00:00Welcome to Japan's legendary Temple of Champions, where athletes gather to face the most difficult

00:14challenges ever conceived.

00:17Testing balance, endurance, and sheer strength, competitors have one goal, beat the course.

00:26Victory is elusive, and the only constant is the bitter taste of defeat.

00:33This is the ultimate competition of man versus obstacle.

00:38Who will top the unbeatable Banzuke?

00:56The

01:21temple has been configured with an obstacle course that demands perfect balance and total

01:25concentration.

01:27Competitors must cross 8 levels of increasing difficulty.

01:30They start on a level platform and proceed to the parallel bars.

01:34Next they face the stairway to heaven, followed by the bottomless ravine.

01:38Then they'll cross the devil's double bridge to reach the break zone.

01:42They only have 30 seconds to rest before taking on the craggy mountain, and then the stairway

01:47to hell.

01:49Then comes heartbreak hill, and finally, the single bridge to victory.

01:53Time is a factor, so competitors will need to move quickly.

02:53The next challenger is Yukio Iketani.

03:07This Olympic medalist has studied the hand walk course.

03:10In the past, he has climbed the 280 steps of Tokyo Tower on his hands, and has also

03:15crossed a flexible suspension bridge.

03:18Will all of his previous experience help him become the first competitor to clear the entire

03:23course?

04:23The

04:46Olympian made it halfway up heartbreak hill, but in the end, Iketani, like all the others,

04:51was humbled by the course.

04:55Next is Masanori Kojima.

04:57He has an impressive gymnastics resume, but he must overcome several nagging injuries

05:02to win today.

05:46Next up is Hayato Osoigawa.

06:15He's one of the most well-liked competitors, but will the course smile on him?

06:41The hand walk course has yet to be conquered.

06:54Not even Olympic medalist Yukio Iketani had the strength to overcome all eight obstacles.

07:00Heartbreak hill requires a combination of strength, balance, and unbelievable endurance.

07:05Today, no one had it.

07:29When unbeatable Banzuke returns, grab a good luck charm and a sledgehammer.

07:35Are you feeling lucky?

07:59A large Daruma is balanced precariously atop nine cylindrical blocks.

08:04Challengers must swing a hammer to knock each block free from the bottom up.

08:08Each challenger has a partner to give them strategy and advice, but they'll need to plan

08:13carefully.

08:14If the Daruma topples, then the game is over.

08:18The Daruma 7 challenge was a difficult puzzle, but Yuichi Fukaya found the perfect combination

08:23of strategy and execution.

08:26He stands alone on the list of Daruma champions, but now the tower has been made taller.

08:32A deceptively simple two extra blocks has doubled the degree of difficulty.

09:02Next up is Kenji Kameda and Shinya Kasai.

09:30Together these two work as public engineers.

09:32Will their experience swinging a hammer help them construct a victory in Super Daruma?

09:55Next to face the Super Daruma is Tatsuo Yasumitsu and his advisor Kohei Mizuta.

10:00Together, these training instructors have faced many challenges, but are they prepared

10:35The Daruma seemed to cling to the edge, with Yasumitsu's fate hanging in the balance.

10:49Finally though, his hopes came crashing down.

10:54Next up is Tetsuya Okabe, the first Japanese soccer player to receive a medal in the World

10:58Cup.

10:59Super Daruma is a long way from soccer.

11:02Will he manage to score?

11:30Next to take a swing at Super Daruma are lacrosse teammates Kaoru Sasaki and Koichi

11:34Umemura.

11:35Will they net a victory today?

11:46Next up are construction workers Kuninori Tsushima and Masayuki Nakamura.

11:50They are used to building houses, but will they be able to keep this tower standing?

12:14Order up for chefs Naoji Aoki and Yuichiro Hanaki.

12:18Can these two top chefs withstand the heat and cook up a recipe for success?

12:48Next up are construction workers Kuninori Tsushima and Masayuki Nakamura.

12:55They are used to building houses, but will they be able to keep this tower standing?

12:58Next up are construction workers Kuninori Tsushima and Masayuki Nakamura.

12:59They are used to building houses, but will they be able to keep this tower standing?

13:00The newly redesigned Super Daruma proved to be anything but lucky.

13:26Many competitors picked up the sledgehammer and swung for victory.

13:29The best anyone could do was knock out a single block.

13:33It will take a perfect run to conquer this challenge.

13:55When Unbeatable Banzuke returns, strap on your stilts.

13:59Completing the next course is one tall order.

14:25The course is made up of nine obstacles.

14:35First competitors must face the checkerboard, and then cross the stepping stones.

14:41Next they ascend the stairs and traverse the precarious suspension bridge.

14:46Then they descend the narrow steps of the down staircase and enter the Hall of Hammers.

14:53Those that survived this far next face the water trench, and then the log pile.

14:59Finally they must cross the S-curve to reach the finish line.

15:23Next to go is this clown, Terayuki Maezawa.

15:42Will he be a serious threat to win this event?

16:10After losing his balance, the clown stepped off the course and went face down.

16:16Next to go is Seji Takase, a stuntman by trade.

16:20He'll need to avoid a fall if he wants to succeed here.

16:40Takase looks nimble as he began the stepping stones.

16:58But all it took was one wrong step, and he was doing an unexpected stunt.

17:04Two men out, but Bamboo Derby is just getting started.

17:08Remember, the taller you are, the harder you fall.

17:12Next up is action star Shinji Matsumoto.

17:40Will he deliver an all-star performance on the course?

18:10The stepping stones have toppled another challenger.

18:24The final stilt racer is Ryota Nagai.

18:28He claims he can pick up a handkerchief while on stilts.

18:31Will his sure-footed balance take him to the finish line?

19:01The stepping stones have toppled another challenger.

19:11Next to go is Keisha.

19:13He'll need to avoid a fall if he wants to succeed here.

19:15Will he deliver an all-star performance on the course?

19:41Young Ryota Nagai looked wobbly on the suspension bridge,

19:44but it was the narrow steps that sent him flailing.

20:04In the hand walk challenge, every single competitor failed to reach the finish.

20:09Olympic medalist Yukio Iketani muscled his way the farthest,

20:12but even he was no match for this brutal course.

20:16In the Super Daruma, the redesigned tower was too precarious to beat.

20:20Many tried, but no champions rose to the occasion.

20:24In the new Bamboo Derby event,

20:26no one had the skills needed to avoid a painful fall on the course.

20:30The day was full of valiant efforts,

20:33but no new names will be added to the banzuke,

20:36the list of champions.

20:38This time, the unrivaled champion did not appear.

20:42However, do not worry.

20:44The competition has just begun.

20:46There will be even more surprising and difficult challenges.

20:50This has been Kato Kei.

20:53Until next time, the doors to the champion's power are sealed.
