Something I wanna know, why didn't Reko Rivera compete at SASUKE 32? I mean he was invited by TBS but he couldn't compete due to "circumstances beyond his control" according to his Facebook video. Was it because of an injury? Or was it politics?

If I had to guess, it was a personal matter. If we were supposed to know, he would've told us.

I'm not sure the exact reason but he wasn't able to attend the auditions and if you don't do that no spot.

He was at the aiditions. He wasn't allowed to compete due to a large company, that he may or may not work for.

Budget problems were one thing that happened. He tried to reach his goal, but only getting half of the budget. I'm pretty sure there were other notes in some threads as well. In just in case, This was Reko's GoFundMe for Sasuke 32: www.gofundme.com/yuzjyaddSad that he didn't make the budget cut, and somehow got to the auditions with such a budget cut like that, is impressive. It just shows that there's such no love for Under-rated Well Known Ninjas in America.

Donors can contact the organizer and/or GoFundMe directly if something must be refunded, but the big sell of GoFundMe is that you keep any donation you receive regardless of goal or time. The site makes it pretty clear of that policy. It's not like Kickstarter where the goal must be made before you receive the money.

I haven't watched the explanation video in a while, but if I recall Reko went to Japan for auditions so he used half the money and he offered partial refunds to anyone who wanted them. (This may not be accurate.)

(This may not be accurate.) I think everyone should be given a full refund donation [doh-ney-shuh n] noun 1. an act or instance of presenting something as a gift, grant, or contribution. 2. a gift, as to a fund; contribution. Donation, as in "This is money people chose to give to Reko" as in "these people likely like Reko" as in "I don't think they're upset if he used part of it and saves the rest for ANW travel instead of japan" Also if they already had the money they were willing to donate, I'm guessing it's not like it was a big hit to them and they're not in urgent need of getting it back. If the people who donated aren't making a big deal about it I don't see why you should be

Considering also that he DID go to Japan for auditions and he DID get an invite to compete in Sasuke. The rest was out of his control and he also didn't hit the max. I don't see how anyone could have complained since it went to the goal anyway which was trying to get on Sasuke and he technically did.

I mean it was technically to fund him going to Japan to try to get on the show, he could've failed auditions and it still wouldn't have been a waste because he DID audition...
