Wed. night G4 aired the 21st Sasuke tournament, and as part of their American Ninja Challenge 3 G4 sent 4 hopeful American's to compete.
Congratulations to Levi Meeuwenberg, Brian Orosco, Mark Witmer, and Luci Romberg on their runs through the Sasuke obsticle course. Mark unfortunately injured his hand prior to his run, and was taken out early on the Log Grip. Hope you have a quick recover Mark, and get a chance to go again for Sasuke 22. Luci had a great run, and was the first woman to ever clear the Jumping Spider obstacle in Stage 1, but was unable to clear tha Halfpipe Attack. Levi and Brian both made it to stage 2, but were unable to clear the larger gap at the top of the Salmon Climber. Attack of the Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn also ran the course. Kevin made it to the Log Grip, and while he had a good grip with his hands his feet slipped and touched the water disqualifying him. Olivia started off good on the Sextuple Step, but lost her balance on the final step plunging her into the water.
This was Levi's second time to compete in the Sasuke tournament. In the previous tournament he was the only person to make it to stage 3. And if he decides to try for the next American Ninja Challenge he has my vote.
An image of Goku in his Ape form in the upcoming Dragonball movie has been leaked. This image doesn't speak highly of the film. But, I'm still hoping it's at least some what watchable.
