Curious. Is everyone upset because they think it's someone in particular? or are they upset because they think the course is too easy? Or upset because they spoiled it? Because people are butthurt that they spoiled it despite the fact that they really f***ing need the ratings so it makes sense that they would show it... Sometimes I wonder if people read the titles.

Honestly, I think it's a combination of all three. But they do this every single time.. I mean seriously.. every single time.. Not just as an advertisement to watch the show, it's going to be shown within the first three minutes of the broadcast as well. I watched Sasuke 17 because the original broadcast (true original; no JET broadcast) is on YouTube and they showed the smoke billowing from the tower within the first 15 seconds. This is the 3rd time since this forum has existed that this has happened; people really should be used to it by now.

It says 4th grand champion is crowned and then cuts to the room losing their nuts lol Note the crowd is actually all sat behind the final Stage this time like in ANW - should be a cool shot to see on tv. What row you on Arsenette lol? Since I know a bit of Kanji it says that it's been 4 years since a kanzenseiha, not a 4th grand champion.

Regarding the obvious spoiler: Just because it's smart to give away the kanzenseiha doesn't mean I have to like it. (No, I'm not butthurt.) It's like in wrestling when the heel wins but it's smart booking for the heel to win, or when your team doesn't win the championship but you feel good for the other team because they needed the championship more than your team did. If it were an audience of one, I'd prefer it to not be spoiled, but because the show's in dire straits I'm absolutely fine with it and would encourage it. Just once I want Inui to troll and give away the kanzenseiha and then nobody wins

The main problem for me is how predictable the final stage is. If they don't say someone completed the course, then nobody did. If they say the course was completed, then it did. Other than that I'm okay with it.

I can't see Ryo screwing up in the first or second stage. Take note people: This guy still can't lift a wall for his life. Money is on Shinya or Yusuke

This is the 3rd time since this forum has existed that this has happened; people really should be used to it by now. Agreed. I think because we've gone through it so many times in the past 7 years that it doesn't phase us that they spoil it all the time. Which is why it has it's own thread every time. I think I'm more upset at the people disappointed simply because I don't root against anyone in Sasuke (except for Yukio.. he's an a**). If someone got to the final and won I don't care who it was I'd be happy as a general rule of thumb. I'd be happy if Yamada won as an example. I'd more more surprised really but I'm digressing. It's just a thing for me that I don't root against people who get there. Don't let your (general not just you) hatred for someone overshadow the entire tournament. There were a lot of surprises in this tournament and I want people to enjoy that as a whole. People I thought would pass failed and people I thought would fail passed. It's what makes Sasuke. The unpredictability. This is why there have only been 4 kanzenseihas in 18 years thus far.

I don't think anyone's upset that someone won, I think the upsetness is with it being spoiled. Then again, the butthurtness of this board (nobody in particular, honest) can be infuriating at times. Maybe people heard the rumors about Ryo not being a nice guy and assume he won, but that's downright irresponsible.

I predicted Ryo would win a year ago ask Phillip I said the night 30 aired if he gets back to Stage 4 in 31 he will smash it... I hope I am right. There is only one other person I can see doing it tbh.
I put spoiler warnings in the thread name so I think its fair game when I warned huge spoilers as for TBS come on you knew they would show it they always do.
Arsenette - Yea I saw the stands for stage 3 in some pictures so I assumed all 4 have them now.

Just a side note in 27 they said 4th Kanzenseiha and of course it was Yuuji again, So you would think they would say 5th Kanzenseiha if that was the case. The fact they say 4th again indicates to me its a 4th person.

I don't know who it is or who it's not but I just have a gut feeling it's probably someone we know but not someone we expect (Or at the very least, not Ryo and not Yuuji for a 3rd time), maybe Morimoto? Maybe Shinya worked on his hanging endurance and was ready for the final the whole time? Who knows (Well... Arsenette does but that's besides the point, not like she could share if she wanted to )

It's probably Ryo, Morimoto, Shinya, or Tomo.
It could be Kanno, Asa or Hioki and I wouldn't be too surprised.
I hope it's somehow Drew, Takeda, Kong or Nagasaki.
If it's anyone else, I won't believe it.

well there is one thing that we know for sure: a 43 year old nagano isn't going to clear nearly the same final stage as he did nearly 9 years ago. well he might, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim.

Please don't tell me they had an extra long timer like 27 Just wasn't right Yuuji having 7 seconds left when he won

27 was a farcical tourny anyway stage 3 and 4 were nerfed badly I do not think there will be any toning down in this tournament.

This guy still can't lift a wall for his life. This is not a capable or legitimate critique of someone. Yes, he struggles to lift a wall (as in, ONE) as heavy as him and now has to do so soaking wet. Kawaguchi himself took 20 seconds to clear the obstacle last tournament. The most arbitrary and useless nitpick. Not to mention, you point this out for Ryo, yet will go so far as to predict Yusuke, who barely lifted the first two and was going to do the same method of lifting and dropping to the ground on the last one that he did on the 2ND wall. If you're going to have that dumb critique, be consistent with it.

If it was the full 75 foot rope climb from a seated position, it would look less ridiculous.
