D’AWWW! 🤗 Aonishiki Gets his yūshō cake, and can eat it, too (ōzeki status re-earned) and spoon-fed from his own shishō/stablemaster, the beloved former Aminishiki #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 M6 Shōdai 4-10 (L) M16 Daiseizan 6-8 (R) So back to mid-makuuchi bout from yesterday. Are we back to flipping coins with Shōdai? 🤗 This is their first face off #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 SPOILER Yūshō interview - Ao was cool as a cucumber in his interview. Said when he took out Kiri his first thought was “I made it through”, and also said the vexing frustration of losing his ōzeki status helped fuel his drive to make this comeback #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 playoff bout 3Oz Kirishima (L) Oz Kirishima (L) Sw Aonishiki (R) SPOILER: After falling to Atami in regular bout, Ao found a way to beat him in their playoff (I didn’t think he could do it) and now if he beats Kiri, Ao takes his 3rd yūshō. AND if not we go around yet again #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 playoff bout 2 Sw Atamifuji Sw Aonishiki SPOILER: Atami dispatched Kiri quickly, and he did the same with Ao in their regular bout to set up this playoff. If Atami wins he gets his first ever yūshō after a few close calls. If Ao wins we go around again #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 playoff! Sw Atamifuji (L) Oz Kirishima (R) In tomoe-sen - three man playoff, they draw for which two go first and then which ever man wins a bout twice in a row takes the yūshō #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 Sw Kotoshōhō 6-8 (L) Yz Ōnosato 8-6 (R) The final regular bout has no effect on the outcome but let’s hope they give us a bout to remember #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 Oz Kirishima 11-3 (L) Oz Kotozakura 8-6 (R) Ōzeki battle - SPOILER- if Kiri wins he joins Atami and Ao in a Tomoe-sen (3 man playoff) Kiri has a sizable matchup lead on Zakura #nagoyabasho2026

Day15 Sw Atamifuji 11-3 (L) Sw Aonishiki 12-2 (R) Here we go, if injured yet still a force to be reckoned with Aonishiki wins he takes his 3rd yūshō outright! If not, we wait #nagoyabasho2026
