Spoilers!!! We all saw the Jump Hang in the commericial.
But what kind of Jump Hang is it?
There have been many versions with Sasuke 10's being the hardest and after Sasuke 14 being mildly easy.
What do you think?

I said "Something even harder" because it seems as if the trampoline is not flat but actually aimed back at a slight angle IMO. So I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most difficult incarnation of the Jump Hang yet---especially for the new course.

I'm not sure about the differences in the old Jump Hang (although I think chack's got it about right), but it definitely looks a bit further than the only competitions I've seen recently, which are 16 and 17.

I'd advise you change the title because not everyone knows the jump hang is back. Just sayin'
About the obstacle itself, something seems off with the actual net, but I can't put my finger on it.

But what was different about 10s Jump Hang. I remember the flat trampoline in the earlier competitions but nothing specific about 10s. Also, I believe the Jump Hang is either the second or more likely, third obstacle.

The jump hang seems to me either "something harder" or Sasuke 10 version. Maybe not only did they shorten the run-up but at the same time placed the net farther.

it seem like sasuke 6 version the hardest of them all cause it took out 50 people By that logic the Sasuke 18 Jumping Spider (the close low one with the long runup) was the hardest because it took out most competitors. And 50 people failed the Godantobi in 8 if that was confirmed.. Does that mean those were insanely hard?

not necessarily because the jumping spider and godtantobi in those tournaments they were brand new and no one knew what to expect in sasuke 6 the jump hang was modified into its hardest version

To me this jump hang does not look particularly more difficult than the old one, and I too do not know what made 10's more difficult than the rest, and I just watched it the other day(albiet I wasn't looking at the jump hang to find a difference). This one does look slightly farther forward, but the netting is alot closer to vertical than the old net so you dont need to worry about the height as much as the old one. Personally I think the distance aspect is canceled out to the positioning of the net making it roughly the same difficulty as before, but this one looks like theres more room for error as you can grab your feet onto the net right away thus making it harder to fall into the water if you do indeed jump far enough, also add in the fact that on the old one if you climbed downwards you risked hitting your feet on the water, this one looks FAR more lenient that way so honestly I would say this one might be easier overall to be honest.

I don't remember the old Jump Hang, honestly, but I imagine this has been made hard. It looks like you have to get some serious distance and height to grab the net.

I'm sure it is harder as well as some of the other obstacles. You have to remember that many of the newer competitors have never seen the JH, Rolling Log, etc. and that could take out a few of them if they don't have the technique. I would give Nagano, Takeda and maybe Lee and Kenji a higher chance of success because they have tried these obstacles before.

Maybe lee? All the returning obstacles we've seen so far were in 17 and we all know he made it to stage 2 then
