SASUKE Vietnam 2

SASUKE Vietnam 2 (also known as SASUKE Vietnam 2016) is the second season of SASUKE/Ninja Warrior format in Vietnam. The show started broadcast from May 19th to September 29th, 2016 on VTV3.

Nguyên Khang returned as the host for his second consecutive season. Thành Trung replaced Lại Văn Sâm as the co-host. Diệp Lâm Anh continued as the sideline reporter for her second consecutive season.

For the first time, the season had more international competitors from USA, UK, Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and Netherlands. Also, it is the first time the show took Tan Hiep Phat Company as the main sponsor of the show.

Just like on the previous season, the Stage One had no time limit, but the rule as only top 40 who completed the Stage 1 course with the fastest time will move on to Stage 2 (Top 20 on Stage 1A and Top 20 on Stage 1B) was removed.

Three competitors completed the Final Stage (David Campbell, Lê Văn Thực and Nguyễn Phước Huynh) thus earning the three of them kanzenseiha. However, since Lê Văn Thực went faster than the other two, he was considered the winner of the show. Also, this tournament became the one with the most competitors to achieve kanzenseiha in a single tournament of any SASUKE/Ninja Warrior format, beating KUNOICHI 8, American Ninja Warrior 7, and Ninja Warrior France 4 at two, until Australian Ninja Warrior 4 most recently.
