With 13 wins in September, Shodai secured a yusho and a promotion to Ozeki. The knock on Shodai was always that his poor tachiai would doom him, but he's fixed that by either catching or standing up his opponent. He's 29 before the basho starts, so this is likely his peak sumo, but what a peak it looks like so far.
