Everybody's Numbers for 25

[yamfriend]

Branching off of chackpop's thread for only #s 91-100 in Sasuke 25, I thought about the other competitors' numbers. So, here's some random ones that I think below (considering that each of these people are in). Feel free to post your own predictions as well.

Keep in mind that these predictions may also include the numbers in 90s as well, though there also be other ones as well.

#17: Kokiri Chonsu
#32: Yasuo Aoki
#33: Masami Harashima
#34: Minoru Kuramochi (a.k.a. "Mr. Octopus" ;D )
#44: Nocchi
#50: Rie Komiya
#57: Kenjiro Ishimaru
#58: Kota Honma
#65: Wakky
#66: Akira Omori
#69: Yukio Iketani
#70: Takuya Kawahara
#71: Kazuhiko Akiyama
#73: Katsumi Yamada
#75: Bunpei Shiratori
#79: Brian Orosco
#80: Naoki Iketani
#81: Paul Anthony Terek
#82: Koji Yamada
#83: Terukazu Ishikawa
#86: Yuuji Washimi
#87: Jun Sato
#89: Shingo Yamamoto
#90: Hiromichi Sato
#91: Naoya Tajima
#92: Levi Meeuwenberg
#93: Hitoshi Kanno
#94: Koji Hashimoto
#95: Kenji Takahashi
#96: Yoshiyuki Okuyama
#97: Lee Enchi
#98: Toshihiro Takeda
#99: Makoto Nagano
#100: Yuuji Urushihara

Regarding Akiyama won't he skip this one? Doesn't he only turn up every two tournaments now?

[YoDaUO]

If Shiratori is here he should have a higher number. I mean, he got to the second stage last time he competed and got 9th furtherst in the tournament. I think Shiratori should be around 85-90 maybe?

[chackpop]

I see him as #84. He was 81 in Sasuke 17. Sasuke 18 had a race. In Sasuke 19, he had 82. In 21, he had 83.

81,82,83,...84!

[TCM]

I personally want to see someone who has a chance in beating the first stage as No. 1 (ala Yamada Y.)

[YoDaUO]

Wasnt Akiyama #1 in the 20th?

[The Chief]

yes, he was. I would like to see Akiyama get a low #, if he competes. Low #=more light=easier to see=Yay for Akiyama.

That's what they've been doing lately, giving him a lower number. In Sasuke 20 he was #1 (actually he was #1901), in Sasuke 22 he was #21, and in Sasuke 24 he was #61, I think. Ever since Sasuke 13, when he failed the Crooked Wall because he couldn't see the rope in the dark, he's been given a lower number.

[Homeslice]

He was #62 in 24, but that's beside the point.

He's a guy who can still have a high number if the entire stage 1 is daytime. (They even gave him #81 in Sasuke 15 which IMO is in the "high" realm.) And even so, what'll happen if he clears it? (Remember he had to deal with Stage 2 in Sasuke 16 when he was #71 and cleared Stage 1 in daylight.)

Right now, and I hate to say it, but we'll probably only have three All-Stars there (assuming Yamada STAYS retired) - Yamamoto (92 IMO), Takeda (95 IMO) and Nagano (99 IMO; I mean he can't possibly be 100 again, right?).

I don't think the American Ninjas will be back until a tournament that's in conjunction with the next ANW.

If Terek shows up though I'd put him somewhere between 81 and 90 (until he beats stage 1 again). Same with Jovtchev (who did attend 23 and could probably beat Stage 1 again; that said, who knows with this reconfiguration?).

If Akiyama showed up again I'd put him in as number 71 or so. And 84 sounds about right if Shiratori should make it. (And if for some reason Yamada DOES come, he will be below the 81-100 range.)
