So yesterday I did highest number for competitors who never cleared, today I'm posting a similar thread but lowest number from a competitor who reached Stage 3 prior to that tournament. I initially wanted to merge the two into a single thread yesterday but didn't have the time or patience, lol. Note that I'm doing Stage 3 as cba to research all the randos from Sasuke 1-4, lol. I've also put an asterisk as to whether they made Stage 3 in the previous tournament or not.
1: NA
2: #43 - Yoshihito Yamamoto*
3: #10 - Ken Hasegawa*
4: #40 - Eichi Miura
5: #23 - Shusuke Sato*
6: #15 - Hiroyuki Asaoka
7: #13 - Shusuke Sato
8: #24 - Eichi Miura
9: #28 - Eichi Miura
10: #40 - Daisuke Nakata*
11: #58 - Hiroyuki Asaoka*
12: #72 - Hiroyuki Asaoka
13: #71 - Daisuke Nakata
14: #57 - Koji Yamada
15: #70 - Koji Yamada
16: #65 - Daisuke Nakata
17: #71 - Kazuhiko Akiyama
18: #44 - Shinji Kobayashi
19: #76 - Shinji Kobayashi
20: #1 - Kazuhiko Akiyama
21: #69 - Yuta Adachi
22: #20 - Kazuhiko Akiyama
23: #62 - Terukazu Ishikawa
24: #62 - Kazuhiko Akiyama
25: #40 - Kenji Takahashi* (would've been Levi at #39 but he got swapped out to #48 due to the Dome Steps fiasco)
26: #85 - Terukazu Ishikawa
27: #1 - Hitoshi Kanno
28: #40 - Koji Hashimoto*
29: #36 - Shingo Yamamoto
30: #34 - Katsumi Yamada
31: #31 - Masashi Hioki*
32: #31 - Masashi Hioki*
33: #33 - Katsumi Yamada
34: #45 - Masashi Hioki
35: #60 - Masashi Hioki*
36: #71 - Masashi Hioki*
37: #4 - Akira Omori
38: #17 - Akira Omori
39: #50 - Yoshiyuki Yamamoto*
40: #24 - Yoshinori Isa*
41: #44 - Hayate Kajihara*
As always if I've got any of these wrong, just give me a shout and I'll change.

Being the annoying pedant I am, I've got another correction (sorry...). Sasuke 41 should be #44 - Hayate Kajihara. Also, in Sasuke 21, Yuta Adatchi was #69, not #62 (though, he is still the lowest numbered former stage three reacher).

Please, be as pedantic as you like, don’t want to get this wrong, will modify accordingly. |

Had no idea Adachi competed in 21, he was incredible in 17 and I thought that was his only run. |

Sasuke 26 generally had quite a weak field, except for the former Finalists/veterans and All-Stars that were all in the high 80s and 90s. Thanks for the Sasuke 32 correction.

SASUKE 12 should be Arai Kenichi, he wore #62 during that tournament.
My mind forgot he only reach Second Stage.
Also it is interesting to note that SASUKE 25 had strong competitors who previously cleared First Stage mostly on #X9 or #X0, even though it is supposed to be Lottery:
#39 *originally* and #40 had Levi and Takahashi, #49 and #50 had Tajima and Okuyama, #59 and #60 had Iketani Yukio and Hashimoto, #69 and #70 had Brian and Takeda, #79 and #80 had Richard and Lee, and last but not least, #89 and #90 had Kanno and Yamamoto Shingo.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I think they had a separate lottery for veterans and randos, to make sure that the stronger competitors were evenly spread throughout the field. Because obviously if it was a complete lottery from #1-97 you run the risk of all the strong competitors getting low numbers and then the second half of the field is just mundane to watch. Even 18, which was supposed to be a complete lottery from #1-100, ended up with Nagano getting somewhere in the #50-70s but then getting given #96 because the recent champion running mid-Stage 1 didn't make sense. |

Even it was not his wish, he had to be forced to take this number, LOL. I even remember when he picked the number, Shiratori was smiling and right away already point #96 for him, as if he knew that number is reserved for him. To be fair they could easily avoid this by giving Nagano automatic #100 *despite no matter how Rookie you want Nagano to be, he is the person that paved the changes*, but TBS of course make it hard for themselves. |

I think semi-lotteries like they did in 25 is the right way to go. Have the novelty of competitors getting lower or higher numbers than they would to shake things up a bit, but don't run the risk of former champions getting like #10, lol. |

Obviously I would like to see this kind of thing again in the future, though ideally it was done in the next post-Kanzenseiha tournament to keep in theme with the Lotteries done in the past.
