What Higuchi has been up to

[lostinube]

Missed this but earlier this year, Higuchi (the guy who "created" Kinniku Banzuke and SASUKE) was crowdfunding for a new project called UFU (Ultimate Flying Unbeatables) which is some sort of paper plane course thing.

Gold Egg is Higuchi's company and he also runs sports schools.

I'm mildly intrigued by this. Will it air as a series or a special? Will it be like what Red Bull does but in the streets?

I really miss Ushio Higuchi. He was 100x better than Inui...he actually gave most competitors a mention in the show when necessary, Inui treats them like trash...

Okay seriously this needs to stop. Did you know how much Higuchi was hated? He's was a dictator, burned every bridge he crossed and was sued by half of Japan. Inui takes direction from TBS as a hired contractor. Higuchi was the boss. Get your facts right. Disagree with what you perceive to be slights but don't throw Inui under the bus for things he didn't do.

So what? It's my opinion, you cannot persuade me to go on his side. I do know how much he was hated but I never hated him... -_-

Shingo Yamamoto begged Inui TWICE to come back to the show. Name ONE person who still pines for Higuchi. NO one mourned his loss. I know you are a very new fan so you don't know any of his history nor any of the jobs he was fired from, television stations he was banned from or any of that. Again, I HATE when people unjustifiable character assassinate people without getting their facts straight. Everyone within the Sasuke community loves Inui. Inui is the last person standing that still loves the show and has dedicated his life TWICE to keeping it's legacy alive. Shingo wouldn't waste his time bringing him back from that huge split back in Sasuke 14 when Inui defied Higuchi for what he was doing to the show. THINK about that for a moment.
