How would you have reacted if Akiyama beat the dragon glider

[zoran]

Ever prediction for Akiyama's result always places him at failing the rolling hill or fish bone. Very few people predicted he would ever reach the glider. How would you have reacted if he beat the obstacle, let's say he able to train relentlessly on a replica and getting the timing and transfers exactly right. 

If say he did even better and cleared stage 1, how would you react? How would he do on stage 2?

I would lose my mind. He struggled for years on the Jump Hang, and going from that in his prime to beating the Dragon Glider aged 49 is crazy to me. He wouldn't have cleared though, not in 40 at least. He didn't have enough time, and his legs were always really weak, so the tackle would have been an issue.

If he did go on Stage 2, my prediction is that he would fail the Spider Drop. He's really short, and I don't think he would have the skill set needed for an obstacle like that. I think he would do well on the Salmon Ladder though. Upper body was always what he was best at. My question is, would he have ran in the day or would he run at night with everyone else?

There were so many amazing and expectation-defying runs in Sasuke 40, it would have been par for the course. Shingo and Kane both cleared Stage 1, and they are only 1 year younger than Akiyama, so Akiyama clearing the Dragon Glider would not have been all that amazing in comparison.

That would've definitely been epic. Granted I don't see him clearing the wall since he struggled with it even in his 20s and even then only beat it a few times afterwards. Leg power was never his strong suit so the Tackle would eat him alive before the wall. I do wish he did at least beat the trampoline jump though, it was kinda sad to see him flub it considering he trained his butt off to master it for the Jump Hang granted it had been 10 years since he last competed, but it defo gave off that Bunpei in 30 vibe of being out of it for so long that your performances really tank.

Safe to say it would be more impressive than Kanes return

I would have woken up, then gotten back to bed again.

Given that I thought that Akiyama couldn't even theoretically clear the Dragon Glider due to his eyesight, I would've lost my mind.
