Per Inui, the no women thing is because the spot for the ASEAN Cup is for men only. SASUKE 29 will have female contestants (just not from the qualifiers - which, come to think of it, I don't recall any female contestants going through any of the trials apart from 13). (note: he is replying to the female Olympic swimmer from SASUKE 28 - he also tells her to come so if she does appear, this will be the first time someone has actually been invited on to SASUKE in full view of the public) Oh that's good to have that in public view. This is why I said earlier that Inui was "gunning" for the ASEAN Cup. I'm happy though that a female celeb got a point blank yes to coming back. As it should be. I expected there were a considerable amount of wildcards like normal for the TBS broadcast but things were different specifically for ASEAN qualification. And yes Mike the qualies are later this month in Japan for the Japanese guys strictly for the ASEAN participation portion of Sasuke 29.

Damn, that's a little soon! Know if they'll be accepting for people who aren't going to be part of the ASEAN cup?

As for "soon" he warned us months ago that it would be as early as spring so I don't see why people are freaking out. Sasuke itself won't tape until Summer anyway. This is a Japan-only trials so you wouldn't be allowed to enter the trials anyway.

Lord knows I've asked every question in the book. Now I'm trying to sort out the problem with the All-stars in the background. They are running around like chickens without a head trying to plan for both Sasuke 29 AND the Annual Maguro Festival that Nagano's company does every year. Inui said they don't need to qualify but the All-stars don't know that and are panicking setting up the guest list on the Tuna Festival. I'm choosing my battles. There's a huge list of questions with the foreign participation in Sasuke 29. I already know you can walk-in qualify in ASEAN Open Cup in November but Sasuke is a closed set. If you want to know how to get on that you have to grow a pair and ask yourself NBC doesn't give a crap anymore and it's clear by what they did in Sasuke Rising. If you want to be a part of Sasuke you have to earn it and ask around. There's only so much I can do and frankly I'm taxed on asking Inui my own questions. Priority for me will always be the All-stars.

You have a very odd way of talking to people, my dear. I trust it doesn't translate well face to face with other humans? I'm just curious about some things I'm excited about.

LOL Your negativity isn't? You told me you were going to poop on me for telling you to work for it.. I prefer to be frank. If you want to get on Sasuke you have to work for it. It's just that simple.

It was a far more polite version of what was really going through my head, lady. I just came to ask questions from people who tend to be in the know. I think you overestimate how much knowledge the rest of us have about all the behind the scenes goings-ons, who's in charge of what over there, or who we can even ask about these things. Don't be a c***. It's not a good look for you.

That was uncalled for, man. Arsenette is just trying to help. She told you who to contact. And even if you're angry, name-calling is not going to help. That just makes you look immature. "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only that which is good for the building up of others according to their needs." Ephesians 4:29.

Mike your comment is beyond uncalled for. Her response telling you to contact the director with your question was not rude or anything. She or anyone else "in the know" doesn't owe anyone anything. It is not their job to find out information for people. You should be glad she at least told you who to contact, but if you don't like it then you should just move on and pout about it somewhere else. There is no need to start calling names and acting the way you did.

Let's keep the vulgarities, name calling, etc - to a minimum and get back on-topic. It's no good for a community to be bickering over such things.
Keep calm and carry on.

Seemed pretty spot on to me. Sounded condescending just because she knew more info. That's about the same thing as asking a question and someone says "google it". Well thanks jack a**. Appreciate the info! Good to hear sasuke 29 is happening either way!

Anyways...I know it has almost no chance of happening, but I'd love to see Shunsuke Nagasaki return. Oh, and I hope Wakky returns and passes stage 1 again.

Can you imagine what the reaction would be if kane kosugi ever came back for 1 final sasuke run? He would probably convince them to not retire them and keep on competing! I wanna see him this tournament or otherwise the 30th tournament.

I'd love to see either Kosugi come back, but that's even less likely than Shunsuke. Shane has his dojo, and I think Kane would still be upset over Sasuke 8's conclusion. Then again, I never expected to see Kinnikun again, so who knows?

So with absolutely no word on Rising in the US from what I can tell, does this mean the US is going to be behind TWO competitions? It's kind of mean for the US fans that they still haven't aired Rising given that it was the All-Stars' send-off, even if it wasn't exactly a grand one.

That's not unheard of... Since they've picked it up that's happened twice, 18 and 19 were aired in the same week and they were 2 behind, and don't even get us started on when they were 3 tournaments behind (25 had aired in Japan before 23 even aired here...)
