The YDC (Yokozuna Deliberation Council)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokozuna_Deliberation_Council> convened
today and were full of admiration for Kirishima and his yusho. "If he
repeats this in the same fashion in January, we will suggest a promotion to
Yokozuna," said chairman Mr. Yamauchi. They did, however, criticize
Houshouryuu's tachiai (at first he was not named by name but in the end it
was admitted that this was aimed at Houshouryuu..) behavior with all the
stares and 90 second waiting on day 5 against Gounoyama. "Ugly" was the
word used, "He will surely be one of the contenders to become Yokozuna in
the future and it is very regrettable that he showed this kind of behavior.
I personally like him, but." said Mr. Yamauchi. "He's an Ozeki. This cannot
be. Watching it, it was unseemly," added Shibatayama Oyakata. "After day 5
when he was called to the offices and was admonished for his 90 second
stare-down tachiai, we expect the Oyakata will be guiding him in the right
direction," summed Mr. Yamauchi

As for Terunofuji, they expect him to enter January. "It is truly
unfortunate that the yokozuna was absent. We will watch his progress,
hoping he overcomes his health problems and will enter Hatsu basho. If he
doesn't show up it will be regrettable. If that happens, comments may
arise.." they said. When asked if he will be faced with one of the three
suggestions- "encouragement", "caution", or "intai-advice" - "We haven't
gone that far yet. No, it will probably be a statement of our general
feelings. We haven't decided anything yet. We'll have to see what happens
in January," summed the chairman.
