Aonishiki wins the tournament despite having difficulty even going to the toilet. His stablemaster, Ajigawa Oyakata, said, "I was thinking about when to stop him," referring to his limping condition.

Ukrainian-born Sekiwake Ansei Nishiki (22) = Ajigawa stable = won the championship-deciding Tomoe match, securing his third championship title in three tournaments with a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. Although he lost to Sekiwake Atami Fuji (23) = Isegahama stable = in the main bout, he won two consecutive matches against Atami Fuji and Ozeki Kirishima (30) = Otowayama stable = in the Tomoe match, and held the Emperor's Cup with overwhelming emotion. He fought against pain in his left leg and with an indomitable fighting spirit to return to the rank of Ozeki. Winning the championship in the same tournament in which he secured his return to Ozeki rank is a first.

Amid thunderous applause celebrating his third championship, Ansei Nishiki stepped off the sumo ring, savoring the moment. He entered the final day as the sole leader, but was defeated in the main bout by Atami Fuji, who was one win behind. Looking ahead to the championship decider against Kirishima and Atami Fuji, who were both tied with three losses, he quickly shifted his focus, saying, "I'll do my best so I have no regrets. I'm determined to perform my own style of sumo."

He showed no signs of being shaken. He forced Atami Fuji out of the ring to put him in check. Against the next opponent, Kirishima, he locked heads close, and when his opponent tried to hold on with his upper body, he threw him down with an outer leg trip, and finally forced him out of the ring even though he himself fell to the ground.
 He rose from the humiliation. He missed the entire last tournament, where he was in danger of demotion, due to a left ankle injury. He had been exploring the possibility of returning midway through the tournament, but ultimately accepted the decision of his stablemaster, Yasujigawa Oyakata (former Sekiwake Aminishiki), who said, "I can't push him too hard," and was demoted from Ozeki. "I felt strongly that I wasn't the kind of person who would end things here after falling to Sekiwake." He transformed his frustration into strength.

On the 11th day of this tournament, he secured his 10th win and his return to the rank of Ozeki. But he wasn't satisfied with that. Riding on that momentum, he won the Emperor's Cup in the first tournament since his return to Ozeki under the current system. After deciding to take the entire May Summer Tournament off, he kept the promise he made with his master to "aim for the championship next tournament, not just 10 wins."
 During this tournament, he had been worried about his left ankle, and on the eighth day, he also injured his left big toe. In the middle of the night, he couldn't even walk to go to the toilet. His stablemaster, who saw him limping at the lodgings, said, "He really endured a lot. He wasn't in a condition to wrestle, and I was thinking about when to stop him." Furthermore, the strain also put on his right foot, which had been injured before, and he said he felt his disciple's determination when he saw him taped up that day, and praised him, saying, "He's been aiming for the championship all this time, and this is the best he could do."
 The moment of victory, the clock had struck past 6 PM. He had competed in a total of three sumo bouts in one day. It was one of the most intense battles in recent years. The proceedings were delayed, leaving him with little time to adjust his topknot, and he headed to the awards ceremony with disheveled hair. "(This process) was an experience I had to go through. Doing it makes me even stronger. I will continue to wrestle patiently, like Yasuo Nishiki, and aim for the top rank again." The 22-year-old from Ukraine has once again set his sights on becoming a Yokozuna. (Kenta Onishi)

Two emergency surgeries totaling five hours following a 1-2 hour delay. "It would have been dangerous if it had been delayed by another 1-2 hours." Long-term absence possible

was decided on the 6th that sumo wrestler Wakatakakage (31), a sekiwake, will be absent from the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament (starting on the 12th at IG Arena). This was announced by his stablemaster, Arashio Oyakata (former Makuuchi wrestler Sokokurai). After winning his second championship in the last tournament, he was expected to solidify his position for promotion to Ozeki in this tournament, but he injured his left thigh during practice on the 1st. He was diagnosed with "compartment syndrome," which causes nerve paralysis due to circulatory problems, and because there was a risk of necrosis, he underwent emergency surgery and is currently still hospitalized. There is no prospect of his return, and there is a possibility of a long-term absence.

The reigning champion has been struck by misfortune. His stablemaster, Arashio Oyakata, spoke to reporters after morning practice at the stable's lodgings in Nakagawa Ward, Nagoya City, and explained the current situation of Wakatakakage, who had not been seen at practice since the 2nd. Wakatakakage is hospitalized after undergoing surgery on his left thigh and said, "Nagoya is out of the question. It's a serious injury, so we want him to focus on treatment first," and it has been decided that he will be absent from the Nagoya tournament.

The problem occurred on the 1st when he was training at the Sadogatake stable. He complained of discomfort in his left leg and cut short his practice session. Initially, he was able to walk on his own, but around noon when he returned to the stable, he complained of pain in the bath, and around 3 p.m., he experienced severe pain and vomiting, so he was taken to a hospital in the city by ambulance. He was diagnosed with "femoral compartment syndrome" and underwent emergency surgery immediately.

After a surgery lasting approximately three hours, bleeding became uncontrollable in the middle of the night, requiring a second surgery in the early morning, which lasted another two hours. He remained in the intensive care unit until the 4th, but has now been moved to a general ward and his condition is stable. The doctors' quick decision proved successful, but the left thigh that was operated on remains open, and he is scheduled to undergo several more suturing surgeries from the 7th onward. There is currently no prospect of him being discharged.
 Compartment syndrome is a circulatory disorder caused by trauma or other factors that leads to nerve paralysis. According to stablemaster Arashio, it is a rare condition, occurring in only one or two cases per 100,000 people. The affected area is mostly the calf, with the thigh being unusual. If treatment is delayed, there is a risk of muscle and tissue necrosis and functional impairment, and he testified that "(the doctor) told me it was a race against time. If the surgery had been delayed by another one or two hours, it would have been dangerous."

Wakatakakage won the playoff against Ozeki Kirishima with a 12-3 record in the last tournament as a Komusubi, securing his second Emperor's Cup in 25 tournaments. The benchmark for promotion to Ozeki is "33 wins in the last three tournaments in the Sanyaku ranks." In this tournament, where he returned to Sekiwake after five tournaments, he was aiming to solidify his footing towards his long-awaited promotion to Ozeki, but not only has he returned to square one, there is now a possibility that he may face a long-term absence.
 Cases of this condition are limited in the sumo world, and a difficult road to recovery is expected. While this could be considered a crisis for his sumo career, he reportedly told his stablemaster over the phone, "I will focus on treatment and do my best," expressing his determination to make a comeback. This indomitable 31-year-old, who fell from the rank of Sekiwake to the lower divisions due to a serious right knee injury, has risen again. Can he overcome this ordeal once more and perform a miracle? (Naofumi Hayashi)
