By now, pretty much every member who's been in the Sasuke 28 board recently knows that the All-Stars are going to be retired following this tournament. With that said, what would you consider a "perfect" ending for the All-Stars' story on Sasuke? It doesn't have to be realistic (i.e. all 6 beating the whole course), but just what you feel would be the most fitting way for their story to conclude. Try to be creative, and/or simply express what you would like to see happen for each of them in 28. My hopes regarding the All-Stars (NOTE: this is 100% speculation): -all 6 compete (duh  ) -they are the last 6 to run the First Stage (#95 is Shiratori, #96 is Akiyama, #97 in Yamamoto, #98 is Takeda, #99 is Yamada, and #100 is Nagano -all 6 clear Stage 1, with Yamada clearing Akiyama-11 style (0.03 seconds left) -all 6 clear Stage 2 -Shiratori, Akiyama, and Yamamoto (unfortunately) fail on the 6th version of the Cliffhanger (or whatever the new diabolical Stage 3 obstacle is in its place) -Takeda, drained while on the final Stage 3 obstacle, fights his way through the pain and reaches the Final Stage at long last (this is, by far, my biggest hope for any of them results-wise) -Yamada also clears Stage 3 -Nagano shockingly fails either the same obstacle that took out Shiratori, Akiyama, and Yamamoto, or the final Stage 3 obstacle (similarly to how he failed the jump at the end of the Pipe Slider in 9) -Takeda runs out of time near the top of the Final Stage -Yamada has the final All-Star run in Sasuke history, and ultimately ends up achieving kanzenseiha after 15 years of extreme dedication to the sport; in the process, his victory also brings him back to glory (redemption for years of failure on Stage 1) and reality (able to finally move on with his life and pull himself back together) |

I actually wouldn't have it any other way.  |

I really want all 6 to participate and clear all four stages... Except its not done there! Because after that, they all team up to take down a huge biolizard in space using the power of the chaos emeralds! Just like this:

All 6 in Stage 2, hopefully stage 3 as well... and some final stage attempts... At least Takeda... It'd be horrible if he never makes it to the final... So I'm hoping he finally does it

Fading into the distance on a giant Hello Kitty mecha that poops rainbows.
Or maybe I should stop drinking Vitamin Water before I sleep.

So I'm hoping he finally does it How much you want a bet he fails the 3rd Stage again? Plus remember that theory that every time someone wins, Takeda will fail Stage 2 in the next tournament? |

I'd like to see Yamada beat the First Stage; I don't expect him to achieve kanzenseiha but at least clearing the First Stage at long last will give this chapter in his life some closure.
Also Takeda in the Final Stage because duh

It would be cool enough if Yamada cleared Stage 1.

As long as all of them clear stage one, Takeda reaches the final stage, and one of them achieves kanzenseiha i'm happy :-).

All 6 All-Stars reach the third stage. Takeda finally reaches the final stage. Shingo and Yamada reach the final stage and achieve kanzenseiha. If anyone deserves to win, it's those two. They've been there since the first tournament. Shingo has been in every tournament (27 out 27) and Yamada has been in all but two (25 out of 27). They've both worked so hard over the past 15 years. They deserve to win.

Seeing all the All-Stars in stage 2 would be incredible. A second stage clear for Yamada and a third stage clear for Takeda would be even more incredible.
I really wouldn't mind seeing an easy first stage, followed by an average second stage, and a brutal third stage. By this I mean:
First Stage) 35-50 clear
Second Stage) half clear
Third Stage) 1-3 clear
I know most people have very little faith in Yamada, but you have to remember Sasuke 18 where EVERY First Stage obstacle was new and Yamada was able to clear them all. If he can pick up the pace, I really think he has a shot at a First Stage clear.

Perfect ending, for me, is them staying true to themselves. Clearing stages would be incredible, but all competitors being 'themselves' and having fun on the course one last time so that viewers can enjoy it... that's all I can ask for at the moment.

Nagano crushes the final stage!

I hope at least 3 clear the first stage. The odds of all of them clearing is very unlikely. Of course the perfect ending would have all of them beating the final stage though. I think it'd be cool if they just let all of them try all the stages. Just as a free run. So if they fail, they are out of the tournament but get a chance to run the later stages.

This sounds like a good fan service, but confusing for most viewers. Imagine someone tuning in 2 hours into the show and they see Yamada in the final. They text all their friends and tweet on their twitters about the news! Then they find out he didn't really make it there he was just given a free shot... |

I was about to write about how cool it would be to see Yamada up against stuff like the DSL and Metal Spin, but sadly these obstacles won't even be there apparently! |

If any 1 of these 10 things happened I would absolutely s**t myself in sheer joy. This would come after 1 of my 5 hopefulls occurred in 27 (woman passing Stage 1, Yamada passing Stage 1, Takeda returning, at least 3 countries represented in Stage 3, UCH clear).

I'm sure the first two aren't counting old tournaments but the one before last also happened recently, Sasuke 26 (4 for America, 1 for Taiwan and 1 for Japan) and 25 (3 Japan, 1 America, 1 Taiwan) |

I specifically meant in 27. I.e. a woman passing the first stage then would certainly be a feat incomparable to one passing in the second tournament. |
