Here are some fun facts of Sasuke Yamada and Akiyama are the only competitors to wear the last five numbers. Every All-Star has worn the number #96. Nagano is the only All-Star to have never worn #97. Bunpei is the only All-Star to have never worn #98. Takeda is the only All-Star to have never worn #99 and #100. Akiyama is the only competitor to have never failed the Final Stage. Every All-star except Bunpei has been Last Man Standing at least once. Nagano holds the record for -Most Final Stage attempts -Most times wearing #100 at 15. -Most times as Last Man Standing at 8. -Most obstacles as first to clear with 8. Bunpei is the only All-star to attempt only one Cliffhanger variant. Akiyama and Bunpei are the only All-star to have never failed the Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger Kai (9 to 17) is the only version to have been attempted by all 6 All-Stars. Sasuke 11 and 12 are the only tournaments to have all 6 All-stars clearing Stage One. Sasuke 13 is the only tournament to have at least one All-Star failing in all four stages. Shingo is the only All-star to have never failed the Salmon Ladder Shingo is the only All-star to have never cleared the Cliffhnager Kai. Nagano and Yamada are the only All-stars to have never failed the Body Prop. Interestingly, whenever Yusuke makes it to the Third Stage, he is always the only one to clear and whenever there is more than one finalist (Sasuke 27, 30, and 37), Yusuke doesn't make it to the Third Stage. Kenji Takahashi has attempted the most Cliffhanger variants with 5. Interestingly, he has only attempted and failed the Second, Kai, Shin, and Ultimate once. The Shin version is the only one where he cleared and has the most attempts with 3. The Crazy version is the only version where he failed more than once.

Nagano Makoto was the only competitor being the first AND last to attempt an obstacle, doing so on Rumbling Dice Lamp Grasper and Cliffhanger Kai (thanks for spotting mistake 😂).

^That's not true r/e the Rumbling Dice. Takeda was the last to attempt the Rumbling Dice in Sasuke 15, before it got replaced with the Arm Rings for the following tournament.
Some from me: - Takeda's the only competitor to have had his Cliffhanger attempt skipped (Sasuke 12); the reason I think this was is that the landing platform was basically right below the third ledge, so what I think happened was he failed the transition but fell on to the landing pad, hence why they didn't want to show it. - Sasuke 38 is the first tournament since Sasuke 20 where no competitor in their 30s or 40s reached the Third Stage. - Naoki Iketani was only given three different numbers until Sasuke 20 (despite competing twelve times since Sasuke 2): #61, #81, and #90. - Brian Orosco is the only competitor to have attempted the Third Stage more than once and never manage to reach the first resting pad in any of his attempts. - Lee En-Chih is the oldest competitor to have made it the farthest twice in a row, doing so in Sasuke 25 and 26 at the ages of 35 and 36 respectively. - Interestingly, despite lower numbers generally having less overall success on behalf of the wearer, the number #49 has had the most Final Stage attempts at 3 (Kawashima in Sasuke 1, Matsumoto in Sasuke 3, and Tada in Sasuke 37) only behind #100 (7 attempts) and tied with #96, #97, and #99. - Sasuke 13's Stage 2 is the only tournament to have been identical to that of the previous tournament (obstacles and time limit) and have worse results both in terms of percentage and number of clears (50% vs 91%, 5 clears vs 10). - Jordan Jovtchev is the only competitor to have attempted Stage 2 at least four times and have a 100% clear rate. - Levi Meeuwenberg is the only competitor to have attempted more than one stage in his career and have the fastest times in all of his successful runs. - #82 is the highest number where its wearer has never attempted the Third Stage.

*Daisuke Nakata is the only competitor to attempt Stage 3 more than 3 times without ever making it to the Cliffhanger. *In all of Shingo's Stage 3 attempts in a blue shirt he at least made it to the Pipe Slider, in all of his attempts in a red shirt he never made it to the Pipe Slider. *Daisuke Nakata in SASUKE 8 Stage 2 is the only first run to be digested post SASUKE 4, while Jordan Jovtchev is the only first clear to do so as well. *Kenji Takahashi is the only competitor to fail the Reverse Conveyor (though Keitaro and Darvish in 34 and Araki in 38 did after the timer ran out). *Jovtchev and Levi are the only foreigners to have ever worn #99.

The first fact about Nakata is fairly unsurprising given that his lower body-focussed career facilitated him reaching Stage 3 but never managed to do well on Stage 3 due to his upper body strength being a clear weakness.
That's why I personally found him to be quite overhyped given that no matter how many times he'd reach Stage 3 he had basically zero chance of clearing. Even if he did manage to overcome the Lamp Grasper he'd be eaten alive by the Cliffhanger no question. At least the other competitors known for their consistency like Takeda and Sato actually displayed chances that they could clear, Takeda given that he came solidly close four times (his three Pipe Slider fails and I'd argue 23 as well), while Sato's attempts are getting better and better. With Nakata I found that there was no tangible impact of him making Stage 3 as he would just fail one way or another. Mind you, he is the only competitor other than Nagano, Shunsuke, and Jovtchev to have cleared the Body Prop three times consecutively which is pretty impressive.

Takeda (12 ~ 17) and Bunpei (12, 13, 15, 16) did it thrice consecutively though. In terms of Third Stage appearances. Unless you meant cleared thrice without failing it before or after then this is true.

Sasuke 22 is the only tournament to have all Grand Champions competing. Sasuke 19,22, and 25 are the only tournaments not to have a rookie clear the First Stage. Sasuke 19,22, and 28 have a few things in common: The last ten numbers all failing Stage One. All 5 All-Stars failing Stage One. Nagano making it to the Warped Wall and making it the furthest of the All-Stars. #88 is the only number in the last twenty to have not been worn by the All-stars. Takeda is the only All-star to have not worn a number below #70. Akiyama is the only competitor to wear #1 and #100. Nagano and Takeda are the only All-stars to have never failed the Wall Lift/time out on the Second Stage and Nagano is the only Grand Champion to have never timed out on Stage Two. Yusuke is the only competitor to have attempted all versions of the Vertical Limit. Not only that, but he is also the first to clear all versions and is always the only one to do so in each of his attempts (except for Sasuke 34). All 4 Grand Champions have failed the Warped Wall. #98 is the highest number not to have a Final Stage attempt. Shingo is the only All-star to have never failed the Warped Wall. Kawashima Takayuki is not only the first Finalist, but also the youngest at 18. The Dragon Glider is the only obstacle to eliminate 3 All-Stars in a single tournament. Akiyama is the only All-star to have never attempt the Jump Hang Kai, Flying Chute, and Rope Ladder. He is also the only one to have never timed out on a obstacle on Stage One after the Warped Wall. Bunpei is the only All-star to have never failed the original Jump Hang and only one to fail the Kai version. Yamada is the only All-star to never attempt the Metal Spin and Crooked Wall. Nagano has attempted the Cliffhanger Kai the most with 7 out of 9 tournaments it was present. Takeda, Yuuji, Kanno, and Kenji Takahashi are the only competitors to attempt all four versions of the Salmon Ladder. Takeda is the only one to fail all versions of the obstacle. Nagano is the only Grand Champion to have never failed the Half-pipe attack. Yuuji is the only Grand Champion to wear a number in the 80s right after his Kanzen (#88 in Sasuke 28). Akiyama is the only All-star to never failed a Spider Walking obstacle. Shingo is the only competitor to attempt all versions of the Spider Walk. Yuuji is the only champion to have never cleared the Pipe Slider. He is also the only one to fail the Reverse Conveyor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Akiyama holds the least obstacle time out of the All-stars with 2: Warped Wall and Wall Lift.
Sasuke 5 is the only tournament where all Stage One clears were the All-stars, though Takeda wasn't one at that time. Takeda is the only competitor to attempt both versions of the Tackle.

Unless you meant cleared thrice without failing it before or after then this is true. I didn’t mean that but you’re right lol, also Bunpei doesn’t count because he failed Stage 2 in 14. I was referring to in three consecutive attempts, so Takeda is included as well.

Regarding Takeda isn't an All-Stars.... Well, neither did Yamamoto and Yamada. They only had that status in the next tournament.

Interestingly, every Grand Champion's height is one centimetre higher than the previous one: Akiyama is 161 cm, Nagano is 162 cm, Urushihara is 163 cm, Morimoto is 164 cm *as of their first Kanzenseihas*. Find a 165 cm person real quick....
Pipe Slider *not sure there is another one, feel free to correct* is the only obstacle to take down every All-Stars.
RIP to #37 *so close, Suzuki Yusuke in SASUKE 38* for STILL being the highest number without a Clear.

Shingo is the first all star to fail each stage. Sasuke 4(first stage) Sasuke 1(Second stage)Sasuke 2(Third Stage) Sasuke 3(Final Stage).

Kinnikun Nakayama holds the largest gap between Stage 1 clears with 19 tournaments. And Terukazu Ishikawa holds the largest gap between Stage 2 clears with 13 tournaments. Also Kinnikun is the only one to clear Stage 1 after failing it 6 times consecutively (in terms of tournaments he's competed in [12, 13, 15, 27, 28 and 29]).

R/e the fact about Kinnikun, he is the only competitor to have failed Stage 1 six times in a row after having cleared it before and before clearing it again. Nagasawa failed Stage 1 six times consecutively but these were his first six attempts if that makes sense.

Oh right, forgot Nagasawa competed in 10. Man is he overlooked? But yes this is true.

This reminds me of the fact that Shingo and Kane never went to the Third Stage together, despite one of them doing so in the first 9 tournaments. Kane: 1, 4, 6, 8 Shingo: 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 A similar thing happened for Nagano and Lee between Sasuke 21 and 27: Nagano: 21, 23, 27 Lee: 22, 24, 25, 26
