That's why I like Sasuke, Unbeatable Banzuke, and Kunoichi, for those reasons. It's all about skill, determination, and friendly competition.

As for MXC (Takeshi's Castle), I personally grew sick of it since it wasn't done in the way that the other three shows were done in. I got sick of the bad jokes and potty humor.

Either way, still seems kind of silly to do this type of a game show since, to me, it strikes me as being closer to MXC quality as opposed to Sasuke or Unbeatable Banzuke. To me, it seems like they're making fun of Japan, not idolizing it. I guess ABC is trying to cash in on all the Japanese stuff this country is showing now. Like the British invasion in the 60s, we're having a Japanese one now. =P
