I personally like to wait a few days before I start guessing potential winners, but just so this post has something to say, at the very least I think
- Kirishima will remain as Ozeki, seeing his win yesterday, and maybe even be a runner-up.
- Takakeisho will probably have a hard time this tournament, as his performance seemed to lack his usual energy, probably because he didn't have as much time to practice in the last few months, because of his injuries.
- Hoshoryu will have 10 or more wins.
- Asanoyama will probably be a runner-up and be promoted either to Komosubi, or striaght to Sekiwake if more than two of those drop out, or he wins.
- Mitakeumi will be kachi-koshi, there is no way he can't be when he is already this low in rankings.
