Intro
The 17th Competition, official name: SASUKE2006秋 (literally SASUKE 2006 Fall) is 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.
The First Stage had two new obstacles added, the 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 (2 representatives), and Taiwan preliminaries (one representative). Leading the qualifiers were Adachi Yūta and Lee En-Chih, who both cleared the First Stage. In the end 11 competitors cleared the First Stage.
In the Second Stage, the Balance Tank from SASUKE 15 replaced the Delta Bridge from the previous tournament. In the end, 8 competitors cleared the Second Stage.
No changes were made into the Third Stage. Takeda Toshihiro was once again denied a spot in the Final Stage, when he failed the jump from the Pipe Slider. Two competitors cleared the 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).
At 19 years old, Nagasaki Shunsuke became the second youngest competitor to advance to the Final Stage (after Kawashima Takayuki in SASUKE 1 at 18 years old), but was slow on the Spider Climb, and timed out on the Tsuna Nobori. However it was All-Star Nagano Makoto who stole the tournament, blazing through all the obstacles and defeating the Final Stage with 2.56 seconds left.
