After 31, I had no problem waiting a year for 32. But after 32, I want 33 soon. Really soon.

I think because of conveyor belt. I do think that it was too much, especially since the competitors just sled through (I'm not sure if it was because of water but I did see some people sliding and maybe using the kneepads for that?), while for one of the runs the belt was stopped completely. Of course, if I'm wrong, correct me (since I was not at the venue, and above is all based on my personal observation). I was the one that said the extra 15 seconds btw. And yes they stopped the conveyor in latter stages. It was obvious they were having tech issues with it and a couple got injured - most notably Tomo which is why he was sitting in the chair during Drew's run. We had no idea he was going to try the 3rd stage because he wasn't walking so hot after he got caught in the conveyor. Also.. whoever is editing the wiki.. "Drew wasn't used to transferring between the ledges of the Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit".. that's not what he said. He said he wasn't used to "no breaks" between them. There's a difference in those statements. Ty for clarification. I was wondering whether Tomo just sprained his ankle during the break or something... but kudos for his interview. Man, there were lot of things that I was confused at (and sorta disappointed), but Drew was really solid. Just calculating the timing correctly for cliffhanger and executing perfectly... he was in the zone mentally and I really admired that from him. Especially compared to last year's...... happenings.

Yeah it was chaotic. Drew was prepared though and he wasn't going to fall on any version of the cliff if he could help it. LOL They also banned sticky spray for some moronic reason. He wasn't used to the chalk bag but under the rain it turned into silly putty. Yeah.. it was chaotic.

I usually don't like reading totally spoiled results, especially for Vegas, as I like the suspense when watching the show. Spoilerwise, I go for obstacles, people competing, and maybe a few choice result spoilers. That's why I've avoided that thread mostly. But yes, I saw some stuff...

That was Wataru Mori, he's an actor. His wife is Tomoko Kaneda who is the voice actress of Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh. She competed last year but failed the Rolling Hill (has no business competing really). He's competed in Sasuke a couple times before but nothing of note. He's trained with the STQ'ers at Arashida Park and is a former winner/perennial contender of the spiritual successor to Sportsman, Sports Danshi Grand Prix (I like to call it discount Sportsman because they've straight up taken Monster Box for their own. His best Monster Box performance was 20 boxes. So he takes the opportunities he gets regarding these things seriously. Hence their emotion when he timed out at the end. Been writing about Mori for a loooooong time. He's an old competitor and Sports Danshi (Discount Sportsman) star. His more famous wife is the Japanese voice for "So excited so exited ONE MONTH TO GO!". Also old on my site. Ah, alright. It's good that they're married, because they were adorable.

I didn't know initially he had competed before and noticed him in that competitor list looking up something unrelated. Also, Discount Sportsman, it's gonna stick.

Also, the hell happened to Kouji Hashimoto? I just realized it's been a loooong time since we saw him. Him, Lee, and Okuyama missing is quite sad since they were some of the more consistent competitors in the shin-sasuke shin-shin-Sasuke era.

Actually, and this is not on the SASUKEPedia and something I only saw after your post, according to the geocities site, he was in 16 too but was completely cut (failed the Rolling Maruta). www.geocities.jp/r_0308_xyz/s.16.1.htmlBut it's only the two (now three). Before he sort of made it as an actor (he only really made it as a full blown geinojin after he got married) he was known to us because he trained with some of the guys from the STQer days. Ryoma Kato, an example of the break the rules and you get cut, trained with them too and was sort of Mori's bagboy at 32 (it was a way to get him in basically).

This tournament was so-so in my opinion. Could have been better but could have been a lot worse considering what happened behind the scenes (Scheduling, weather delays, lost footage, ect). I know I'm johning for them, but they had to make due and it was all right. Everyone was just overreacting because their favorites got cut and what-not. I'm kinda on tilt becasue Sato and the Swedish rep got FF-ed three times, but hey they got screen time and I'm happy. Also, I'm happy Nagano did not go out like a buster.
On another note, I always find it funny when Sasuke is trending on twitter and people mixed it up for the Naruto character. Gives me the chuckles.

Why was Hioki in the 30s? Hasn't he kicked a** and taken names in the last few tournaments?

According to this site SASUKE trended on twitter worldwide pretty much the entire broadcast time: trends24.in/At 7:30, according to here: tr.twipple.jp/hotword/2016/0703/1930.html SASUKE had five out of the top ten hot words (#SASUKE2016, SASUKE, サスケ, the first Golden Bomber guy, Haruka Tamura the SKE48 girl). Go to the top twenty and add on Hioki 日置, Kyan, Yamada-gundan. At 8:30, SASUKE itself was gone but various versions of Darvish Kenji were the hotwords. The #SASUKE2016 hashtag stayed fairly popular but finished out of the top ten for internet reasons (the biggest hashtag from yesterday was #precure if that tells you anything about the priorities of the Japanese internet.) precure is one hell of a big thing in japan eh... wonder if some casts can join the next sasuke lol

Oh I wanna call out the editing too - I have never EVER EVER seen a SASUKE where the competitor who went the furthest in the whole competitions run was not shown in full!! Drew went the furthest and they digested his Stage 2 run WTF is that??? You do not cut any of the competitor who goes the furthest run. It makes no sense!!! Well to be fair Stage 2 was boring and there wasn't any point of showing EVERYONE'S run because everyone cleared!

He has retired from SASUKE as he couldn't handle the pressure of being a "Shin Sedai"

Lee's been around as support but politics is the reason he hasn't competed. Kouji and Okuyama have retired. Kouji I believe something about not being receptive to the pressure about being considered one of the top guys in the new guard which is unfortunate if true because he only failed the 1st Stage in 29 because of the OP Spin Bridge. Okuyama retired due to injury.

I'm not sure the people who provide the voices would really be recognized, and the ones who are notable enough to be recognized are just notable in general besides being from Precure. Also Sasuke has had multiple people who were actors in Super Sentai and Kamen Rider competing, those air in the same block of shows (maybe you can argue different demographics but point is the 3 shows air back to back, are all by Toei, and are fairly similar ) and none of them have significantly moved the ratings. That is of course unless you get some kind of interdimensional transportation and manage to bring anime characters to life and if you were to get someone from Precure to compete, they'd either probably get mid way through the course at best in civilian form and if they were to transform I think that'd be pretty unfair because they'd completely destroy the course

I'll be in the minority but outside of the friggin' awesome tournament for Drew.. this was the worst edited Sasuke in history. I have it bottom 5 of all time. arsenette you're not alone... I think it's probably worse than 26 imo. 28 is worst, then 19, 6, then finally this. 32 was a sour note but the only things saving it were Nagano's speech, Wreathman and Tomo, and someone actually clearing the new cliffhanger... From my point of view was 32nd tournament worst editing SASUKE since 12 (which was worst). But tournament at all was good (some raising stars, shin sedai defeats, nagano farewell). Hope to see tournament next year. I still hope to see Takeda and Yamamoto in stage two and three if will be stage two still so easy with lot of time.
