Things may have turned out better that way, yeah. It was just never going to happen because Hakuho is the goat with an ego to match. Shame he wasnโt as good at coaching as he was on the dohyo

Donโt get me wrong. Thereโs no excuse for Hakuhoโs negligence in allowing abuse to go on and trying to cover it up. He definitely deserved to be disciplined
But beating up your own disciples is worse imo
Itโs hard to tell whatโs really going on in the kyokai but I feel like Hakuho would have stayed if they gave him any kind of timeframe. Feeling like he was being strung along + having to work under a โlesserโ yok in Teru is a recipe for resentment, especially if Hakuho knew Teru behaved like this

Hakuho is looking incredibly justified in deciding to call it quits rather than learn โheya managementโ under Teru

My Haru 2026 KC picks
Hoshoryu - my dude
Kirishima - keep the ozeki train rolling (ugh, 2 more to go, forgot he was m2 in nov)
Fujinokawa - will he be out of his depth at m2? who cares heโs fun to watch
Ura - lowest rank in a while + hometown buff
Asanoyama - easy pick at this rank

Fujinokawa maybe smaller then most rikishi but he fights like a mad dog! Drawing Sumo every Sunday until I achieve my dream of seeing them in person.

Poor Atamifuji, guy gave it all he had. But at least Aonishiki gave him a fair fight unlike a certain incredibly young looking former ozekiโฆ
#sumospoilers
Aonishiki is really amazing. I donโt always cheer for him because he makes my man Hoshoryu look like a doofus but heโs really exciting to watch and is clearly Yokozuna material
I hope he gets promoted after March so he can stop hogging all the yushosโฆ
#sumospoilers
Kirishima broke the curse and finally had two 10+ win bashos in a row for the first time in two years!
Needless to say, he will have a shot at regaining ozeki in Osaka!
#sumospoilers
it really do be like that

Day 14a:
I was really curious to see this fight between Asakoryu and Fujinokawa with their very similar builds.
Part of me wondered if today was going to be Nishikigiโs last match as a sekitori, but he gave kazekeno an emphatic uwatenage to finish on 7-8
Should be safe fingers crossed
#sumospoilers
