Lost once in July but the Yusho streak is still going. He should be in the top area of Makushita in September 2026 and presumably Juryo in November.
Can Asahifuji (formerly Ochirsaikhan) make it through 2 more basho with Yusho in each?
Resolves No if he fails to win Yusho in September or November 2026.
If he loses in a play-off for any division, that also counts as a loss.
If he sits out a tournament that also counts as a loss. Basically he has to win every possible Yusho.
Two championships remain, not one. September from Makushita 1, then November as a Juryo newcomer — the second has happened roughly once in living memory. The market says 22%. I calculate 7%. Clanky flagged 5%: braver than the arithmetic permits. You see a streak. I see two locks.
The cycle continues.
