But with him being there, could that mean that more Muscle Musical guys also competed? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm sure people with injured hands and wrists does well on an obstacle course.

Nakata's website said (I think) that he's looking forward to a break now that his summer appearances on Muscle Musical are done.

I do hope so! The Muscle Musical v. Sasuke AllStars thing is Maniac fodder for sure.

;D I agree that Takeda-san is due to win. However, if Yamamoto-san doesn't stop with his rushing. He won't clear.

I concur. He doesn't necessarily need to slow down per se, but he needs to be steadier.

I've noticed people who put the names in a western order have been using the japanese order for Takahashi Mitsuomi, Its Mitsuomi Takahashi if you want to put the name in a western order. Proof supersentai.com/database/2006_boukenger/cast.htmlAlthough I'll still be using the japanese order like I do with everyone else.

Yeah, I've always done the western order with names, but to each their own. I think Mitsuomi can make it farther this time if he can figure out the Halfpipe Attack. And maybe we can all feast on a Boukenger Sausage! But I'm looking for another Takahashi - Kenji in this case - to learn from his mistakes and do good this time.

Just looking over the TBS site for Sasuke 21 with Googel translation... it took me so long to realise 'FASUTOSUTEJIKURIA' was meant to be 'first stage clear', lol. I also like 'GASORINSUTANDOERIAMANEJA' (gasoline stand area manager, which I suppose should be gas station district manager).

I have given this whole prediction thing a lot of thought in recent days. Part of me says that 7-8 of the top competitors will ake it past the 1st and 2nd stage, where we will see them really have a good attempt at passing the tough 3rd stage (and maybe a couple of people make it to the end too). Part of me alos thinks that the course is too tough and very few, if any, competitors will make it to stage 2 or 3 as in previous competitions. I just want to see an exciting competition and of course Nagano defeat the final stage once again. That's not too much to ask for, is it? ;D

All I wish for is that no one gets seriously injured. I hope the competition will be good. We know it will be. We just have to sit on pins and needles waiting.

I predict that 100 competitors will make it to the first of the Sextuple Steps. I also predict that at least one of the competitors will wear orange pants and another will wear khakis.
Those are really the only certainties when it comes to Sasuke, and I think that's why I love it.

I remember there was this old guy who ran up to the platform, got scared and just fell in, lol. This was before the Sextuple Steps, it was one of those one-tournament obstacles like the Hurdle Jump or something.

I think that was in 15. I remember in 8 where some train conductor slipped and fell in before he hit the Quintuple Step.

Oh yeah. Forgot about him.
Another thing I like: laughing at those who screw up so badly. It's the inner sadist in all of us, I think. Or is that schadenfreude?
Either way, good times.
