The '''Giant Swing''' (ジャイアントスイング) is the seventh obstacle of the [[First Stage]], introduced in [[SASUKE 26]]. Competitors must jump from a springboard to grab a giant bar and swing that bar to reach the cargo net. After that, similar to the [[Jump Hang]], competitors must reach the landing platform by climbing up or down the cargo net.

'''Giant Swing''' (ジャイアントスイング) is a [[First Stage]] obstacle originally introduced in [[SASUKE 26]] to replace the [[Circle Slider]] as the seventh obstacle. However, it was relocated to the third position in [[SASUKE 27]]. Competitors must jump onto a springboard to get high enough to grab a giant bar (that would drop as soon as the competitor would apply their weight onto it) and swing on that bar to reach the cargo net. Then, they would have to either climb up or down the cargo net to reach the platform in a similar fashion to [[Slider Jump]], though the cargo net more resembled the height of the Slider Jump in [[SASUKE 22]].
The obstacle was proven to be much easier than its notable counterpart, the [[Slider Jump]], as only one competitor ([[Adam Truesdell]]) failed on this obstacle. However, just like the [[Slider Jump]] in [[SASUKE 23]], the obstacle was served as the time waster. As the result, several competitors who completed the obstacle would later time out at the final obstacle, the [[Rope Ladder]] (e.g. [[Kawahara Takuya]], [[Morikami Daisuke]], and [[Shane Daniels]]).

The obstacle proved to be rather easy, as only one competitor, [[Adam Truesdell]], failed on this obstacle. However, while it was not a Ninja-Killer, it served very efficiently as a time waster, as some competitors like [[Kawahara Takuya]] and [[Morikami Daisuke]] would later time out at [[Rope Ladder]], and with some competitors like [[Paul Kasemir]] and [[Lee En-Chih]] almost timing out too.

The Giant Swing returned in [[SASUKE 27]], as the third obstacle of the [[First Stage]], but has a minor modification.
 
   
  +
In [[SASUKE 27]], the obstacle got a major modification, as the net was removed, meaning competitors now must reach a giant angled platform, and the obstacle was now moved as the third obstacle in the First Stage. The modification and the fact it was attempted earlier than the previous tournament gave this version a lower clear rate than the original version, eliminating twelve competitors, including [[Hioki Masashi]] and [[Enokido Hayato]].
Competitors must jump from a springboard to grab a giant bar, then swing that bar to reach an angled platform (much like the one from the [[Rokudantobi]]).
 
   
  +
Due to [[Urushihara Yuuji]]'s second [[Kanzenseiha]] in SASUKE 27, this obstacle was replaced by the relocated [[Spin Bridge]] in the [[SASUKE 28|following tournament]].
The obstacle took out some of the top competitors and rookies like [[Hioki Masashi]] and [[Enokido Hayato]].

Giant Swing (ジャイアントスイング) is a First Stage obstacle originally introduced in SASUKE 26 to replace the Circle Slider as the seventh obstacle. However, it was relocated to the third position in SASUKE 27. Competitors must jump onto a springboard to get high enough to grab a giant bar (that would drop as soon as the competitor would apply their weight onto it) and swing on that bar to reach the cargo net. Then, they would have to either climb up or down the cargo net to reach the platform in a similar fashion to Slider Jump, though the cargo net more resembled the height of the Slider Jump in SASUKE 22.

The obstacle proved to be rather easy, as only one competitor, Adam Truesdell, failed on this obstacle. However, while it was not a Ninja-Killer, it served very efficiently as a time waster, as some competitors like Kawahara Takuya and Morikami Daisuke would later time out at Rope Ladder, and with some competitors like Paul Kasemir and Lee En-Chih almost timing out too.

In SASUKE 27, the obstacle got a major modification, as the net was removed, meaning competitors now must reach a giant angled platform, and the obstacle was now moved as the third obstacle in the First Stage. The modification and the fact it was attempted earlier than the previous tournament gave this version a lower clear rate than the original version, eliminating twelve competitors, including Hioki Masashi and Enokido Hayato.

Due to Urushihara Yuuji's second Kanzenseiha in SASUKE 27, this obstacle was replaced by the relocated Spin Bridge in the following tournament.

American Ninja Warrior 4's Giant Swing in Stage One

SASUKE 27 version of the Giant Swing appeared as the third obstacle in Stage One in American Ninja Warrior 4, with only 8 out of 93 competitors who attempted this obstacle failing to complete it (including Kelvin Antoine, Tom Hutchman, and Adam Grossman).

SASUKE Vietnam 3's Giant Swing

SASUKE 27 version of Giant Swing, called locally Cú Nhảy Phi Thường (literally Extraordinary Jump), appeared as the fourth obstacle in Stage 1B from SASUKE Vietnam 1 to SASUKE Vietnam 3. However, after landing successfully on the angled platform, competitors must go up instead of going sideways.

The obstacle became significantly more brutal than the one used in SASUKE 27 and American Ninja Warrior 4, as it eliminated 31 out of 80 competitors who attempted it in SASUKE Vietnam 1, making the completion rate in Stage 1B were 61.25%, lower than SASUKE 27.

Giant Swing fail

Lưu Trung Hiếu's funny fail moment, shown in SASUKE Vietnam 1

An interesting attempt of this obstacle happened during Lưu Trung Hiếu's run, as after failing to dismount the first time, he reached back to the bar by mistake and repeatedly swung multiple times before failing the landing once again and eventually falling into the water after 40 seconds of being on the obstacle. Host Nguyễn Khang called this funny moment "a circus performance".

In SASUKE Vietnam 3, the obstacle eliminated Nguyễn Phước Huynh, one of the three competitors who achieved total victory in SASUKE Vietnam 2, when he failed to reach the bar. It also eliminated Lê Văn Đại, when he slipped off the angled platform and fell into the water.

Despite of its decent knock-out rate, as a part of the Stage One's renewal in the new era in SASUKE Vietnam 4, the obstacle was replaced by Jump Hang Kai in the next season.
