Inui confirmed the dates for Sasuke Vietnam with a call to the Japanese to send applications to be included in the Japan team! TBS is sending a team to Vietnam's season 2! Here's the tweet confirming (at least the taping of the special) for January 6-11, 2016 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Edit: Trailer for Season 2 with information on trials is up! I think application deadline is November 5th Trials dates? (Someone who can understand Vietnamese please help with these dates?) Dates listed on the video: November 21-22 November 28-29 November 14-15 January 3, 2016 January 5-8 (Team competion?) January 12-15 January 17-18 Edit: Wrote blog on Indonesia and Vietnam.

I think the dates in November are trials held at Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh while the dates in January 2016 is the taping of the stages. Wait, I think they also mentioned the time of the trials.

Yeah I figured as much. I think the dates thing seems (at least from Inui's tweet) that they do the international competition.. first? Then the main show? I'm still confused about the January dates stretching 2 full weeks and the international comp being taped first. Usually it's reversed.

I'm still confused about the January dates stretching 2 full weeks and the international comp being taped first. Usually it's reversed. This makes a little bit of sense based on Season 1, since Ryu was present at opening ceremonies. I very much doubt that he would ahve stayed the full 2 weeks are left and returned again. If that is too, then that must have been really bittersweet for some competitors. Especially Vo Pham Hoang An who completed Stage 2 in the International Special but failed on the main show.

Hopefully they invite some Vietnamese competitors to SASUKE 32, that would be an awesome prize for the winners!

For those curious, I asked if USA was allowed to compete and I got the following message on their Facebook Page.
["on the day 01.03.2016. in the city of Thu Dau Mot, Binh Duong province. season 2 Sasuke - Unlimited Vietnam will begin. The finals take place from 5 / 1-18 / 1/2016. if there is opportunity to invite you to join us"]
I proceeded to ask if there were any paperwork to fill out and I was given a text application with the E-mail to send the application to.
I submitted a USA application to this show but i haven't heard back yet for the international team. (I even got my bill of health from the Ninja Doc ^^). ((Application was sent Nov23))
If anyone could help me out to check on the status of my application, it'd be greatly appreciated. I feel that there's a language barrier that would be easier to cross for anyone who's fluent.

Can you pm me your name, I will try to check.

They update their YouTube with a new trailer:
If the "4" is correct, did they move it to April, 2016? I obviously don't know Vietnamese so I'm only guessing because of the 4.

I live in Vietnam and went to the 4th pre-qualifying date (January, 2015) in Binh Duong, and unfortunately there was nothing set up for Sasuke there. No signage, nothing on the website, and there were just a bunch of confused athletes looking for answers. A couple of days later, the website was changed to reflect that the 4th pre-qualifying date in Binh Duong would take place in April 2016.
I'm still planning on being back there in April, and hopefully it'll actually happen then!

It's too bad that many athletes showed up not knowing about the delays.

The organizer is very unprofessional. I tried to ask them about chrisketchum1's application. I sent them an email, 1 week later: no reply, so I sent them another email, still no answer; I sent them a message on their official FB page: still no reply; I called directly to them TWICE: no one picked up. So I couldn't contact them whatsoever, and I'm Vietnamese. What the hell. And VTV is Vietnam's National TV. I mean, really, it's so disappointing.

It was odd because it was all ships ahead at one point and even Inui (Sasuke Director) was booked to fly out to Vietnam when all of a sudden he posted.. "They postponed.. I think they moved it to April.. I don't know". So yeah.. something must have fell through. Probably sponsors? That is the most likely scenerio. That said, having zero communication is definitely unprofessional. I'm sorry all of you went through that. Agreed that it was horrible that all of you took time out of your day to show up some place and they didn't have the courtesy to tell you it was for nothing. I'd be furious.
