A and C I am comparing them to ones I got from Toshio that were not good enough to go in to mud ponds and they were better . I t does make a diffrence as to size if they are going to go jumbo . If not price is a consideration and they should be under $250 each

two things wrong with D
no white in the back third, and a light orange left pec (which could change)

TOO MUCH IS WRONG WITH ALL THE OTHERS

the black on D will be awesome in three years..maybe two. Those Sanke markings are just the "tops' of bands of black..look at the middle of the head...BLACK.
the Shiro and the beni are pretty dang good...the black will come.

I have read that showa breeders look for all black on the first cull . The 8 tosai showa I got and raised to 4 year old showed no change in sumi . So even more confused with your explanation .
