Kotozakura's 8 wins means he avoids kadoban, and that may be the best you can say about his Aki performance. He slipped up when he shouldn't in week one, then had a bad week two. He's as big and fundamentally sound as ever, but his inability to dominate consistently is more and more noticeable. By not putting his stamp on matches quickly, he makes them all that much harder. (He could absolutely pull out a yusho if the stars align, too.)
