Gaps between fastest and slowest times (First Stage)

[YourResidentKojiFan]

So, before I start, I have to give a massive shoutout to sasukewarrior333, since he gave me the entire idea for this thread. Thank you once again for that. Anyways, pretty simple, this is simply how much time was taken between the fastest and slowest known clear times. Two things to note, however. One, since women had the "slowest" times in 37 and 40, I will convert the fastest time to what it would have been with the women's time limit. Two, a ~ will be used if the exact times are not known since I believe that's the sign for "almost equal to". Now let's get started.

SASUKE 1: Miyagi Hidekazu (33.0) - Shuichiro Koyama (01.3) ~ 31.70
SASUKE 2: Akira Ōmori (24.36) - Shigeyuki Nakamura (00.3) ~ 24.06*
SASUKE 3: Shingo Yamamoto (18.86) - Kazuhiko Akiyama (03.16) = 15.70
SASUKE 4: Travis Alan Schroeder (22.71) - Tadanori Fukayama (00.08) = 22.63
SASUKE 5: Shingo Yamamoto (03.23) - Toshihiro Takeda (01.08) = 02.15

SASUKE 36: Drew Drechsel (29.45) - Wataru Mori (03.07) = 26.38

As always, let me know if I made any mistakes, or if something really sticks out!

*Yoshihito Yamamoto is known to have the fastest time in SASUKE 2's First Stage, however the exact time is unknown.

    What happened to him?

He only cleared with 1 second left on what was arguably one of the most lenient Stage 1s time limit wise.

And has now basically been relegated to being forced to compete in the trials to have a chance at coming back, not getting invited ever since 36 despite a couple of Stage 2 attempts.
