You're right Kintamayama, absolutely right. He did call the monoii.

But the more we talk about his "weird" behaviour as Oyakata (btw I always
prefered Wakanohana style when they were rikishi)  the more I do think
Takanohana is somebody very special, unique.
I dislike most of the changes he is suposed to want to initiate. But I still
admire the guy for his spiritual strenght. If something new must happen, he
will be involed in it.
Just 2 cents (of €) from an old lurker.
