Devil Steps

The Devil Steps (デビルステップス) is an obstacle introduced into the Third Stage in SASUKE 19, replacing the Curtain Swing as the third obstacle in the Third Stage. This obstacle is a set of ascending and descending stairs where the competitor must climb under the steps to reach the next obstacle. The competitor must climb upwards first, then reach behind them to reach the steps leading down. Although introduced in SASUKE 19, no one reached the obstacle as all 100 competitors failed by the Second Stage, although TBS teased viewers by showing a tester fail there in the SASUKE 19 opening. Competitors have had good success on the obstacle, with only one failure,Miyazaki Daisuke, in SASUKE 21.

The obstacle was removed in favor of the Floating Boards after Urushihara Yuuji's kanzenseiha, but returned as an obstacle on the Southwest qualifying course during American Ninja Warrior 4.
