In case any of you haven't seen it yet, here's out special agent SWAT person... guy...
...Yep!
I was careful not to label it with Sasuke, Ninja Warrior or anything else that could help G4 or TBS find it.
Too bad he struggled so much with the Pole Maze.

He's actually a really nice guy to speak with over email. ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2008/05/sasuke-20-michael-milner-special-agent.htmlThanks for putting the video up  Wish he had a better run. You can tell he was a bit nervous. He's been doing better these days and in great shape. I don't think he sent another application over to compete again recently. He's been busy doing triathlons on top of work of course. |

Yeah, I actually found out about him from your blog. I specifically hunted down Sasuke 20 and spent days downloading it (no seeds, yo) just so I could give his run the chance to be seen like it deserves.
His interview after his run is a little... odd, though.

Good job putting up a vid, especially one G4 cut.
Maybe he didn't know there were translators. Or maybe he was just saying thank you for thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks. I plan on uploading a lot more videos soon. Any in particular you want to see? Well, I mean, he nailed the Japanese for the most part, he just kinda looked like a robot. He spoke quickly and emotionlessly, bowed, repeated, then briskly walked off to recharge his batteries.  |

There wasn't a translator for him when he got out of the septic sludge and so he said the only Japanese he knew  Personally I think he just panicked but hey I would too. |

I thought the lady from TBS who interviews each contestant afterward speaks English?
I specifically remember her speaking English to some American competitor in an early competition. It could have been a different lady, though.

I think they were busy with others at the time or he didn't think to ask. I do know he did have a positive vibe from the G4 production crew so it wasn't like it was an eville plot against him. In fact G4 did a separate interview with him (as did JET) but both did not air. It could have been something simple as the guy that was doing the translation was busy doing translation for behind the scenes for a G4 preview episode. Considering that he didn't go through G4 the priority was low for him.
Edited for stupid spelling errors.. groan.. I still can't type..

He's good but he's too mechanical. He's probably a great marathon endurance runner, but I don't think it was any amazing abilities that got him the chance here, it was his past experience and his overall desire and how much he wanted to, that TBS gave him a spot.

Do think you could find Sasuke 19's stage two runs of Yamada and Washimi?

Rider thought that I meant videos from 20 only. I didn't.
Were they shown on G4? If not, I can't get it. Most episodes of Sasuke don't exist. .__.
