Stickman SASUKE LXIX

Stickman SASUKE LXIX is the 69th edition of Stickman SASUKE, which aired in April 2017 and was the last tournament aired before the show's two-year hiatus, due to the founder Steven Wilson suffering a family tragedy in his late father's health problems and eventual passing.

This tournament was notable for the gamble in which the first grand champion, Kouji Hashimoto, announced that unless he won for a second time, he would officially RETIRE from the show. Sadly, he failed the Ultimate Limit in the 3rd Stage, four obstacles short of victory and confirmed his retirement in an emotional farewell.

The 69th tournament introduced a new opening obstacle in the Car Wash, which was a massive buff from its predecessor Midoriyama Arcade.

Tomohiro Kawaguchi was the only competitor who reached the Final Stage but came 2.5m short of the goal, claiming the title of Last Man Standing.
