Hakuho put Estonian ozeki slayer Baruto in his place and Asashoryu also showed no signs of letting up as both Mongolian yokozuna nailed commanding fifth wins at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Thursday.
Hakuho, Asashoryu, ozeki Kotomitsuki and Kotooshu and rank-and-filers Masatsukasa and Kakuryu share the lead with perfect 5-0 records in the 15-day meet at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
Baruto (3-2) came into Thursday's final bout looking to rewrite the script again after scoring his third consecutive ozeki scalp with victory over Kaio the previous day.
