Translation from Natto's shitcord:
Terunofuji
The Yokozuna has taken his leave mid-basho for the second time in a row. But given that he was absent for three basho, then got the yusho, then for four basho, then yusho again, the YDC decided to take a "wait and see" stance.
"It's a shame he had to leave in mid-basho, but we also value his effort to participate and his sense of responsibility".
They are saying they'll be watching the progress of his healing and return to the dohyo until after Nagoya, or possibly Aki, and then decide. "It's absolutely not a situation for one of our official decisions (encouragement, warning, recommendation to retire). Chairman Yamauchi declined to say what happens after Aki. "The situation will become clearer. We believe Terunofuji, who has a great sense of responsibility, will make his own judgments."
Onosato
About the 23 years old Komusubi winning the yusho within 7 basho from his hatsu-dohyo, he said "I think it's a sign that the World of Sumo is about to undergo a significant change. He is going to become Ozeki eventually, and I have hopes for the speed at which this takes place.
State of the sumo
Asked about the fact that for two basho in a row, newcomers have grabbed the silverware, he says "I wouldn't call it a collapse of the banzuke, but I can't deny that the banzuke has become fluid. If the top rungs don't stand up and block the way, the banzuke is only a ranking in name, not in reality."
