Nagano made it to stage 3 in Sasuke 28 and matched the Shin Sedai?
This is an extremely likely scenario as Nagano made it to the wall in great time and it was only poor technique that he corrected after failing that cost him. The only other obstacle that could stop him would be a swap salmon ladder dq but on 28's second stage he would have more time and wouldn't have to go fast like in 30.
So if Nagano made it to stage 3 and tied with the others on the CC jump, how would Inui justify forcefully retiring him if he tied with the competitors who were supposed to be replacing the All Stars? While he went back on his decision before 29, for 28 I imagine he must have been pretty "sure" on it given ratings wise there is little sense in retiring the biggest names on the show.

Probably edited it such that he "set up" the All Stars to retire to make Nagano reaching Stage 3 some massive event or something, backtracking on the notion that retiring them was his actual intention. Which would be baffling given that Nagano literally made Stage 3 in the last tournament. Yeah, Inui wanted to rebrand Sasuke and felt like he needed to cast the new "it" group while retiring the "past their prime" All-Stars, seemingly failing to realise that the All-Stars drove most of the show's popularity and them merely competing for their legacy and contribution to the show is completely viable, even if they were not performing to their previous standards. It didn't help that the majority of them, Nagano included, actually wanted to retire themselves. I believe Takeda was the only one who actively didn't, and Shingo reluctantly agreed with Inui as Inui allegedly positioned this as a non-negotiable condition for Sasuke to continue, which is ridiculous. I also think Shingo had a reasonable shot of reaching Stage 3 had he not failed the Spin Bridge, as he didn't have any issues on the Swap SL in 29 or 30, and the lenient time limit/easier Backstream wouldn't have stopped him. |
