Hakkaku rijicho and YDC chief Yamauchi Masayuki (Professor Emeritus at the
University of Tokyo) both praised the content of the training and
Terunofuji's attitude during the session. They were watching intently from
start to finish. Hakkaku said, "It feels like he's getting back on track.
He just needs a little more time. He has 10 yushos under his belt, so he's
obviously good... He uses his left hand well. His weight is a factor. The
rest is the number of matches. Can he do that many training matches before
the tournament? If he stays active until the final day, it will put
pressure on the Ozeki camp. He's almost there." He commented that if
Terunofuji continues to make adjustments, he will be able to show his
strength and compete for the championship. Chairman Yamauchi said, "I felt
he has recovered more than I expected. He was giving advice to various
young wrestlers and Oonosato during the session. He is aware of his role as
a Yokozuna. I always look for that", praising him both inside and outside
the ring. He paid particular attention to Terunofuji giving advice to
Oonosato . "I felt that Terunofuji was aware of Oonosato being his
successor. I think he thinks that in the end, it is Oonosato who  will take
over from him in the future Even when he was facing Oonosato, he would say
things like, 'It was a shame' and 'He's strong.' I could hear it because i
was pretty close.. It seemed like he was sending a message to him." He also
said that he felt that Terunofuji had higher expectations of Oonosato's
future than from Kotozakura and Houshouryuu, who are both on a Yokozuna run
this coming basho basho.
