Kanno seems to be a bit more showy though than even Urushihara on Social media and he even showed up on one of Inui's other television shows. Agreed that Shingo being there is awesome. It's still the All-star element but introducing the new guys to the American audience. Must remember that NBC hasn't showed Sasuke at all and G4 hasn't done jack in 3 years so the new audience doesn't know who these guys are. Especially Morimoto. Kanno is basically Yamada 2.0 (been saying that for a couple of years) and Asa is just perfect for television with him being all emotionally unglued all the time. LOL I do find it strange that Yuuji hasn't made himself available though of late. He's been invited to just about everything but always found ways around going. Even the ASEAN. Possibly he still has a bad feeling from what happened last year when he choked?

I was thinking the same thing! Kanno or leave as is. I'm just happy Shingo gets a chance to redeem himself. ^^

Shingo, could you get your whole face in the picture, even if you're taking it? Dork. It might be possible to remind folks who Morimoto is, because he does have a Sasuke history that US fans did see (and the rest folks saw last year in Vegas). As for Yuuji, there could be RL stuff that's just keeping him from going that he hasn't wanted to talk about publicly, perhaps. (Side note: I do like that Emiko commented on the picture of her honey. At least, unlike Yamada 1.0, Yamada 2.0 is at least trying to do right in some respects for his family and be a good dad, we do have to remember that, even if AFAIK he still hasn't gotten a real job.)

To my knowledge, the jewelry business is really taking off. For those unaware, Kanno and Emiko got married after SASUKE 29 and recently had their first child.

He only sells a couple pieces a month though so it's not a real job. Even according to Sasuke's broadcast his title is "self proclaimed silver jewelry designer". He's branching off but still hasn't made a dent yet to have that as a "job" yet. He still does janitor work to pay the bills.

What happened to the whole "I'll marry her when I achieve kanzenseiha" thing?

Hopefully Kanno won't make the mistake of alienating his family like Yamada did.

Without specific spoils, Team USA retained two members and had two new ones. Spoiler Team Europe, of course, was the big surprise. Tim Sheiff was a boss for them.

Ready for some results? Team USA, Team Japan, and Team Europe.
Team USA = Brian Arnold, Paul Kasemir, Travis Rosen, Joe Moravsky, Elet Hall
Team Japan = Yusuke Morimoto, Hitoshi Kanno, Kazuma Asa, Hitoshi Kanno, Ryo Matachi
Team Europe = Miska Sutela, Tim Shieff, 2 world champ rock climbers, and someone else
Everyone ran in heats of 3. 3 heats per stage. in Stage 1 winning a heat = 1 point, Stage 2 = 2, and so on
Miska failed the Warped Wall, and didn't get to run Stage 3 for some reason :/
4 Stage 3 clears = 2 Japan, 1 USA, 1 Europe. Don't know who.
Went to a tiebreaker. Dunno who won

Awesome, thanks. Btw, Spoiler You accidentally listed Kanno twice. I think you meant to list Shingo one of those times.

If I had to guess..... Morimoto, Ryo, Brian Arnold and one of the world champ rock climbers cleared stage 3. Just wanted to guess before I saw it.
