The 15th Competition, official name: SASUKE2005真夏 (literally SASUKE 2005 Summer) was the first and only tournament held during the Summer. Temperatures during the tournament reached 34 degrees Celsius, causing a greater effect on stamina, which caused several Soritatsu Kabe time outs. Because of the heat, Shiratori Bunpei suffered from heat exhaustion, causing him to miss when he was supposed to run the First Stage. Instead, he went after #100 Nagano Makoto went. In the Second Stage, there was great success as the first six people cleared. The last person to attempt the Second Stage was Nagano Makoto, who failed the Metal Spin, the stage's only elimination. Despite not being 100%, All-Stars Shiratori Bunpei and Takeda Toshihiro made it the farthest. Takeda, who was suffering from a right shoulder injury, was the last man standing for the first time in his career.
