Here's a story I been meaning to tell for some time:
Prior to sasuke 40, I was more than excited for Ryo's run. Hell, I found myself more excited for his run that Kane's return and the 4 grand champions competing.
His run comes up, and I sit there so excited!!! I tell myself that this is the run I been waiting for, expecting it to be Ryo's comeback!!!!
Then, he goes on to fail the rolling hill......

Exactly how I felt, it almost ruined tournament for me until Shingo clearing made it great again.

Exactly how I felt, it almost ruined tournament for me until Shingo clearing made it great again. Unfortunately had to edit this to remove the 41 spoiler (ridiculous I know). But yeah otherwise agreed. It didn't help that a couple of days before 40 aired, there was a fluff piece on Ryo from the YouTube channel with 'FINAL' in the title. Gets everyone's hopes up and then....... They also did vice versa with Kane. Basically showed him failing the Dragon Glider time after time in practice, and then he clears the real thing. I 100% bet that he probably cleared it a good number of times in practice but they selectively decided not to show those to make his clear in the tournament itself all the more hype. Ngl, it worked, because I remember everyone going on about how he was "going to ruin his streak" and most people predicting a Dragon Glider fail, only for him to surprise everyone and become the oldest clear in history up until that point. |

I had a similar experience in 33. I was super excited for Kanno's run in 33, convinced that he would make a great comeback after 32, and instead he managed to do his worst performance ever..

I had a similar experience in 33. I was super excited for Kanno's run in 33, convinced that he would make a great comeback after 32, and instead he managed to do his worst performance ever.. 33 generally had just a lot of underwhelming performances. Not particularly shocking or interesting, just underwhelming. Kongu and Shingo failing the same obstacles as they did in the last tournament, a lot of middling yet forgettable fails, Stage 2 just being a Salmon Ladder fail-fest of mainly noob celebrities, and a regressive Stage 3 due to the Flying Bar glitch. The only legitimately shocking fails for me were the Rolling Hill fails (Anastase, Kanno, and Yuuji). I also admittedly wasn't that excited for 33 (or 34) because at that point I knew that no matter what, the tournament was ending on the Cliffhanger+VLK combo. You don't really care as much when you know that there's zero tangible impact of someone failing early when there's a hard upper limit due to an obstacle being impossible. Hence none of the results, even the early fails, really mattered. They should've put the green resting bar in after 32; the fact that they made the combo even harder after Drew only made it halfway (especially considering the other half is impossible with the added fatigue) was ridiculous. |

I predict Nagano Makoto did it in SASUKE 41.
Guess what happened in SASUKE 41.
Spray.

I enjoyed Kane's run too much to care about Ryo failing. I then forgot all about Ryo's run once Shingo cleared. Two incredible moments which overshadowed anything in between.
