The clip that started it all

If you've been following our blog, you've probably already seen the famous clip from Ninja Warrior USA vs Japan, where Matachi Ryo takes on Stage 3. Since this clip is what started our obsession, we decided that we should take a closer look at it.

Haven't seen it before? No prob, here you go, feast your eyes!

In Stage 3 they had the following obstacles:

1. Roulette Cylinder

2. Doorknob Grasper

3. Floating Boards

4. Ultimate Cliffhanger

5. Bungee Rope Climb

6. Hang Climbing

7. Spider Flip

8. Flying Bar

(Can I just point out that Matachi Ryo's only ever done Ultimate Cliffhanger and Bungee Rope Climb in Sasuke before? At least according to my findings on Sasukepedia ...)

I mean, these obstacles are INSANE. Even Ezio has more to hold on to in Assassin's Creed II, for crying out loud!
