Intro

The 16th Competition, official name: SASUKE2005冬 (literally SASUKE 2005 Winter) is the third and final tournament held in 2005. Officially, it was the only tournament to have the "winter" label.

In the First Stage, three new obstacles were introduced, the Rokudantobi, Rope Reverse, and Reverse Fly. Also, for the first time ever, there was a time limit difference for competitors in the First Stage, as normal competitors were given 100 seconds to complete it, while under 18, over 50, and/or female competitors were given 105 seconds to complete it. However, the success of this tournament was the best since Akiyama Kazuhiko's kanzenseiha in SASUKE 4, with an incredible 16 competitors cleared the stage, including 8 consecutive clears from #89 to #96.

In the Second Stage, the Delta Bridge replaced the Balance Tank from the previous tournament (although the Balance Tank would later replace the Delta Bridge in the next tournament). The redesigned Metal Spin was proven to be much brutal than the previous tournament, taking out 7 out of the 15 competitors who attempted it. The field was cut in half to eight.

In the Third Stage, the Arm Rings replaced the Rumbling Dice from the previous tournament. The results were slightly better, as the Devil Balanço was finally beaten by both Yamada Koji and Shiratori Bunpei. At 38 years old, Shiratori became the oldest competitor to go the furthest out of all the 100 competitors, surpassing Yamada Katsumi in SASUKE 10 at 36 years old. This was the only time Shiratori made it the furthest of the SASUKE All-Stars. However, for the third straight tournament, no one made it to the Final Stage.
