Have they ever called for a rematch due to gyoji interference? I had to wonder after the Shodai/Tobizaru match.

It looks like Tochi is undergoing some sort of stem cell treatment for his wrecked body. According to his roughly translated post, it seems to be working too! Really hope it continues to deliver for him, he deserves a nice long retirement.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

They could eliminate it as an official rank and call it a return to older traditions or something to safe face.

There've been some changes to the tachiai: a new "get ready" phrase from the shinpan and a more tightly regulated requirement that all four rikishi hands are actually touching the dohyo before the bout begins. Despite the headline making it sound like the changes are only for amateur sumo, I believe they apply to professional-level sumo as well; am I reading it right?

For amateur sumo, a fresh start offers hope against time-wasting and gamesmanship

That's half the fun of watching the match. Drawing out the tachiai is part of the ritual!
