We all know that yuuji hates the pressure of being number 100, plus he probably told inus or tbs to not give him 100 until he feels like he's ready to handle that number.

He can't control what number they give him... He's worked hard and who gives a crap if he has trouble lifting a wall? He's obviously not a heavy lifter. Jeez give him a break, he got further than you ever will

Ladders.... Rests.... Only 2 jumps per obstacle..... And locks in for the final jump? Def the easiest since 13. Okay just for my personal satisfaction and I'll go back to ignoring you LOL.. Who is it that you love so much that you are willing to throw under the bus to prop up? Because seriously.. it SHOULD be ANYONE who passed stage 1 in Sasuke 27. As for earning his spot he went through the toughest qualifer which is Sasuke Trials which sometimes didn't run and sometimes didn't send anyone at all because it's not a guaranteed spot like ANW is. Also explains why you hate Yuuji as well because he had to survive Sasuke Trials over a period of years. So you hate Asa, Kanno and Hashimoto as well? How about Nagano and all the Americans who also made the 3rd stage in Sasuke 27? Be consistent in your hate or you're being hypocritical. Anyway I already know the answer so don't bother. It would be easier if you stopped watching since this is no longer fun for you. It's annoying as all hell to hear you b**** about a tournament you stopped caring since Higuchi left.. no wait he as around for that... oh I don't even know anymore. Would save us all the headaches. I don't hate Yuuji, just don't want to see him win again. The easier his road to stage 4 is.... the sooner he'll win again. I don't like Ryo because everyone was gaga for him 21 and 25 for making it so far... 21 I'll give him a pass for since the flying chute is actually a really tough obstacle but he couldn't even beat a moderate stage 1 in 25. His small body is built for obstacles like the rolling escargot, and he shows no leg strength what so ever. I'm not impressed with him and don't believe stage 1 should be built so easy so guys like him get a walk to stage 2 and 3 because that's all he trains for. His hand size helps so much on the cliffhanger it's ridiculous. So yes, I root for the course to win. I want to see struggle on stage 3. But, there are a few I have a soft spot for, Shingo, Takeda, Nagano, Shunsuke, Kongu, and anybody new that doesn't train for the cliffhanger 5 times a week. I don't hate Asa or Kanno or Hashimoto. I like them for the most part. All the Americans and Nagano have proven themselves against tougher obstacles. Ryo can't lift a 66lb wall, it's pathetic. Blablabla some stuff about some director I don't care about.... It's still fun to watch my favorites compete. I don't want to watch Ryo on the final because he's good at stage 3 and he got there because stage 1 and 2 are too easy. "Us all", do people go to you and complain about me? Since when does anyone have to listen to my opinion? Now on you telling em to stop watching.... NO. Who made you queen of who can watch the damn show? Just because you worship this stuff doesn't make you any better than me. I have yet to break any of the ground rules on this site, and never will. That's not my intention. I just want to see competition, and it's not a competition on stage 1 because it's too easy.

Jeez give him a break, he got further than you ever will He can do 66 pullups in under 2 minutes but can't lift 66lbs? Maybe broaden your training Ryo. He got further than I ever will.... so? Critics critique movies, sports, and other events and get heard and recognition. I can do the same. He'll have to impress me and on this course it's almost impossible to impress me for him. Let's see him press the last wall like Kanno and maybe I'll see he trains for something other than the warped wall and stage 3.....

My last post talking to you since I finally found out the block button on this new version of proboards.
YOU are the type of person that frustrates the living hell out of me. Poor sportsmanship. A typical American fandom born after the Survivor show. The ones that cannot accept anything unless they tear everyone else around them so there's no one left to be a victor. Not because of your "opinion" but because of your blind hatred for people who are good. I lump you in the same category as Yamada who was so self absorbed in his own ego that he refused to accept Yuuji's first win and concocted some ridiculous story that he was cheating by using special shoes. He got called out for the little person he was and Yuuji came back and proved to him directly he wasn't a flash in the pan. I also lump you in the same category of those in Taiwan who hate Lee En Chi (or any version of his name) and send him death threats because they perceive him "stealing their spot" on the show. BOTH are viled in fandom for their narrow minded and hateful views based on nothing but arbitrary and uneducated viewpoints that are not shared with the rest of fandom. Something Sasuke is that Survivor isn't.. is sportsmanship. Something obvious you are oblivious about. You were supposed to hate the course.. not the people who run it. Anyway I'm done arguing with you. I did the mistake of unblocking you in the past. I won't do the same mistake again. You contribute nothing but vile and blind hatred for no reason other than to stroke your own ego.

Yeah that's old news from Sasuke 24.
Btw was checking out the other dogcatch videos that Ube linked (the ones with 2-3 videos of interviews with Producer Kikuno and Mr. Sasuke). One of the Kikuno videos shows a new obstacle before the Vertical Limit? I don't psychoanalyze the pics much and even for the brief second it just looked different. Might want to check that.

This is a personal opinion (and one I've shared more than once), but Sasuke 1-4 are some of my favorite tournaments. Why? 1) You didn't have to be an elite competitor just to have a shot at clearing the first stage. I loved the feeling that anyone who was pretty fit and determined had a good shot at the first stage. Now, it's a crapshoot for even the most elite competitors to clear. And forget about celebrities or Kunoichi Grand Champions having a chance at even clearing the second obstacle... The first stage needs to be at the point where competitors at the level of Rie Komiya and Wakky have a decent shot. I've used this example more than once, but I'd rather see someone struggling up the final obstacle with the 10-seconds-left klaxon blaring than see them plop in the water with 100+ seconds on the clock after a half rotation on some ridiculous, unpredictable obstacle. The producers (both past and present) have had this absurd fixation on trying to trip everyone up at the beginning of the course, rather than creating exciting run after exciting run. Sasuke 28 was one of the (or perhaps, THE) least exciting first stages ever. It started off boring and almost turned infuriating watching run after run after run after run end at the beginning of the course. The All-Stars, New-Stars, Okuyama, Lee, Kongu, etc. should be 2) Sasuke 1-4 had a fantastic second stage. In my opinion, these were some of the most intense and exciting runs from any stage from any Sasuke. There were few things more exciting than watching someone struggle through the Spider Walk and then try to scramble through the other 3 obstacles in 20 seconds sometimes wiping out and sometimes just slipping by. And even the best runs went down to the 10-second warning. Sasukes 5-6, 12-17, and 23 followed this low time limit style and they were by far the best second stages in my opinion. Sasuke is toughest obstacle course in the world and should stay that way. However, the producers are continually going about it all wrong. Let the ratings-boosting fit celebrities and fit "every-day" people have a decent shot and then knock them out with the second and third stages. I'm getting sick and tired of knowing that competitors at the level of Akira Omori and Kinnikun Nakayama (who once had great shots and were blasts to watch) have zero chance of even making a dent in the first stage. My $0.02

My $0.02 I understand how you feel, I really enjoy when "underdogs" clear too (I was so excited when Wakky cleared in 27). I love to see double digit clears. Then again, I did enjoy Sasuke 20 because even though there were only 3 clears, a lot of people got deep into the 1st stage.

You don't understand the spirit of Sasuke, Robby. Just because I want the course to win doesn't mean I don't understand sportsmanship. The course is supposed to get harder and in my opinion it hasn't. What's so wrong with it? I love Sasuke. Because I don't like a competitor or 2 I'm a bad guy here. It looks more and more like the argument against me is Sasuke isn't a sport and you shouldn't dislike someone with the same intentions of someone else trying to do the same thing, defeat the course at hand which they have no control over. Well it pains me to see a guy who can't lift less than half his bodyweight off the floor and over his head have a legit chance to beat "the toughest obstacle course" because stages are being built too easy. I don't think he's that good.

They on the other hand have no shot at stage 2. I like stages with time limits that make it an actual race against the clock, it's very exciting. I respect your opinion but the course should win a few tournaments in a row before someone wins again. Yuuji is going to win next tournament if there aren't changes again.
