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.
00:27Victory is elusive, and the only constant is the bitter taste of defeat.
00:34This is the ultimate competition of man versus obstacle. Who will top the unbeatable Banzuke?
00:56In this event, athletes bring their mountain bikes into the Temple of Champions to face
01:03nine of the toughest obstacles ever conceived. First, they face the razor-sharp Sawtooth
01:08Hills, followed by the Turntables.
01:10The most difficult obstacle in the event is the highest mountain.
01:15In this event, athletes bring their mountain bikes into the Temple of Champions to face
01:20nine of the toughest obstacles ever conceived.
01:23First, they face the razor-sharp Sawtooth Hills, followed by the Turntables.
01:29First, they face the razor-sharp Sawtooth Hills, followed by the Turntables.
01:33Next, competitors get to decide between two brutal inclines, each with its own challenges,
01:39the steps or the slope.
01:41From there, they must survive the trampoline jump and zip over the rolling rocks.
01:46Those who can vault over the high step will face the inclined plank bridge, a series of
01:51towering pedestals, and finally, the world's most daunting obstacle, Earth itself.
01:57Will this high-stakes ride lead to Heaven on Earth or Hell on Wheels?
02:58The next biker is 19-year-old college student,
03:07Kiminori Koshio.
03:08His specialty is jumping tricks, and he could have plenty of opportunities to show that
03:12off here.
04:28Next to try is 14-year-old Yoichi Amemiya.
04:37His father has been training him on mountain bikes since he was 8.
04:58In front of the Turntable, he drops the speed and lifts it up.
05:02He's showing a variety of tricks.
05:04As expected, Amemiya is in second place in the World Championships Japan Tournament.
05:08He's 14 years old, but he seems to be at a pretty high level.
05:15He's been on a bike trial for 6 years.
05:19Will he be able to ride the wheel well?
05:23Will he be able to ride at this timing?
05:24It's all right.
05:25Now, from there.
05:26From there, he's going to...
05:30Just a little more!
05:31He's out of breath.
05:33The biker is...
05:36Amemiya struggled on the narrow incline, and when his back wheel slipped off, he tumbled down with it.
05:44When Unbeatable Banzuke returns, more Daredevil biking action.
05:48Kids, don't try this at home.
05:56Welcome back to Unbeatable Banzuke.
05:58The course of the new Super Rider is completely impossible.
06:03Each new challenger has appeared and has been forced to fail.
06:08However, there are still a few challengers left.
06:11Today, will someone be able to ride the wheel and add their name to Banzuke?
06:20Next up is Yoshiaki Nomoto, age 9.
06:25His twin brother, Yoshiaki Nomoto.
06:29He's in 4th grade.
06:30His specialty is standing.
06:36He's in a perfect position.
06:37He's waiting for the two whirling disks.
06:40When is he going to go?
06:42He's moving forward.
06:44He got on the first one.
06:46If he gets on the first one, he'll be able to catch up.
06:509-year-old Yoshiaki Nomoto, in 4th grade.
06:53The most important thing is the timing of the next move.
06:57He's on the second one.
06:59He's going to catch up.
07:03I'll do my best.
07:06Next up is 16-year-old Tatsumi Koda.
07:09In his last attempt at Super Rider 2, Koda started out strong.
07:13But when he came to the 5 barrels, he went head over wheels.
07:16This time, with his helmet on tight,
07:18will Koda be able to keep his tires firmly beneath him?
07:222nd year high school student, Tatsumi Koda.
07:25He rented his sister's mountain bike and practiced in the park and on the rocks.
07:31Will he be able to see the results?
07:33He's on the 3rd barrel.
07:35He's on the 3rd barrel.
07:36He's on the 3rd barrel, but it's over.
07:38What a shame.
07:40What a shame.
07:46I'll do my best.
07:49Up next is 22-year-old professional biker, Isamu Hasenaka.
07:53Hasenaka was the only competitor to conquer the first Super Rider.
07:57Now, this champion has returned.
07:59But, much has changed on the course since his victory.
08:05Hasenaka Isamu is once again looking forward to his performance.
08:13He's slowing down, but he doesn't care about the obstacles.
08:21He's trying to keep his balance.
08:24Hasenaka seems to have chosen this slope.
08:31He's keeping his angle.
08:34The bike doesn't move at all.
08:39He's keeping his balance.
08:42He's on the slope.
08:44He's on the slope.
08:46Now, he's riding the bike.
08:49He can feel the power.
08:51Hasenaka Isamu is said to have the best physical ability in the world.
08:56Now, Arizona has overcome the trampoline.
09:02What will Hasenaka do?
09:04Hasenaka Isamu is on the trampoline.
09:07Will he go for the jump?
09:09Or will he land on the trampoline?
09:12Which will he choose?
09:14He did it!
09:15Hasenaka Isamu has overcome the trampoline.
09:19He's on the jumping stone.
09:22The jumping stone has a cushion.
09:25Will he be able to move forward without losing his balance?
09:29He did it!
09:30He did it!
09:31He fell down!
09:33He fell down!
09:36Hasenaka started strong.
09:38But, when his tires reached the rolling rocks,
09:40he was dumped backwards into the drink.
09:43You had a perfect win.
09:46I was expecting that.
09:49I'm disappointed.
09:51The third super rider has kept up its reputation as a punishing event.
09:55None of the fearless young bikers were able to reach the final obstacle,
09:59much less complete the course.
10:01Not even a former champion could survive.
10:03The list of champions remains empty.
10:07The three super riders have not yet been defeated.
10:10None of them have reached the final obstacle.
10:14We have to say goodbye to this event.
10:18Let's see what the second event is.
10:23Coming up, the strangest ride you'll ever take in a wheelbarrow shaped like a cat.
10:32The Cat Ride
10:35Welcome back to the Cat Ride.
10:37The challenge we present today may require some real aptitude.
10:42But, if you don't have the body and the mind,
10:44you won't stand a chance against the challenger.
10:47So, for the next event,
10:49let's have you land with both hands and feet.
10:52The second event is...
10:57The Cat Ride
10:59In this challenge, teams of two must traverse nine unique obstacles
11:03in a wheelbarrow shaped like a cat.
11:06Competitors have 60 seconds to navigate through four obstacles
11:09before reaching the brake zone.
11:11The race begins on the banana turn,
11:13followed by the watermelon ramp.
11:15Competitors must next circle the donut loop
11:18before escaping the mouse trap.
11:20After a rest in the brake zone,
11:22competitors head down the book steps and cross the broken piano.
11:26Then they must climb the slanted path,
11:28navigate the zigzag wall,
11:30and stay balanced across the moving fish ribs.
11:33Competitors will need cat-like agility
11:36and maybe nine lives to survive this course.
11:40The players are Tetsuhiro Kazuno and Aya Tsuma.
11:43Usually, they are involved in a large-scale transportation called the railroad,
11:47but today, they will carry one of their wives.
11:57Let's go!
11:59The start signal and the wife's voice...
12:02It's a big curve all of a sudden.
12:04Go for it, Ikki!
12:06Here comes Ikki's voice!
12:08He speeds up!
12:10The wife...
12:14is upside down from the top of the hill!
12:18Up next will be 61-year-old Sukeo Hiruta and his wife, Hiroko.
12:27They've known each other for 37 years.
12:30Let's take a look at their combination.
12:34Just like always.
12:36I always use a one-wheeled car to get the trash out,
12:39so I thought I'd push it.
12:41The wife is saying something,
12:44but the silent master...
12:47Grandpa, more to the right!
12:49Grandpa, more to the right!
12:51More to the right!
12:53Go straight!
12:55Left, left, left!
12:58The wife is holding the steering wheel.
13:01Slowly, slowly...
13:03He's doing well.
13:05He's getting off the car.
13:07Now, the first lap.
13:09It's going to take a long time.
13:12You can't go too slow.
13:1530 seconds to the break zone.
13:18Can he make it to the break zone in 30 seconds?
13:23All right, all right, all right.
13:25The car is turning inwards.
13:28Is he going to make it?
13:30They've known each other for 37 years.
13:3315 seconds to go!
13:3610 seconds to go!
13:3810 seconds to go!
13:40The ball is coming!
13:42It's a battle against time!
13:44He made it!
13:50With only seconds left to reach the break zone,
13:52Suke Ohiruta hit a bump and tipped the wheelbarrow.
13:55Good luck!
13:57Muscle!
14:00The next couple has plenty of strength to spare.
14:03College students Jun Uehara and Kumiko Iguchi are both bodybuilders.
14:12Go! Go!
14:14They're both bodybuilders.
14:16They're not just bodybuilders.
14:18They're both bodybuilders.
14:24Don't rush!
14:26I can't see.
14:28A little more.
14:30Don't go down!
14:32Don't go down!
14:34Slowly!
14:36Slowly!
14:38Slowly!
14:42To the right!
14:44To the right!
14:46To the right!
14:48Jun Uehara is pushing hard.
14:50He's got a lot of muscle!
14:52He made it!
14:54He made it!
14:56Why are you doing this to me?
14:58I can't believe it!
15:03I can't believe it!
15:06I can't believe it!
15:10When Unbeatable Banzuke returns,
15:12more of the wild event that puts the cat back in catastrophe.
15:24Welcome back to Muscle Banzuke.
15:26In order to conquer a drive with a cat,
15:28you need to have all the characteristics of a cat.
15:31Balance,
15:33elegance,
15:34and curiosity.
15:36An even more challenging couple is waiting.
15:38Who will be the first tiger to leave their name on Banzuke?
15:44Next up is 22-year-old businessman Eiji Saito and his wife, Mutsumi.
15:50The player Eiji Saito and his wife, Mutsumi,
15:53want to clear the game no matter what for the happiness of their family.
16:02She made a loud voice.
16:08It's a banana curve.
16:12She accelerates at once!
16:16She failed to accelerate!
16:21Next to go is boyfriend-girlfriend team Tadahito Matsumura and Riri Sagawa.
16:26Tadahito Matsumura and Riri Sagawa.
16:56Riri Sagawa is calm.
16:58She's got a ball in her hand.
17:03She can't see what's ahead of her.
17:09She made a turn.
17:11Three balls are falling.
17:14She doesn't let the balls distract her.
17:16A little.
17:17A little.
17:19She hits a dynamite at the end!
17:23I'll go to Hawaii, eat macadamia nuts and have a nosebleed.
17:27You did your best!
17:30The final couple today will be master craftsman Osamu Takahashi and his wife Noriko, both 27.
17:40They are confident in their combination no matter what they do.
17:45This couple.
17:47Go!
17:48Go!
17:50She climbed up at once with her wife's voice.
17:53Slowly, slowly.
17:54She's going down this time.
17:55She's holding on.
17:56She's bending.
17:57She's holding on.
17:58Left?
17:59Straight.
18:00She's giving a pretty precise instruction.
18:02She's the wife of the navigator.
18:05The width of the road is 30 cm.
18:07She wants to make a quick turn.
18:10She's a little worried that the tire is on the inside.
18:13She's going to put it back on top.
18:15That's right.
18:16Where is the tire?
18:17Right, right, right.
18:18She can't see the front of the car well.
18:20The navigator has to give a precise instruction.
18:24That's right, that's right.
18:25She's good.
18:26Slowly.
18:27She's good.
18:28She's good.
18:30She made a quick turn.
18:32That's good, that's good.
18:33She has 24 seconds left until the break zone.
18:36Three balls are falling.
18:37If she's careless, she'll be hit by the ball.
18:40But she managed to reach the break zone.
18:45Don't make me laugh.
18:49She's wrapped a towel around her body.
18:51It feels good.
18:52She still has some stamina left.
18:56But it's getting more and more difficult to reach the break zone.
19:00Can I do it?
19:02The cat is meowing for a restart.
19:05She's 15 cm behind her dad.
19:09The only thing she can rely on is the tire.
19:12The tire is on the rattling piano.
19:17That's right, that's right.
19:20She did it smoothly.
19:22And she's leaning diagonally.
19:24She's leaning diagonally.
19:27The angle is 22 degrees.
19:29But it looks like it's almost 45 degrees.
19:34A little more to the right.
19:37The wife is giving instructions.
19:39A little more.
19:41Oh, no.
19:42She's burned.
19:45The cat is still not the winner.
19:48None of the challengers are happy today.
19:51This course may look cute like a kitten.
19:55But it's a little secretive for the challenger.
19:58Let's look back at today's event.
20:03In Super Rider 3, every biker to take the ride ended up hitting the skids.
20:08One by one, they slipped, tipped and toppled off the course.
20:11Even top rider Isamu Hasanaka was knocked out by a careless error.
20:17In Neko to Drive, no couples were able to keep their cart moving through all of the obstacles.
20:22Despite the colorful course, the challenge is tricky.
20:26And no one had the strength and strategy needed to succeed.
20:29No one will add their name to the banzuke for either of these events.
20:34In order to take on these challenges, you need to be brave.
20:38You will be honored if you take on the challenge.
20:42There are always more challenges on the horizon.
20:47The next episode will be on the Kato series.
20:50The champion's door to the electric field is sealed.
