SASUKE 26!!

PART TWO

(PART ONE)

Sasuke spoilerific review ;) Warning.. incoming blog of Sasuke 26.. if you don’t want to know.. you have been warned :D Thanks to everyone for being so patient. Got sick with cluster headaches again this year.. not during Sasuke 26 but just right after.. so this blog is late .. Anyway.. For a preview of this event.. Please see SASUKE 26 NAVI 1 hour review of Sasuke 26 with fluff pieces of all the major players in the upcoming Sasuke and even a couple of runs that were cut from the official broadcast!. Oh.. and as Ube says: If you are from the G4 Forums, DON'T POST THIS THERE. They expect everyone to stick their head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.. P.S. I will NOT be covering ANW2 on this blog. Thanks!

UBE'S Sorta-LIVE-BLOG FOR SASUKE 26 IS HERE!

(Massive thanks to Ube for his help on the names in English and Japanese of all the competitors!!)

And we are back from commercials with Hideo Tokoro 所英男

Wow that was quick.. he went face forward and gained too much momentum in that direction.. wasn't even close to grabbing the rope!

Hideo Tokoro 所英男 - Death by Step Slider

Oh.. Minowaman ミノワマン is not pleased..

LOL that gets a tongue stick out from Shingo.. and apparently next to Shingo.. Yamada gains some emotion!

Hideo Tokoro 所英男 still in shock

Next we have .. wait.. no live Octopus? David Campbell must be pleased!

The Leader of the Dynamic Trio of Death!!!
Mr. Octopus (Tako Tencho (btw Tako is Japanese for "Octopus" and Tencho 店長 means "Store manager")) - Minoru Kuramochi 倉持稔

Even the ANW guys are changing TAKO TENCHO TAKO TENCHO!

Ah yes.. the infamous face sucking incident from Sasuke 22 that actually seemed to have caused him to switch to Octopus props and not real live octopus as props...

Ooooooh TBS cracking out the CHART! Rolling along as they show how far he's gotten.. more like.. how many obstacles has he actually cleared.. LOL

LOL I feel like I'm watching a Yamada reel...

Wait.. he's passed some obstacles before! LOL

But has been inconsistent.. no wait.. pretty consistent if you look at it differently..

You know TBS was going to use this crack shot.. LOL

Where will he fail next?? LOL TBS can be so cruel sometimes..

Meanwhile Octopus Gumbie is at the start line!

Oh boy.. we start off the same.. he is stopping halfway through..

Trying to regain his balance.. this time he's clothed so it's not as blinding..

Oh.. he's already doing better than some contestants! He's .. going for the rope!!!

OMG he caught it! LOL!!!!

NO wait.. hang on.. put away your noise makers.. he hasn't passed it yet..

YES!!...

.. no.. wtf.. LOL

YES!!!!!!...

Aahahahah NO!!!!!!!!

OMG he finally made it! LOL!!!!

And the crowd goes wild!!

ANW approves!

LMFAO he's motioning to his adoring audience!!

LOL he stops.. he's already tired! Oy.. I already lost the bet.. I thought he'd be annihilated by the rope.. this is all bonus :p

And he's on the swing.. going to be painful when he falls off this one...

And he's swinging..

Higher.. and higher.. and higher.. LOL

After about 20 seconds.. LOL he reaches out..

PSYCHE! LOL NOPE he swings more!

And he's off! He's at least TOUCHED the bar...

OMG HE PASSED THE HAZARD SWING!!!!!!!!

LMFAO AND HE COLLAPSES!!!!

People are birthing kittens as they enjoy this display of courage!

Holy crap Yamada has a soul.... I guess the vacation helped...

ANW guys losing their marbles as well! Especially Tako Ninja.. person.. caller.. thing..
(Rider says his name is Adam Truesdell)

Okay I'll eat my shoe if he passes this.. LMFAO!!!!!!!

Nope.. fairy dust ran out..

Oh I hope he didn't hurt himself...

.. okay Yamada shouldn't be enjoying this.. LOL J/K check out Shinya and Ryo having way too much fun over the right side there...

LOL everyone is enjoying the demise...

Tako Ninja caller guy has officially died..

"SO CLOSE!!!" Dude you totally said what I was thinking..

Awesome run for the man.. seriously I was totally cheering for him!

Here is where I thought he was totally buying the farm..

Dude is a lot stronger than I gave him credit for! LOL

The fact that he was ALMOST at the end astounded me!!
