KUNOICHI 2003, colloquially as KUNOICHI 3. (officially SASUKE2003 秋 最強の女性NO.1決定戦 literally SASUKE 2003 Autumn ~ The strongest no.1 female deciding match ~ KUNOICHI, as well as KUNOICHI Magic Steel Castle Born)
This tournament marked the third KUNOICHI of the first reboot.
- KUNOICHI 2003 was advertised through Taiiku Ookoku (Taiiku World) but the show canceled before airing. The last episode of the show was dedicated to the KUNOICHI 2003 Navi. So, this was the first standalone KUNOICHI.
Trials
These trials were indirectly held through the Queen's Challenge Battle on Entertainer Survival Battle 2003. Mizuno Yuko (#100) who got first in the trials competed, along with Nishimura Miho (#15) and Ichinohe Nami (#50).

Intro
With little time to prepare for the tournament due to Taiiku World ending, the tournament was set up and aired within weeks. A course revamp appeared this tournament, with a brand new 3rd STAGE making its first appearance. With 14 1st STAGE clears and 11 2nd STAGE clears, this competition featured the highest number of clears ever for those respective stages in a KUNOICHI tournament to date. Breakout stars Hanzawa Tomomi and Izumi Mika both reached the final, along with Mizuno Yuko who was further expanding her current resume. The FINAL STAGE was redesigned into the form of a tower much like SASUKE, proved to once again be difficult for any finalists. All three timed out at the top of the tower, with Mizuno Yuko running out of time right before her hand hit the buzzer.
