I hope so for the NW fans here in the USA. I'm not that hopeful though given what they've done so far by boycotting Sasuke in favor of ANW though..

Not to mention the press release saying ANW is their only carry-over show...

It's very safe to say that we will never see SASUKE in the United States again. If I'm not mistaken, Comcast owns the rights to Ninja Warrior, so any network who has interest in airing SASUKE in any capacity would have to buy the rights from Comcast, which Comcast can't sell because they're airing American Ninja Warrior.

TBS owns the Ninja Warrior IP, Comcast only owns American broadcast rights.
But, seeing as how they did all of the "editing" of Ninja Warrior for TBS, unless they decide to start airing some of the new competitions, everyone's going to be out of luck.

Ugh, that's just bullcrap given that they retired the All-Stars. So stupid.

They retired the CONCEPT of the All-Stars. Nagano, Takeda, and Yamamoto are competing in SASUKE 29. The other two were probably retiring anyway.
