Intro
The seventeenth tournament, official name: SASUKE2006秋 (literally SASUKE 2006 Autumn), was the thirteenth tournament since the first Kanzenseiha achieved by Akiyama Kazuhiko. It was a historic tournament in the history of SASUKE, as Nagano Makoto became only the second competitor to ever achieve Kanzenseiha.
First Stage had two new obstacles added, Maruta Zaka and Circle Slider. The time limit was only 85 seconds, the lowest since SASUKE 13. Preliminary trials were held for this tournament, including the Bus Tour Trial (one representative), SASUKE 17 Trials (eight representatives), Professionals Trial (two representatives), and Taiwan Trials (one representative). Leading the qualifiers were Adachi Yūta and Lee En-Chih, who both cleared the First Stage. In the end, 11 competitors cleared First Stage.
In Second Stage, Balance Tank from SASUKE 15 returned after replaced by Delta Bridge in the previous tournament, however it did not cause much threat to the competitors. Metal Spin continued to be the most difficult obstacle in the stage, eliminating Lee and surprisingly Yamada Kōji, who was the first competitor in the previous tournament to beat Devil Balanço, leaving eight competitors to advance to Third Stage.
Third Stage had minor modifications on some obstacles, most notably Devil Balanço after Nagano's accident in the previous tournament. Takeda Toshihiro was once again denied a spot at Final Stage, when he failed the jump on Pipe Slider once more. Two competitors cleared Third Stage for the first time since SASUKE 13: Nagasaki Shunsuke (who became the first competitor to clear the Third Stage since its redesign in SASUKE 14) and Nagano Makoto (for the fourth time in his SASUKE apparances), marking the first time since SASUKE 12 that more than one competitor made it to the Final Stage.
At 19 years old, Nagasaki Shunsuke became the second youngest competitor to advance to Final Stage (after Kawashima Takayuki in SASUKE 1 at 18 years old), but was slow on Spider Climb and timed out on Tsuna Nobori. However, Nagano's training finally paid off as he blaze through the tower and defeating Final Stage with 2.56 seconds left, achieving only the second Kanzenseiha in history.
