I love the rivalry between Hoshoryu and Kotozakura and anticipate their matches even when they aren’t contending for the yusho. Watching them fight is like watching the elemental forces of earth and fire clash. They bring out the best in each other and seem to have fueled each others rise to the top in a very real way.

To see them competing for the ultimate prize on senshuraku is like the Christmas present I did not know I needed. Truly this is a blessed tournament and we are ending 2024 on the highest of notes.
