Takayasu is out due to his master corona infection. I think someone forgot to call off the quarantine orders now that everyone is vaccinated anyway xDDD
Hidenoumi is out due to shamefur dispray (getting caught gambling), as is Shiden (who previously went by his birth name Shiba. It was supposed to be his first basho in juryo.)

As for the guys to look out for? Mitakeumi and Takanosho were both 11-4 last time, if they continue like this now and in March, they're ozeki candidates. (Mitakeumi might already qualify if he goes 14-1 or something like that, but I guess that's unlikely)
Ura is at a career high ranking (!), M2E.
Oho is joining makuuchi at the very bottom, filling in the spot vacated by Asanoyama finally losing the ranking and stop clogging the chart. He's the first 2000-born rikishi in top division, if I'm not mistaken.
And we'll see if Abi can continue his run, or is he going to plateau back to where he left, in komusubi.
