*OFFiCiAL

THERE WAS MEDICAL SUPERVISION DURING THE FILMING

TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE CAST AND CREW.

Concentrate,

chosen fighters!

YEAR 1986

Attack!

In 1986 a colossal battle broke out.

THE LOST CASTLE

It is so impregnable,

that only 8 of the 127 battles were fought there.

8 VICTORIES, 118 DEFEATS, 1 DRAW. SUCCESS RATE 6%.

The dreaded Castle reappears in the land of the Rising Sun.

JAPAN

ADSTANCE

THE CASTLE OF TACESI

YEAR 2023

Attack!

The Castle of Takeshi has returned. Strengthened with exuberance and momentum.

Filled with new toys and became the palace of your dreams!

WHO WILL BE THE MOST DARING WARRIOR?

IT'S NO TIME TO BE AFRAID

You'll pay for this, you knuckleheads!

See for yourself.

UNTIL THE FINAL PUSH!

Victory is ours!

I feel terrible.

Tear it down!

To get...

one million yen

I'll destroy you!

I did it!

Let's go!

You fall until you can't get up.

No matter how hard you struggle, he's got you by the throat.

HE DANCES YOU TO THE BAR

The guest of honor you've all been waiting for.

HE'S HOLDING YOUR HAND

ARMY AGAINST THE TABLE

The Castle of Takeshi.

Takashi Castle (Japan)

The army sent a force of about 100 fighters

to take the second castle guarded by Naomi Watanabe.

Even the tough players of the Sasuke team failed.

One by one they lost the battle.

As if that weren't enough, the absurd rules of Kyoko

plunged the b*ttlefield into chaos.

And to top it off, General Tani was kidnapped

and Chief Kimura is still missing.

The army is under enormous pressure.

After the battles at the third fortress, 57 warriors remain.

At the next crossroads, new battles await them.

SECOND CASTLE CASTLE NAOMI CASTLE

It's like science fiction!

-We're not chippies in the castle.

-Alas, we have a name. Right.

The next game was loved by the audience.

-It's the Strait of Gibraltar. The famous one.

-Is it very well known? Sure.

Let's start with the Strait of Gibraltar.

At last! I got away from that thing. What was that?

It's too sturdy. Anyway, I got out of there.

-I'm back in the fight. Why didn't they redo this?

WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR POST?

The sketch is a mess.

-Are you kidding? He's in the script.

Is he nuts?

THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR

At last, another one of the basic popular games returns.

The Strait of Gibraltar.

CROSS THE BRIDGE TO WIN

What changes have been made to the new, improved version?

Looks good. I want to play.

This should be fun.

What do you think? You'd fall off before you even got on.

-Yeah, but I want to try. Me too.

I'M GONNA TRY.

You've done very well so far!

Are you strong enough?

Are you sure? Fatty, you in the back.

-Are you determined? I am.

-Postman. Uchiyama won.

Your w*r cry was a bit chilled.

Let's go harder.

-Are you determined? I am!

-Well done! That's you. I'm praying for all the postmen.

Well. The next test.

you will pass is the Strait of Gibraltar.

He's going to have fun. I'm jealous.

As soon as I tell you, we're on.

Ready?

Attack!

Let's go for the win!

We are in the Strait of Gibraltar.

We are the Nashunakanisi and we will bring you the news.

-Me without glasses. What do you mean?

Keep the ball.

THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR DIFFICULTY: 98%

The Strait of Gibraltar.

THE ARMY OF TAKESHI EIKO KANO - COMEDIAN

As long as I'm here, no one will get through!

-The ball is ready for launch. Tell us something, Zacochisou.

-Get off my back!

-It's a high bridge. In a jiffy.

Why? Why did you do this to me?

Postmen of Japan, look at this!

-You got it. You can do it!

SOUNSUKE KANEKO POSTAL TEAM FROM FUTSU

-They'll be thrilled. So you have to keep the ball.

PASS THE BALL ACROSS TO WIN.

-He's bouncing on the bridge. So that's what they'll do.

-It's going down. They didn't do it before. It's a new trick.

It's a tough one to pull off... Whoa!

That's right.

-He didn't even get a chance to try. It's too hard.

Takeshi's army is shaking the bridge.

The fighters must have excellent balance.

-It's not fair.

It's the worst game.

Now is the time to throw them off.

-What was that? He's mocking them.

"THE POSTAL TEAM FROM FUCHU

-I'll give it my all. He's looking strong.

-You jump with care._ -Uchiyama looks on like a dwarf.

He's nervous.

Don't fall!

-It's hard. And the water... He makes the bridge slip.

-Why was he in a hurry? He probably wanted to get to the stone.

-The others are jumping. Yes.

Next, Takao Uchiyama, the postman who ended up

to drink a lot of water in the Complicades.

What have we brought you?

TAKAO UCHIYAMA POSTAL TEAM FROM FUTSU

-You got it, Uchiyama! It's upstairs. Let's go.

Go for it, Uchiyama.

Uchiyama...

-Careful, don't rush. I don't see him passing.

Steady. Good.

Uchiyama...

-Don't swallow water. He won't say. I bet he'll drink.

-Uchiyama... Too late. Nice fall.

He lost his balance while they were pouring water on him,

and fell face first into the lake.

Unfortunately, he still swallowed a ton of water.

He spat out some water.

Here are the...

YOGI & SAKO

-We've known each other a long time. We drink them together.

-You ready for the next round? You?

I'll break my bones to get there.

-He scares me a little. He's got a lot of loyalty.

The girls are from Osaka and have been drinking together for the last 15 years.

They've brought the charm of the South to Takeshi Castle.

They're definitely unconventional.

You think they signed up drunk?

"Yeah, man! Let's go."

Keep your balance!

-They don't move the bridge much. That's good.

"THE ARMY OF TAKESHI ATTACKS WITH ba*ls AND WATER

-Keep it up. He's doing well.

There's the golden ball.

If you can make it with that ball thrown to you at an inconsequential time,

you win a grand.

-Is it just a ball? No!

-It fell. They got it.

Nice game.

Showed what guts we got in Osaka.

-There's her girlfriend. Go get her.

-Stop it! She's saying exactly what she feels.

Come in if you can!

The water pressure is too strong.

-I can't! Don't chew!

-He'll be afraid to run._-It's cold!

Can't you hear what he's saying? It's cold!

Pass if you can.

-He's moving. Don't stop!

-Calm down. It's too much water.

-Her legs are stiff. The water bothers her.

-Calm down, Kano. Right?

-It's easy enough. Cano!

-Kano! It's your fault!

He says it's your fault.

-He didn't like that. Cano...

Here comes Sengoku, former star

of Japan's national soccer team.

I'm the kid who'll melt the fighters!

FORMER SOCCER PLAYER

I am Raimu Sengoku!

-As a comedian she does. -Is that her style?

-She's fun. And everyone likes her.

-She's got it. Good.

She's got strong legs.

-And great balance. Impressive.

Look at you!

-I know. She's lost her center of balance.

No!

Strong attack.

-But she's fighting back. Impressive.

Looks like a performance.

-She's resisting. Screaming non-stop.

They're aiming for her groin.

Right on the groin.

-She's doing very well, she's resisting. Amazing!

They're trying to trap her.

She headed the ball away.

Interesting.

-She's got balance. She's unplayable.

No! All right, he's held on.

He's got great balance, and his headers are fun.

Look out!

-That's close. Great effort.

-Don't mess around! Fantastic!

He's leaning forward, that's why he's down.

Even though we're enemies, I congratulate you!

Really?

-It was a rock. You touched it.

-Where did we say they found you?

Don't point, stop.

Sengoku bravely faced the attacks of the Takeshi army.

Her amazing fighting spirit and her headers

deserve the Fighting Award.

She deserves it.

Next up is a beloved idol of the melon industry,

Melon Yamaguchi.

-I'm the best cantaloupe. You got it, Melon. Make us proud.

-I can't believe Melon's here. Good.

MELON YAMAGUCHI, IDOL OF THE MELON MARKET

Shouldn't they have a cantaloupe as a mascot?

You're doing very well.

-Move on with ease. She's good.

-She's fast. She doesn't seem to be struggling.

Good, go around.

She can do it.

She moves a lot.

-My goodness! She's swinging badly.

-That's tough. The prize ball.

Play for the money.

-I guess we're asking too much. It's too hard.

Here comes the golden ball.

Get it!

It's incredibly strong!

Good for her for making it this far.

Don't stop!

-Look at this! It's a duel.

What a sight!

-She got too close. That was a solid effort.

-She almost got through. Good for her!

Impressive, Melon.

-The fight was decided to the end. Yes.

-Too bad. Perseverance wins.

Well done, Zacchosissou.

Melon bravely charged forward...

and came within striking distance of the target.

There, she fell in defeat under the relentless pressure of Zacchosissou.

The path to victory that Melon blazed would be followed by the next fighters.

What was that guy's name again?

Jordan almost won

in the Complications, thanks to his impressive skills.

Hopefully his good balance as a surfer will give him the win.

I'M GONNA WIN NEXT ROUND!

JORDAN ORAIEN E-SPORTS EMPLOYEE

Eat him!

The guy's got stamina.

He's being attacked mercilessly.

-Turns out he's a surfer. He doesn't mind the water.

That's a huge advantage.

-You got it. He's not having any trouble.

-He doesn't mind the shaking either. He's got it.

No problem.

-Keep going! His torso stays steady.

-All right! It'll pass.

He can win.

Is he gonna catch the golden ball?

-He's very steady. He's amazing.

Look at that composure!

You can do it!

Awesome!

-What happens now? The Takeshi army is retreating.

Wait a minute!

He did it!

IT'S HAPPENING

-They've become close. It was easy...

-Look at this. Fantastic!

-sh*t! Hooray!

We won!

Jordan walked slowly and maintained his awesome balance.

He finished, jumping lovingly onto Zacosissou.

He's the first to win the Strait of Gibraltar.

-He's bursting with joy. Look at the energy!

JORDAN ORIEN, E-SPORTS EMPLOYEE

You did it! Nice win.

Yippee!

YAY!

"Yes" he said?

After Jordan's victory, the army moves forward with more determination.

MASAKI ΚΑΤΟ CONSTRUCTION MANAGER

Don't pour water where you shouldn't.

Finally, these guys have taken up combat positions.

-The Sasuke team. Tough nuts.

The team with the awesome skills that dominated the Cluster.

Sasuke's active players.

-They look like mercenaries. Indeed.

First to face the Strait of Gibraltar will be...

MASASHI SNOWY COMPANY DIRECTOR

-Didn't we train for this? Yes!

-It's easy for us, isn't it? Yes!

With his victory in the Complications, Hiochi opened a winning streak for the team.

Can he repeat that in this round?

Good luck!

Watch out! You're not going this way.

As a company director, I'll give it my best shot.

KOKOMI, MAYUMI, MIYUNA, SNOW WHITE FAMILY'S RICE CAKE

You got it!

-Come and get it. You're doing well.

It's got good rhythm.

He's nice even when he's falling.

-That was pretty fast, wasn't it? Yeah.

Hioki succumbed to the hose's attacks.

and, unfortunately, did not pass the test.

Not only did he not "clean up" for his team,

he didn't even make it halfway through the game.

How do they beat that?

It was over too quickly.

Dad!

YUJI URUSHIHARA TRIUMPHS TWICE AT SASUKE

After their teammate failed to give a push,

the Sasuke team can't seem to find their rhythm.

Compared to the Concludes, their progress is night and day.

Even Team Sasuke is having a hard time.

SINGO YAMAMOTO FOUGHT IN ALL THE SASUKE

It's not their forte here.

TOMOHIRO KAWAGUCHI, THE SASUKE ELITE

We were surprised to see eight of the nine Sasuke members fail.

-I like it! Alas.

Morimoto, you're our hope.

Will the last player break the streak of failures?

Sasuke Jr. is next.

Yusuke Morimoto is a two-time Sasuke champion.

-Come on, Sasuke Jr. After his success in the Complications,

will he complete all the rounds of the Castle with praise?

-He was very good there. I did it!

Bring us victory!

-I'm going! Go get them!

-Let's go! You can do it!

This is Shinya Sugiyama and I'll keep you informed of developments.

And now, Morimoto will face the Strait of Gibraltar.

He holds in his hands the honor and the hopes of his team.

YUSUKE MORIMOTO TWO-TIME SASUKE CHAMPION

-I can't lose by any means.

-We're counting on you. Do your best.

His companions place their hopes and dreams in him.

He's taking his first steps. The bridge is only 60 cm wide.

He takes the ball from Captain Kimura and gets off to a good start.

With his left foot forward, he protects himself from the water

-by turning his back. He's stable.

-ba*ls are thrown at his feet. He's getting hit.

They almost hit him in the head.

He looks unperturbed, but Zacosissou shakes the bridge.

He jumps to shake it more.

The bridge has never moved like that before.

Will Morimoto get past the stone? Yeah, he's crossed it.

The shaking doesn't stop, but Morimoto remains calm.

HE CAUGHT THE GOLD BALL AND WON 1,000 YEN

-I want him to win! He catches the golden ball.

The attacks with ba*ls and water are intensifying.

The bridge is becoming increasingly unstable.

-Really? But he keeps going.

And in Sasuke, he always plays last.

The last fighter.

It rushes over the last stone.

-Fantastic! He did it! He won!

-Well done, Saske Junior! Yusuke Morimoto

has defeated the Strait of Gibraltar.

-He's fantastic. He made the team's wishes come true.

-Captain Kimura is flying in the sky. Bravo!

HE GETS A 100,000 YEN REWARD.

That's what champions are like. He gets the 1,000 yen.

The team was in danger of failing miserably.

But he was like a rugby player,

he flew over the stones

and rushed into the goal with the ball in his hands.

-Our savior is here! It's beyond imagination.

With the award winners,

a total of three people crossed the Strait of Gibraltar.

Let's go to the next fortress, intrepid soldier!

-Saske Junior really doesn't exist! He's fantastic.

Nice guy! He got the prize money.

It was a perfect victory.

Remember? "I'm Sengoku!"

-I didn't know it was like that. Me neither.

-It was fun. I'm listening.

-that football attracts the crazies. Really?

-He's at Shochiku Talent Agency. Really?

That's where they hire people with type.

-They have a wide range. That's right.

Let's call our count. Count!

That was fun.

You know,

and Shengoku and Melon Yamaguchi

-are in Shochiku. -Really?

They might put on a good show if we put them in the Slime Quiz.

-In the consolation games. Okay. Maybe they'll do better there.

You know what? I thought it was very interesting...

Thank you. Bye.

-He's still talking. He ate slime.

I couldn't figure out where he was going.

The next game looks like "You're a chicken",

but you have to stop at a certain distance from the goal.

It's called "Bridge."

This is more about luck than technique.

Let's see what innovations have been added to the game.

First, though, let's take a look at the tests.

EIKO KANO - TESTER

-Okay.

Lean on me.

This doll will do the job taka taka.

He's in shape.

STOP WHERE THE ARROWS MEET.

He needs absolute precision.

See the white dart on his board?

-It has to line up with the other one. He failed here.

-Are the rules that strict? If you lose, you fall.

-You don't stop easily on the reels. Yes, sir.

The new and improved bridge,

the two arrows must be perfectly aligned to win.

You also fall from a greater height. Its design almost precludes victory.

-I don't see anyone winning. Hardly.

All I can say is...

It's been a long time since I've gotten my a*s kicked like this, and I'm moved.

I've remembered things.

-Comrades! Thanks for coming. What a yell!

Ready to give it your all?

Oh, great. The little girl up front.

-You got some grit? Yeah!

Wait, are you sure?

I want to see how determined you are.

Good! That's the kind of energy I want from all of you.

The next test is the bridge.

-What's that? This game requires grit.

-Will they face this obstacle? Concentrate all your courage.

I believe in each and every one of you. Let's go.

Attack!

ARMY OF TAKESHAZZAKOS, COMEDIAN

-I'm Zacko and I'm here again._ -He turned.

ARMY OF TAKASHI TOMOAKI FAT & TOGI MAKABE

Don't think you'll stop.

I'll throw you down.

I'll drop you down.

We just saw what they're going to do.

THE BRIDGE DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 142%

Attack!

I'll stand right where I'm supposed to. I'm going to snitch!

Right in the middle.

CHIROSI ONODA TEACHER FROM THE TOWN OF KAWASAKI

The team's going to tear it up.

-Nice try. He hit his foot.

-Stop. He's going fast.

-Teacher's down. I'm gonna dunk!

"I'm gonna snitch."

-Okay. It's his favorite line.

JUNKO TOKUMOTO, AN ATHLETE OF ADVENTURE SPORTS.

-I want a beer later! Okay!

Nice start.

-Here comes Zacosissou. She hurt her leg.

-Beer's waiting for you. Maybe she'll make it.

-No... She stopped long before.

-I'm afraid! His voice is terrible.

You won't enjoy that beer.

That's terrible!

-There's no beer. I can't understand what he's saying from this far away.

Innovation isn't limited to the height you fall through.

There's also Zacosissou, who can stop your course with a push.

Then there's the warrior who was saved by a dirty plan.

Kyoko's favorite, Tsujimura.

You put up a good fight in the Dolls.

Thanks, I had good tactics.

My strategy is on another level.

-That's why I won. Are you sure?

Attack!

I'm the best!

He's the one from the old days. He's going too fast.

RIOTA TSUJIMURA CEO CONSULTING COMPANY

That intervention was lousy.

Zacosissou, that wasn't fair.

Zacko was not well-disciplined.

He had a goal to go forward, but he didn't succeed.

-You can't get around that. It's not fair.

What about the red bar?

I was about to get a push...

-I went backwards, didn't I? I've never seen anything like it.

-He pushed you back. That's what I figured.

So I didn't go any further.

It was a perfect retreat.

HANA YOSHIDA MEMBER OF KITTYCAT

Series by Hannah, a high school student.

-She's doing fine. I'm not going to hurt you.

-He's not torturing her. That's good.

-Think she'll make it? She's too light.

You'll be in shadow if you fall?

Will she be sorry?

It's my duty to drop you. So long!

She spun in the air.

-Turn a little. You have no mercy!

f*ck!

-He's terrible. Like a monster.

He looks like a monster.

-A real monster. Attack!

I'll give it all!

Let's go!

HARUNA FUJITAKA FORMER CHEERLEADER

Good!

He's got a chance.

Looks good.

-Seriously, he can do it. He's got it.

-He can't do that! He didn't make it?

-They're coming. Don't sh**t her!

-Don't sh**t her! Don't you want me to sh**t you?

-He says not to sh**t her. Was that a failure?

-Too harsh. I say it was a victory.

-It was too close. That's how close it was.

-It was too close. That's how close it was.

In the end, he fell with the grace of a skilled cheerleader.

Beautiful dive.

ACYO SIONTA SPARTAN FIGHTER

-Next fighter..._-I'm sure.

I'll stop at the dart.

SPARTAN RACE TEAM

The Spartan Race team,

who finished first at the Border Wall.

Will these fighters, who are participating

in the world's toughest races can win here?

Three, two, one, go!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Go!

Are they allowed to do that?

It's not fair!

The doom bar is working feverishly.

A fatal push from Zacko has knocked Sionda off course.

MEGUMI TAKAGI SPARTAN FIGHTER

The tough athletes continue to give it their all,

but they are defenseless against the impossible rules of the game.

-No! Don't push her!

-Don't do it! He's right!

Nice try!

Will a warrior perform a miracle?

-We're down to our last fighter. Tough game.

-Who signed up here? My husband.

He played in the game three decades ago.

and made it to the final round.

34 years ago,

Dante's husband failed in the round of karts.

-Today, his children will have their revenge.

We're gonna make it, the world is gonna end!

What a good guys! They're doing it for their dad.

Attack!

I'll give it my all!

DAI DANTE WILL AVENGE HIS FATHER

-You've got it! They've got him by the ba*ls.

-This helped him. Maybe it's for him.

Good! Hold on.

-Start braking. Just a little more! A little more!

What? No!

A little more! A little more!

-Almost! He didn't make it.

-His shoe came off. It was too close.

Dai, the little brother, started off with too much momentum.

He was helped by Zacko's devastating bar.

His speed slowed down a lot, but he couldn't reach the centre of the goal.

So close, yet so far away.

I hope you're ready.

Another time.

You came too close.

-Really? Yes.

-There was a hair between you and the target. Yes, sir.

You slowed down just enough when the barrier hit you.

-Yes, sir... That's a great sad face!

No...

Big brother tries, but unfortunately, he fails too.

JUDE WILL AVENGE HIS FATHER.

They failed to clear their father's name after 34 years.

-It's a very difficult game. We all failed.

-We failed. No...

-No one won. That's it. Really?

-I don't have any more soldiers. Oh, boy!

You don't?

-No way. Not even one?

-Princess, we got them. Indeed.

We got them.

Okay, but...

-I wanted to see a win. Me too.

-It would be a miracle. It's almost impossible to be so precise.

And Jacquot can cut off your course.

They're enemies, but even I thought it was too much.

You've learned the procedure by now. Here come the consolation games.

It's the last lifeline for the fighters who failed.

I will return to the fight.

Victory for Takeshi.

My enthusiasm for Castle is the same as my socks.

I'm a little crushed. Nice little joke, isn't it?

In the next bunker, 14 fighters fight for a place in the final battle.

Guess the meaning, to find out which door you can go through.

Our game is called Doors!

Originally, each fighter went through the challenge alone.

But in a later version of the game, the whole army joined in.

-I remember that. Yes.

Let's see what improvements were made in the latest version.

-Great! Amazing.

THE CASTLE OF TAKESHI.

I'm proud that you've come this far.

Are you always ready to fight?

They're beginning to look like real fighters.

The next test is the Gates.

-That'll be fun. Amazing!

-Don't get crippled, okay? This is great.

All right, then. Attack!

Give it all you got!

ARMY OF TAKASHI KUROCHAN & WATTARI 119

-Don't come this way. Kurochan.

Never!

-Let's go talk to her. What happened?

MYSTERIES OLD FORTUNE TELLER.

I'm the old fortune teller.

-Shall I tell you your future? That's suspicious.

You can tell us if we can protect these walls,

-by preventing the passage of the army? Tell us, please.

Let me see what the crystal ball says.

-It's like a dream. Take a look for yourself.

-What is this?_-Something's not right here.

-Tell us more. Take a closer look.

-I got scared. What happened?

Only in Takeshi Castle.

-What's the point? What kind of a joke is this?

-Why did you scare us, Grandma? I've had my livers cut off.

What are you trying to accomplish?

"What are you trying to accomplish"?

That's a good question.

-Flight. The Doors to Freedom.

-I'm sorry.

We'll do the story.

DOORS.

I'll do anything to win. Look at me!

-Attack! Good luck!

FIND THE RIGHT DOOR TO GET PAST THE WALLS

-Well, there are eight walls. And strong walls, yes.

Keep calm.

7/8 WALLS REMAIN

THEY'LL GO ON EVEN IF THEY FALL IN THE MUD OR A PIT.

-It's a lot of obstacles. You can get through the mud.

-Has it always been this solid? It takes a lot of effort.

-I remember that part. Dirty trick.

-You got it. Keep going!

Only three of the eight doors are permeable.

-And they all have mud on the back. The odds are slim.

-So is life. That's true.

-Very nice. No! He fell into a net.

-Is that good? Just when you say you've made it.

-So you're going back. Really? Okay. Okay.

-You're not going through... Who are you? Don't get caught!

THE ARMY OF TAKASHI SUDDENLY APPEARS. IF HE CATCHES YOU, YOU LOSE.

-Most people hate Kurochan. They're coming. No!

Kurochan will eat you alive.

I got you.

HATTA

Mud everywhere.

It's fun.

Let's go to the next fighter,

from the student group.

Kato, who proved her worth in the battles at Castle Ueda, returns.

Will it make it to the final battle this time?

I've come this far and I think I'm going to make it.

-Good luck! Attack!

Give it all you've got.

It's starting from the far end.

-He's already in the mud. He's going on.

You're doing well.

-Well done. He's in the mud.

-Mud makes it hard to walk. You got it.

-It's gonna be tiring. You can do it.

Go around to the other side.

It'll wear out.

-He's running out of energy. Looks hard.

-The net. Everyone gets caught there.

That net...

Human nature prefers straight lines.

They avoid the farthest doors.

-They're coming. Run!

-I don't like this. No!

-Get away! Run!

Watari's chasing her.

-He's coming! Yes! Come on in.

-Good. Don't stop! No!

-He's not moving. They're coming.

-Run. Can he get over the wall too?

-Did he make it? Do it!

HATTA

-Was it a net? Her face is blown. Call a doctor!

It's bad enough you're crawling in the mud,

you've got the enemy chasing you.

The army is fighting against this horrible game.

It's like a nightmare come to life.

-I've got Curro. Yes, I've got you. Bye-bye.

JUNE SATO, HEAD OF THE PARKOUR ASSOCIATION

I missed a spot. Here's one for you.

CHIROKI SAKAI WRESTLER

You okay? I found a victim!

You okay? You okay? Hang in there.

Are you okay? Let me see your face.

Open your eyes, please!

It's exhausting.

It's draining.

It's fun, though.

IBU HANJUDA STUDENT GROUP

What the hell!

I couldn't do it.

-A lady. This pit is deep.

And quite a bit, too.

I got you. Let's take a bath together.

This is the end of you.

JORDAN ORIEN WINS IN THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR

And Jordan, winner of the Gibraltar, is doing his best, but...

You're not getting away from me. Come here!

Come here. Come here.

-Come here! No, Jordan...

-I got you. Too bad.

-He's become Kurochan's prey. Goodbye.

And as the fierce battle continues, a man takes action.

-If you fall like that, you're done. That's right.

You'll be stuck there.

It's Masashi Hioki of Team Sasuke.

-He failed in the Strait of Gibraltar. Hioki's coming back.

He failed to salvage his dignity in the consolation games.

But he returned to battle with the Fighting Award.

-Catalawa. Number 82, Masashi Hioki.

Thank you very much!

What a relief. I was in tears.

My family cheers for me like when I play in Sasuke.

I want to win so they can be happy.

Beautiful family.

But I'm not going to be so easily carried away by emotions.

I guess it's time for the dance floor to get tough.

Would you believe it? Another rule added.

The mysterious fortune teller will make dark predictions.

Her tales will confuse the army.

Will they be able to handle it?

I see something! Here it is!

-Your lucky color is white. My lucky color?

Go to the color white with all your might.

Thank you! Thank you!

-Attack! What does he mean?

-Is there a white door? I'll give it all.

-There's a white curtain. For my children!

The worst thing is to choose white and it's a trap.

-I'd be mad. Get out of there!

-Go to the white one. It's not white.

-It's not working. Does it have white curtains?

-I got it. No!

What? It's not working.

It's perfect. It's okay.

6 WALLS TO GO

Some doors are white.

-Good! This pit is too deep!

Why is it so deep?

-This place is too deep. It's thawing.

The pits have different depths.

Our staff is crazy.

Why is it so deep?

-This one's shallow. And very shallow.

Good. No one's chasing him.

-They're coming. The army's going after him.

-Are they coming? No!

-They're coming. It's getting complicated.

He got lucky. Watari's stuck in the pit.

Here's your chance.

Run!

-His legs... He looks tired.

Don't stop. No, there's a net there.

-He hits them all. Are they all cards?

There's only one wall left.

Will he make it? There's only one wall left.

I'll get you!

Stay where you are!

-He made it! Come in!

-He won? What happened?

Amazing!

-Don't let him get away, you idiot! Is there mud in the end?

WINS

-He's done it! He's very good!

-Hooray! He's soaked. I'm touched.

-Tough game. I was moved.

-He'll be exhausted. Did I win?

Hioki won.

-Daddy proved his worth. I won!

-I cried. The kids must have been happy.

-Kurochan would've cornered him. He came within five minutes.

-It's a miracle. He crashed through the first door he found...

-That was a close one. And it happened to be the right one.

The strength he gained in Sasuke and the love of his children,

led him to the finish line.

-I did it! So they didn't know.

-They didn't see it. They're in the mud.

-I didn't want the family to cry._-I'm very glad.

-We're very happy. Nice dad.

-Let's say one last hurrah. Isn't it great?

Hooray!

-Very nice. Daddy won points.

After Hioki, he's fighting

Saske Junior, who has passed all the tests so far.

He's taken every measure to achieve a complete victory.

Since there are pits of mud and water, my goal is

to pass them quickly and maintain my energy to the finish.

And not to panic when Takeshi's army attacks.

With the final battle on the horizon,

this round is just one step for Saske Jr.

I can see that.

-Your lucky number is... The old fortune teller.

-...three. Three?

-What's that? A clue? Okay.

With two Sasuke championships in my pocket,

he can make it to the final battle following this challenge,

the Doors.

The 30-year-old Yusuke Morimoto will now make his move.

The fortune teller said my lucky number is three.

So I'll attack the third door on the left.

-I'm on my way. Will he make it?

He's running towards the first door.

-Very strong! Look how high he jumped.

He fell backwards. He comes out covered in mud.

And he goes through, tearing the door in half.

-Look at that! He doesn't need that much momentum.

Third door on the left. He goes through the third wall.

He's being chased by Takeshi's army.

He's got a shot at the fourth,

but he meets resistance at the fifth wall.

Another false door. He makes it to the next one.

He attacks his first target, but is repelled.

He can't find the right door and they're chasing him.

Yusuke Morimoto is disqualified from the fight.

HATTA

-Thank you. Our shining star,

Yusuke Morimoto, tasting a bitter defeat.

His dream of a big win in the castle is extinguished here.

They got Saske Jr.

Last to fight

Raimu Sengoku, a Celebrity and former soccer player.

Will the vigor she's developed on the court give her victory?

I regret to say that I haven't won any games so far.

But I am here.

If the Takeshi gorillas show up in front of me, I'm screwed.

But if they come at me from the side, I'll get away.

I run fast.

I can see that.

-Your lucky color is red. Red?

-Okay. Let's go for red.

Where do you see red?

I'm Raimou Sengoku!

I'll trust fate and follow red.

-"I am Raimou Shengoku!". - Believe in red.

Whoa! What's up?

Oh my! Really?

-Try another door. But not red.

It was a trap.

Look out!

-Are you serious?

He has to avoid the red one.

-He found it. She's losing her stamina. I feel sorry for her.

-You got it, Sengoku! You got it!

We see you, Sengoku!

What a sweet guy!

-Good. Well done, Shengoku.

-He's exhausted. That's for sure.

-The mud is slowing you down. That's right.

-Red! He's going red.

-It wasn't the right door. It's a trap!

The worst.

The solution is not in the red.

-Indeed. Poor little thing.

The gorillas will be here any minute.

-White. Will you try white?

-Unfortunately. The pit is very deep.

-You could drown in it. Show them what you're worth.

5/8 WALLS REMAIN

You wouldn't think you'd need a life preserver in this game.

-But it's a very deep hole. Indeed.

-And he swallowed a lot of muddy water.

Do you hear how he coughs?

-Sengoku... Come on, you can do it.

-He's doing better. The gorillas will be here any minute.

-They will. But she looks too tired to run.

She looks exhausted.

-The net. Go to the next one. She's showing.

-She must be at her limit. But she saw it.

Clench your teeth.

Try the next one.

Good!

-You got it. They won't be here long.

They're here.

Two more walls.

-Hurry up. Hold on tight!

-Hurry! No!

Come back, quick!

-That's good. Don't try it this time.

Good. Run.

Not that way.

-He found her. Hurry!

-No! He missed. Now's your chance.

-You have a chance. You got it!

-He did it! He won!

-That was close. He did it.

Hooray!

Here's the finish!

He was deceived by the fortune teller and tested hard in the mud puddles.

But Sengoku did not give in and continued with courage.

With incredible speed, she escaped Takeshima's army

-and triumphed. She's fast.

-I won? They must be in pieces.

TWO FIGHTERS REMAIN

-Is he all right? My dear boy.

-He may be stirring. Did he spill too much water?

That's probably it.

Two fighters made it through the doors.

The final battle awaits them!

That was perfect. What do you think?

That was probably the most challenging game in terms of endurance.

-True. I guess we were hard on Sengoku.

She was misled by that red one.

But she's one of the two finalists.

-You're right.

Well, princess, it's time for the final battle.

THE EPIC ARCHERY BATTLE FOR A MILLION YEN PRIZE.

You will protect the castle with your own hands.

-I'll do that? Of course.

The army fought tooth and nail to get here.

-Let's humiliate them as much as we can. Got it.

-Let's flatten them. Sounds great.

Let's talk to the Count. Count?

I hope you're ready for action. Don't let them get the upper hand.

-Don't worry, we've got the princess. Yeah, we're gonna make a big bang.

Good. Now, remember, the most important thing is defense.

I'm sorry, did you say "defense"?

-That's what I said. Defense! Thank you.

-I didn't hear what he said either. Didn't you hear me?

-Hold the fort. Do you understand? Yes.

Do your best, all right?

I'm having a hard time too, but I'm doing my best.

-Thank you. Thank you.

-Defense. Understand? Defense? Of course, I'll protect us.

I am Raimou Sengoku!

I'm going into the final round with hope.

Thank you for supporting me.

Hioki! Team Sasuke is counting on you to conquer Takashi Castle.

-Go make history! Go!

Let's go!

You're gonna kick a*s. Hooray!

With the fervent support of their defeated comrades,

the remaining warriors make their way to Naomi Castle.

And now, the princess will come to the b*ttlefield!

NAOMI WATANABE, MISTRESS OF THE SECOND CASTLE

-He's coming. Princess Naomi. Hi.

We're finally going to fight.

I'm so hot, I can barely hold on. Whatever, it's so hot!

FILMED IN AUGUST

-There's nothing we can do. The arena's boiling.

Look, please, in front of you.

-The warriors are waiting for us. They're over there.

Look how the leader is honking his horn.

I am Subaru Kimura! The leader of the army!

-In the flesh. Too tough.

How's it going? Everything okay? By the way, we'll do you with the onions.

Well, we brought two steel warriors.

What do you know? Steel warriors!

Sit down and you'll see. They're gonna turn your stinking castle into dust!

The leader is a wild man.

-Princess, give them an answer. All right.

You cans! I'm going to smash you!

You'll never make it!

-We've only heard the chief so far. What do the others say?

Warriors, what do you say?

Show them who you are.

I'm going to destroy you!

I'll crush you!

-They're taking it easy. He's got the voice. They're in shape.

All right, then. Shall we settle this?

-Come on, let's get it over with. Okay.

The final battle of the night is called "Yabusame".

The two opponents will be put in wagons, but only the army wagon will move.

From there, they will fire shots at the target on the opponent's wagon.

The army wins if it throws its ball into the red basket.

Takeshi's army wins if it hits the blue target.

But if they both hit the target, it's a tie and neither wins.

Bring out the battle vehicles!

-Coming. Amazing!

Here it is.

-Very nice! That's Takeshire Castle.

-It's here, let's go see it. After you. Okay.

You're in the driver's seat, Princess Naomi.

I won't let you down.

You're a doll in there.

-It's a pleasure. Didn't I tell you?

First up, Raimu Sengoku, former professional soccer player.

1 WIN 2 FIGHTING AWARDS

Physical abilities and fighting ability

brought victories for this lucky girl.

-Are you nervous? Yes.

I might throw up.

That's a lot of weight.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE SUCCESS TO GET A MILLION YEN.

-We'll beat them together. Thank you, Hioki.

-I'm going. You got it!

Will he be able to calm down? Will he be able to bring down Naomi Castle?

-You might want to look this way at the end. I got it.

The first round is a fierce battle against Naomi.

Who will come out alive?

YABUSAME DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 200%

The first round of Yabusame begins.

Come on! Come on! Let's go!

sh**t!

-Did he get it? I won!

Did you get it?

DEFEAT FOR THE ARMY

VICTOR: THE ARMY OF TAKASHI

-We won. You got it.

A Sengoku shot came close to the target,

but it missed the center.

It was a hand-to-hand battle.

On the other hand, Princess Naomi

didn't do well at the beginning, but then she was driven to victory.

She hit the opponent's target with the sixth shot.

-You lost. There was a lot of tension. Yes, I lost.

I was thinking that if I won,

I might be able to get more entertainment gigs.

-You had a lot invested. Yeah.

-I'll be damned. You made it this far, don't forget.

-Where's your agent? He went to another show.

-Chief! Yes?

What are we gonna do?

-Did you see what happened? Sure, I saw.

I did, but I didn't really understand what was going on.

Well, Himura, it's your turn.

-Can I go? Make us proud.

-Watch out. Yeah, I almost lost last time.

Plus, the opponent is from Sasuke.

You're right. It's Sasuke against Takeshi Castle.

-Okay, let's go! Take them out.

I didn't imagine my teammates would be losing one by one

and I'd end up alone in the end.

I got this far with the support of my family.

It remains for me to concentrate all my efforts on the goal.

-I will win! Let's go!

2 GAME WINS 1 COMBAT AWARD

Here comes Masaki Hioki.

Will he be able to avenge his comrades?

Will he live up to his family's expectations?

A shout for victory, please.

Let's go! Let's go!

We have a mission!

The morale of the army is high.

How's Himura from the other army?

Do you think I can make it?

You bet. Get them.

-Show them what "Himura" means. You're gonna kick a*s.

-I'm nervous. Focus.

Stay calm.

Himura's hesitating. Here's your chance!

This is the last battle.

Let's go to the second round of Yabusame.

Three,

two,

one.

Let's go!

How's he doing?

He did it.

-How's he doing? He made it. He's getting close.

He did it in pieces.

DEFEAT FOR THE ARMY

-Really? Really?

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY OF TAKESHI.

-We won! Hooray!

f*ck! No one went in?

Hioki hit the target hoop with several shots.

Unfortunately, he missed the center.

On the other hand, the hesitant Himura hit the target with the third shot,

and again, with the fourth and sixth.

He brought the army to its knees.

-It was a little short.

-Their ball made it this far. Why do you have this?

-They hit the target? There's a ball here.

You almost missed.

Surprisingly, when the army attacked with a barrage of g*nf*re..,

a ball bounced and went into the vehicle.

That shot doesn't count, but Himura was in danger of losing.

-Bravo! Bravo!

Should we call him "Mr. Takeshi Castle"?

What do you think?

-That's a very good question. I say it's too soon.

-Mr. Castle of Takeshi, in reserve? Reserve?

-Well, Princess Naomi. I'm glad.

-A wonderful victory. Good for us.

I was nervous before the battle.

But I calmed down and beat them.

They fought bravely, didn't they?

-They were skilful. They made me nervous sometimes.

-But we did it. No doubt about it.

So, Takeshi's army won!

We won!

We won!

Fireworks!

This is Takeshi Castle!

-We're up. Yes!

You poor b*stards!

You let two warriors into the castle?

Naomi is useless.

Sad.... she's pathetic.

*OFFiCiAL

Next episode, a variety of fighters from around the world.

The army of about 100 tough fighters will face incredible odds.

This beloved game is back.

Did they lose that many in one shot?

-This guy's back. This time I'm gonna win.

Will any fighter survive...

to strike terror into Takeshi's army?

THE ARMY BEHIND THE SCENES

He wants speed in the blue.

SHARING TACTICS

Even if you go up, you start falling right away.

The slope is too steep.

You've got time for a targeted jump.

Jump in the mud when you're going for it.

WORKING OUT STRATEGIES

Here comes the ball. Avoid it.

You're a doll.

THEY'VE COME PREPARED FOR BATTLE WITH THEIR OWN MERCHANDISE.

Don't look at me like that.

I may have dropped the ball, but I never dropped a parcel.

That's a great statement.

SHARING THEIR FEELINGS

-Thank you. Well done.

Let's do it together!

THEY COMFORT EACH OTHER.

We will win!

THE ARMY DOESN'T GIVE UP EASILY

It's perfect.

I feel like an elephant in the wash.
