Awesome, arsenette. Though I too am curious as to how you got all these names.

Great list. I can't say how she got the names, but I will say that this information is accurate, as accurate as one can get, so she's not just making s*** up. I'll definitely edit my list here when I get a chance.

Also, another thing that is interesting are the number of times people have competed. This was Okuyama's 3rd time competing, meaning Sasuke 20 wasn't his first tournament. Also, Kongu has competed 8 times, meaning he's been cut completely in two competitions.

Okay this is as close as I'll get since I know I'll be asked. Someone I know received a director's book for the event as a small token of appreciation and in there was the list of the 100 competitors. I cannot show you the contents of the book now the drawings inside of it. But this is the list inside it I'll do my best to get the kanji up somehow. Then we can finally have a full list. Okay? Also any goofy mispellings and crap I might have done (I got a migraine after doing this list and comparing 2 sets of videos and 4 blogs to try to compare).. Also.. the (Cut and Fast Forward).. My brain was mush so I might have screwed up a couple things here and there. If you see any glaring mistakes please let me know and I'll fix it. But all in all yes I was fascinated with everything .. especially the "times in tournament" thing. I was shocked to see certain people being there longer than we earlier anticipated. It's also a good jumping point for a lot of our other favorite competitors that seem to be cut many times *cough*Shinji*cough.

I believe one person was a late addition (It wasn't any of the ones in the #33) I think it was the Olympians. Not sure so don't quote me on that. And they really wanted them there. Sorry brain fried and still have a migraine so not absorbing much today and totally missed your last page.. Sorry and Power Rangers was the translation I got.. for the uninitiated.. there is no difference I know I know.. flame away. You get the point and you know who he is. I'm sure the wiki will have that correct with appropriate links, yada yada. I'm just a fan blog

I'm just a fan blog Well that makes somewhat sense, I guess they can't really tell an Olympian no (Olympians=Ratings) and they can't really kick anyone out after they've been accepted, and they can't really break the trend and have 101 numbers and then 100 next time, I guess they just have backup numbers in case someones falls off and they lose it and have to get another and they just gave someone else the other 33, although how do they know which 33 goes first? flip a coin or something? And Boukenger is Good, Operation Overdrive is so bad I stopped watching Power Rangers, even the old good stuff.

I'm sure they were short one year or more than one on the other. Hard to coordinate and make sure people show up. or show up on time.

Washimi's 7th time? Interesting, I'd heard that before but didn't have any reason to believe it.
I suppose it makes sense that Okuyama failed the first stage in 19.
Kobayashi's 10 appearances is consistent with competing in every tournament bar one since 11.

Well, we know for sure that he was in Sasuke 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 21. That leaves Sasuke 12 and Sasuke 17. I have good reason to believe that he was in Sasuke 12 because a person failed the Jump Hang in the opening scene that looked a lot like him. Also, I find it interesting that Kongu has competed 8 times because that means he didn't make it to the Cliffhanger in his first 3 attempts. Washimi's 7th time doesn't really surprise me. He's competed since Sasuke 17 so that is 5 times, plus I remember reading in the Japanese wiki that he was in the Sasuke 13 trials. So between 13 and 17 he must have competed twice.

So if Washimi made it to the show a few times before, Why did he have to do the trials for 17?

Probably since he had never cleared. Kinda like how Brian had to go through the voting process to go back for ANC3, Washimi might've had to reapply to get back in.

Plus, he could have been one of those guys that doesn't know if they are going to compete again. I mean, who would have heard of him before Sasuke 17? There are people now that have competed 2 or 3 times that no one has seen or even knows about. So him competing in the trials would guarantee that he gets a spot.

Although how come he never passed stage one when it was easier and when it got harder (In comparison) he passes twice, whats up with that?

Luck of the draw. Some people rise to the occasion, others crap out. It's a common phenomenon in professional sports: a talented team plays up (or down) to the level of their opponents, beating those they shouldn't and losing to those they should have been able to hammer. Maybe Washimi is that type of person.

Confidence is also a big thing. After he beat the first stage in Sasuke 18, you can tell he was confident of himself in Sasuke 19 and 20. His Sasuke 20 defeat kind of knocked him down a few pegs in confidence that is why he did not complete the first stage in 21. Honestly, I think it will be tough for Washimi to ever beat Stage 1. He has the potential to beat Stage 1 every time, but his mental state plays a big factor. Another good example could be Kenji Takahashi after his Sasuke 19 failure. You could tell he was shocked by it, and he never has truly recovered from that defeat.

Yeah, I noticed how terrified Washimi was starting stage 2 in 19, I mean he has a homemade Salmon Ladder and can't get up it, theres gotta be something mental going on.
