Yes, the last 2 episodes of this season of American Ninja will be the Americans running in Sasuke 26. I'm so frustrated I can't even see straight.

I knew they were up to something. I just hope i don't accidently stumble across how the americans did before we see sasuke 26.

Well guess who ISN'T going to watch ANW2 and will be far away from the forums after it airs?
This could give hella spoilers, and I'd much rather see the americans run with everyone else, not by themselves.

Not to boast, but you gotta admit, I did predict this! I was very certain they would follow ANW1's format.
The shocking part is that for the first time ever, Sasuke (at least a portion) will air first in America. Sort of cool, but kind of sacreligious!
Thank heavens I don't know a lick of Japanese- if competitors like Levi are high up, it's possible that we'll know things like number of clears or even specific people who cleared.
Perhaps G4 managed to secure numbers 1-10 for the Americans? It's a long shot but it would make things a lot easier.

Well sometimes you hear stuff like the names of other competitors during someone's run, and that could certainly spoil some things. For example, if someone was watching ANW1 without first seeing and/or knowing the results of Sasuke 23 and heard right before Levi's attempt on the SCH heard the Japanese announcer saying "...Takahashi...Okuyama...", I'm pretty sure someone could at least assume that those 2 got that far unless they lack common sense.

I'm very torn if I want to watch or not. After having Sasuke 20 horrendously ruined, I've been very cautious with potential spoilers. Perhaps having the tv on mute would help... sort of a desperate measure, but it could solve problems?

Okay arsenette, I know you don't like spoilers but G4tv is actually doing something on schedule for once, relax! TBS pushed their airing date waaay back for hype purposes, making us wait, which is something sasuke 25 didn't do, so again the limitations make it cooler. Could be just me but I don't blame G4 for wanting to show something (that was filmed in AUGUST) half a month earlier than new years. Perhaps G4 managed to secure numbers 1-10 for the Americans? It's a long shot but it would make things a lot easier. lol Perhaps not. "It's a long shot" is very true indeed.

You know, this is a good point. Especially for viewers who don't have trouble putting Japanese sentences together that involve names, it could spoil other people who ran. Not that this is resolved in any way so it must be a pretty invisible flaw on G4's part.

Let's say it airs once a week on Wednesdays....
Dec 8. = 1st 2 episodes of tryouts Dec 15: 2nd 2 episodes of tryouts December 22: 2 episodes of semi-finals December 29: 2 episodes of the finals January 5th: American runs only on Sasuke 26th.
Meaning the Americans would run after Sasuke in Japan as long as they air it on the 1st 3rd or 4th like planned. The bitching and moaning can stop now. Unless ANW spoils the Japan course before the Americans run it.

They'll most likely cram every episode they've got into 2 weekends like last time. They have 8 weeks of footage which would make an incredible series, but G4 has never spread anything out in the past.

Each day = 2 episodes for a 10 episode series lasting 5 weeks. Sasuke 26 will air a day or 2 before this airs. That's my gut feeling.

I would rather a couple things happen. ANW2 show their normal airings. Hell there's a lot of people that want to see all of it.. especially the Final one week thing. I thought they had more than enough footage for that.
It's G4's fault they are waiting until March to air NW26. Given that they HAVE the footage to sift through to get the ANW2 competitors to insert into ANW2 they could just air friggin' NW26 intact.
My biggest frustration is because of what happens to everyone outside the USA. Frankly G4 doesn't give a crap about the Japan show anymore... it's just an accessory to ANW these days anyway but enough of that problem. Taiwan just balked and didn't buy Sasuke for Taiwan. No one else has bought NW23 yet .. you know the last grand disaster G4 did .. it was then that they decided to delete the ANW guys as if to propagate the propaganda that TBS/M9 allowed G4 to take the guys out there and run Sasuke by themselves. Remember all of those people who were confused that ANW10 and Sasuke 23 ran simultaneously? Well that's not sitting too well worldwide. IF anyone buys NW23 and on they will see how it's turned into a G4 show and little of Sasuke even remains. Thank goodness we can still see the original show because frankly G4 is done with the Sasuke license.. it's just a way for them to hash out ANW in it's wake. I just feel bad for the 100+ countries who don't want to buy this crap and don't have the money or resources to reedit the original 4 hour TBS broadcast.. /sigh.

And WTF is wrong with G4. I bet G4 has been asking itself that for years. Anyway when did they say it was march? They kept their mouth shut on me. Nothing they gave me several commercials only about ANW2! March is actually sooner than I thought. And just for your sake I'll cross my fingers to have G4 keep SASUKE 26 safe. No reversals, no typos. Make it easy for us to watch. There I'm on your side.

Whoever controls the G4 Twitter account told Arsenette March when she was wondering if they'd stick to ANW1's format of separating the Americans from the rest of the group. SIGH....come on G4. It's been how many years now? Get your heads out of your a**es. Being considered a cheaper version of Spike ISN'T a good thing!

This is bad. I really hope G4 doesnt take over. My short-term concern that really bothers me is that I will probably end up getting spoiled if the finale of ANW2 airs before Sasuke 26. For everyone including me who doesn't want to get spoiled, can we please please please follow the forum rules like madmen?

Having trouble wrapping my head around this. I don't mind the spoilers (I'm a total spoiler hound), but it bothers me a LOT to think that G4 could potentially air a chopped-up, half-assed version of Sasuke-with only ANW competitors-before TBS airs the real thing. That'll drive me nuts.

That'll drive me nuts. Well... In an American broadcast only theory, it's simple; Watch how the Americans did, then watch NW26 (everyone else) Watching s26 after you've already watched the ANW guys' runs however, really would suck. Final Keywords: Don't watch last half hour of ANW2...

Well I couldnt care less since I dont have G4!
Also, you are forgetting one thing... They might move it back even more. When I had G4 I remember them saying "Sasuke 22, coming in April!".... a month later... "All New episodes coming this May!"" ... a few weeks later... " June 22d! Stay tuned for the ALL NEW EPISODES OF NINJA WARRIAAAR!!"
