Kanzenseiha? 200 million yen prize?

[scnoi1217]

Checking the offical page for Sasuke 23:
www.tbs.co.jp/program/sasuke20090927.html

Reading the translation, here's the line I'm talking about:

完全制覇（賞金200万円）を目指す

Completely won award (¥ 200 million) aimed at.

200 million yen? Which converts to $2,188,183.

Is this correct?

[RiderLeangle]

If they raised it that high.. What did they do to stages 2, 3 and final?

[arsenette]

Ube corrected me:

the kanji 万 (man) means 10,000
2万 is 20000
20万 is 200000

So it's still 2 million Yen.

[TCM]

Whoa, 200 Million? Their version of Millionaore was around like 20% of that (I think don't quote me exactly) being only 10 million. Either something's changed drastically, or a Sasuke 24 is looking bleak.

[lostinube]

Er..what arsenette said I said.

[scnoi1217]

Damn google translate...
Thanks Ube and Arsenette

[arsenette]

LMFAO thanks Ube LOL you didn't have to delete it I just cut and paste from chat I was just as confused.. besides.. I suck at math and math in another language might as well make my head explode

I guess it's like saying a grand (meaning 1 thousand).. so if someone said 1000 grand.. it's actually 1 mil or like saying 100 score (when score means 20)..

[lostinube]

No problem. If you just take the part that says 200万 it should come out to 200000. If you try to translate it with all the kanji before and after it comes out wonky.

[arsenette]

Yeah .. like that freaked out translation we had back then saying that Sasuke was in October.. LOL

Sounds like Monster9 is expecting a kanzenseiha or two.. Maybe the course is easier so one could be reached just for ratings?

[TCM]

Wait a sec, the top prize didn't change after Nagano won? Its still 2 Mil aside from 4?

This is what i was thinking.....They must want someone to win really badly, which can't be good for future Sasuke's.....

As in aluding to the fact that if the cash prize is lowered again, then it COULD be easier...

[scnoi1217]

Well, where was it ever stated that it was 4 mil? Just wondering where this started as I too thought it changed.

[TCM]

Well it's here, although it looks to be simply copied from the other wiki.

[scnoi1217]

Yea, that was just copied over. Where did that come from though?

[arsenette]

Would it be in the broadcast? Honestly wouldn't know.. I never actually paid much attention to how much it was worth since only a few times did anyone ever get close again to the final.. LOL

[lostinube]

Maybe it was those damn Finnish editors again.

I remember hearing something about it was mentioned on the site around the time of 18.. But then again I heard that here and if you guys are questioning it I'm not sure how true it is

[SRW]

200 million yen will be the prize of the course after its beaten again the designers will just go overboard!

[pker50111]

They probably would still keep it at 2 million yen because from Sasuke 22 when someone finally got to the final stage.... He wasn't that great of a rope climber, but anyone who was slightly better would have won... So they probubly are preparing for possibly more wins idk
