Intro[]
The tenth Anniversary tournament, official name: SASUKE2002秋 (literally SASUKE 2002 Autumn), is the sixth tournament since Akiyama Kazuhiko's Kanzenseiha, and the first anniversary tournament. It also marks the fifth anniversary since the inception of SASUKE.
To commemorate the tenth tournament anniversary, competitors wore #901-1000 instead of the normal #1-100. This is also the first tournament in which SASUKE became an independent tournament, rather than being a spin-off of Kinniku Banzuke (due to it suffering problem in May 2002 and had to rebrand afterwards).
Three new obstacles were introduced: Daasu Bridge, Tarzan Rope (both First Stage) and Balance Tank (Second Stage). Tarzan Rope was proven to be a energy drainer obstacle, as Nakayama Kinnikun and Yamamoto Shingo failed and timed out respectively, because of it. First Stage was proven to be brutal overall, as Yamada Katsumi was the only SASUKE All-Star to clear and the only one out of the last 20 competitors to clear. Nakata Daisuke become the fastest finisher of First Stage with time of just 2.85 seconds left.
Second Stage eliminated one out of the five competitors, leaving four competitors advanced to Third Stage. Yamada was the Last Man Standing and had the best result of the tournament. Similar to SASUKE 6, Yamada made it all the way to the end of Pipe Slider. However, on the jump, he landed too short on the mat and fell backwards into the water. In Yamada's interview after his failure, he said one of the most famous lines in the history of the tournament, "俺には…、SASUKEしかないんですよ" which literally means: "For me, there is nothing else except SASUKE". However, he never reached Third Stage again since then.
