Things missed and noticed

[sasukefan]

As it was my first on-line SASUKE I knew I'd have a lot of questions so I was taking some notes (don't laugh
There're things that I noticed that need explaining.

Who was the man performing after Yamada? Wearing red T-shirt, his number was 92 I guess. I wouldn't pay attention if it wasn't for the extremely vivid reaction of Nagano...He jumped high (it was so cute) with such a joy that if I hadn't known better, I would've thought it's Takeda completing his Final...

Who was that man Nagano was so happy about? I generally love seeing him happy. It's his smile that attracted my attention in the first place...even before I knew his name

Second thing. The girl who congratulated to...here my note is incomplete :/...it was definitely someone who cleared the 3d Stage. Wasn't she the Kunoichi Winner?

And Nagano again...
The look on his face after David Campbell's run. He looked extremely tired and...resigned. Or was it just my impression?

Generally the more people failed, the less time was remaining to their own run, the more tired and depressed they looked.
I know it was mental tiredness and I admire both Nagano and Yuuji that they didn't let it to beat them. That waiting for your turn is more that anyone could stand !! That's one of the things that makes them super men in my eyes. Especially Nagano who's been doing this for years...

The guy in the Red shirt is "Wakky" a Japanese comedian.

As Giga said, that was Wakky, a comedian who has been competing on Sasuke plenty starting in the Shin Sasuke era, He also competed in Sportsman #1 a few times.

And as for the girl who congratulated "someone who cleared the third stage", I assume the guy you mean is Matachi Ryo (Since obviously you'd know Yuuji), And no, that wasn't any of the Kunoichi champions, that was his mom, her name was given plenty of times but I can't read Kanji so I don't know what it is.

As for why Nagano looked tired after David's run, It was very late by that point of the day so of course they'd be tired. We know it was very late at night when they were doing stage 3

Wakky was also in the last Sportsman #1 special with Takeda, Shingo and Nagano. They've also competed in Sasuke together for a few years now and have come familiar with each other. Given also how animated Wakky was supporting the All-Stars in Sportsman it's obvious Nagano would be as animated when Wakky FINALLY passed stage 1 after years of trying.

I was told Ryo's Mom's name is Miki and changed the blog accordingly

Nagano's sigh at the end of David's UCH fail was definitely of resignation. He cheers everyone and someone with that much potential falling just is disheartening. He also takes that into consideration to his run (imagine "this guy has been training on it every day and I haven't.. so what chance do I have?). He even said before his run he knew he wouldn't pass the UCH.

Thank you for enlightening - you seem to know everything

When and where Nagano said he wouldn't pass UCH? Can it be read someplace?

Lol, just look at his face before he starts it.
