Shingo and Kane are not only the oldest to clear Stage One, but also the Warped Wall Hate to be that guy, but Kenjiro Ishimaru cleared the Warped Wall in 21 when he was 54(!!!) That said, another one: Nagasaki is the first competitor to fail the Spider Drop twice.

Okay then, Shingo and Kane are the oldest former finalist to do so, as Ishimaru has never cleared Stage One in his career.

In 39 Tsukada was the only one to fail the Dragon Glider while his cohorts Sugeta, Ajima, and Snow Man all cleared it as well as the stage. This time he's the only one to clear it (and the stage) while they all fail it.
Koji Saikawa is the second competitor after Kong to fail the Reverse Conveyor by was of falling into the water rather than timing out.
With Kanno's Double Warped Wall failure all of 28's Shin Sedai have failed the Warped Wall at least once and Kanno is the only one to fail it in it's Ni Ren form.
HIKAKIN made it further than four ex-finalists (Ryo, Kouji, Omori, and Yamada) lol.

Again, if this has already been said before, apologies.
With Jun Sato failing the first Cliffhanger transition, all Morimoto Sedai members have now done the worst out of the entire group at least once (not counting where only one competed obviously), and no I'm not counting Ugajin as he's objectively not a member: Araki - 29, 32, 35, 37, 39 Tada - 19, 34, 35 Yusuke - 39 Keitaro - 36, 38 Jun - 40
I didn’t count 33 as Jun and Yusuke were the only members to compete and both failed at the same obstacle.

With Fujita Yoshikazu's fail on the Rolling Log, this means that every tournament the obstacle has been featured in the 2nd Stage so far has had only one victim (Yamamoto Keitaro in 38, and Ajima Hideki in 39).
Futhermore, with Saikawa Koji falling in the water area of the Reverse Conveyor, this also means that every tournament that portion has been featured so far has had one person falling into it (Araki Naoyuki in 38, and Iwamoto Hikaru in 39). Still, Saikawa was the first of the three to fall in before timing out.
Not only is Stefanie Edelmann the 4th Woman ever to beat the 1st Stage, she's also the first Austrian to beat it as well.
With that being said, Stefanie and Oliver Edelmann are the first couple to beat the 1st Stage together in the same tournament. Coincidentally, Oshima Ayano and Kawaguchi are the second to do so that same day (that is if they are still together).

Actually, come to think of it, Yusuke and Jun both competed in 21, and Jun did worse than Yusuke by failing the Log Grip (Yusuke failed the Jumping Spider, but it was all cut.) So Jun pretty much already had that accomplished years before lol. Still, good eye on keeping track of each members record throughout the years.

Still tho was pretty mad to see Jun do worse than both Keitaro and Araki given his consistency and the latter’s struggles.

Yoshiyuki is the first competitor who isn't Morimoto to beat the final stage salmon ladder.

This is the second time Hikaru Iwamoto has failed the Dragon Glider due to his foot touching the water (in 37 he touched it on the dismount and in this tournament his feet tapped it when he was trying to build momentum even though the timer didn't stop when it happened)

Sorry if this is confusing, but Kanno broke his own record of most consecutive attempts failing on the same obstacle before completing it. He'd failed the DG the past 4 times he competed before finally clearing it.

I know I mentioned a similar fact earlier on in this thread, but I still can’t believe 11 out of the 12 clears on Stage 2 were digested lol.

Here are a few facts I discovered regarding the ages of those who cleared the 1st Stage. Regarding Sasuke 40:
*It holds the record for most 1st Stage clearers over the age of 40, at 6 (Hioki, Kawaguchi, Suzuki, Urushihara, Kane, and Shingo). By comparison, there were only six 1st Stage clearers aged 40 or older during the first 26 Sasuke tournaments, and no previous tournament had more than 2 competitors aged 40 or older clear the 1st Stage.
*It holds the record for highest average age of 1st Stage clearers, at about 33.6 years old. The previous record was held by Sasuke 22, which averaged an age of exactly 33 per 1st Stage clear.
*It ties the record with Sasuke 1 for largest age gap between youngest and oldest 1st Stage clear (26 years).

Kane and Shingo have cleared Stage 1 in Sasuke 1 and 40. This has to be the coolest fact that came out from this tournament. A true testament to how well both of them have taken care of their physical health across 25 years of competitions irregardless of what they've been doing in-between in terms of results and participation.

A true testament to how well both of them have taken care of their physical health across 25 years of competitions irregardless of what they've been doing in-between in terms of results and participation. Shingo I’m especially surprised that he seems to have completely bucked the trend of injuries becoming more chronic as you get older (as seen by guys like Takeda and Kanno). He had loads of shoulder issues when he was in his late 20s/early 30s, he’s now 48 and hasn’t had any relapses in like 15 years, and also gave his best ever performance in 13 years. We all made fun of the fact that ever since he founded Bariante (before 31) he’s never been able to clear Stage 1, but his performance in 40 showed that being a gym owner and trainer has really paid off.

First time since Sasuke 29 where Shingo doesn't compete with a cap and also clears the First Stage without it. (The only other time was in Sasuke 1, as he failed Stage One in 4 and 28)

Saikawa Koji not only being the first clear of the tournament for three consecutive times (I know this is already mentioned), he has also achieved the fastest time as well, beating Ueda Takuyu's time in SASUKE 2 (23.7 seconds left)

More facts that would only be useful in a SASUKE Jeopardy type-thing:
While only Nagano had ever cleared in two anniversary tournaments before 40, (in 20 and 30) Nagasaki, Hioki, Tomo, Shingo, Yuuji and Yūsuke have now all cleared in both 30 and 40.
The Backstream actually claimed victims for the first time since 34 (where coincidentally, there were 24 First Stage clears).
Oshima is the first Japanese woman to make it over the Soritatsu Kabe in an actual competition (though Mika Izumi/Watanabe did beat it in 13's trials).
Morimoto now holds the record for the most times reaching the top of the Final Stage with 4, (his two Kanzens and his near misses in 36 and 40) beating Nagano and Yuuji who both made it thrice.

I don't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet (please tell me if I'm wrong), but i'm certain we are mostly aware of it by now:
Tada becomes the 7th competitor in the shows history to reach the Final Stage at least twice, joining this list:
- Omori Akira - Shingo - Nagano Makoto - Urushihara Yuuji - Matachi Ryo - Morimoto Yusuke
However he is the only member of this group to have never reached the Tsuna Nobori
