As far as I understand the regulations a 2nd place in Japan is also enough for Pajari to clinch the title, even if Rossel wins CER.
Assuming exactly this happens, both would have 3x1st, 2x2nd, 1x3rd place making up for 126 points from 6 point scoring events. Rossels 5th place in Portugal wouldn't be considered at all. Pajari would win the championship because he has beaten Rossel twice with wins in Sardegna and Acropolis in his 3 events where he was directly battling Rossel.
I.e. if Rossel wins CER he most probably needs Gryazin and Greensmith beating Pajari in Japan or more likely Pajari to get problems or crash.

Well, dirtfish says the opposite

«* a win would be needed for Pajari to claim the crown should Rossel top CER.*»
Well, you may be right but I find the regulation not totally clear.
Let’s hope we won’t have this situation.

So basicaly since Gryazin have two more outings he could also be there to help. This battle will be interesting for sure till the end.

And we won't have this situation, because Rossel made his first mistake already on SS2. And then another one on SS9. Here's WRC2 summary from day 1 and day 2:

Rossel is now 12th in WRC2 with a 15-minute loss.

Well, it was already almost over after yesterday but now, it’s official
So situation is:
- If Pajari 1st or 2nd in Japan, he clinches the title
- Else Solberg wins (in case Pajari finishes 3rd, they would have the same amount but Solberg has the tiebreaker)
Considering Solberg’s behavior these last few months, I would clearly prefer Pajari to win… but I hope there will be a proper fight so at least two good drivers against him in Japan so that he has to fight at least a bit for 2nd position.
Greensmith will be in Japan as he said himself.
Gryazin highly probably also (even if Rossel not anymore in contention) for the Challenger title
Maybe Toksport will also bring someone else with Greensmith.
