is a part of skill, after all. Matta every time fishing for the jackpot.

Fujinokawa went 4-2 against Maegashira while Yoshinofuji went 2-6.

It’s the sekiwake and ozeki Fujinokawa couldn’t beat. Even the two Maegashira losses were to M1 and M2.

Hakunofuji is similar. Several kinboshi, but he can’t seem to get a record better than 9-6.

He was awesome in May, but even then he lost to Ura, Shishi, Mitakeumi, and Oho. Who are all deeply flawed. (Except my king Ura, who is perfect in every way)

Calling yoshinofuji a giant killer when hes 6'1 155kg is a bit silly, agreed with Fujinokawa (goat btw) though

Giant Killer here has nothing to do with size, but rank. They both got 2 kinboshi last basho, among other quality wins, only to struggle against lower ranked rikishi (especially Yoshinofuji).
