Gyakuso Conveyor

The Gyakusō Conveyor (逆走コンベア), called the Reverse Conveyor Belt in English broadcasts, is a Second Stage obstacle from the first thirteen SASUKE tournaments. It is exactly what its name implies: a conveyor belt that a competitor must crawl across running in the opposite direction of the competitor. Used exclusively as a time waster, it only retired two contestants (Atarashii Ichirō & Ueki Shigenori) and was replaced with the Metal Spin, which acquired a reputation as a feared obstacle. This obstacle was also used in several Kinniku Banzuke events.

SASUKE 8 Version

In SASUKE 8 the whole course was showered with a typhoon that unleashed a heavy rain. This caused several obstacles to have trouble functioning. The Gyakuso Conveyor was among them. To prevent the dangers of getting electrically shocked, the belt was turned off, so it didn't move at all, however the rain that had fallen on the belt while it was not moving had left the belt slippery. This caused some competitors to slip and struggle before finally making it to the Wall Lifting.
