Line 67: * [[Game Show]] * [[Heroic RROD]]: Many of the best contestants have the ability to make it all the way through, but get stuck on something that drains all the strength they have for the later obstacles. * ~[[Hey, It's That Guy!~]]: Quite a few [[Tokusatsu]] actors crop up in this competition, including Kane Kosugi ([[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger\|Ninja Black/Jiraiya]]), Mitsuomi Takahashi ([[Go Go Sentai Boukenger\|Bouken Red/Satoru Akashi]]), Toshiki Kashu ([[Kamen Rider Agito\|Agito/Shoichi Tsugami]]), Kenjiro Ishimaru ([[Kamen Rider Den-O\|Owner]]), Keisuke Kato ([[Kamen Rider Kiva\|Ixa/Keisuke Nago]]) and Masahiro Inoue ([[Kamen Rider Decade\|Decade/Tsukasa Kadoya]]). G4 doesn't tend to show their runs, apparently because ''Sasuke'' draws attention to their Toku roles and copyright issues are involved. However, you can occasionally see them in the audience (in one tournament, Kato and Inoue are sitting next to each other and remarking on other contestants) and they did once show Takahashi run the First Stage, complete with the announcer repeatedly calling him "Bouken Red" (which ''was'' subbed). Kane Kosugi's runs actually are shown, mostly because he was a regular in early seasons (along with his brother Shane) and is better known for action movies than ''Kakuranger''. Likewise Ishimaru, who is one of the oldest competitors to clear the First Stage, and is credited for his travel show and work as a narrator more than being on ''Den-O''. * [[Retroactive Recognition]]: A few ''Ninja Warrior'' fans probably got quite a surprise when Kane Kosugi showed up in the ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' movie as [[Ninja Gaiden\|Ryu Hayabusa]]. Line 106: ** The Japanese name is Title Dropped a lot. * [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: The Sasuke 27 commercial shown Shingo Yamamoto failing a ''brand-new obstacle''. * [[~~Transsexual~~Transsexualism]]: Hibari. * [[True Companions]]: It may be a competition, but the real opponent is the course rather than the other contestants. As a result, regulars like the All-Stars and the up-and-coming young guns have a great deal of respect for and camaraderie with each other. Shown rather touchingly by G4's special detailing Levi Meeuwenberg's training, where he spent a good deal of time with the All-Stars (Makoto Nagano in particular) and all of them were eager to let this person they barely knew into their homes and treat him as one of their own. * [[What Could Have Been]]: Given the surprising performance of the American Ninja Warrior 2 finalists, one must wonder how far Levi Meeuwenburg would've gone [[Real Life Writes the Plot\|had he not]] [[Game-Breaking Injury\|broken his wrist]]. Line 120: [[Category:Game Show]] [[Category:Ninja Warrior]] [[Category:TV Series]]
