While something new is good, the fact that it’s another third stage change while they’ve kept the first two the same again is almost more of a slap in the face.

Inui did actually mention in a post-38 interview that he was thinking of replacing the Pipe Slider with something else. Not sure what this could be though given that the Flying Bar is already on the course in its D-tier format.
Besides the Pipe Slider makes a bit more sense. We’ve already seen a moderate revamp to the course’s first half, and with Tada coming so close to clearing Stage 3 in a renewal Inui probably wants to prevent that from happening without having a Sasuke 33 situation, and the best way to address that is to buff the final obstacle. Tbh, I don’t mind this as long as the obstacle isn’t s***. The last obstacle should always be the most suspenseful and nail-biting ‘you’ve come this far but can still f*** it all up’ moment, and for the last 10 years that’s just not been the case.
We don’t know if Stage 2 is changed, I’d wager the course stays the same (of course it will….) but with how many 15+ second clears we got we’re likely to get a time limit decrease, which honestly I’ll take at this point. 38 showed that the back half of the course can actually work when competitors have to haul butt to clear in time.
Stage 1 I agree is infuriatingly disappointing. Im not even mad about the first two obstacles staying the same as I could’ve predicted it from a mile away, but I can’t believe the Silk Slider is STILL there after Covid rule relaxation. Guess we’re in for another 3-hour+ Stage 1.
