Sasuke 18 Sasuke Maniac Episode

[arsenette]

Just watched the episode which became available today (if you have no idea wtf I'm talking about then PM a mod.. do not ask in this thread...).

Was an interesting trip down memory lane. Even something simple like Odaiba's Muscle Park opening up.. sad it's already gone.. /sigh but still it was an interesting look at the behind the scenes between 17-18 and during 18 itself. I've only seen bits and pieces of this but never got to see the whole thing as it was originally aired. Thoughts?

I laughed so hard when Nagano got his number. So obvious that was set up when every other number around it was gone.

edit: Wait, did it change from 95 to 96?

edit 2: Traded with bunpei? lol

From what I was told he got in the 50's somewhere and was chased down by the director going "no that won't do" or something like that.. ahahahhaha but they tried to keep a 90's number for him and regardless.. he ended up with one in that range.. ahahahahha

I watched it earlier. Awesome. I love behind-the-scenes things like this. Btw, what was Yamada doing to Nagano? He had one arm around him and it looked like he was doing something to Nagano's back. Nagano was motioning for Yamada to do something. Was he trying to loosen something up?

[Badalight]

Trying to burp him like a baby.

But seriously, probably just another exercise to calm his nerves.

*Snerk* LOL. I'm still not sure how smacking the living daylights out of Nagano is supposed to calm him down. And I'm referring to Takeda doing that. Yamada doesn't hit him very hard.

[Badalight]

Well, think about it. When someone is freaking out and they get slapped, doesn't it sometimes calm them down?

It's like a wake up call.

Or Takeda is a wizard trying to banish the demons inside of Nagano.

[arsenette]

Looked to me like Nagano was asking him to hit harder.. after all he was hitting him through his thick coat.. I doubt he even felt it if he didn't ask for him to be hit harder. At least it seemed that way.

As Mythbusters showed, you can slap sence into people

I liked that we finally got to see the concept First Stage they were going for with the hand drawn pictures. It was mostly the same to what they actually used obstacle-wise except they had one Warped Wall going into another one which would have been interesting to see. I love behind the scenes stuff like that.
