KUNOICHI 2 (officially,「KUNOICHI2002冬」, literally KUNOICHI 2002 Winter, as well as KUNOICHI First Snow Queen Birth and Taikku World Special) was the second tournament of the first reboot of KUNOICHI. This was the first and only KUNOICHI to be hosted under Taiiku World.
Trials[]
These trials were indirectly held through the Queen's Challenge Battle on Pro Sportsman No.1 Tournaments.
Intro[]
The tournament was set up seven months after Kinniku Banzuke ended their telecasts, and aired within weeks, and thus was broadcast under Taiiku World's branding.
To start with, the 1st STAGE saw the additions of Sekisho Michi and Dashutsu Bou while the Fusha Watari (changed to a single large windmill) and Sanrentobi (the beams were made thicker and were lowered) were modified to be easier compared to the previous tournament, with the time limit being raised by 10 seconds. However, despite these modifications, there were 63 recorded victims from failing Buyoishi which was extremely slick, the most victims of any KUNOICHI history, while the modification to the Fusha Watari proved difficult in its own right. Overall, only 3 competitors managed to clear the 1st STAGE: Mizuno Yuko, Watanabe Kazue, and Yusa Masami.
Next, the 2nd STAGE only eliminated Yusa Masami as she failed Daichoyaku for the second time in a row, but Mizuno and Watanabe were able to clear the 2nd STAGE, resulted became the first finalists in KUNOICHI.
In the FINAL STAGE, heavy snowfall began to occur during the taping. The FINAL STAGE itself consisted of a long, uneven balance beam with cylindrical and pyramidal bumps, which was made significantly more difficult due to the snowfall. Results-wise, Mizuno was able to traverse roughly half, failing to transit on the cylindrical bump, while Watanabe fell very early in the stage; thus ending her run and the tournament.
