Intro[]

The 9th competition, official name: SASUKE2002春 (literally Sasuke 2002 Spring) was the fifth competition since Akiyama Kazuhiko's victory in SASUKE 4. It was remembered most for its redesigned Third Stage, featuring perhaps the most iconic incarnation of the Cliffhanger (the Cliffhanger Kai), the introduction of the new Rumbling Dice and Lamp Grasper, and as the first tournament in which the future SASUKE All-Star Nagano Makoto made his name. This was also the future SASUKE All-Star Shiratori Bunpei's first tournament, although he failed at the Soritatsu Kabe in the First Stage.

The First Stage remained unchanged since SASUKE 8, however, this tournament was noteworthy for the worst performance from a SASUKE All-Star, where Akiyama Kazuhiko failed at the very first obstacle of the First Stage, the Godantobi. He was the first SASUKE All-Star to fail at the very first obstacle of the First Stage (which would happen again in SASUKE 31, where both Yamamoto Shingo and Takeda Toshihiro failed the Rolling Hill, and then again in SASUKE 39 and SASUKE 41, where Yamada Katsumi and Nagano Makoto failed the Quad Steps respectively.) The results of the First Stage were incredibly similar to those of the previous tournament, since only 7 competitors finished the First Stage, with a difference of only one finisher more.

The Second Stage's time limit received a cut of 20 seconds, which eventually eliminated Iketani Naoki and Yamada Katsumi (due to losing too much time removing the tapes from his shoes before attempting the Spider Walk). It also nearly timed out Nakayama Kinnikun, who fell on the Spider Walk just as his time was about to expire.

The modifications to the Third Stage showed, defeating All-Stars Takeda Toshihiro and Yamamoto Shingo early on, and eliminating Nakata Daisuke as well. Nagano Makoto, however, was able to reach the very end of the stage, failing only at the final jump of the Pipe Slider, cementing his place as a firm favorite for the future.
