he probably needs to win both given the number of promotion cases—it's not impossible to hold on with a 6-9 from M16, but not if there's a legit replacement

Not Aonishiki for move of the day? I know he gets plenty. Takayasu borrowing his uchimuso was also pretty sick

As good as he is, he is also 25. At that age, Hakuho just got his 15th yusho and was in the middle of a 7-yusho run. He maintained that level for another 5 years, getting to yusho 35 before he had to go kyujo. And then got 10 more in the twilight of his career.

13 basho to sekiwake for Aonishiki breaks the record of 14 held by Konishiki, so he *is* the fastest ever for anyone starting at the bottom (tsukedashi are a separate thing, I don't think anyone is touching Ichinojo's 5 basho)

Terunofuji too, right? Maybe at ex-Isegahama's kanreki? I remember Midorifuji having a blast as one of the "opponents"

I also feel like the small guys who outperform their weight tend to rely a lot on throws, trips, and the like, which wasn't his game. I can't think of someone who is small, with short reach, and is an oshi specialist

He's gotta be lighter than Enho now, tough to get past Makushita at that size regardless of skill level, no? I do think he got heavier than would have been optimal.
