Finally! After 5 weeks of waiting (they taped in February.. /cry) it's Sasuke 25! Navi!
It's that time again! This is Sasuke Navi - which is a 1 hour special promoting Sasuke 25! Previous Sasuke Navi's can always be found on my site (Sasuke 24, Sasuke Navi 23, Sasuke Navi 22 and Sasuke Navi 21) With better coordination this time I have to really give lots of thanks to a few fans willing to help stream paid service (WIST). Thanks to the livestreamers and thanks to Jason for helping us with the stream! Everyone online at that time was able to see it thanks to their help! It's wonderful seeing everyone support each other in viewing Sasuke.
Wow that was quick.. they are going to go through the first stage and we didn't even have to wait! LOL
Bridge Jump ブリッジジャンプ .. it is comprised of a couple swings and then a rope in the middle that you have to jump to.
Ha! I should have made a bet.. ehem.. 6th obstacle is Soritatsu Kabe そり立つ壁 or as G4 calls it "The Warped Wall"
And because someone in M9 is sadistic by doing trampoline and this badboy the springboard... in the same stage.. LOL
Circle Slider サークルスライダー is a ring suspended in the air that you can reach if you jump off the springboard correctly. Follow the ring down the path to get to the mat on the other side.
Which connects to the 9th obstacle the Rope Ladder ロープラダー which I affectionately call the Rope Wall :p
Wow.. upgrade to the Salmon Ladder.. by doing TWO of them.. this is called the Double Salmon Ladder ダブルサーモンラダー
Double Salmon Ladder ダブルサーモンラダー starts on one side.. (hard to tell but there is a figure on the right of the salmon ladder .. you mount it on the back side of the obstacle)
Double Salmon Ladder ダブルサーモンラダー requires you to JUMP WITH THE POLE by turning around and landing on the other side to complete the rest of the obstacle.. (again.. small picture I apologize)
The top part remains the same.. the 3rd obstacle and mounting is identical to Sasuke 24 - the Unstable Bridge アンステーブルブリッジ
Hmm I'll wait to blog to see if anyone made it to the 3rd stage (cough they did already spoil that.. but I'm being good!!)
which apparently connects directly to the door knobs.. called.. you guess it.. Doorknob Grasper ドアノブグラスパー
And from the commercial as well.. they married the pipe slider bar with the jumping bars to finish the end apparently. I see the green bar of safety!
Okay and this is where I get an aneurysm.. 47 prefectures and because I can't leave well enough alone we are about to have a geography lesson! Whoot! Actually I don't mind because I find this really cool :)
I will have to edit names in later to speed this up while I wait for official competitor list to be translated
Wow they do take all kinds of entries. This one a long letter and what appears to be a video camera tape
LOL This guy had his students all chanting while he slid across them (they are all standing in sand) then he gets up in front of the camera to introduce himself.
The format to Sasuke Trials is quite different than those in the past.. btw.. they wrapped around the block around the TBS main building.
After warming up the 120 were broken up into groups of 30 and there were 5 events
There was 1500 meter run on a course that went up and down (you know TBS has to use that BMX course in Midoriyama somehow.. LOL)
There was 1500 meter run on a course that went up and down (you know TBS has to use that BMX course in Midoriyama somehow.. LOL)
This was .. what do they call these.. short sprints? They are in a room.. gah there's a name for it by my brain is blocking it out..
Thanks Sessfan! It's called the Shuttle Run
Thanks Sessfan! It's called the Shuttle Run
Again.. will edit his name later.. The prefectures alone are slowing this blog down for me LOL (btw they showed him playing hackysack after this)
We are back at the line again and they are showing the other portion of Trials that did not include actual physical aptitude
Here is what I call the wildcard positions. Competitors chosen by a 5 minute performance segment in front of a judge
Time to take a tour again! Staying in the Chūbu Region of Japan we are at the Prefecture of Shizuoka 静岡県
Sorry.. it's about time.. FINALLY we see him return to Sasuke. Okay.. for those who don't know who this is and follow my blog.. SHAME on on you.. ehem.. This is Ryo Matachi 又地諒 (better known as #2 Cliffer)
Aahahahahah he's smiling because he TRAINED LIKE CRAZY for this event! Wow.. he won the competition by doing 42 pull ups. LOL
Ryo Matachi 又地諒 (#2 Cliffer) talking about how if he continued the training he was doing at the pace that he has his results will show that maybe he could pass stage 1 (which is what he wants).
If ya'll remember when I blogged about this (this is Sasuke 21 Trials that ran during the summer of 2008)
He was in the group that represented the All-Stars - his was Bunpei and we went down in the .. oh oh.. he went down in the Circle Slider!
YAY WE GET TO SEE BUNPEI!!!! Hmm.. this is the 2nd time they tie him to Bunpei.. what is the connection? Do they .. well.. they all kinda know each other by now..
I have no idea what they are discussing here but I assume he's telling him he's FINALLY in the Sasuke.
All-Star Bunpei Shiratori 白鳥文平 speaking and I don't care what he is saying.. IT'S BUNPEI! PLEASE get well soon we MISS YOU!!

OMG.... BUNPEI-NESS!!!
Bless you, child. Bless you.
Good to see Bunpei. He's still having trouble with his knee? I'll remember to pray for him. I've been praying for him for his back. I didn't know he was still having problems with his knee. I'll keep praying for him.
*bows to the wonderfulness that is Elsie and kisses your feet*
You are the bomb. Thanks for oing these.
Yeah I was pretty shocked to see him in Navi but it did answer the question on how he's doing. Not sure what happened.. maybe surgery? If so it's going to be a while for him to come back :(
Your comments are superb, Arsenette! As usual, mind you! :)
1. Great Navi commentary & pics! :)
2. The new proposed sideways Kabe kicks ass! LOVED IT! Is it even humanly possible? Maybe the reason the idea was dropped cause even testers can't do it. Think about it...that new Kabe could be the
stage 1 version of cliff-hanger. :)
3. Nice to see Bunpei. Not so nice that he is still injured. :(
