Slam Dunk

Slam Dunk is an obstacle that will be introduced on ĐHN SASUKE 2021: Ninja Warrior as the first obstacle of the Third Stage, replacing the Flying Bar from the previous season.

It consisted of two balls, each with handholds on the left and right sides. Competitors must grab the first ball and build enough swing to hop it and land onto cradle in front. Then, they must grab the second ball and repeat the same process as on the first ball. After that, competitors must build enough swing and momentum to make the dismount to the landing platform. Due to in fact nobody cleared the First Stage, all of the courses except the First Stage were left unattempted. The Slam Dunk was no exception.

The obstacle returned for ĐHN SASUKE 2021: Ninja Warrior 2 once again as the first obstacle of the Third Stage, but it was left unattempted one again due to nobody cleared the First Stage for the second time.

In ĐHN SASUKE 2022: Ninja Warrior 3, the obstacle was finally attempted by Orm Marius and Inazuma Sofia, but both were falled while hop the ball to the second hoop. In ĐHN SASUKE 2022: Sofia's 10th Anniversary, the obstacle directly led into the Sidewinder without any rest. This time, the obstacle was finally beaten by Haruno Sakura.
