Competitors[]

Unlike on the previous tournament, there were 4 teams competing, with only 4 members in each team. For this tournament, Team Japan returned in the form of Team Asia, with 2 competitors from Japan and 1 competitor each from Vietnam and Indonesia. Also, for the first time ever, Team Europe would not be represented by Tim Shieff and Stefano Ghisolfi.

Among the 4 members of Team USA for this tournament, 3 of them were the last 3 men standing on American Ninja Warrior 9.

Also, among the 4 members of Team Asia for this tournament, all of them had reached the Final Stage/Mount Midoriyama tower of their respective SASUKE/Ninja Warrior tournament, with 2 of them achieving kanzenseiha/total victory (Morimoto Yลซsuke in SASUKE 31 and Lรช Vฤƒn Thแปฑc on SASUKE Vietnam 2).

Competition Format[]

Due to 4 teams competing on this tournament, there were some major changes for the competition format. In fact, all 4 stages were used in this tournament (with no time limit to complete each stage). In the first 3 stages, the competition worked in almost a similar fashion during SASUKE Ninja Warrior Indonesia: International Competition's Speed Challenge (Challenge Stage and Warrior Stage).

  • Stage One and Stage Two
    • There were 2 heats in each stage.
    • Each heat consisted of 4 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
    • In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive 3 points for his team, with 2 points for the second fastest time, 1 point for the third fastest time, and 0 points for the slowest time.
    • At the end of Stage Two, the points from those 2 stages would be accumulated, and the team who got the lowest points would be eliminated from the competition, while the other 3 teams would advance to Stage Three.
    • The points would be reset to zero when the competition entered Stage Three.
  • Stage Three
    • The competition worked almost similar as in the first 2 stages, with 2 heats and each heat consisting of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
    • In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive 2 points for his team, with 1 point for the second fastest time, and 0 points for the slowest time.
    • The points from each heat would be accumulated, and the team who got the lowest points would be eliminated from the competition, while the other 2 teams would advance to Stage Four.
    • The points would be reset to zero when the competition entered Stage Four.
  • Stage Four
    • Stage Four consisted of a side-by-side Rope Climb, with 2 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
    • The competitor who reached the top of the tower in the fastest time would earn the tournament championship for his respective team.
