Sasuke usually counts people by their country of origin, remember how Texan in Tokyo was considered an american competitor even though she lives in japan? Even in 32 they still put over how he was from Tahiti (Cough).. and a French flag.. (Cough) Oh yeah the flags, I forgot about the flags lol No.52 高須清輝 漁師 第37金比羅丸 Seiki Takasu Captain of the 37th Konpira Maru whoaaaaaa He's the son of the owner of Takasui, the company Nagano works for. So, if G4 were to be believed, Nagano's brother? (Remember that botch? lol )

There are only two hold overs from KUNOICHI 2017, No. 46 Anna Konno (KUNOICHI No. 2) and No. 51 Kana Watanabe (KUNOICHI No. 43). Konno is an idol so she's just filling space but is Watanabe being in both, since she's not that famous, a hint of what is to come this Sunday?

Might I ask when we should expect the mugshots to come in? Not for a while. I suspect next week. There are only two hold overs from KUNOICHI 2017, No. 46 Anna Konno (KUNOICHI No. 2) and No. 51 Kana Watanabe (KUNOICHI No. 43). Konno is an idol so she's just filling space but is Watanabe being in both, since she's not that famous, a hint of what is to come this Sunday? Considering the original announcement they made in Navi. That's a good guess.

I think he will time out on the tackle. lol, you mean the Warped Wall? I highly doubt Lee or anybody else who gets to the Tackle for that matter would time out there. Even Yamada. Well... Maybe Yamada. I mean warped wall.

No.36, Takashi Jonishi, is a member of the band/dance troupe WORLD ORDER that was started by former competitor and MMA legend Genki Sudo (known for his outlandish entrances involving robotic dance choreography. While he used to be the leader/lead vocalist, Sudo's taken a backseat from the performing aspect to focus on behind the scenes work for the group.
Here's an example of one of their videos.

I couldn't care less about the competitor list, aside from some surprises this is a decent one as it has always been. What matters to me the most is the editing job they'll do after the insane backlash they received in the last one.

Honestly I don't remember the editing quality very well, I don't even remember Darvish and his run. But otherwise I do agree, though competitor lists can affect the editing for obvious reasons. Who knows what will happen...

Slightly off-topic, but one of the challenges in the Amazing Race 26 was to replicate one of their dances perfectly. Interesting to see that one of those members is in Sasuke.

It is expected to be the same length as last time though so I suspect a crapton of cuts.

But on topic, I do like that it seems like there are a few less random celebs and a few more Sasuke celebs (Naoki, Kinnikun). Has a nice anniversary feel to it. I wouldn't mind if they buffed it out to 4hrs to show a few more, but I think 3-4hrs is about the maximum capacity many people have for sitting at a TV in one go

I do see big names on there so I honestly am expecting the same thing to happen honestly. If it doesn't I'd be really surprised. Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome setting in..

Now if 34 is like this then it literally is worse. But I agree with Psycho in this that all of this is irrelevant if clears and stuff like that aren't even shown. then who went would literally be pointless anyway if we can't see them.
