hello and welcome to tokyo creative play
i'm your host chris and welcome to day
two of the ninja olympics if you haven't
seen the first video guys be sure to go
and check it out before diving into this
one otherwise it probably won't make
much sense
[Music]
today we're in the akame 48 waterfalls
area a ninja training village in the
bali city in mir prefecture it's an area
rich in nature and a great place for an
escape from the everyday hustle and
bustle essential for one's healing of
body and spirit the area is also famous
for one more thing
ninjas in the last ninja olympics the
japanese and the abroad team fought a
heated battle using the wisdom and
skills they'd cultivated through their
intense ninja training after the shooti
ken jewell the climbing technique
battled the invasion technique showdown
and the ninja relay at the sony
highlands the score stands at team japan
with 43 points and team abroad storming
ahead with 51 points let's quickly
reintroduce our two teams team japan is
made up of the two wildest ninjas shiori
and natsuki and team abroad is made up
of alex and jordan whose almost sibling
like bond can act as a help but at times
also a hindrance these two teams will
once again face off on the battlefields
of ninjutsu
our first contest of the day is cesar
cesar is the former way of sitting down
based on ancient japanese standards the
ninja need to be able to sneak up on
people in order to you know assassinate
them but they also needed to be able to
gather information about the enemy and
pass it on to their lords they needed to
avoid fighting wherever possible in
order to sneakily gather intel
the ninja had to not only be physically
strong but also wise strong in spirit
and patience just like natsuki for this
challenge the ninjas will test their
powers of spirit and patience sitting in
a special position on the hardwood
floors of the munoji temple located deep
in the mountains of nara the ninjas will
focus their minds body and spirit in
order to be crowned the winner of the
challenge so let's start with a word
from the temple monk as he teaches the
ninjas about the
foreign
let the contest begin for 20 minutes the
ninja must focus on the monks words as
their mind body and spirit are put to
the test now let's start the training
on a scale of one to concentration
look at them go
they're not
natsuki's not even blinking oh he's he's
kind of
ruining the atmosphere a little bit
alex looks like she's going to literally
kill someone
it looks like quite a nice place now
actually quite a decent atmosphere very
relaxing
[Music]
oh so much concentration look at that
cheeky smile
on jordan's face
to be fair this is actually quite
difficult i've
i've had to perfect my own kneeling
skills over the years but it's it's just
not fun i could do
i could do this for like two minutes and
then i will cry
looks like jordan is jordan finished is
jordan giving up oh no
jordan jordan i mean jordan
was the champion of pretty much every
challenge in the last episode and it's
sad to see him bow out so early on
sure natsuki with a natural advantage
here what with being japanese
and doing this quite a lot
sorry alex
sorry alex i can't say that it's so hard
amazing ninja focus from alex
shorinatsky during the caesar showdown
each of them receiving 10 points however
jordan couldn't quite make it to the end
but for his hard work we'll grace him
with a given one point yeah pitiful
point it's the taking part that counts
jordan
except it's not
after the first round the scores are 62
points to team abroad but for the first
time since the shooti chem battle team
japan has taken first place with 63
points
things are starting to heat up
now a ninja must do his best both on
water and on land and both ninja teams
have tested their physical strengths and
mental toughness in the battle so far
but ninjutsu can be said to be
a survival art one that requires
practitioners to have many skills and be
learned in many teachings with this in
mind our two teams are taking on the
challenge of rafting at the takami river
in nara prefecture it's an area popular
as a camping ground and in summer it's
crowded with people who enjoy sweet
fishing hiking forest bathing and other
pleasant water activities this next
challenge is all about balance for one
must not only read the currents but one
must also not capsize the boat because
that would be a nightmare let's see who
can read the currents and the water
level of the river and grab first place
all members will start at the same time
and race to the finish and now
here we go let the race begin
team japan win
maybe win definitely win
no no no no no no master win team
international community we're going to
win this bro we're going to win this
we're going to win this we got this i'm
looking forward to this one especially
if natsuki falls in the river
which he most certainly will
oh
it looks pretty damn cold i'm not gonna
lie
and jordan is taking the lead making up
for his absolute failure in the first
challenge
can he redeem himself
but wait he's not in the lead
it's it's literally impossible to tell
who is in the lead here but it's not
natsuki and it's not it's it's not that
sweet it's just not that sweet natsuki's
the the loser
seems to be it's like bumper cars but
with rash what is going on here
and natsuki sneakily takes the lead look
at his cheeky face
has he oh no and jordan trying not to
capsize his raft
all four of our contestants now back in
the water and jordan picking up the pace
with alex flailing about right at the
back struggling to
just just do well oh no natsuki what
have you done
it's a disaster
natsuki who's held the lead for 75
percent of the race turns his boat
around
as jordan shorey rocket past him
to the finish line and to victory
jordan taking first place shuri in
second
natsuki at last back on form
in third place with alex so far behind
we've all just given up waiting as she
flails about
at the end of the race jordan
takes ten points in first place shuri
seven points in second place natsuki
with five points and alex a measly three
points for just taking part with that in
mind the scores are
team japan gains 12 points and team
abroad 13 points
that means going into the final game
by sheer coincidence the scores are all
tied up team japan and team abroad both
with 75 points
going into the final game it's anyone's
ninja olympics to win the ninja were
required to be agile in every situation
and our final battle today takes place
in the mitsure experience exchange
center the mitsuwi experience exchange
center is a wooden elementary school
building with a 100 meter long corridor
which is actually very rare in japan no
longer an elementary school the building
has been reborn as a green tourism
center it's used for a variety of fenced
experiences but one of the most unique
competitions is the annual zorkin dash
held every year there are various kinds
of races held in the actual events such
as distance races individual races
double races relay races but for this
final competition we decided the ninjas
will face off in a relay race each ninja
will have to run 50 meters sliding along
the floors before passing the bat on to
their awaiting ninja teammate this
showdown takes a lot more skill than one
might expect balance speed technique all
essential if one might want to win this
competition
maybe you've seen japanese school
students cleaning the schools by
themselves in the media this is the case
and the students in japan have been
practicing this skill since elementary
school team japan might have a little
advantage going into this final round as
a result
stop wiping the lens and get on with it
yay
i'm just doing this for
our family and friends out there all the
supporters
all of you out there who's watching
thank you so much
we love you
will this final round go the same way as
the saver showdown only one way to find
out each teams seem to be ready
it's getting heated look at shuri's face
that is the face of
oh god
what is she already doing
and they're off
and alex
is was doing really well but she's down
she's still cold
alex the more ferocious player but at
great ferocity of great oh my god at
great force
comes great consequence like falling
over again and again and they're off
they've tagged
and that's key is not doing very well he
probably hasn't been down in the last 35
years jordan meanwhile
so far ahead
it's not even close it's it's a joke
oh dear pornotsky i don't even think he
can finish it
and he's given up
surprise surprise well done jordan that
was worryingly terrifyingly fast
if things don't work out at tc at least
he can mop a floor
absolute skills
[Applause]
[Music]
and it's all over with a final score of
82 points the winner of the 2022 ninja
olympics is team abroad yes the team of
my name team japan played an awesome
game but natsuki said three times during
a sponsor video uh it's disrespectful so
we need to minus three points from team
japan
all the challenges are over the winner
is team abroad but for team japan it's
back to the trading grounds for you in
order to help them with their training
team abroad has prepared a special
power-up drink for them oh tasty except
it's not
all right fantastic but apparently this
dream helps with uh baldness
if you're having a hair problem
it's actually good to drink this it
makes your hair grow
what this
power up juice
is
oh
[Laughter]
[Applause]
and as the victor of the ninja olympic
games team abroad will of course receive
a glorious glamorous reward team abroad
chose cesaiudian an old private house as
their reward for their stay from society
and you can see the mountains the
terrace rice fields and the nabari plain
they serve the highest quality iga beef
which is said to have been the source of
matsusaka and omid well-renowned local
sake with water from the bari one of
japan's most famous water sources
look at them the team abroad members
being pampered to no end in this
luxurious villa atop a mountain in the
countryside

such as practicing the conch shell
