The Natsu Basho 2026 just delivered one of the most unpredictable finales in sumo history — and nobody saw this champion coming. In this SumoSpirit breakdown, we cover the final day showdown between Kirishima and Wakatakakage, the two rikishi who turned the May 2026 grand sumo tournament in Tokyo into an edge-of-your-seat race for the Emperor's Cup. Who lifted the cup on sumo final day? Watch to find out. What made this sumo tournament 2026 unforgettable wasn't just the Kirishima vs Wakatakakage rivalry — it was the chaos around it. With yokozunas Hoshoryu and Onosato out injured, and Kotozakura also pulling out mid-basho, the entire yusho race shifted overnight. Kirishima fought as the lone ozeki standing, while Wakatakakage chased from komusubi with nothing to lose — the result was one of the most emotional sumo finals of the year.
