SASUKE 29, also known as SASUKE RISING 2013 Summer, took place in the beginning of June and aired on June 27. This competition serves as the Japanese qualifier for the 2014* SASUKE ASEAN Open Cup. This will be the second tournament aired in summer. The first one was SASUKE 15.
Several competitors, who have not competed in SASUKE for many years, finally returned to SASUKE for this tournament, including fan favorite Nagasaki Shunsuke, who competed for the first time since SASUKE 19; Tomoyuki who competed for the first time since SASUKE 19 as well; SASUKE 1 finalist Kawashima Takayuki who competed for the first time since SASUKE 22. 3-time Second Stage survivor Kobayashi Masaaki, who competed for the first time since SASUKE 16; Kajiwara Yuuta who competed for the first time since SASUKE 13 and finally, Tatayama Masaaki, who set a new hiatus record at 25 tournaments, competed for the first time since SASUKE 3. The field was almost all Japanese competitors with the only foreigner being Taiwan's Lee En-Chih.
In the First Stage, 2 new obstacles and a modified Log Grip were introduced and the mat color changed back to red. (even though there were black/red mixed color mats on the Log Grip) This stage proved to be very easy, particularly with the removal of the previously damaging Rolling Escargot and Spin Bridge as 21 people (including 9 previous finalists) completed the First Stage, the 5th best result in SASUKE history (SASUKE 1 had 23, SASUKE 2 had 34, SASUKE 4 had 37, SASUKE 27 had 27). Despite the success rate of the First Stage being over four times greater than that of the previous tournament, there were still notable failures there, such as two-time Second Stage competitor Sato Hiromichi who surprisingly failed the first obstacle, and two former all-stars: Third Stage veteran Takeda Toshihiro and champion Nagano Makoto. Katakabe Hiromasa was the only rookie in this tournament to clear the First Stage.
In the Second Stage, the obstacles were the same as SASUKE 28, however the time limit was reduced from 135 to 90 seconds. The Backstream was modified to be harder and proved to be a challenge as more than a half of the remaining competitors failed or timed out there. Neither of the first two competitors, Yamamoto Shingo or Hashimoto Koji could clear the obstacle despite both being skilled swimmers, resulting in the jets being reduced after Hashimoto's run. They were then escalated again after Takahashi Kenji cleared. Two-time champion Urushihara Yuuji still had half the time limit remaining when he attempted the obstacle, however could not clear it and timed out due to exhaustion. Only 4 out of the 21 men who attempted the stage cleared, the lowest Second Stage success rate only beaten by SASUKE 19. Nagasaki Shunsuke's return, however, was arguably impressive, as he went the furthest out of the competitors who did not clear the stage, timing out on the second wall of the Passing Wall.
New rules were given for this particular tournament, strangely stating that only the competitor who finishes the Third Stage in the fastest time will be allowed to go on to the Final Stage, regardless of whether any other competitor clears to make selections for the SASUKE Asean Open Cup more easy to decide. In the Third Stage, Morimoto Yūsuke became the first man to clear the Crazy Cliffhanger. He went on to beat the Curtain Cling and Vertical Limit and made it all the way to the end of the Pipe Slider. However, he missed the mat and fell backwards into the water. The remaining three competitors: Takahashi Kenji, Asa Kazuma, and Kanno Hitoshi all failed the Crazy Cliffhanger. Morimoto Yūsuke got the furthest, therefore he won and he will be representing in the ASEAN Open Cup 2014.
- The ASEAN Open Cup was originally going to be held in November of 2013, but was postponed and rescheduled to February of 2014.
