I'm not sure there's really an issue with the 3rd fish as it could be a ripple in the water causing the distorted look. Sanke, maybe!?!
The next one appears to have an Asagi/Goshiki gray ground throughout, and the sumi in the fins screams Sanke, so I would "guess" Goshiki Sanke.
The last is simply a poor quality Showa. Sometimes, fish of this quality level are harder to read as there are too many varietal lines being crossed. Whether that 3rd one is a Sanke is quite questionable as there is an awful lot of gray ground under the skin.

BTW, after seeing all your different threads, you say the pond is 10k in size. What are the dimensions and what type of filtration do you have? Is this a new pond? If so, you might want to STOP buying a bunch of fish all at once and give the system a chance to mature, bio filter wise.

Thank you for all the replies - just a ripple in the water - but looking at the pics they weren't the best quality sorry about that i couldn't fine my blue bowl. @ koi man mike - 25x35 irregular with its step at 18 " large center area garage goes 24-30" since it is irregular it it between 8-10k - it's been running for 5 weeks. I live in OC California so warm weather. Koi are all in quarentine takes since February i have been introducing aprox. 10 fish at a time every 10 days or so checking all levels 2-3 times a day, they are all 6-8" or so.
Details- ultimate filter2 ( 20,000) since they are rated incorrectly, that is the first filter then it goes into a " home made" blue barrel with media pads etc- then into waterfall basin witch also has midair pads lol. Skimmer with media pads and bio balls - 3/4 hp artisan pump. Bottom drain with 4 jets for circulation - i also have a location in the pond if i need more to drop a large sub pump to get flow / oxygen . Also a large uv light in there .
This is not my best of ponds but it is at my personal residence def. my largest and i didn't want show koi just some nice Japanese color. I just started my secondary pond on my residence which will be 8x10 x 4' deep.
Thoughts. Changes .
Ohh ya the large ones were going to be thrown away ... I couldn't say no .." Gift " as i call them
