Decent chance we'll get the numbers this weekend if last year is anything to go by

I hope so.
I’m getting kinda tired of the promotion posts in all honesty given that the tournament has already taped. There’s no reason why they can’t give us the information on the course or running order. They did it as soon as 37 taped, and with both 38 and 39 there’s been the whole ‘secrecy’ approach because of Covid but I don’t really get why given that all they need to state is that you can’t attend the tournament in person.

I imagined the reason for it was because they just wanna hit the average viewer hard with promotional material for the upcoming tournament a month strictly before it airs and then especially hard one or two weeks before the airdate. Maybe Inui or whoever feels like spreading the pre-show hype too far in advance before airing diminishes it somewhat.
I've been fine with the current format personally. Get to watch some random new Sasuke content some if not most days of the week as soon as I wake up, and perhaps the average viewer is reminded what this show's about and that it actually exists.

This video basically confirms which of the Black Tigers competed in 39. Yoshiyuki and that 22 year old guy.

I always wondered if Koji Yamada would have won SASUKE if he was something like 8 ~ 9% body fat. Having body fat THAT low can't be too good for your stamina.
Also Isa was kicked off for that? Wonder if Hiroshige ended up getting kicked off as well for being 0/7 in making it to the Third Stage.

I don’t know about Koji Yamada. Being a lower bf% hypothetically means you’re lighter and more agile and thus could perform better at Sasuke. There’s obviously a lot of well known disadvantages to low body fat like poor energy levels, always being cold, hungry etc. but given that he was a firefighter I’m assuming he was just a freak of nature and could maintain that level of leanness without the side effects.
Also I don’t get Hiroshige. He’s obviously still a member of the Black Tigers but didn’t even get the chance to become one of Yamada’s two allotted slots despite being a member for while all the other noobs did? Seriously some of these guys have been in the group for like two months yet Hiroshige’s been there for 8 years lol. The only conceivable option is that maybe he himself doesn’t want to compete anymore idk, but then surely he wouldn’t remain a member of the group.
And as for Isa, I heard that Yamada didn’t like the fact that his goal was simply to reach the 3rd Stage and not Total Victory, thus Yamada let him go.

Well, looks like Isa is still affiliated with Sasuke. He's at the end of the Nagano feature. Maybe he's still competing but not as a Tiger

Yeah he is. I mean he auditioned for Sasuke 39. He apparently wants to be seen as an independent competitor; after all the guy is a decathlete by profession.

That's good I like Isa. Also speaking of the Nagano vid, I'm surprised he included 24 in his top 3.
