Shoulder Walk ~ Sasuke Ninja Warrior

The Shoulder Walk (ショルダーウォーク) is an obstacle introduced into the Second Stage with the redesign of the course after Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha. The obstacle replaced the Wall Lifting obstacle that had been the last obstacle in Stage 2 for every tournament until and after it. The obstacle is similar to the Galleon obstacle in Viking. Competitors must cross two bridges carrying a yoke on their shoulders that has two cages with balls in them hanging from each end of the yoke, weighing 40kg in total. The bridges have a small gap between them, and the second bridge is offset to the left. The obstacle required strength, balance, and speed. However, since no one failed it, the producers chose to bring back the Wall Lifting obstacle the following tournament.
