KUNOICHI, or the female version of SASUKE, has ran for 11 tournaments, even though there was an 8 year hiatus from 2009 to 2017.
But despite their being 11 tournaments, there have been some great ones and some clunkers.
What do you consider to be the Best KUNOICHI Tournament and the Worst KUNOICHI Tournament?
Here are my picks:
Best: KUNOICHI 3- Even though it wasn't a Kanzenseiha tournament, this was the breakout tournament for KUNOICHI. Having tried two times prior, resulting in only 5 Stage 1 clears, the producers modified the course once again to be easier. And it did prove that way, 14 competitors cleared Stage 1 with a further 9 clearing Stage 2. Three competitors were able to reach the Final Stage, but all timed out, with Yuko Mizuno coming heartbreakingly close, missing the button by one-eighth of a second. Honorable mentions go to KUNOICHI 4,6 and 9.
Worst: KUNOICHI 8- Where do I even begin with this fustercluck of a tournament? First off, a format change happened, where the 100 competitors are split into 25 groups of 4. But dear lord, the format gets very infuriating. A two minute Time Limit in Stage 1, where only the 2 fastest clears would be allowed for Stage 1, with a stupid Repechange if no one cleared Stage 1. Stage 2 is where my blood boiled even more. A 6 obstacle Stage 2 with at least some resemblance to KUNOICHI, but holy f*ck, A THREE AND HALF MINUTE TIME LIMIT?! And it was a time trial, where only the fastest 12 would progess. With only 5 clearing, Stage 3... was the f*cking HIGH JUMP!!! What in the holy name of Jesus was KUNOICHI thinking? And only the Top 3 would move on to the Final Stage, which was a two-part rock climb. And two total victories. I'm sorry, but this was the worst Kanzenseiha tournament in the history of SASUKE or any other SASUKE spin-off. The lone honorable mention would be KUNOICHI 7.
