The 23rd Competition, official name: SASUKE2009秋 (literally Sasuke 2009 Fall), is the sixth tournament since Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha in SASUKE 17. This is arguably one of the best and most controversial tournaments to not have a winner. Preliminary trials were held before this tournament. The SASUKE Trials had six representatives and the American Ninja Challenge had ten. Several new obstacles were introduced into the course. In the First Stage, the Jyunidantobi replaced the Rokudantobi and the Curtain Slider replaced the Circle Hammer. However, even with these new obstacles, the results of this tournament were vastly better than any Shin-SASUKE tournament. An amazing 16 people cleared, the most since SASUKE 16. The SASUKE Trials had four of its six representatives clear along with two more former qualifiers, Urushihara Yuuji and Kanno Hitoshi. Of the American Ninja Warrior qualifiers, three cleared. This tournament also proved to be the resurgence of the SASUKE All-Stars. While only four competed, the fewest since all six were named "All-Stars", three of them cleared and all of them got to the Slider Jump. 8 of the last ten people cleared, including 6 straight people from #92 to #97. After 2 and a half years and 5 failed attempts, Yamamoto Shingo finally cleared the First Stage. Nagano Makoto had to run his First Stage attempt twice. In the first run, he made it to the Slider Jump but because of a malfunction, he failed there. He was allowed to run again after a break and cleared with ease.
