This year’s Sasuke 22 (Ninja Warrior in the US) was one of the most exciting competitions of all time. Yuuji Urushihara, the humble shoe salesman, was mere seconds away from making Sasuke history! It seems the tides are turning with the well-known Sasuke All-Star veterans being tallied out early in the first round of competitions, making way for a new crop of talent and physical prowess. I eagerly await next year’s event.
Below is Sasuke legend Makoto Nagano attempting the newly revised, increasingly difficult stage one.
