The Planet Bride appears to be there to take out people, rather than drain their strength like the Drum Hopper did. While the Stage may be harder, the UCCH may now be easier. There'll probably be people who struggle on it for a long period of time and barely get through it and have to face the ucch so I don't think it's easier by a large margin

I’m just wondering if it scales for height. Because the fact that the flat part moves in and out makes this seem super unfair height wise. Cool idea though!

I think its more Yamada is jealous of Yuuji.Seeing a kid with just started competing 3 tournaments ago do better than you have done in 22 tournaments would be pretty disheartening for Yamada.The sad thing is that its only Yamada's age which is holding him back from doing well.If he was a bit younger id say he could probably clear stage 1 and perhaps 2.Its good he owned up for his mistakes in tourney 28. He hasn't changed.. trust me.. his confession was not his idea. It's good at least that after 20 years he said something about it when confronted on camera but it wasn't his idea. But it's not just Yuuji he is jealous.. it's everyone that is not him. Nagano is the only person he adores and borderline worships but Yamada hasn't changed.. it's just his personality and that sucker is ingrained by this point. All anyone has learned to do is deal with it and after 20 years they are now pros. Most just ignore him and it's painfully obvious when you see it on the lot during taping. Anyway let's just stick to obstacles in the thread. Tourney hasn't even aired yet! Well there is one thing I disagree with on Yamada hate.The primary reason people hate him is because he put Sasuke over his family with quitting his job and training fulltime for Sasuke, thats a good reason to dislike him.What I do dislike is how everyone forgets about Yoshiyuki Okuyama doing the exact same thing quitting his job and training fulltime for sasuke.Not trying to smear Okuyama or anything(even though I do dislike him) but I think its hypocritical he gets a free pass and Yamada gets ridiculed.

But Okuyama wasn’t doing all of Yamada’s other flamboyant things (telling people their achievements don’t count, “quitting” the show at least five times, getting in a fight with the producers, getting three tries at Stage Two is Sasuke 12, lol the list goes on). I don’t think the main reason he’s so disliked on here is just that he quit his job - that’s not something new for ninjas at all. Yamada is one that I do really like to see, simply for how unpredictable he is and knowing he’ll do something that’s completely rude and our-of-the-blue at just about every tournament😂 But yes, back go topic!

People hate Yamada for a number of reasons, the priority of a tv show over his family, his needs for the spotlight to the point of harassing others. Yamada and Akiyama were forced to be All-Stars together but they hated each other (because of Yamada's antics on Banzuke) and it took Nagano to at least make them tolerate each other in public. Even in the show, they rarely would be next to each other or have someone as a buffer in between them when they could help it. Yamada is a toxic person who few tolerate and even fewer like (as a person). He's not disliked for any one thing, it's a lifetime of nonsense. I don't know why you dislike Okuyama, but it seems like you're basing the thing about quitting his job to focus on Sasuke off of G4 knownledge, which is completely false. He never got criticized because he never quit his job for Sasuke. You can watch the G4 edit for the nostalgia and the easier watch. But never rely on G4 for historical knowledge of any sort. The captions aren't even right 90% of the time. TBS even makes up storylines for faux-drama. And I know we're at the point where we're a month out and Inui will go radio silent for a while as he edits, but like was said previously, let's leave this to the obstacles of this tournament. Not someone who isn't even competing. Put the conversation elsewhere if you must talk about it.

So... how does the new obstacle in Stage 3 work? I don’t understand the translation lol The Planet Bridge is essentially a re-imagined Body Prop. Competitors cross propping themselves between the orbs with using their hands and the wall using their feet. As they're going the length of the obstacle, the wall will push forward and backward 20cm.

Okuyama didn't quit his job.. That was TV crap again and it was obvious when you saw him with his family and his job.. That's why this perceived hate out of nowhere never stuck because we all knew they made it up. Yamada was fired from his wife's family business twice (that's the sheet metal place they keep showing) and has had odd jobs since he is not the breadwinner (they are living in his wife's family home and doesn't work otherwise but that's another subject..), his kids disowned him, his wife refused to be on camera with him for 15 years now among other things. The true reason though is his diva personality on set is legendary. He's done so much on set against other competitors it's nauseating. Stupid stuff like shading people because they are not "up to his level" is just on a long list of things we can't stand. Others have defended him up to the point where TBS had to cut him from the broadcast in Sasuke 30 (and even in the unedited Sasuke 30 DVD) where it was obvious he infuriated TBS enough to allow that deletion to happen. He's been on and on in behavior ever since and is back to not competing again and on a leash. He's left by himself during the day because no one wants to deal with him and he's to the point where he doesn't chase people anymore either to get attention.

Maybe nobody has said it yet, but planet bridge is obviously Shingo's worst nightmares about the body prop evolved and multiplied. imagine if they just decided the change up the body prop back in the day... shingo would be surprised stiff

In 15 and 17? Or is just like an overall difficulty of the Body Prop?

Of the six times Shingo faced the Body Prop, he went 4 completions, 2 failure (15 and 17 like Sprinter said). Shingo was also the first attempt and clear on the obstacle. But everyone would be sweating even if the Body Prop just on its own returned. It took at least one person out in all but two tournaments and even took out the most people in Stage 3 in its last tournament. The obstacle has only ever been a killer.

I’m not saying in any way at all that I believe the original Body Prop to be more difficult than the Planet Bridge will be, but I think parts of the Planet Bridge may end up being slightly easier. The main thing I mean by this is that instead of having to press your hands flat against a wall, you can now use the “planets” to get a better grip. Again, I’m not saying the Planet Bridge is close to being the easier of the two, but I think the planets themselves may be beneficial to contestants moreso than the Wall was.

Then twice he failed it obviously it's a mental block he didn't have the chance to overcome (or at least prove he could overcome) because nagano won in sasuke 17. Tbh I've seen it as his ultimate hurdle in stage 3. Now back in an even harder form

Also, good idea to change up the double pendulum to the dragon glider, was watching sasuke 34 recently and vast majority of the people who did the double pendulum were doing additional swings on the first bar to build momentum to grab the second pendulum with the dragon glider there's no such chance to do that, you either make it to the second bar the first time or you'll fail (not enough momentum to reach the bar or stuck in no man's land should anyone try the double pendulum technique.
looks like they're trying to up the pace in stage 1

The only thing that could be considered spoiler-ish is during Yuuji's interview There is a small picture in picture of a person in a neon green shirt attempting the Tackle and Soritatsu Kabe.
