He's apparently doing Mae-zumo in November 2025.

For Aonishiki recently, he started at Jk and then lost a total of 4 matches over 6 basho on his way to Juryo, and somehow passed through Juryo in just 2 more tournaments to make Makuuchi after 8 basho.

Can Asahifuji (formerly Ochirsaikhan) make it through 6 consecutive basho without a loss on his way up the ranks?

Presuming all goes well, he would probably be:

If he wins fast enough that he makes it to Juryo by the November 2026 tournament, then he would sure have a tough time winning 15 in a row there, even if he is as good as an Ozeki.  But if his promotion ends up taking 3 rounds in Ms, maybe it's possible??

Resolves No as soon as he loses a match.  Including if he loses in Mae-zumo.

It appears he has already won his first Mae-zumo bout.
