RyuTakayasu the Bear faces Gonoyama on Day 15. Takayasu missed most of week 1 with injury but has been on a tear since returning.
Here is the official final day highlight film from the Japan Sumo Association:
SUMO PRODIGY’S QUEST FOR INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT
"The Great Japanese Hope" is realized!
Onosato (12-3) is the first rikishi in decades to win a Yusho in his first Sanyaku ranked basho. He absorbed and redirected Abi (10-5)'s charge to send him out of the dohyo.
Kotozakura (11-4) turned his hips and threw Hoshoryu (10-5) by his arm.
Daiesho (11-4)'s third charge was the charm as he finally slapped down a stubborn Kotoshoho (8-7).
Kotozakura and Daiesho share the Jun Yusho.
Two mega fan favorites face off as Atamifuji (electric boogaloo) faces Ura's pink magic:

大相撲 豊昇龍ー欧勝馬＜令和６年五月場所１４日目＞SUMO
Young Onosato (11-3), is sole leader heading into Senshuraku! He smote Shonanoumi (9-5) straight off the tachiai.
Chasing are:
Evil villain Abi (10-4) improvised a pull and strike on Kotozakura (10-4) to knock the Ozeki from the lead.
Hoshoryu (10-4) executed a quick meet and move on Oshoma (9-5).
Daiesho's (10-4) hands were too fast for the Bear 🐻 (6-3-5).
Onosato must beat Abi tmrw to lock in the Yusho or we will have a playoff!
