I actually dont think it effected Kakuryus performance this basho. The man died of pancreatic cancer, so he was sick for a very long time.
No doubt Kakuryu had a heavy heart, but I would think he would try even harder, to win the last one for his coach.
I think Kakuryu legitimately just got injured

I think that the first Kinboshi that Kakuryu gave this basho was *very* earned. Both fought very well. But I do believe that it was then that he got injured, as the next two fights ( both Kinboshis ) he... did not look well.
Yes, he was probably saddened that his stablemaster died. But that making him not do his best? I doubt it. Like was said - pancreatic cancer, so it was not a surprise.

RIP.

My condolences to Izutsu Oyakata’s family and stable members.
Who will take over the running of the stable? He must have a successor if the nature of his illness was known to him.

Sad. I think its time this tradition of drinking your weight in beer everyday to put on mass needs to be done away with. Alcohol is a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

And you posted this twice. Actually, it’s been Reddit screwing up all over causing multiposts today.

This may explain Kakuryu's unfocused performance this basho
My thoughts exactly. Also thought this has something to do with his withdrawal.
