Kanzenseiha ~ Sasuke Ninja Warrior

Kanzenseiha（完全制覇）, called 'Total Victory' on English broadcasts, is achieved when a SASUKE competitor is able to clear the Final Stage in the set time limit. To date, Kanzenseiha has only been achieved 4 times by 3 people in SASUKE History.

Successful Kanzenseiha

Akiyama Kazuhiko, SASUKE 4. Akiyama had competed twice earlier, but ultimately timed out on the Second Stage. He was finally able to clear the second stage, but reached trouble in the Third Stage. Because five people had cleared the Third Stage in the previous tournament, the stage was completely redesigned. The Pipe Slider was changed so that the competitor would have to swing to the platform rather than just touch down. Akiyama slipped off of the platform, but hung on using his arms and was able to pull himself up to the goal mat. The Final Stage at the time was a 15 meter rope climb in 30 seconds, which Akiyama finished in a mere 24 seconds, earning the first ever kanzenseiha.

Nagano Makoto, SASUKE 17. Nagano had made it to the Final Stage three times earlier in SASUKEs 11, 12, and 13. In SASUKE 12, he was just 0.11 seconds away from achieving kanzenseiha. However, he blazed through the first three stages and cleared the Final Stage, a 12.5 meter Spider Climb and a 10 meter Rope Climb with 2.56 seconds on the clock.

Urushihara Yuuji, SASUKE 24. After Nagano's victory, the course was completely redesigned, retaining only four old obstacles. This new era, "Shin-SASUKE", was designed to eliminate all 100 competitors in the first stage. However, as time progressed, more and more people cleared the First Stage. In his first four tournaments, Urushihara cleared the First Stage three times and the Third Stage twice. After barely failing the G-Rope in SASUKE 22, Urushihara rigorously trained his rope climbing, and when he had 21 seconds to climb the 10 meter rope, his training paid off as he cleared it with 3.57 seconds to spare.

Urushihara Yuuji, SASUKE 27. After Urushihara's first victory, the first and second stages underwent minor changes, but the Third Stage was entirely redesigned. For the first two tournaments, all eight competitors who attempted the Ultimate Cliffhanger were defeated. In SASUKE 27, however, the Third Stage was modified so as to make the first half easier but the second half more difficult. This proved to be an advantage for Urushihara, who became the third to defeat the Ultimate Cliffhanger and defeated the entire Third Stage course. The Final Stage was a 20 meter rope climb in 40 seconds; however, unlike the original Final Stage, competitors were allowed to start from a standing position. After fellow Unlimited Cliffhanger member Matachi Ryo failed, Urushihara put his rope climbing skills to good use, clearing the new Final Stage with a record 6.71 seconds to spare, earning his second kanzenseiha.

Close Encounters

Tanaka Hikaru, SASUKE 2. In his rookie effort Tanaka managed to beat the first three stages with little trouble, but in the Final Stage he timed out a few feet away from kanzenseiha.
Yamamoto Shingo, SASUKE 3. In Yamamoto's third appearance he managed to beat the Pipe Slider that took him down last time and he managed to climb the rope, but he ran out of time about 1 meter away from the button.
Yamada Katsumi, SASUKE 3. In Yamada's only appearance in the Final Stage, he came up just short of the buzzer. Yamada only used his arms for the first five meters but clearly had a faster pace when instituting his legs. He was one of five to take on the Final Stage that day and by far was the closest.
Kane Kosugi, SASUKE 8. Kosugi joined Jordan Jovtchev in the Final Stage. A heavy downpour had hit Midoriyama that day, and it was still raining during the Final Stage. Kosugi struggled on the slippery Spider Climb but made up ground on the rope, but still fell short. Many believe that had the weather stayed dry, Kosugi would have achieved kanzenseiha. This was his final appearance on SASUKE.
Shiratori Bunpei, SASUKE 12. Shiratori cleared the Spider Climb with an excellent pace, but struggled on the early part of the rope. When he began using his legs to assist him, he flew up the rope. Although he timed out, he would have achieved kanzenseiha had he kept the pace from using his legs.
Nagano Makoto, SASUKE 12. Nagano had a blistering pace while climbing the Final Stage, and was eye-level as time was running out. However, the rope swung away from the buzzer, and as Nagano reached out to press it he came short and time ran out. Officially, he was 0.11 seconds late of hitting the buzzer. The course was moderately redesigned after this, and the SASUKE Trials were introduced as a result.
Nagano Makoto, SASUKE 13. On Nagano's third try at the Final Stage, he ran out of time once more. Upon timing out, Nagano reached for the buzzer. He fell a few inches short and dropped to the bottom.
Urushihara Yuuji, SASUKE 22. Urushihara had only competed once before, failing the First Stage's Flying Chute. However he was able to conquer Shin-SASUKE's Third Stage for the first time ever and as such was the first to take on the third incarnation of the Final Stage. He reached the G-Rope with 28 seconds to spare, but came just inches short of the buzzer.
Nagano Makoto, SASUKE 23. Nagano was able to scale the entire tower and was eye level with the buzzer as time expired. However, after Urushihara's close call in the previous tournament, the time limit was reduced from 45 seconds to 40 seconds. If the time limit had stayed 45 seconds, Nagano would have achieved kanzenseiha.
Hashimoto Koji, SASUKE 24. After failing the first rung of the Salmon Ladder in the previous tournament, Hashimoto cleared the first three stages in SASUKE 24. In the Final Stage, he was slow on the Heavenly Ladder but made up ground on the G-Rope. He reached for the button as time expired but did not hit it in time.
Takahashi Kenji, SASUKE 24. Takahashi had a great pace on the Heavenly Ladder, but on the G-Rope he was twisting up the rope and as a result had to stop to untangle his support wire.
Matachi Ryo, SASUKE 27. In Matachi's first three attempts he went out in Stage 1. The fourth time was the charm as he finished the First Stage. Continuing his unlikely run he managed to beat the Second and Third Stages on his first try. He and fellow cliffer Urushihara were the only two to reach the finals. Ryo climbed quickly at first, but started to tire and timed out about 6 feet away from the buzzer. However his performance pushed fellow cliffer Urushihara to achieve a second Kanzenseiha.
