As if there weren't enough reasons to be annoyed at the kenshu system. I feel like if the JSA is making them wait, their TD qualifications should *also* wait.
It's worth remembering that Terunofuji, himself, had this done to him by an Isegahama-oyakata. I don't remember the timing of the Magaki/Isegahama move vs. his new shikona, but it's certainly the same sort of idea.
