I know it's a bit early for this but here's a thread about discussing your results predictions for SASUKE 40. I'll post this thread right now and add my predictions on this post by editing it.
I'll start with mine and I'm going to be extremely optimistic with this because it's more fun being optimistic than being pessimistic. Also, please don't base your predictions on mine or from others, do what you feel is right.
If you wanna know why the last 10 are short is because this was taking too much time.
I forgot to mention if you can please add your reasoning to why you chose them to fail in that obstacle. Also, just to make this clear I'm probably not turning this to a game as we have the SASUKE Guessing Game for that, I made this thread purely just to discuss result predictions.
Spoilers ahead but using my predictions, at most I could see 44 different people clearing lmao.

#1 Taiga Harada
If you are impersonating an anime girl, I cannot take you seriously. I'll honestly take Torisawa more seriously than him lmao.
Low: Quad Steps
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#2 Abareru-kun
A returning competitor from 31. He failed Rolling Hill last time thus I do not have much faith in him getting far. Hopefully, since he had experience with the Rolling Hill, he might clear it.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#3 Katsuhide Torisawa
Coming for his 22nd tournament, Torisawa has been give the number #3 again. He has failed the Rolling Hill for the last two tournaments. However, if he clears it in 40, he might fail Silk Slider or Fish Bone. I hope the latter.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#4 Mei Higashimura
Last time Mei cleared the Rolling Hill but failed the Silk Slider. Hopefully, she can beat the Rolling Hill again and avenger her Silk Slider fail.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#5 Kaede Sato
Like Mei, Kaede also cleared the Rolling Hill but unlike her cleared the Silk Slider. She did relatively well as she reached the Fish Bone. She could learn from her mistakes and do even better and reach the Dragon Glider for 40.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#6 Boruneesan
I hope Boruneesan does well in 40. Last time she failed the Fish Bone, mainly because of the outfit, and went quite fast on the course but I'll be bold and say that Boruneesan has a slight chance to reach Stage 2. If she manages to reach Stage 2, I think she'll fail the Rolling Log because of the costume. However, the Dragon Glider might be a problem for her due to the costume. Scratch that, she might actually be a be to clear as she had cleared the Dragon Glider in practise.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Rolling Log
My Prediction:Dragon Glider Rolling Log
#7 JP
JP last competed in 38 and failed the Fish Bone. If he doesn't fail the Rolling Hill, he'll get back to the Fish Bone and possibly clear and reach the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#8 Shogo
Like JP, Shogo failed the Fish Bone but this time it was in 39. This time Shogo is competing alone without his partner, Takeru (the one from Tokyo Hoteison). He'll probably reach the Fish Bone again and either fail it again or fail Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#9 Yusuke Motegi
I think this guy got a free entry to SASUKE for being the president of the SASUKE Kids Park thingy. Well, he doesn't look like he'll get far in the course.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#10 Koji Saikawa
Finishing of the first 10 is Koji Saikawa, with his low numbers. He's not failing Stage 1. For Stage 2, he either times out on the Reverse Conveyor or Wall Lifting if the time gets decreased. I personally don't think he'll fail Stage 2 as he's been consistently improving every tournament, he's in, somewhat like Daisuke Morikami. I think he's going to clear Stage 2 and fail the Sidewinder. If he does clear the Sidewinder, I think he's gonna fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Sidewinder
#11 Takashi Honma
Last time, Honma failed the Rolling Hill. However, in 38 he cleared it and reached the Dragon Glider in a spectacular fashion. Do I think Honma will reach the Dragon Glider in 40? Yes. Do I think Honma will clear it? No. Maybe if he does enough training... lol.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#12 Nishida
Last time, Nishida failed the Rolling Hill. I think, he'll clear it but fail the Silk Slider. I also think that he'll take his damn time on it as well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#13 Yuta Nakajima
Hey, it's that kid from the Black Tigers. I have hope in him clearing Stage 1 and becoming the youngest clear. Stage 2 on the other hand, I'll think he'll time out, either on the Reverse Conveyor or Wall Lifting. However, if Sawachi Koichiro can't clear the Dragon Glider, I don't think he'll clear it.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#14 Kaiou Nagano
Back-to-back teens in the roster! This time it's Nagano's son. Unlike Nakajima, I don't think he'll do that well; at most I think he'll reach the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#15 Tsubaki Suzuka
He's a "Hosto". I don't know what that means and he's probably going to fail somewhere the Rolling Hill and the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#16 Acrobat Demon
Another crossover between the TV show, The Oni Taiji, and SASUKE. Will this be another person under the mask? Last time, he surprisingly cleared the Rolling Hill but failed the Silk Slider. Assuming it's the same person in the outfit, I think he'll improve and possibly reach the Fish Bone or maybe the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#17 Ryuji Ota
Looking at him, I'll think he's not going to have a deep run. He's also a comedian.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#18 Atomu Kitakabe
He's a model and would probably fail the Dragon Glider or Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#19 Yu Yamane
Wow, finally someone who has a normal job! He's a dentist. I think he's probably gonna fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#20 Yusuke Shido
2 for 2 for people who have normal jobs. This time this guy's a doctor, more specifically someone who specialises in mental health. Like the person before him, I think that he's not gonna do well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#21 Asuka Takagi
3 for 3 for people who have normal jobs. This guy's a ricefish store owner. He's probably gonna fail somewhere between the Rolling Hill and Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#22 Tasuku Mugishima
Like the past few competitors this guy is probably not gonna get far. He's an announcer though.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#23 Koki Takayanagi
Returning from 39 comes Koki Takayanagi. Let's hope he avenges his Rolling Hill fail and improve. I still don't think he'll get far.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#24 Yoshinori Isa
With no Akko Gundan, Isa is now competing by himself. His last three runs he's been a Stage 3 regular and I think he's going to clear Stage 1 and 2 again. I think he will also get back at his Swing Edge DQ and clear it. However, he's not clearing the Cliffhanger Dimension.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#25 KAREN
She's probably going to fail the Rolling Hill again. Torisawa probably has a better chance a clearing the Rolling Hill than KAREN. Torisawa last cleared the Rolling Hill in 37 whilst KAREN last cleared in 36. However, I do have a slither of hope that she clears the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#26 Reina Sumi
A free announcer who I think will probably fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#27 Honoka
A model who I think will not get far in the course, maybe a Silk Slider fail?
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#28 Nozomi Nagasaki
Out of the last three women, I think she'll get the furthest as she has some sort of athletic background as she's a former softball player.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#29 CIMA
Yeah... A pole dancer. He's probably not gonna do well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#30 Ryusei Houjou
Kicking off the 30s is Ryusei, one of the picks by Yamada. He's a young person and I'll think he'll do really well. However, I don't think he'll reach Stage 3 yet. I can see him timing out the Wall Lifting at best.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Coveyor
#31 Shinya Iwasaki
He's a beast at upper body strength. However, these types of guys don't do well at Stage 1 (eg: Shinya Kishimoto), maybe he's an exception. We'll never know until we see his run. If he clears Stage 1, I could see him in Stage 4 delivering one of the best rookies run in SASUKE. However, I'll predict him failing the Vertical Limit as he might pull a Kishimoto and slip off/choke on the obstacle.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
My Prediction: Vertica Limit
#32 Kango Iketeru
A pro wind surfer who I think will probably fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#33 Takutaro Soma
An adventurer who'll probably fail early on. I got him failing the Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#34 Akira Okubo
A fighter pilot who'll probably be Dragon Glider fodder.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#35 Mitsutoshi Bemi
Finishing off the quartet of fodder competitors, is a Buddhist monk. I got him failing the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#36 Shunpei Yaegashi
Starting off the 15-competitor streak of content is the 2nd place trialist. I don't know what he can do but I have him failing the Dragon Glider. At most I think he can reach the Wall Lift in Stage 2.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#37 Wataru Nishimura
Wataru Nishimura is the first place trialist. I have more hope for him, but I still think he's failing the Wall Lift at most. Unlike, Shunpei I think he's gonna clear Stage 1 and time out on the Reverse Conveyor.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#38 Obata no Onii-san
Last time he failed the Fish Bone, this time I think he could avenge his failure and reach the Dragon Glider. He's still not clearing it though.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#39 Yusuke Goto
After his Dragon Glider fail in 38, he returned in 39 and cleared Stage 1. Shockingly, he then failed the transition from the Salmon Ladder Nobori to the Kudari. For low, I have put down the Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe as he had multiple attempts on it in 39.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#40 Daisuke Matsuda
Time is running out for him, he's 47 now. He can clear the Dragon Glider in practise, but can he clear it in the actual tournament? Maybe. He did so in 38 but timed out on the Soritatsu Kabe. I have hope in him clearing but it's slowly waning.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Spider Drop
My Prediction: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
#41 Hideki Ajima
The only rookie who cleared Stage 1 last tournament and he unexpectedly failed the Rolling Log. Do I think he's gonna clear again? Yes, and I think he'll improve his result as I have him failing the Reverse Conveyor.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#42 Rinne Sugeta
He's gonna clear with one second left again. Isn't he? Well, he could clear Stage 2 but if the time limit gets decreased, I have him failing the Wall Lifting. If he manages to clear Stage 2, I have him failing the Flying Bar or Sidewinder.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Sidewinder
My Prediction: Wall Lifting
#43 Shunsuke Nagasaki
I want him to clear but it all depends all on his mentality. I know he can clear the Dragon Glider as he did it in 35 but could he do it now? Maybe. If he somehow manages to clear Stage 1, I think he'll time out either on the Reverse Conveyor or the Wall Lifting.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#44 Hitoshi Kanno
I know Kanno could do the Dragon Glider in practice, so I have more faith in him than Shunsuke as he at least trains for SASUKE. His failed it 4 times now could his 5th be his lucky break? I think he will do it this year. If he does clear, I have him as timing out in Stage 2.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#45 Koji Hashimoto
Yes! He's back since 29. Do I think he'll get far? No, he would probably fail the Dragon Glider but at least he's here for the 40th tournament.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#46 Naoki Iketani
Another veteran is back. Honestly, he's probably gonna do worse than Koji based on his recent performances, but I think he will fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#47 Toshiaki Kasuga
Last time, he finally cleared an obstacle after failing the first obstacle multiple times. This time I think he'll still fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Quad Steps
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#48 Fuwa-chan
Why is she back? She'll probably fail Fish Bone again or improve and fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#49 Hayato Takasuka
The replacement of Soichiro Kawachi. I hope he does better than him, but you never know. I have him reaching the Swing Edge at the most, but I think he'll fail the Sidewinder.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Sidewinder
#50 Yoshiyuki Yamamoto
After unexpectedly failing the Swing Edge last time, I hope he avenges his failure, clears the Dimension and reaches the Vertical Limit. I still don't think he'll clear the the Vertical Limit though.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#51 Calvin Joe
I think it's that tall guy. He's a model and will he use his height to his advantage or will it handicap him?
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#52 Kaito Kiyomiya
He's a pro wrestler. Usually, wrestlers don't do really well in SASUKE bar Kota Ibushi but will he do well? Probably not.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#53 Kattsuu
He's a YouTuber and that's pretty much it. Knowing how most YouTubers perform in SASUKE (Kou, acre and Takka), he's probably gonna fail Fish Bone or the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#54 Takka
Last time Takka reached the Dragon Glider but lost grip near the end of the first track. Could he be the first YouTuber to clear the Dragon Glider? Possibly. But I don't think so. I think he's going to fail the Dragon Glider again but the transition portion.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#55 Masashi Hioki
Even though he's 41, he still performs like he's 20. He's still gonna get to the Dimension and fail, I don't think he'll ever clear that though.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#56 Masanori Hasegawa
A comedian who is probably gonna perform poorly.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#57 Akira Omori
Monkikki is back after 38. He won't do that well but he's at least fun to watch.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#58 HIKAKIN
HIKAKIN is back and somehow got a higher number than most veterans. Oh well, numbers don't determine how good you are. Furthest I could see him is Fish Bone as he might improve and surpass his personal best of Silk Slider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#59 Sho Kiryuin
Hey, it's Darvish's replacement. He's probably gonna fail early on like how Kyan was in his earlier performances. Best I could see him is at the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#60 Kaito Streets
Kaito Streets is back from 38 and hopefully rain doesn't ruin his run after that embarrassing fail on the Dragon Glider. I could see him clearing as if I recall from his video about SASUKE, he said he was going to beat the Dragon Glider this time round. If he does beat the Dragon Glider, I don't know where he's gonna fail, maybe the Salmon Ladder Kudari?
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari
My Prediction: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
#61 Crystal Noda
He is a part of the comedic duo "Magical Lovely". He's probably gonna fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#62 Daiki Kanechika
I want a comedian to do well in SASUKE like Wakky. He is one of two comedians that have a slim chance of clearing the Dragon Glider (we'll get to the second one next). He apparently was training to do well in SASUKE (source can be found here: sirabee.com/2022/02/25/20162805553/ ). However, I still don't think he's gonna clear as last time he didn't even grab the bar, so I don't even know how well he does on the transition.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#63 Soshina
Member of Shimofuri Myojo and fan of SASUKE since from the beginning, Soshina is the second comedian who I think has a small chance of clearing the Dragon Glider but unless he trains it looks unlikely to me as in both of his attempts, he didn't even reach the transition of the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#64 Seiya
It's the Akiyama impersonator but now Akiyama is watching in the sidelines. He's probably gonna fail the Rolling Hill for the third time in a row.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#65 Hayate Kajihara
Well, it's the dark horse of 39 and I think he's gonna still fail the Dimension but make the first transition. Hopefully, his Swing Edge clear wasn't a fluke.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#66 Sho Fukuma
He's young and I feel like he's going to be one of the rookies who clear Stage 1. I think he'll fail on the Salmon Ladder Kudari.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#67 Yusuke Kawano
Looking at him, it looks like he's going to fail early on. Maybe a Rolling Hill fail, haven't had those in a while in my predictions.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#68 Masayasu Yagi
A member of Gekidan EXILE, which replaced Rampage EXILE. If Rampage couldn't clear Stage 1, I don't think he's clearing Stage 1 especially because he is 35 years old.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#69 Yuta Ozawa
Member 2 Gekidan EXILE and like what I've said with Masayasu Yagi, he's not clearing Stage 1 as he's 37.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#70 Satsuki
He's part of Japan's Dance League. He's probably gonna fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#71 Ryoichi Tsukada
ABCZ has only ever cleared the Dragon Glider once and that was in 37. He's now 36 and has a very slim chance to clear the first stage. I think SASUKE 40 will be the tournament where loads of washed-up competitors bounce back. This includes ABCZ. If he clears Stage 2, I predict that he'll fail the Kudari.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#72 Jun Sato
Jun is back after an injury. Let's hope that the injury does not affect if speedy Stage 1 runs. He's making it back to Stage 3 and either failing the Swing Edge or the Dimension again
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#73 Tatsuya Tada
LMS for 39 and they put him #73. Oh well, I guess they wanted to put the Morimoto Sedai altogether. Out of everyone in this roster, he's the one who I have the most faith for in clearing Stage 3 other than Morimoto. I hope they don't double digest him again.
Low: Cliffhanger Dimension
High: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
#74 Naoyuki Araki
Araki is inconsistent to where he fails as every time he has competed in SASUKE, he has failed in a different place. I do think he can still reach the Dimension, but I feel like he's going to fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#75 Keitaro Yamamoto
As shown by his 39 performance, Keitaro can clear the second stage. However, if they decrease the time limit, he might be in trouble as he barely made through Stage 2. He is also very prone to mental error shown by his Sidewinder fail so I don't have him reaching the Final Stage but the Vertical Limit as I feel like he might choke again.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#76 Tomohiro Muto
He was the breakout of 39 but could it have been a fluke? Maybe, but now he has trained so I have more confidence in him clearing Stages 1 and 2. I think he'll do better by clearing the Sidewinder, but I think he'll fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#77 Yusuke Suzuki
Will this be the year where Suzuki clears Stage 1 in consecutive tournaments? Yes, as long as he clears the wall in time. He has never reached any Cliffhanger variant and I think he won't this year as I have him failing the Swing Edge.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#78 Mitsunori Konnai
An Olympic weightlifter. The only thing raw power is good for is the Tackle so I think he might fail early on.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#79 Masaki Ito
He's a trampolinist and knowing the history of trampolinists on the show he might do well or fail the Dragon Glider like everyone else.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#80 Kyan Yutaka
Last time, he shocked literally everyone by clearing the Dragon Glider. Could this be a fluke? Possibly, we'll see. If it isn't, the furthest I could see him is the Salmon Ladder Nobori but if he clears Stage 1, I have him failing the Rolling Log.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Rolling Log
#81 Miki Ando
In 39, she did relatively well as a female competitor as she managed to reach the Dragon Glider. I don't think she's gonna reach the Soritatsu Kabe. She might fail the Dragon Glider again.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#82 Ayano Oshima
Ayano became agonisingly close to becoming the second Japanese women to clear the first stage. I hope she improves this time round and clear. If she does I think she'll time out on Wall Lifting.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Wall Lifting
#83 Kanna Asakura
She has competed before but I'm not so sure about her result. I think she failed Rolling Hill. If she did, I think she's gonna improve and fail the Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#84 Stefanie Edelmann
She is the best female competitor in Europe and last time she failed the Wing Slider, but it has been 4 years and has improved greatly. I think she has a very high to clear Stage 1 and at the very least time out on Stage 2. However, I think she'll fail the Swing Edge in Stage 3.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#85 Jessie Graff
She's clearing Stage 1 and 2. I think she's gonna fail the Swing Edge or the very most the Dimension.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#86 Yoshio Itoi
He's a former pro baseball player. He's probably not gonna go far.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#87 Yoshikazu Fujita
Rugby guy from 38 is back. I hope he exceeds his performance in Stage 1 and clears. I have high hopes from him!
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#88 Hikaru Iwamoto
Last time, he timed out on the Reverse Conveyor. I think he'll exceed his result and reach and fail the Sidewinder.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Sidewinder
My Prediction: Sidewinder
#89 Kazuya Katayama
A decathlete like Isa, I hope he performs well like Isa as I have him failing Stage 2.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#90 Oliver Edelmann
Another international! I think he'll fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Wall Lifting
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#91 Kane Kosugi
KANE KOSUGI IS BACK! Most people do think he'll fail the Dragon Glider and I believe that, but I am hoping he clears, especially after his five months of training. However, if he does clear I think he'll fail on the Kudari mainly because he looked like he was struggling on it on his video. At the very most Wall Lifting time out.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#92 Ikuma Horishima
An Olympic skier, he's probably gonna fail the Dragon Glider but to spice things up I put for his high as the Ni Ren.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#93 Tomohiro Kawaguchi
Can Kawaguchi clear? Yes, however if he wastes time on the Ni Ren, he's not clearing. If he does clear, I think he'll reach the Dimension at best.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#94 Ryo Matachi
Ryo lately has had a resurgence. He can do great and I think he'll reach the Vertical Limit in 40.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#95 Shingo Yamamoto
I am torn on this one. I want Shingo to clear but he can't, his last clear was 10 tournaments ago. He's not gonna clear in 40, he's far too inconsistent. EDIT: I just had a change of mind; I think he has like a 3% chance of clearing and that 3% is a chance I'll take, if he does not make a derp, I think he could clear the Dragon Glider due to him reaching the 2nd track in 38. However, I think he'll still fail it.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Backstream
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#96 Katsumi Yamada
He's reaching the Dragon Glider again. No way he clears it.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#97 Kazuhiko Akiyama
As much as I want him to reach the Dragon Glider, he is physically handicapped due to his eyesight. At most he can reach the Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#98 Makoto Nagano
He's not clearing. Even if he does clear the Dragon Glider, there's no way he's going to clear the Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#99 Yuuji Urushihara
At age 44, Yuuji's clearing Stage 1 and 2. I think he's gonna reach the Vertical Limit and fail on it.
Low: Wall Lifting
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#100 Yusuke Morimoto
Yusuke's going to the final stage as long as it isn't raining, or the Swing Edge doesn't cause trouble for him. That's it.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Tsuna Nobori
My Prediction: Tsuna Nobori
If you are impersonating an anime girl, I cannot take you seriously. I'll honestly take Torisawa more seriously than him lmao.
Low: Quad Steps
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#2 Abareru-kun
A returning competitor from 31. He failed Rolling Hill last time thus I do not have much faith in him getting far. Hopefully, since he had experience with the Rolling Hill, he might clear it.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#3 Katsuhide Torisawa
Coming for his 22nd tournament, Torisawa has been give the number #3 again. He has failed the Rolling Hill for the last two tournaments. However, if he clears it in 40, he might fail Silk Slider or Fish Bone. I hope the latter.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#4 Mei Higashimura
Last time Mei cleared the Rolling Hill but failed the Silk Slider. Hopefully, she can beat the Rolling Hill again and avenger her Silk Slider fail.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#5 Kaede Sato
Like Mei, Kaede also cleared the Rolling Hill but unlike her cleared the Silk Slider. She did relatively well as she reached the Fish Bone. She could learn from her mistakes and do even better and reach the Dragon Glider for 40.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#6 Boruneesan
I hope Boruneesan does well in 40. Last time she failed the Fish Bone, mainly because of the outfit, and went quite fast on the course but I'll be bold and say that Boruneesan has a slight chance to reach Stage 2. If she manages to reach Stage 2, I think she'll fail the Rolling Log because of the costume. However, the Dragon Glider might be a problem for her due to the costume. Scratch that, she might actually be a be to clear as she had cleared the Dragon Glider in practise.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Rolling Log
My Prediction:
#7 JP
JP last competed in 38 and failed the Fish Bone. If he doesn't fail the Rolling Hill, he'll get back to the Fish Bone and possibly clear and reach the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#8 Shogo
Like JP, Shogo failed the Fish Bone but this time it was in 39. This time Shogo is competing alone without his partner, Takeru (the one from Tokyo Hoteison). He'll probably reach the Fish Bone again and either fail it again or fail Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#9 Yusuke Motegi
I think this guy got a free entry to SASUKE for being the president of the SASUKE Kids Park thingy. Well, he doesn't look like he'll get far in the course.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#10 Koji Saikawa
Finishing of the first 10 is Koji Saikawa, with his low numbers. He's not failing Stage 1. For Stage 2, he either times out on the Reverse Conveyor or Wall Lifting if the time gets decreased. I personally don't think he'll fail Stage 2 as he's been consistently improving every tournament, he's in, somewhat like Daisuke Morikami. I think he's going to clear Stage 2 and fail the Sidewinder. If he does clear the Sidewinder, I think he's gonna fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Sidewinder
#11 Takashi Honma
Last time, Honma failed the Rolling Hill. However, in 38 he cleared it and reached the Dragon Glider in a spectacular fashion. Do I think Honma will reach the Dragon Glider in 40? Yes. Do I think Honma will clear it? No. Maybe if he does enough training... lol.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#12 Nishida
Last time, Nishida failed the Rolling Hill. I think, he'll clear it but fail the Silk Slider. I also think that he'll take his damn time on it as well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#13 Yuta Nakajima
Hey, it's that kid from the Black Tigers. I have hope in him clearing Stage 1 and becoming the youngest clear. Stage 2 on the other hand, I'll think he'll time out, either on the Reverse Conveyor or Wall Lifting. However, if Sawachi Koichiro can't clear the Dragon Glider, I don't think he'll clear it.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#14 Kaiou Nagano
Back-to-back teens in the roster! This time it's Nagano's son. Unlike Nakajima, I don't think he'll do that well; at most I think he'll reach the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#15 Tsubaki Suzuka
He's a "Hosto". I don't know what that means and he's probably going to fail somewhere the Rolling Hill and the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#16 Acrobat Demon
Another crossover between the TV show, The Oni Taiji, and SASUKE. Will this be another person under the mask? Last time, he surprisingly cleared the Rolling Hill but failed the Silk Slider. Assuming it's the same person in the outfit, I think he'll improve and possibly reach the Fish Bone or maybe the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#17 Ryuji Ota
Looking at him, I'll think he's not going to have a deep run. He's also a comedian.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#18 Atomu Kitakabe
He's a model and would probably fail the Dragon Glider or Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#19 Yu Yamane
Wow, finally someone who has a normal job! He's a dentist. I think he's probably gonna fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#20 Yusuke Shido
2 for 2 for people who have normal jobs. This time this guy's a doctor, more specifically someone who specialises in mental health. Like the person before him, I think that he's not gonna do well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#21 Asuka Takagi
3 for 3 for people who have normal jobs. This guy's a ricefish store owner. He's probably gonna fail somewhere between the Rolling Hill and Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#22 Tasuku Mugishima
Like the past few competitors this guy is probably not gonna get far. He's an announcer though.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#23 Koki Takayanagi
Returning from 39 comes Koki Takayanagi. Let's hope he avenges his Rolling Hill fail and improve. I still don't think he'll get far.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#24 Yoshinori Isa
With no Akko Gundan, Isa is now competing by himself. His last three runs he's been a Stage 3 regular and I think he's going to clear Stage 1 and 2 again. I think he will also get back at his Swing Edge DQ and clear it. However, he's not clearing the Cliffhanger Dimension.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#25 KAREN
She's probably going to fail the Rolling Hill again. Torisawa probably has a better chance a clearing the Rolling Hill than KAREN. Torisawa last cleared the Rolling Hill in 37 whilst KAREN last cleared in 36. However, I do have a slither of hope that she clears the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#26 Reina Sumi
A free announcer who I think will probably fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#27 Honoka
A model who I think will not get far in the course, maybe a Silk Slider fail?
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Silk Slider
#28 Nozomi Nagasaki
Out of the last three women, I think she'll get the furthest as she has some sort of athletic background as she's a former softball player.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#29 CIMA
Yeah... A pole dancer. He's probably not gonna do well.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#30 Ryusei Houjou
Kicking off the 30s is Ryusei, one of the picks by Yamada. He's a young person and I'll think he'll do really well. However, I don't think he'll reach Stage 3 yet. I can see him timing out the Wall Lifting at best.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Coveyor
#31 Shinya Iwasaki
He's a beast at upper body strength. However, these types of guys don't do well at Stage 1 (eg: Shinya Kishimoto), maybe he's an exception. We'll never know until we see his run. If he clears Stage 1, I could see him in Stage 4 delivering one of the best rookies run in SASUKE. However, I'll predict him failing the Vertical Limit as he might pull a Kishimoto and slip off/choke on the obstacle.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
My Prediction: Vertica Limit
#32 Kango Iketeru
A pro wind surfer who I think will probably fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#33 Takutaro Soma
An adventurer who'll probably fail early on. I got him failing the Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider

#34 Akira Okubo
A fighter pilot who'll probably be Dragon Glider fodder.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#35 Mitsutoshi Bemi
Finishing off the quartet of fodder competitors, is a Buddhist monk. I got him failing the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#36 Shunpei Yaegashi
Starting off the 15-competitor streak of content is the 2nd place trialist. I don't know what he can do but I have him failing the Dragon Glider. At most I think he can reach the Wall Lift in Stage 2.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#37 Wataru Nishimura
Wataru Nishimura is the first place trialist. I have more hope for him, but I still think he's failing the Wall Lift at most. Unlike, Shunpei I think he's gonna clear Stage 1 and time out on the Reverse Conveyor.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#38 Obata no Onii-san
Last time he failed the Fish Bone, this time I think he could avenge his failure and reach the Dragon Glider. He's still not clearing it though.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#39 Yusuke Goto
After his Dragon Glider fail in 38, he returned in 39 and cleared Stage 1. Shockingly, he then failed the transition from the Salmon Ladder Nobori to the Kudari. For low, I have put down the Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe as he had multiple attempts on it in 39.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#40 Daisuke Matsuda
Time is running out for him, he's 47 now. He can clear the Dragon Glider in practise, but can he clear it in the actual tournament? Maybe. He did so in 38 but timed out on the Soritatsu Kabe. I have hope in him clearing but it's slowly waning.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Spider Drop
My Prediction: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
#41 Hideki Ajima
The only rookie who cleared Stage 1 last tournament and he unexpectedly failed the Rolling Log. Do I think he's gonna clear again? Yes, and I think he'll improve his result as I have him failing the Reverse Conveyor.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#42 Rinne Sugeta
He's gonna clear with one second left again. Isn't he? Well, he could clear Stage 2 but if the time limit gets decreased, I have him failing the Wall Lifting. If he manages to clear Stage 2, I have him failing the Flying Bar or Sidewinder.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Sidewinder
My Prediction: Wall Lifting
#43 Shunsuke Nagasaki
I want him to clear but it all depends all on his mentality. I know he can clear the Dragon Glider as he did it in 35 but could he do it now? Maybe. If he somehow manages to clear Stage 1, I think he'll time out either on the Reverse Conveyor or the Wall Lifting.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#44 Hitoshi Kanno
I know Kanno could do the Dragon Glider in practice, so I have more faith in him than Shunsuke as he at least trains for SASUKE. His failed it 4 times now could his 5th be his lucky break? I think he will do it this year. If he does clear, I have him as timing out in Stage 2.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Wall Lifting
My Prediction: Reverse Conveyor
#45 Koji Hashimoto
Yes! He's back since 29. Do I think he'll get far? No, he would probably fail the Dragon Glider but at least he's here for the 40th tournament.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#46 Naoki Iketani
Another veteran is back. Honestly, he's probably gonna do worse than Koji based on his recent performances, but I think he will fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider

#47 Toshiaki Kasuga
Last time, he finally cleared an obstacle after failing the first obstacle multiple times. This time I think he'll still fail the Rolling Hill.
Low: Quad Steps

#48 Fuwa-chan
Why is she back? She'll probably fail Fish Bone again or improve and fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#49 Hayato Takasuka
The replacement of Soichiro Kawachi. I hope he does better than him, but you never know. I have him reaching the Swing Edge at the most, but I think he'll fail the Sidewinder.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Sidewinder
#50 Yoshiyuki Yamamoto
After unexpectedly failing the Swing Edge last time, I hope he avenges his failure, clears the Dimension and reaches the Vertical Limit. I still don't think he'll clear the the Vertical Limit though.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Vertical Limit

#51 Calvin Joe
I think it's that tall guy. He's a model and will he use his height to his advantage or will it handicap him?
Low: Rolling Hill

#52 Kaito Kiyomiya
He's a pro wrestler. Usually, wrestlers don't do really well in SASUKE bar Kota Ibushi but will he do well? Probably not.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#53 Kattsuu
He's a YouTuber and that's pretty much it. Knowing how most YouTubers perform in SASUKE (Kou, acre and Takka), he's probably gonna fail Fish Bone or the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#54 Takka
Last time Takka reached the Dragon Glider but lost grip near the end of the first track. Could he be the first YouTuber to clear the Dragon Glider? Possibly. But I don't think so. I think he's going to fail the Dragon Glider again but the transition portion.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#55 Masashi Hioki
Even though he's 41, he still performs like he's 20. He's still gonna get to the Dimension and fail, I don't think he'll ever clear that though.

Monkikki is back after 38. He won't do that well but he's at least fun to watch.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#58 HIKAKIN
HIKAKIN is back and somehow got a higher number than most veterans. Oh well, numbers don't determine how good you are. Furthest I could see him is Fish Bone as he might improve and surpass his personal best of Silk Slider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#59 Sho Kiryuin
Hey, it's Darvish's replacement. He's probably gonna fail early on like how Kyan was in his earlier performances. Best I could see him is at the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#60 Kaito Streets
Kaito Streets is back from 38 and hopefully rain doesn't ruin his run after that embarrassing fail on the Dragon Glider. I could see him clearing as if I recall from his video about SASUKE, he said he was going to beat the Dragon Glider this time round. If he does beat the Dragon Glider, I don't know where he's gonna fail, maybe the Salmon Ladder Kudari?
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari

#61 Crystal Noda
He is a part of the comedic duo "Magical Lovely". He's probably gonna fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#62 Daiki Kanechika
I want a comedian to do well in SASUKE like Wakky. He is one of two comedians that have a slim chance of clearing the Dragon Glider (we'll get to the second one next). He apparently was training to do well in SASUKE (source can be found here: sirabee.com/2022/02/25/20162805553/ ). However, I still don't think he's gonna clear as last time he didn't even grab the bar, so I don't even know how well he does on the transition.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#63 Soshina
Member of Shimofuri Myojo and fan of SASUKE since from the beginning, Soshina is the second comedian who I think has a small chance of clearing the Dragon Glider but unless he trains it looks unlikely to me as in both of his attempts, he didn't even reach the transition of the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#64 Seiya
It's the Akiyama impersonator but now Akiyama is watching in the sidelines. He's probably gonna fail the Rolling Hill for the third time in a row.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Silk Slider
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#65 Hayate Kajihara
Well, it's the dark horse of 39 and I think he's gonna still fail the Dimension but make the first transition. Hopefully, his Swing Edge clear wasn't a fluke.
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension

#66 Sho Fukuma
He's young and I feel like he's going to be one of the rookies who clear Stage 1. I think he'll fail on the Salmon Ladder Kudari.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari

#67 Yusuke Kawano
Looking at him, it looks like he's going to fail early on. Maybe a Rolling Hill fail, haven't had those in a while in my predictions.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone
My Prediction: Rolling Hill
#68 Masayasu Yagi
A member of Gekidan EXILE, which replaced Rampage EXILE. If Rampage couldn't clear Stage 1, I don't think he's clearing Stage 1 especially because he is 35 years old.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Fish Bone
#69 Yuta Ozawa
Member 2 Gekidan EXILE and like what I've said with Masayasu Yagi, he's not clearing Stage 1 as he's 37.

#70 Satsuki
He's part of Japan's Dance League. He's probably gonna fail the Dragon Glider.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#71 Ryoichi Tsukada
ABCZ has only ever cleared the Dragon Glider once and that was in 37. He's now 36 and has a very slim chance to clear the first stage. I think SASUKE 40 will be the tournament where loads of washed-up competitors bounce back. This includes ABCZ. If he clears Stage 2, I predict that he'll fail the Kudari.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Kudari
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Kudari
#72 Jun Sato
Jun is back after an injury. Let's hope that the injury does not affect if speedy Stage 1 runs. He's making it back to Stage 3 and either failing the Swing Edge or the Dimension again
Low: Swing Edge
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Cliffhanger Dimension
#73 Tatsuya Tada
LMS for 39 and they put him #73. Oh well, I guess they wanted to put the Morimoto Sedai altogether. Out of everyone in this roster, he's the one who I have the most faith for in clearing Stage 3 other than Morimoto. I hope they don't double digest him again.
Low: Cliffhanger Dimension
High: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
My Prediction: Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
#74 Naoyuki Araki
Araki is inconsistent to where he fails as every time he has competed in SASUKE, he has failed in a different place. I do think he can still reach the Dimension, but I feel like he's going to fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
High: Cliffhanger Dimension
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#75 Keitaro Yamamoto
As shown by his 39 performance, Keitaro can clear the second stage. However, if they decrease the time limit, he might be in trouble as he barely made through Stage 2. He is also very prone to mental error shown by his Sidewinder fail so I don't have him reaching the Final Stage but the Vertical Limit as I feel like he might choke again.
Low: Reverse Conveyor
High: Vertical Limit
My Prediction: Vertical Limit
#76 Tomohiro Muto
He was the breakout of 39 but could it have been a fluke? Maybe, but now he has trained so I have more confidence in him clearing Stages 1 and 2. I think he'll do better by clearing the Sidewinder, but I think he'll fail the Swing Edge.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#77 Yusuke Suzuki
Will this be the year where Suzuki clears Stage 1 in consecutive tournaments? Yes, as long as he clears the wall in time. He has never reached any Cliffhanger variant and I think he won't this year as I have him failing the Swing Edge.
Low: Soritatsu Kabe
High: Swing Edge
My Prediction: Swing Edge
#78 Mitsunori Konnai
An Olympic weightlifter. The only thing raw power is good for is the Tackle so I think he might fail early on.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Dragon Glider

#79 Masaki Ito
He's a trampolinist and knowing the history of trampolinists on the show he might do well or fail the Dragon Glider like everyone else.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Reverse Conveyor
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#80 Kyan Yutaka
Last time, he shocked literally everyone by clearing the Dragon Glider. Could this be a fluke? Possibly, we'll see. If it isn't, the furthest I could see him is the Salmon Ladder Nobori but if he clears Stage 1, I have him failing the Rolling Log.
Low: Dragon Glider
High: Salmon Ladder Nobori
My Prediction: Rolling Log
#81 Miki Ando
In 39, she did relatively well as a female competitor as she managed to reach the Dragon Glider. I don't think she's gonna reach the Soritatsu Kabe. She might fail the Dragon Glider again.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Dragon Glider
My Prediction: Dragon Glider
#82 Ayano Oshima
Ayano became agonisingly close to becoming the second Japanese women to clear the first stage. I hope she improves this time round and clear. If she does I think she'll time out on Wall Lifting.
Low: Fish Bone
High: Wall Lifting

#83 Kanna Asakura
She has competed before but I'm not so sure about her result. I think she failed Rolling Hill. If she did, I think she's gonna improve and fail the Fish Bone.
Low: Rolling Hill
High: Fish Bone

#84 Stefanie Edelmann
She is the best female competitor in Europe and last time she failed the Wing Slider, but it has been 4 years and has improved greatly. I think she has a very high to clear Stage 1 and at the very least time out on Stage 2. However, I think she'll fail the Swing Edge in Stage 3.

KANE KOSUGI IS BACK! Most people do think he'll fail the Dragon Glider and I believe that, but I am hoping he clears, especially after his five months of training. However, if he does clear I think he'll fail on the Kudari mainly because he looked like he was struggling on it on his video. At the very most Wall Lifting time out.
Low: Dragon Glider

#95 Shingo Yamamoto
I am torn on this one. I want Shingo to clear but he can't, his last clear was 10 tournaments ago. He's not gonna clear in 40, he's far too inconsistent. EDIT: I just had a change of mind; I think he has like a 3% chance of clearing and that 3% is a chance I'll take, if he does not make a derp, I think he could clear the Dragon Glider due to him reaching the 2nd track in 38. However, I think he'll still fail it.

He's reaching the Dragon Glider again. No way he clears it.
