What was the first Sasuke you saw and how did you hear about it. For example, the first Sasuke I watched was 22 after I saw a commercial for it on G4 while flipping through the channels. ;D

My first Sasuke was about a year ago. My family had switched to digital cable and we got a couple extra channels. One was G4 and I happened upon the show. I had seen Viking a few years back, so naturally, Sasuke reminded me of that. After being able to watch several episodes On Demand, I was hooked  |

Sasuke 14 on G4. Me and my friend were talking about how cool it looked and then I found this site and watched Sasuke and got hooked.

IIRC, the first competition that I saw was Sasuke 8 on G4 around summer/fall of 2007. I only remember this because I can recall seeing Jordan Jovtchev and Kane Kosugi on the Final Stage in one of the first tournaments (if not the first one) that I watched. Since then, I've only become more and more hooked to this awesome show, though I think I only started training for it back around summer of 2008. Surprisingly, I didn't come across this site until last fall. Ah, this all brings back memories...  |

Don't remember.
When I first watched Ninja Warrior I thought it was stupid MXC (I didn't hate MXC, I thought G4 just ripped it off, and that was that) but than after seeing clips of it after Xplay, I started to get interested in the obstacles.
Than competitors
Than everything else. No idea what tournament it was though.

I didnt even know this forum existed. I watched 21, 22, and 23 on youtube. Then i had enough of getting 'spoiled'. Im sure i woulda found it much earlier but i never posted or read on g4 forums. |

First one I watched was Sasuke 17 around Spring or Summer of 2007. A friend of mine in the neighborhood was watching it when I came over. After a few months I started getting into the show. Yet the friend who got me into it was never too into the show as I ended up being, he just liked watching it from time to time.

At first I turned the TV off when I saw "NInja Warrior" about to start. I thought it was some G4 crap like Takeshi's Castle (I simply hated that show). Than one day I casually tuned in to see if Guinnes World Records was on, and saw...I think...Sasuke 11. Somebody was doing the Jump Hang, and I just went...OMFG WHAT IZ THAT STUFF i WANN TRY WANNA TRY WANNA TRYYYYY!!! I couldn't understand jack squat about the names because I was too stunned by the course to pay attention on who was running. I couldn't manage top find the right timeslot for about one week (stupid GXT...changing schedule every single day!!),and when I finally found it again it had started again from Sasuke 6. At first my favourite competitors was Yamada..because it was the only name I could remember, LOL! Then Shingo, then I watched Sasuke 8 and saw *a fisherman* blazing through the course only to die on the wall. "...ooooh...he's cute...yay he smiles!Aww stupid wall.Wow.Hope to see this guy in the next episode." You shall know the rest  |

I don't remember what my first tournament was, but I remember that Shingo was the first competitor that I learned to recognize. What first caught my attention about him was his hat. Seriously. I like wearing baseball hats, and when I watched the show I noticed that Shingo was wearing one.

It was Summer of 2007, I remember the day, it was a Saturday because for some reason I was watching ABC Kids that morning. After browsing around I saw G4 had something called "Ninja Warrior" and this was back when the opening graphics were yellow and the obstacle bar was black. I don't remember the tournament specifically, but I do remember it was a tournament with black mats. So between 13-17, likely 13 or 14 because I only saw 17 during the Ninja Warrior graphic redesign (because I had looked up Nagano's win already).

I saw 20 first, I believe. I saw a WoNW competition(3?) at my friend's house, then i looked for it at home. 20 was the next showing.

Yamamoto was also the first guy I began recognizing. Probably because he was in every tournament. . And he was the first person I ever saw on Sasuke. Sasuke 3, final . |

Well I was flipping through channels, and I saw something called Ninja Warrior, and I thought this seems interesting enough since nothing else is on, so I'll give it a shot. And I'm pretty sure the first one I saw was the final stage of Sasuke 17 way back in early spring of 2007 I think, and the first run I saw was Nagano's, and my mouth was open cause I was in such awe. Then, I saw that they were gonna replay the 3rd Stage and Final Stage later, and I watched it again. Then, I went to try the cliffhanger on the Ibeams in my basement, and I put up a pretty good effort for someone who at the time could only do one pullup haha.

First I saw as Ninja Warrior was Kunoichi, I think 4, it was during stage 1, Saw the rest of the tournament and then they showed part of 5.
If you mean first Sasuke I saw and Kunoichi doesn't count, it was Sasuke 15, Also as Ninja Warrior, Didn't know there was a version of Ninja Warrior everyone could compete in at the time XD
If you mean first Japanese broadcast I saw it was Sasuke 19 which I saw after G4 had already aired it.. Since the start was missing up until Lance Tarvend's run the first FULL Japanese broadcast I saw was 20, which also was after G4 aired the tournament.
Or do you mean first one I saw the same day as it aired? Because that was 21 back when I had my old computer and couldn't stream so I downloaded all the parts through a youtube downloader back when theguy was still up..
If you mean first LIVE broadcast that was Sasuke 22..
Now I completely have no life for remembering all this..
