You're asked to take most of the major competitors from 33 and to assign them numbers for 34.
100. Yusuke Morimoto
99. Asa Kazuma
98. Tomohiro Kawaguchi
97. Drew Drechsel
96. Shunsuke Nagasaki
95. Jun Sato
94. Mori
93. Toshihiro Takeda
92. ABC-Z Blonde Haired Dude
91. K-1 World Cup Dude
90. Ryo Matachi
89. Wreathman
88. Yuuji Urishihara
87. Hitoshi Kanno
85. Darvish Kenji
81. Kong Takahashi
80. Fill-In Celebrity
79. Shinya Kishimoto
67. Nagano Fishing Prodige
66. Suzuki Something
65. Shingo Yamamoto
54 – 64: Women
50. Wrestler from Navi (Ibushi?)
49. Hioki Masashi
42. Naoki Iketani
37. Odd Punk Rock Guy
36. The other ABC-Z guy
35. The other Golden Bomber
34. Katsumi Yamada
33. Hiroshige Yamamoto
21. Minor Celebrity
I personally liked the layout from 33, and thought the celebrities were actually mixed in quite well, especially because they did so great.

Surely Drew has finally earned 99 or 100 after going the furthest two times in a row and being on a four tournament streak of making it to Stage 3.

Surely Drew has finally earned 99 or 100 after going the furthest two times in a row and being on a four tournament streak of making it to Stage 3. What you need to think about is not how well Drew did, but how *expected* the other competitors results were. Sato, Nagasaki and Morimoto all maintained streak by returning to Stage 3. None of them failed unexpectedly early or in a way that suggests something was amiss. Generally speaking if a huge proportion of competitors fail one obstacle it suggests a genuine difficulty (even if circumstantial like weather). It could be argued that none of those 3 or Drew deviated from the expected outcome and therefore they were awarded numbers accurately such that there will be minimal change between 33 and 34 It would be my logical guess that due to Tomo's fail, Drew, Sato, Nagasaki and Kazuma will increased one position to occupy the top 5. Due to Asa's consistency and popularity it would not be outside of expectation that he may even gain positions receiving anywhere from 96-99. But it is nearly certain that they will be our top 5, as all 5 of them have been to Stage 3 twice or more in the last 3 seasons. As is such, I expect Ryo, Yuuji, Kong, etc to slide a few due to their early exit. Darvish and ABC-Z, while once just celebrity appearances, are now capable enough that it is completely within reason we see them Stage 2 bound again and they will receive higher popularity votes. Nagano's shipmate was imo rookie of the year and therefore I expect the biggest jump, from 52 up to 8x Takeda has reaffirmed his contribution as a competitor and will hold 90s. |

Shinya's gonna drop like a stone. Shingo may hold onto mid 80's if lucky.

Shinya's gonna drop like a stone. Shingo may hold onto mid 80's if lucky. Despite a bad run I am not sure he'll drop a ton. There are a few new rising stars that will get spots above him but I would be astonished if he wasn't 70s. He cleared a crazy Cliffhanger jump, something still only 6 competitors have ever done to date. By the achievement alone I feel the show will keep him grouped at the lower end of the 'Serious Competitors' that span the 80s and up Shingo is extremely popular still, and the show tends to pair the old All-Stars together for consecutive runs. Due to Takeda's performance my expectation is Shingo will be Takeda's # - 1 |

Due to Takeda's performance my expectation is Shingo will be Takeda's # - 1 Yeah because Shingo CONTINUES the perfect attendance streak. I know he'll be back.  But what about Yamada? Was his ban lifted for future tourneys or is it reinstituted? |

Was his ban lifted for future tourneys or is it reinstituted? I don't know what the state of Yamada is, but if I were to make an educated guess: The reason he was banned in the first place was him being dramatic if I remember correctly. He honestly seems to have mellowed out as an individual a lot over the last few years. He seems to have resolved the issues with the show staff, and if they gave him this chance, I imagine the ban was lifted. I mean, so long as he was 'well-behaved' and didn't cause any drama we missed off-camera. Whatever your opinion of Yamada is he was legitimately important to the shows history and they don't really have a lot to lose by letting him back in. |

Wow, I just realized I said Ishikawa Terukazu and not Tomohiro Kawaguchi for #98. I was on literal 1.5 hours of sleep when writing that though, thanks to the stream, so that's my excuse.

That looks like a good pick, giving the clears from the past competition a bigger number.
And I wonder who will be #1 next tournament. Will it be Kinnikun once again?
