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.</span>
