00:17Welcome to Japan's legendary Temple of Champions,
00:22where athletes gather to face the most difficult challenges ever conceived.
00:28Testing balance, endurance, and sheer strength.

00:37But victory is elusive, and the only constant is the bitter taste of defeat.
00:44This is the ultimate competition of man versus obstacle.
00:48Who will top the Unbeatable Banzuke?
00:52Unbeatable Banzuke
00:56Welcome to Unbeatable Banzuke.
00:59I, Kato Kei, am here to guide you through the Unbeatable Banzuke.
01:03In order to survive more than 20 challenges,
01:06competitors have no choice but to do their best.
01:09Only those who have won can be added to the list.
01:13This is the list of Unbeatable Banzuke champions.
01:16The first challenge is...
01:19Hand Walk 3
01:23Previously in Hand Walk 3,
01:25all the competitors have been undone by the unforgiving obstacles.
01:29Many were defeated by the craggy mountain,
01:31and others by the relentless green incline.
01:3421-year-old Akihiro Kasamatsu managed to go the farthest.
01:37He struggled all the way to the cascading climb,
01:40only to watch his dreams of victory slip painfully away.
01:43Now, more athletes are eager to face the difficult course.
01:46Will anyone have the strength and endurance to join past champions
01:50Yuki Takahashi, Yukio Iketani, and Maizu Nai on the Banzuke?
01:5511-year-old Yoshinobu Kubota
01:59He's a hard-working man.
02:08He's got a solid body.
02:10First, the gravel stairs.
02:12His hands hurt.
02:14Now, the rocks.
02:15He's changing direction on the rocks.
02:17How will he do?
02:19He's climbing up the rocks.
02:21He's unstable.
02:23He failed to keep his balance.
02:27Next will be celebrity Naoki Iketani, age 24.
02:31This all-around athlete previously captained a team in the Banzai 90 event
02:35and led the group to victory.
02:37Can he add his name to the Banzuke a second time?
02:4511-year-old Yoshinobu Kubota
02:48He's got a solid body.
02:52He's got a wristband on his wrists.
02:54Now, he's climbing up the gravel stairs.
02:58He's climbing up the rocks.
03:00It's hard to keep his balance.
03:02He's climbing up the rocks.
03:03Naoki Iketani!
03:05He's climbing up the rocks.
03:08This is a bit of a challenge for him.
03:11Will he be able to keep his balance?
03:13He seems to be fine.
03:14He's shaking.
03:15He's shaking.
03:17He wants to go to the break zone without using his stamina as much as possible.
03:22It's a two-step slope.
03:24The slope is getting steeper.
03:26It's getting steeper.
03:27It's a bit painful.
03:28It's a bit painful.
03:29He's almost at the break zone.
03:30He's almost at the break zone.
03:35His upper body and face are very tense.
03:40It's getting rough.
03:41Naoki Iketani!
03:46It's the second half.
03:47He's using the trolley first.
03:49He's using the trolley first.
03:52Wow, are you okay?
03:54He's holding his breath.
03:56He's struggling quite a bit.
03:59He's struggling quite a bit.
04:01He's going to cross the finish line once again.
04:03He's crossing the finish line once again.
04:04He's crossing the finish line once again.
04:05He's got to hold his breath while the lift's going up.
04:07When the lift goes up, it's a suspension bridge!
04:11It's a suspension bridge!
04:13It's shaking! It's shaking!
04:15Oh, no!
04:16He retired on his feet!
04:20Iketani's strength was depleted by the first half of the course,
04:23and the suspension bridge finished him off.
04:26I knew I could do it.
04:29Next up is Atsushi Kito, a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher.
04:33He has vowed that he will not disappoint his kids today.
04:37He's going to do it!
04:44First, the ball-throwing stairs.
04:47He practiced a lot on the kindergarten stairs,
04:50and the principal was angry with him.
04:52Let's see the results.
04:54Oh, no!
04:55He fell off the railing!
04:56What should we tell the principal?
04:58I'm sorry, Principal.
05:02When unbeatable Banzuke returns,
05:04important hand-walk safety tip.
05:06Don't break your fall with your face.
05:16Welcome back to Unbeatable Banzuke.
05:18The brutal hand-walk 3 course has been crushing today's competitors one by one.
05:23And one by one, more challengers are lining up for their walk around the course.
05:31Next will be 20-year-old Naoki Akiya.
05:33His previous attempt at joining the hand-walk Banzuke came up short.
05:37Despite a strong start, he fell on the suspension bridge.
05:41Will today produce a better result?
05:50Muscles from shoulders to arms.
05:5319-year-old Naoki Akiya has started.
05:56From the ball-throwing stairs to the rocky slope.
05:59He's been training since he was 3.
06:01He's 19 now, but he's been training for 16 years.
06:05Naoki Akiya.
06:07His pace is as fast as we expected.
06:10He fell off the railing.
06:12There's a rocking raft.
06:14It shouldn't be that hard for Akiya.
06:17He cleared the raft.
06:19He's on the slope.
06:20He's going to the break zone.
06:22He's at the break zone.
06:2433 seconds.
06:25He's fast.
06:26He's fast.
06:27As expected, Naoki Akiya is strong.
06:31The second half has started.
06:34He's moving his body to the truck.
06:37The truck is going down the slope.
06:43He's fast.
06:47Is he okay?
06:50What happened to Akiya?
06:52He shouldn't be limping here.
06:54Is he worried about his stamina?
06:57But he cleared the raft.
06:59He cleared the raft.
07:01He's going to the break zone.
07:03He's going to the break zone.
07:09After zooming across the suspension bridge,
07:11he hit the cascading climb with plenty of momentum.
07:14What he didn't have was traction.
07:17The last competitor is Keiichi Nishimura.
07:20This 19-year-old college sophomore
07:22won the Japan Nationals in gymnastics.
07:25Will his strength and skill be a match
07:27for Hand Walk 3's cruel obstacles?
07:31Will Hand Walk 3's glory be in Keiichi Nishimura's hands?
07:41He's got a strong body.
07:42167 cm, 62 kg.
07:46He's been able to climb the stairs without any problems.
07:49He climbed the steep slope like a bulldozer.
07:54He's got plenty of room.
07:56Will he be able to relax and move forward
07:58from the suspension bridge to the break zone?
08:02He's been able to move forward
08:04from the suspension bridge to the break zone.
08:07He's been able to move forward
08:10from the suspension bridge to the break zone.
08:15He's got plenty of room.
08:19He's been able to move forward from the suspension bridge to the break zone.
08:24He's been able to move forward
08:26from the suspension bridge to the break zone.
08:31Keiichi Nishimura has made it to the break zone.
08:33This is where the real challenge begins.
08:35Hand Walk 3 is going to challenge him.
08:38He's got plenty of room.
08:41He's got plenty of room.
08:43He's got plenty of room.
08:45He's got plenty of room.
08:49He's got plenty of room.
08:52He's got plenty of room.
08:54He's got plenty of room.
08:56Keiichi Nishimura
08:58He's got plenty of room.
09:00He's got plenty of room.
09:05He's got plenty of room.
09:07He's got plenty of room.
09:10Yet again, the Hand Walk 3 course remains unbeatable.
09:14With every step, top gymnasts gave their all
09:17only to be felled by the redesigned obstacles.
09:20Keiichi Nishimura was on track to become the first man to succeed
09:24but even he found the final volcano too hot to handle.
09:28No new names will be added to the banzuke today.
09:31To reach the finish line, this challenge is going to need one serious competitor
09:35with supreme balance.
09:39Coming up on Unbeatable Banzuke
09:41The stakes are high, the mountain is steep
09:44and you might want to check your brakes.
09:46Super Rider is next.
09:48Unbeatable Banzuke
09:56Welcome to Unbeatable Banzuke.
09:58True glory is a treasure.
10:00Only the best can dig it up.
10:04Now, let's take our hands off and ride a mountain bike.
10:08Today's second event is...
10:13Super Rider 3
10:15In previous Super Rider 3 events
10:17the ridiculously difficult course
10:19knocked out some of the world's top bikers.
10:21Some got stuck on the trampoline
10:23while others stepped off the edge of the earth.
10:26No one has been able to defeat this version of the course.
10:29College freshman Keigo Arizono made it the farthest
10:32but he came up several yards short of the finish line.
10:35Now he's back for one more try in his quest
10:38to join past Super Rider greats
10:40Isamu Hasanaka and Yaramir Spechne on the list of champions.
10:4513 years ago, he saw the god of bike trials
10:48Terry Girard and started his journey.
10:5137-year-old Jun Kudo
10:53Can he keep the young ones entertained?
10:55He's determined to become an old man rider.
11:0113-year-old Jun Kudo of the bike trials
11:05He's won many championships.
11:10He's careful with the brakes.
11:12First turn table!
11:16Second turn table!
11:19Is he turning?
11:21He made it!
11:25He's moving his body to the left and right
11:27to keep his balance.
11:29He's changing direction.
11:31He chose a slope.
11:36The charm of the bike trials is
11:38that you can do the impossible.
11:40You can forget about the bad things
11:42and go back to being an adult.
11:4413-year-old Jun Kudo
11:52He's on the front wheel and on the rear wheel!
11:55He's going for it!
11:57He's going for it!
11:59Oh, oh, oh!
12:00He's still OK!
12:01Oh, oh, oh!
12:02No!
12:05Up next from the Czech Republic
12:07is pro biker Josef Dressler, age 27.
12:10With 14 years biking experience,
12:12Dressler is ranked number one in the world.
12:14This superstar's skill on a bike
12:16is unprecedented.
12:18But Super Rider 3 has never been completed.
12:21Does this biker have what it takes
12:23to make history today?
12:34He's the man who always comes out
12:36with the strongest spirit!
12:43Before the start,
12:45Dressler asked the gallery
12:47to cheer him on.
12:49He started with a smile.
12:51The Czech Republic's invincible superstar,
12:53Dressler.
12:55As expected of his skills.
13:00Since 1992,
13:02Dressler has been competing
13:04in international competitions
13:06for 7 years in a row.
13:08His special skills
13:11have made it to the top of the hill.
13:17Now, the trampoline.
13:19Will he land on the trampoline?
13:21Or will he land directly
13:23on the rock?
13:25The Czech Republic's superstar,
13:27Dressler.
13:29This is a world-class
13:31decision.
13:33He's carefully determining the point
13:35and the position of the front wheel.
13:38A little bit lower.
13:40Oh, he landed on the back wheel!
13:44With precise calculations,
13:46he breaks through the trampoline.
13:48And he's shaking!
13:50The superstar
13:52splashes water!
13:55The longer bikers remain
13:57on the rolling rocks,
13:59the more chances they have
14:01of toppling to the ground.
14:03Unfortunately, the world champion
14:05has to go the hard way.
14:07It was a stupid mistake.
14:09Yeah.
14:13When Unbeatable Banzuke returns,
14:15Keigo Arizono has toppled off the earth
14:17twice before.
14:19Now he's back to make the world
14:21his own personal bike path.
14:29Welcome back to Unbeatable Banzuke.
14:31In Super Rider 3,
14:33all who dared to face the course
14:35failed.
14:37Even a world-ranked biker was unable to avoid
14:39a tragic fall.
14:41Now, one final rider sees the door
14:43to victory wide open.
14:45The day's last competitor
14:47is 20-year-old Keigo Arizono.
14:49This college freshman has faced
14:51Super Rider 3 on three different
14:53occasions. And while he has reached
14:55the final obstacle twice,
14:57the earth has continued to thwart his success.
14:59Now, he has returned
15:01once again, and this time he's determined
15:03to conquer the entire course.
15:05Will he make history today
15:07and at last earn a spot
15:09on the Banzuke?
15:31Arizono
15:33turns the pedals around
15:35and climbs up the slope.
15:37He climbs up the slope with all his might.
15:39Arizono's power is hidden
15:41in this area.
15:43And now,
15:45he's determined to descend.
15:47Will he be able to break through
15:49the trampoline? He has!
15:51He has overcome this area
15:53just like Ushiwakamaru.
15:55He's going over it with ease.
15:57How will he attack the rock?
15:59Kick, kick, kick, kick!
16:01He passes in front of the gallery.
16:03He's fixed his helmet.
16:05The step is 105 cm.
16:07If he goes over the step of 105 cm,
16:09he will gradually
16:11climb up this difficult zone.
16:13He's gone over the step.
16:15And now,
16:17you can see
16:19Keigo Arizono's
16:21true spirit.
16:23He's at the edge
16:25of 15 cm.
16:27The sound of the brakes
16:29is echoing.
16:31In his mind,
16:33there should be a map of his
16:35goal. Keigo Arizono
16:37descends
16:39on the front wheel.
16:41He's doing well.
16:43He climbs up the pedal.
16:45And now, he's at the
16:47air-jumping stone.
16:49He's at the high air-jumping stone.
16:51It's Ushiwakamaru again.
16:53Ushiwakamaru's bike trial
16:55is 160 cm.
16:57Ushiwakamaru is flying!
17:01Ushiwakamaru has come to the Earth.
17:03He has come to the space.
17:05Ushiwakamaru,
17:07who used to fly on the bridge of Kyoto,
17:09is now trying to
17:11ride on the Earth.
17:13Will he be able to
17:15control the Earth and reach the goal?
17:17Arizono retired
17:19in this area last time.
17:21He won't make the same mistake again.
17:23He's at the air-jumping stone.
17:25He climbs up the pedal.
17:27First of all,
17:29he's making his posture.
17:31What kind of posture will he use
17:33to control the Earth?
17:35It's difficult to
17:37balance on the Earth.
17:39Arizono is
17:41turning his bike
17:43in the opposite direction
17:45from the goal.
17:47He's been thinking a lot
17:49while riding on the pedal.
17:51Arizono is
17:53trying to control the Earth.
17:55It's difficult to control the speed.
17:57It's difficult even if it's too slow.
17:59If it's too fast,
18:01both bikes will fall.
18:03He's leaving a little space.
18:05He stops again when he goes
18:07one meter ahead.
18:09He stops again when he goes
18:11one meter ahead.
18:13He's turning well.
18:15He's gone about one-third of the way.
18:17He hasn't reached the goal yet.
18:19He's about seven meters ahead.
18:21Arizono is controlling
18:23his mountain bike
18:25in the opposite direction.
18:27He's almost in the middle.
18:29He hasn't reached the goal yet.
18:31Will Arizono
18:33reach the goal
18:35for the first time?
18:37He's about three meters ahead.
18:39He's about three meters ahead.
18:41Arizono is
18:43in the back.
18:45Arizono is called
18:47the champion of reality.
18:49He's about to reach the goal.
18:51He's controlling the Earth.
18:53He's changing direction.
18:55How can I get off?
18:57He's changing direction.
18:59It looks easy,
19:01but he's using a lot of stamina.
19:03He's in a hurry
19:05to reach the goal.
19:07He's trying to change
19:09the direction of the bike
19:11slowly.
19:13He's on the light blue platform.
19:15How can I get on?
19:17He's trying to keep the balance.
19:19He's on the platform.
19:21He's on the platform.
19:23He's about to reach the goal.
19:25He's about to reach the goal.
19:27He's about to reach the goal.
19:29Arizono Keigo
19:31Ushiwakamaru did it.
19:33Arizono Keigo
19:35Ushiwakamaru
19:37Ushiwakamaru
19:39Ushiwakamaru
19:41Ushiwakamaru
19:43Let's take a look at today's two events.
19:45Let's check the Banzuke.
19:49In Hand Walk 3,
19:51competitors gave it their all,
19:53but it still wasn't enough to achieve victory.
19:55Keiichi Nishimura made it to the final obstacle,
19:57but even his strength gave way
19:59while climbing the volcano.
20:01No one has ever defeated this course,
20:03and no new names will be added
20:05to the Banzuke
20:07alongside previous champions in this event.
20:09In Super Rider 3,
20:11the event many believed was unbeatable
20:13has finally been defeated.
20:15Demonstrating immeasurable bike skills,
20:1720-year-old Keigo Arizono
20:19traversed the brutal obstacles
20:21and reached the finish.
20:23His worldly success
20:25earns him a coveted spot
20:27on the Super Rider 3 Banzuke.
20:29Arizono Keigo is not just a rider.
20:31He is not just a super rider.
20:33He is the eternal champion.
20:35His brilliant bike
20:37will destroy Banzuke
20:39in the next Banzuke.
20:41However,
20:43there is a new obstacle
20:45waiting for the challenger.
20:47Until next time,
20:49I'm Keiichi Nishimura,
