mitakeumi began the hatsu tournament in january 2017 with a win over "ōzeki" gōeidō, and on day 2 he earned his first "kinboshi" (a "yokozuna" upset by a wrestler from the "maegashira" ranks) when he defeated harumafuji. he also defeated "yokozuna" kakuryū on day 4. he finished with 11 wins and was awarded a technique prize for his performance in this tournament. he returned to the "sanyaku" ranks in the march 2017 tournament at "komusubi", and came through with a winning record of 9–6. in may he defeated kakuryū on day 1 and harumafuji on day 11 (which was harumafuji's first loss in the tournament). he finished with an 8–7 record and received the outstanding performance award for the first time. he was promoted to "sekiwake" for the july 2017 tournament, the first wrestler from dewanoumi stable to achieve this since dewanohana in 1982. in this tournament he defeated "yokozuna" kisenosato on opening day, and tournament leader hakuhō on day 11, who was on a 25-match winning streak and hoping to equal the all-time career wins record of 1047. mitakeumi's only previous win over hakuhō had been by default when the "yokozuna" pulled out of the march 2017 tournament through injury. he ended the tournament with a 9–6 record and received a second consecutive outstanding performance award. in an interview immediately after the tournament he commented "i didn't think i would be able to win this award twice in a row so i am pleased. it was good that i was able to wrestle my brand of sumo at this tournament, win on the last day and also get a victory against hakuho". mitakeumi maintained his "sekiwake" rank in the september and november tournaments, and was the only top division wrestler to secure a majority of wins against losses in every tournament of 2017. in january 2018 he started well with seven straight wins but he recorded only one more win (over kakuryū) in the tournament. a 7–8 result in march saw him demoted to "komusubi" but he rebounded with 9 wins in may to return to "sekiwake".

as in the 2017 tournament, the 2018 tournament used the rugby union bonus points system common to other professional tournaments: "as well as the standard four points for a win or two for a draw, a team scoring four or more tries during a match will receive an additional league table point, as will a team losing by 7 or fewer points". "additionally, to ensure that a team winning all of its five matches (a grand slam) will also win the championship, three bonus points will be awarded for this achievement".
