This is one of the most stacked lineups in a very long time. Very keen to see how the majority of the notable names will fare.

Am I correct in that it ends up raining AGAIN for the Final Stage? I said the same thing as I was watching the trailer I was thinking "hey it looks like clear skys during stage 1! Maybe it FINALLY won't rain during sasuke." then the final shot of the trailer I thought, "damn..." |

I really don’t understand why they can’t just tarp the top of the Final like they do with Stage 3 as unlike Stage 1 there is at least scaffolding over the top that they can place the tarp on to. A slippery and wet rock wall is going to be next to impossible. Just look at what happened to Yoshiyuki in 38 the minute he touched a slightly damp ledge. |

A slippery and wet rock wall is going to be next to impossible. Just look at what happened to Yoshiyuki in 38 the minute he touched a slightly damp ledge. If I have to guess, it's not tarped over for 3 reasons: A: In the producers' minds, the stage already has a tarp over it, in the form of the ceiling with the cut-out, and any additional tarps risk messing up the logistics of what is a very difficult shoot to capture for what is at best a marginal benefit. 2: Historically, the Final Stage has been attempted and shown to be feasible during a downpour [though, as Kane and Jovchev can testify, this only holds true provided it is not a monsoon], and as 38's rumoured offer may show, they are happy to reschedule the Final Stage attempt should it be likely to affect the competitors performance, and they don't bother tarping over it on the simple grounds of the wet weather being a disadvantage that the competitors ultimately take on of their own volition. Banana: As a collary to the above, the nature of a Final Stage attempt is such that it doesn't really even need to be filmed even in the same month as the other attempts, provided they can arrange for the Tower to stay up until such time the weather improves. In fact, as 36 and 37 show, once you have a Final Stage attempt certain to take place, you don't even need to film it ahead of time at all. It's ultimately at most a 5-minute addendum to the very end of a shoot which can even be filmed and edited live. Heck, such a delayed shoot might even be seen as being a favourable outcokr to the producers, as it'd allow the result to not even be known to the rest of the competitors and anyone else other than a basic skeleton crew, which would all but guarantee it doesn't leak out ahead of time in top of the security an NDA brings. Therefore, all a tarp can really do is be an unnecessary expense. If anything, the better Q might truly be what benefit there truly is to a tarp lol. |

Therefore, all a tarp can really do is be an unnecessary expense. If anything, the better Q might truly be what benefit there truly is to a tarp lol. Fair points, however I'm going to play devil's advocate here. There's a massive difference between doing a Salmon Ladder on a slightly wet bar or scaling a damp rope, to a rock wall where you're climbing by your fingertips alone. I can testify that scaling a rock wall or doing anything involving hanging by your fingertips in the wet is next to impossible, whereas with a wet bar it's more difficult to grip but the fact that you can wrap your entire hand around the bar makes a huge difference. Hence I disagree that the benefit in the case of this particular Final Stage is 'marginal', though realistically no one's beating this new variant in its introductory tournament even without rain so the actual ramifications of it raining in 40 aren't that significant. But I do hope they learn from the fact that the last three Final Stages have all had bad weather and so can be better prepared in the future. Sure, the rain only seeps through the hole at the top for the rope, but that's still directly falling exactly where the competitor is at any time. Just a simple tarp or marquee over the button/rope hole would work wonders. Weather is always going to be a factor, but if they can mitigate any impact of it (pretty much only rain, wind obvs can't be controlled lol) then why not? I haven't heard of 38 offering a potential reschedule, but if that's true then Yusuke had balls as big as Zeus himself lol. |

As long as they put a roof above Warped Wall(s) everything else will be possible to complete. Also if my very little Japanese knowledge is correct, whoever was attempting the Final Stage was able to reach the rope. |

If anything that's probably the hardest one to get right because Stage 1's the only stage with no scaffolding or structure over it, and let's be honest Inui is WAAAAAY too stingy to actually implement something like that, even though it's a good idea that I've suggested myself a few times. Ah right, well that definitely means it's Yusuke because he's a climber. Great!!!!!!!!!!! |

From the morning CM, I can sure that 3932 surprisingly failed at Silk Slider.
From the trailer, we can see Tada jumping from Rolling Hill, and Yamamoto Keitaro or someone else cleared Dragon Glider.

I feel that there's also the possibility that the Final Stage part is a fake-out, but I agree, I think at least 1 person makes the Final Stage. |

In 19, they showed a tester failing the Devil Steps, and in 25, another tester failing the Flying Bar (though the footage shown was clearly taped during the day so that one was obvious). They also showed a tester clearing the SCH in 21's intro, but I think that was to avoid spoiling who it was as Takeda and Nagano's outfits are very recognizable. |

Honestly I wouldn't put it past them given that they teased it aggressively prior to 39 and then it turned out to be false advertising, but I think even Inui isn't stupid enough to mislead people THIS much. I mean on the trailer there's literally a buzzer sound effect and an announcer mentioning that someone's on the rope etc. If they faked that all out they know they'd just be setting people up for disappointment. |

Dunno if this was intentional or not, but at the part were the 4 champions are facing the camera, Akiyama is kinda blurred by the light. Subtle TBS.
