Who would’ve made the Final if they didn’t quit early?

Which competitors do you think could’ve made the Final Stage if they hadn’t quit early?

For me would’ve been:
- Koji Hashimoto - definitely think he could’ve been a serious contender if he competed in Sasuke 30 or 31. He was always strong on Stage 3
- Koji Yamada - given his Sasuke 19 performance I defo think he would’ve been a force in Shin-Sasuke, and given how relatively easy Stages 2 and 3 became in Sasuke 23-24..... I also think he would’ve been a stronger contender than Takeda given his constant improvements on Stage 3
- Kane Kosugi - given that the tournament that really showed his true potential just happened to be his last, I defo think he could’ve been a #99-100 sort of contender if he’d kept competing.
- He who shall not be named .....
- David Campbell - this one is a maybe because he ended up declining on ANW, but he almost made the Final Stage in Sasuke 27, so I defo think if he’d kept competing and making replicas of the relevant Stage 3 obstacles he could’ve been a real contender to clear in maybe Sasuke 30.

Mr. Octopus. His breakout run in Sasuke 26 was just the beginning of a long and illustrious Sasuke career.

But more seriously... I agree with your choices, and would add Tajima Naoya.

Tajima I think was embarrassed about what happened in 24, which is why he quit
