Note that he doesn't  do any of the gloating  after a long  bout, as if he performed a miracle. He said himself, in his yusho  Q & A,  that he wants to perform as a yokozuna should - and I am paraphrasing.  He certainly is doing so and giving delight to the audience.  Also, his knees are ticking time bombs. His  bouts taking double the time they used to, seem to be indicative of his wanting not to re-injure them.

Does it mean that he knows he can beat most everybody alive, and just is waiting them out to crush them?  Does it mean he is losing it because he is getting older and has bad knees?  Does it mean his Oyakata is paying him by the second, and he makes more money this way?
