welcome to tokyo creative play i'm your
host chris from above japan today we're
in the beautiful akame 48 waterfalls
area the home of ninja training akame is
located in nebari city near prefecture
with an abundance of protected wildlife
spots waterfalls it's even home to the
giant salamander nationally treasured
animal as well as many different species
of wild plants and animals the nature of
akame might be breathtakingly beautiful
but there's one thing that has attracted
people to this area for generations and
that of course is the ninja
akame 48 waterfalls is the birthplace of
the iga ninja and their secret
techniques that have been passed down
from generation to generation to this
day it's known as the home of ninja
training and you the viewer can practice
ninja training right here
not wanting to miss out on this
opportunity the team at tokyo creative
decided to learn about the ninja and
undergo rigorous training to become
ninja themselves with the training
complete we split these newly birthed
ninjas into teams to host the 2022 ninja
olympics and no i didn't come up with
that name they did i would have come up
with something that was um
good
so here are the teams participating in
the ninja olympics representing team
japan will be natsuki natsuki's
movements are always unpredictable you
never know what kind of jutsu he will
unleash on you and fighting alongside
him is shiori also known as the little
giant shiori it's clever it's a contrast
of sizes sure he trained her ninja
skills at the central waterfall the 48
waterfalls of akame dainichi falls
dainichi nuri is considered a central
object in buddhism so practicing at
dainichi waterfall was the most
meaningful for ninja training and
competing against them is team abroad
it's clever it's got my name the member
of team abroad is alex from malaysia
with her keen eyesight trained by years
of camera work she can see through any
technique of the opposing team and
joining her from england is jordan no
one knows what secrets he has hidden
inside his afro he's definitely one to
watch in this tournament in addition to
the above members the sponsors of this
year's competition the akameer 48
waterfalls valley conservation society
will be bringing in skilled ninjas as
supporters now let's take a look at the
stage of the competition our first
challenge will be held at the ninja
forest of akame 48 waterfalls
about 400 years ago
the founder of the iga ninja and his
disciples actually home their ninja
skills in this area thus this area has
birthed many ninjas today akame is
simple to get to as it's only a 10
minute bus ride from akameguchi station
anyone who joins the ninja forest in the
akka museum of natural history we'll be
able to experience more than 20 ninja
training experiences here using ninja
tools climbing jumping and hiding
techniques with the training taking
place in ninja costumes
there's lots of ninja things that's the
main thing you need to know
the two teams will take on three
different ninja training challenges in
these hallowed grounds who will reign
ninja supreme in this ninja olympics i'm
reading off the script again i wouldn't
use the word ninja olympics in real life
our first challenge is the shootie ken
showdown
shooting ken are known to all ninja fans
but there are many theories about their
use one theory is that they were used to
distract enemies by striking them while
running away rather than to simply
attack them or that they were used as
weapons to assassinate important people
by coating the blades with poison
for the shootie ken showdown ninjas will
receive one point for every shuriken
that pierces the board three points for
those that enter the circle and a
massive spectacular five points for
those that hit the bullseye and one
point will be deducted if it doesn't hit
anything at all
the ninjas that will be facing off in
these first games are shiori from team
japan and alex from team abroad let's
begin
yeah
fast
and we're off to a disappointed stop
very good
the first one was just the warm-up
oh my god she's she's pretty getting
quite good at this quite worrying
she's had practice what's she been doing
in her spare time
generally she did all right i'll give
her that much
let's see if alex can top that shouldn't
be too hard let's face it
aim for the black and black no all right
come on go got it easy
oh my god the world's worst assassin
don't send alex to do the job someone's
gonna get
well no one's gonna get killed because
she can't hear anything no we're fine
everything's okay
what is she doing what is alex doing how
is this even possible to do this poorly
she's trying she's oh commiserations to
alex that was just an absolute disaster
at the end of the first round team japan
has eight points and team abroad has
minus two
let's watch the next challenge for god's
sake alex flying the flag of abroad
you've got to do better than that
back in the good old days ninja were
hired as mercenaries by warring factions
and had to climb over all kinds of walls
and buildings ninja even had to cross
moats in order to break into castles in
today's terms it can be said that they
were required to have free climbing-like
skills in this training the ninja will
be tasked with jumping over higher and
higher walls but who can jump over the
wall in the coolest way just like the
ninjas dead ninja style points will be
given out to the ninjas that jump the
wall in the best possible way and for
this round we have afro jordan from team
abroad versus breakthrough natsuki from
team japan which ninja will be the
strongest
having seen natsuki do literally no
exercise in 10 years my money is on
jordan for this one
he's got this come on
and he's off
and he's doing pretty well
very slick very stylish
swift deadly
like a ninja i don't even think natsuki
can get over that third wall
he's not gonna do it
[Music]
but well done jordan i know who i'm
gonna hire to assassinate ryotaro
and natsuki's away
and that
is just dreadful there's no style
uh what on earth did we just witness
did he did he climb
[Music]
take a running jump
oh dear
minus all the points minus all the
points what a bloody disaster
cheating scum the ninja would be very
disappointed
absolute travesty at the end of this
round it's 23 points to jordan and a
measly 13 points to natsuki that means
after the second game both team japan
and team abroad are sitting at 21 points
now for the next challenge at the ninja
training hall this is intrusion training
like splinter cell using a rope ninjas
must be able to sneak into any enemy
stronghold sneaking across castle mates
is one thing but a ninja must be able to
cross quickly on a rope without so much
as a toe touching the waters below any
moisture on the ninja's clothing could
not only slow them down but would also
dampen their abilities to move within
the castle silently balance is going to
be key here as leaning too far one way
or another can result in a fall so far
both teams have won one match each so
it's going to be a tough battle the more
our ninjas can scale the more points
they'll receive scale the whole rope and
you'll receive 10 points with halfway
giving you a measly five points so
without further ado let's see the
challenge and for this game we have
shorey versus jordan
the two winners
a very cocky shiori here
not sure how i want to win this one
probably not shiori
and she's off she's doing pretty well
actually
oh
she's still on the rope though she's
still on the ropes
keep going keep wiggling
stop cheating natsuki
and we're off again i'm not really sure
why she's doing it again
she's enjoying this a bit too much as
far as i'm concerned
what is she doing with her face
why is she pulling that face
[Applause]
[Music]
nice
well done shiori i'm not really sure if
that's good or not guess we'll have to
wait and see how jordan does it
you're both all right yeah are you ready
yeah all right three
two
one
start
he's off and he's away looking like a
deadly ninja look at that concentration
in stark contrast to shiori's ridiculous
face
he's he's doing pretty damn well
no he's always down he's down three
that's a pretty good start though one go
he's off a second
doing very well concentrating incredibly
hard
laser-like focus
all the way to the finish well done
jordan the undisputed champion a solid
effort doing team abroad very proud
indeed
the results are sure he did pretty damn
well scaling percent of the rope on the
first try and eighty percent on the
second try receiving a final score of 14
points however jordan must have been
practicing his rope scaling technique
because he managed to clear 80 on his
first try and a massive 100 on his
second try giving him a score of 18
points that takes team japan to 35
points with team abroad slightly ahead
with 39 yes
i'm definitely not biased
for the last event of the day we head to
sunny highlands nara prefecture about a
30 minute drive from nabari station this
plateau is beautiful scenery throughout
the four seasons with lush greenery in
spring and summer and silver grass
visible in the fall and winter and today
these beautiful hills will host only one
thing a ninja relay an engine needs not
only the ability to be covert but also
the ability to run fast in any terrain
the steep slopes of sony highlands the
perfect place to test your ninja running
skills
in this relay the ninjas will use gopros
as a battle just like the ninjas would
have done back in the day only when the
baton has been passed from one ninja to
another can the other ninja start
running natsuki will be given a slight
handicap as he is about 15 years older
than the other participants
and now shinobi relay is about to begin
and they're away with natsuki's little
handicap
well it will actually make a difference
he's doing pretty well man
that is the fastest i've seen natsuki do
anything in the last 10 years
[Music]
and sure he's away
is that small lead going to make a
difference probably not
oh dear jordan's annihilated her look at
that
netsky crumples to the floor
[Music]
an impressive performance from team
japan i've never seen natsuki run like
that they get eight points but
unfortunately for them jordan used his
amazing training on the mountains to
clinch the win giving team abroad a
massive incredible super 12 points
well done team abroad my favorite
at the end of today's games the results
are team japan sitting on 43 points but
team abroad leaping ahead with a massive
51 points the games aren't over yet
