-For three tournaments in a row, THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE have had two different members fail the Dragon Glider each time (Urakawa and Takechi in 37, Zin and Takechi in 38, and Zin and Urakawa in 39). That means each member had attempted and failed the Dragon Glider twice, as well as performed worse than their peers once.

Before anyone gets all technical this next one is a half-joke.
Katsumi Yamada and Shingo Yamamoto are the first competitors to have failed two consecutive obstacles as of Sasuke 39. Yamada got DQ'd on the Quad Steps but proceeded to continue and then failed the Rolling Hill. Shingo's foot touched the water after the Silk Slider but then he failed the Fish Bone.

Yoshiyuki Yamamoto is one of an elite few who has made it to Stage 3 in all of his first three appearances, up there with people like Kane Kosugi, Akira Omori, and Masaaki Kobayashi. If he clears Stage 3 in his next appearance (which would be his fourth), he’ll be the first to do so.

^I’m pretty sure those four, Jordan Jovtchev, and Ken Hasegawa are the only competitors to have ever done so.

Yep, I definitely mentioned something about this in another thread. That's some crazy stuff considering they are the only two all-stars who competed (well, who COULD compete, I mean.).

If he clears Stage 3 in his next appearance (which would be his fourth), he’ll be the first to do so. And just to add to that, as of this tournament, Sugeta Rinne and Kajihara Hayate have yet to fail stage one in both of their appearances (both being in 38 and 39); and Saikawa Koji and Yamamoto Yoshiyuki have yet to fail stage one in all 3 of their appearances (both being in 37, 38, and 39). The same can be said about Yoshiyuki for stage two.

Keitaro is the first competitor to wear #90 for the third consecutive tournament. Iketani only wore it twice consecutively (Sasuke 15 and 16).

Same clears of 1st Stage as Sasuke 38 with 14 clears and #14 clears 1st Stage twice Like Sasuke 34, 9 competitors reached the 3rd Stage and coincidently Suzuki Yusuke and Hioki fail the same obstacles transitions like that tournament and only 1 clears of Cliffhangfer but fails Vertical limit which is coincidential with Sasuke 32 when only 3 reached and 2 failed the 1st transition and the other clears both transition but fails Vertical limit With Sasuke 31 last three competitors #98-#100 fail a Soritatsu Kabe and it were 2 grand champions, a 43 year old and Yuuji wore #99 both tournaments and Last Man Standing Wore #91 and it was the best result of a tournament With Sasuke 36 Tada fails Vertical Limit in the 3rd board With Sasuke 37 Morimoto and Tomo fail soritasu kabe by the wet conditions

Sasuke 39 broke the trend of a 9 tournament having the hardest particular stage.
For example 19 had arguably the hardest stage 1.
29 had arguably the hardest second stage.
So based on the trend 39 should have the hardest stage 3 and it obviously doesn't because 33 exists.

So based on the trend 39 should have the hardest stage 3 and it obviously doesn't because 33 exists. While I agree that 19 and 29 had the hardest Stages 1 and 2, it's a subjective point. If you go by clear rates which is the most objective measure, Sasuke 19 still holds the record for the 'hardest' stages, with a 2% Stage 1 clear rate and a 0% Stage 2 clear rate. Sasuke 29's Stage 2 still had a 19% clear rate, though this was obviously in an era where the standards of difficulty were much higher and competitors had trained more etc. And yeah, I don't think Sasuke 33's 'difficulty record' is going to go anytime soon. UCCH+VLK+Pipe Slider isn't just brutal, it was plain impossible.

UCCH+VLK+Pipe Slider isn't just brutal, it was plain impossible. 32,34 and maybe 25 are still harder than 39's stage 3. 32 and 34 yes, 25 I would personally say no. The Ultimate Cliffhanger was f***ing hard but unlike the Crazy variants if you trained for it enough you were way more likely to clear it in competitions, whereas with the 180 transitions it seems as though everyone can clear them in practice but always fails them in competition. The only aspect of 25’s Stage 3 I’d say is harder is the full Flying Bar vs the Pipe Slider currently used. The Floating Boards were really difficult but I’d say the Swing Edge edges it if you’ll pardon the pun.

Morimoto is now the only competitor to have had a Total Victory directly surrounded by First Stage failures.

Hioki has now once more tied Sato for most Cliffhanger failures with 6 (30, 31, 34, 36, 37, and 39). He has also gone the second longest without ever clearing a Cliffhanger with 10 tournaments and 7 years (only beaten by Kong who has gone 16 tournaments and 8 years before beating it in 23 and not counting Asa and Ragivaru who are now retired).

Morimoto is now the only competitor to have had a Total Victory directly surrounded by First Stage failures. I could say that Akiyama after kanzenzeiha he failed 1st Stage but he didn't compete next tournament after his kanzenzeiha so if is the next tournament after kanzenzeiha Morimoto is the first to fail 1st Stage after his kanzenzeiha

By surrounded, he means in the tournaments on either side of the one they achieved kanzenseiha in, hence with Yusuke it is 37 and 39 where in both, he failed on the First Stage.

Based on the tournament right after a kanzenseiha, this tournament has the highest amount of First Stage clears, at 14, beating 11 clears in SASUKE 25. (Due to the fact that the course barely changed compared to previous tournament) I totally neglected one more. This tournament also has the highest amount of Second Stage clears, at 9, beating 8 clears in SASUKE 32, also due to the very same fact.

This is the second renewal after 32 where more than one champion failed the First Stage. 4 (by default) and 18 only had one compete and Yuuji cleared in 25 and 28.

Is this the first time that a time limit for a stage is also an advertisement tie-in?
The first stage had its timer tied in to the release of the 99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi movie, which made the first stage lasts for 99.9 seconds.

They’d leave a one star review on the movie without even watching it.
