I can see why they would want to preserve that. Araki is more expendable, if he can't cut it a SS.

And from what I've heard, it's something that has actually been discussed for quite some time. If I’m not mistaken it has to do with Ibata’s arm and legs.

Not something you see very often. Is Ibata getting too old/slow? I know Ochiai wanted this last year and they switched back, never really saw any reasoning translated to english. Thanks Why does Ochiai keep pushing the Araki-Ibata switch?
