Day 10 saw tournament leaders Takayasu and Atamifuji meet (for the first time in their careers). The bout between the 33-year-old former ozeki and the 21-year-old making only his second makuuchi appearance was fascinating. And the winner is now in pole position to take the Emperor’s Cup (still some chasers who could have a say in that, though).
You can see who won and read my breakdown over on BloodyElbow now (link).
Ura vs. Takakeisho also delivered a ton of drama. I have a lot of gifs for that one over on BE. Other bouts that I really enjoyed included Shodai vs. Tamawashi, Kotoshoho vs. Oho and Mitakeumi vs. Gonoyama.
Bonus gif is Atamifuji’s warm-up before the Takayasu bout.
