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.
00:34This is the ultimate competition of man versus obstacle.
00:38Who will top the unbeatable Banzuke?
00:56Only the strongest will be able to enter the list of Champions of Glory, and that is
01:08Banzuke.
01:09Today, two types of the most difficult events have been prepared.
01:14The first is a course that has been completely eroded again.
01:18It has become so difficult that it has never been done before.
01:26Hand Walk 3.
01:29In this third version of Hand Walk, competitors must cross nine levels of increasing difficulty,
01:34all while walking on their hands.
01:36They begin the challenge on the gravel pile, and then ascend the craggy mountain.
01:41Next they'll work their way down the log ramp and across the moving conveyor belt before
01:45climbing the green incline, all before reaching the brake zone.
01:49They only have 30 seconds to rest before taking a ride on the tram car, and then the suspension
01:55bridge.
01:56Then they face the cascading climb, and finally make their way to the finish line, which rests
02:00atop the volcano.
02:02Time is a factor, so competitors will need to move quickly.
02:06This course is the toughest ever, hands down.
02:12In the second Hand Walk challenge, only one competitor managed to stay balanced throughout
02:16the entire punishing gauntlet.
02:18High school senior Yuki Takahashi demonstrated incredible skill, and he reached the finish
02:22line in record speed.
02:24Now, the course has been redesigned again, and this test of balance is harder than ever.
02:52Next is Yoko Tanaki, a 19-year-old college dancer who's studying jazz.
03:08Next up is 15-year-old Tatsunori Tachibana.
03:38Up next will be Masakazu Mizunuma.
03:48This 18-year-old college student competed in his high school gymnastics championship.
04:08Next to try will be 18-year-old college gymnast Naozumi Masuoka.
04:38With that fall, it's hard to say what took the worst beating, Naozumi Masuoka's body
04:56or his pride.
05:06Next is college student Toshimune Kenmotsu, age 19.
05:37Next will be Takashi Sato, age 18.
05:50He's watched his fellow classmates tumble one after the other.
05:54Can he avoid a similar fate?
06:06He's got confidence.
06:16He's raising his hand to the crowd to start.
06:18How confident is he, Sato?
06:20He's moving forward with ease.
06:22He's keeping his balance well.
06:24He's using his legs well.
06:31He's using his legs well.
06:36He's using his legs.
06:38He's using his legs.
06:41He's using his legs.
06:43The question is...
06:45How will it go?
06:50Good bye.
06:54It's a big deal if I can make it to the break zone.
06:57It's a big deal. It's a big failure.
06:59It's a big failure.
07:24Welcome back to Muscle Banzuke.
07:27The new Hand Walk 3 has become a cruel obstacle.
07:31Until now, no one has been able to reach the first half of the course.
07:36Only a few challengers remain.
07:39Will anyone be able to walk to the end and cross the finish line?
07:47This time, I will do my best not to be fooled by the children of the company.
07:54This is Jotaro Nagayama, age 25.
07:57This gymnastics instructor is no stranger to the Hand Walk Challenge.
08:01But whether it was Heartbreak Hill or the Swirling Water Hazard, he's never found success.
08:06Now the man known as Joe of the Rings will face the toughest course yet.
08:11Jotaro Nagayama.
08:13This is his fifth attempt to walk with the history of Hand Walk.
08:25You can do it!
08:27Jotaro Nagayama is known for his muscle ranking.
08:31This time, he's got something to burn.
08:34He's crossed the stairs of the Swirling Water Hazard.
08:37This is also a rocky climb.
08:39It's unstable where he puts his hands.
08:41You can do it!
08:44He's crossed it!
08:48He's going to descend the bridge of the log.
08:51He's going for the belt conveyor!
08:56He's got it!
08:59He lost to the belt conveyor!
09:05Nagayama made the difficult transition onto the conveyor belt.
09:09But moments later, he lost his balance.
09:11Another crushing defeat for Joe of the Rings.
09:15Next to face the new Hand Walk 3 challenge is Isamu Sato, age 22.
09:20The challenge continues on the difficult course.
09:24This time, the challenger is Isamu Sato, a gym coach at Chukyo University.
09:29I'm proud of his thick wrist, 22cm.
09:33I'm proud of his thick wrist, 22cm.
09:42He said that walking on the bridge is the same as walking on the stairs.
09:46What's going on?
09:48What's going on, coach?
09:51Last to face the brutal course is Akihito Kasamatsu,
09:54a third-year student at Nippon Taiku University.
10:04Go, Akihito!
10:06Akihito is a world-class gymnast.
10:09And his son, Kasamatsu, has lost his balance.
10:15He's 172cm tall and has a great sense of speed.
10:18He's making progress.
10:21He's making progress.
10:23The big point of the first half is this belt conveyor.
10:27He made a good transition.
10:30Go, go, go!
10:32Go, go, go!
10:33Go, go, go!
10:34Go, go, go!
10:35Go, go, go!
10:36Go, go, go!
10:37The break zone is right in front of him.
10:41Kasamatsu was able to make the difficult transition
10:44from the log ramp to the moving conveyor belt without falling.
10:47However, as he reached the green incline, he lost control.
10:51His run ended in a painful headache inches from the break zone.
10:56The competitors gave it their all,
10:58but no one had the upper body strength needed
11:00to endure the new and improved Hand Walk 3 course.
11:03Only a handful cleared the craggy mountain,
11:06and they were quickly and painfully dispatched by the moving conveyor belt.
11:10No one will add their name to the list of champions today.
11:14Hand Walk 3 is an unprecedented level of difficulty.
11:17I could see the pain on everyone's faces as they headed for the course.
11:22And now, the harsh challenge begins.
11:26When Unbeatable Banzuke returns,
11:29a precarious puzzle where gaining momentum is anything but a good thing.
11:34Unbeatable Banzuke
11:41Welcome back to Unbeatable Banzuke.
11:43The champion, Dendou, has returned with a devilish challenge.
11:48It's time for the second event of the day.
11:54Seesaw 60
11:56In this event, teams have only 60 seconds to transfer a heavy barrel
12:00from one side of a large seesaw to the other.
12:03One teammate coaches from a distance to help guide the players.
12:06Then they must both return to the center before time runs out.
12:10If either side of the seesaw touches down, the team is eliminated.
12:15It might look simple, but this massive seesaw is no playground.
12:21I'm going to win! I'm going to win!
12:23I'll do my best!
12:26The first-year students of Keio University,
12:28navigator Oriyama Fukasawa,
12:30are going to overcome the weight difference of 8kg with their Jiri-Ashi strategy.
12:39Keep it up! Keep it up!
12:41Keep it up! Keep it up!
12:44Don't move! Don't move!
12:46He's starting to tilt to the left.
12:50The players are calm.
12:52Keep it up! Keep it up!
12:54He's back to the horizontal position.
12:56If the top of his stomach touches the barrel,
12:59the weight will increase by 10kg at once.
13:01Keep it up! Keep it up!
13:03He's got the barrel!
13:05Now, he has to pass the barrel to the right-hand side.
13:11That was close!
13:14Up next are the muscle men.
13:16They have brawn, but will they use their brains to beat the course?
13:21They have great muscles.
13:23Here comes Hercules from Tokyo University.
13:26The players are Ryota Nishimura and Akihiro Kawano.
13:29They both weigh 77kg.
13:31And the navigator is Tsutsumitaro.
13:34All three of them are going to use their bodies and brains.
13:44To the right! To the right!
13:46He's tilting to the left.
13:48What is this?
13:52The next team is the Kimura family.
13:54They hope that the secret to maintaining the seesaw
13:57is just like maintaining a marriage.
14:00Love.
14:05Keep it up!
14:06He's still holding his hand.
14:09He has to let go of his hand.
14:11Oh no!
14:12Their love ended in 7 seconds.
14:16What was that?
14:18I don't know.
14:21Next to face the seesaw is a group of construction workers.
14:24The players are Yamaguchi and Ito.
14:30Yamaguchi does squats 1,000 times a day.
14:33Ito does push-ups 500 times a day.
14:36The navigator is Oya Hirotsugu.
14:38He's 10cm taller than the players.
14:40Let's see how he does.
14:48Take your time.
14:51Take your time.
14:52He's taking his time.
14:54Take your time.
14:55He's taking his time.
14:57It looks like he's crossing a thin ice.
15:01He's taking his time.
15:05If he's too careful, he won't have time to get the barrel.
15:09He's going up.
15:10Take your time.
15:1730 seconds left.
15:19Yamaguchi!
15:20He's going up.
15:21Yamaguchi is reaching for the barrel.
15:25Is he going to make it?
15:27What a shock!
15:29He's gone.
15:31The end of the month has come.
15:35That was so close.
15:39After a slow start, the construction workers put things into high gear
15:43and couldn't fail faster.
15:50Coming up, more teams take on the Giant Seesaw.
15:54Is there a champion among them?
16:03Welcome back to Muscle Banzuke.
16:05In Seesaw 60, all competitors can't keep their balance.
16:10No one has succeeded yet.
16:13Will anyone be able to add their name to Banzuke?
16:19Up next are members of the Ostrich Club comedy group.
16:22Will they stop joking around long enough to win?
16:26At first, you should move and keep your balance.
16:30I should keep my balance?
16:31Yes.
16:32And you should focus on getting the barrel?
16:34Yes.
16:35The direction is different from mine.
16:39When I get the barrel?
16:40When you want to get the barrel, you have to keep your balance.
16:45Let's do our best.
16:49Let's do our best.
16:51The players are Kado Terakado and Katsuhiro Higo.
16:59Their navigators are Ryuhei Ueshiba.
17:02Will their teamwork be successful?
17:06Let's do our best.
17:08Let's take it slow.
17:11The leader should be more on the outside.
17:13The leader is on the outside.
17:15The leader is on the outside.
17:18When Kado Terakado gets the 10kg barrel, he will attack slowly.
17:23The leader is on the outside.
17:25He's leaning a little bit.
17:27Kado Terakado is moving fast.
17:30He's trying to get the 10kg barrel.
17:33Keep going.
17:34There's still time.
17:36He's moving fast.
17:38It's getting dangerous.
17:40Will he be able to calm down?
17:41There's 30 seconds left.
17:43Will Kado Terakado be able to get the barrel?
17:49He can't let go of the barrel.
17:53There's 15 seconds left.
17:56He can't let go of the barrel.
17:58Higo is the winner.
18:01He failed in the last 7 seconds.
18:05What did you do?
18:08What did you do?
18:10I pushed him.
18:12I told him to go left and right.
18:14I told him to push him.
18:16I told him to push him.
18:20Next is a team of basketball players from Yokohama University.
18:25Go for it!
18:27Go for it!
18:28Ready, go!
18:31He showed a bold move.
18:33He's still okay.
18:34He's still okay.
18:39He showed a bold move.
18:44Next up are stars from the baseball team, the Yakult Swallows.
18:49Will the pros fare better on Seesaw 60?
18:55The battle of 60 seconds.
18:57Will it be long or short?
18:5960 seconds.
19:01He's good.
19:02He's good.
19:03He's leaning towards the top.
19:05But Furuta is in front.
19:07Will he be able to get back his balance?
19:09But he's swaying a little.
19:11There's only a little bit of time left until the barrel.
19:14He's got it.
19:16Furuta sat down for a moment.
19:18He's good.
19:19He's putting his weight on it.
19:21Will he be able to get it?
19:23No way.
19:25This is common sense.
19:26This swing is common sense.
19:27The disc간 consisted from a sudden swing.
19:29He almost makes it, he's doing good.
19:31He's about to make it.
19:33He's got it.
19:35This pump shot is second to none.
19:37There's only a moment of to play left.
19:47The team made the barrel transfer but gravity was simply not on their side.
19:52What a disappointment!
19:55The brave challengers gave it their all,
19:58but no one was able to become the champion.
20:01Now, it's time to look back on the two events.
20:22The challengers fought like warriors,
20:36but they could not win.
20:40There is still time to recover.
20:44There are many challenges ahead.
20:47We will see you next time.
20:50The door to the champion's power is sealed.
