  • 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 fear.

  • Today we're in the Alchemy 48 waterfalls area and into training village in the body city in mere 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 for a heated battle using the wisdom and skills they had cultivated through their intense ninja training after the shooting ken jewel, the climbing technique battle 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, Suri and Nowitzki and team abroad is made up of Alex and Jordan who's 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 caesar caesar is the formal way of sitting down based on ancient japanese standards, the ninja need to be able to sneak up on people in order to 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 patients, just like Nowitzki for this challenge.

  • The ninjas will test their powers of spirit and patients sitting in a special position on the hardwood floors of the temple located deep in the mountains of the ninjas will focus their minds, body and spirit in order to be crowned the winner of the challenge.

  • So let's start with the word from the temple monk as he teaches the ninjas about the temple, 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 train On a scale of 1 to concentration.

  • Look at them go, they're not nazis, not even blinking.

  • Oh, he's, he's kind of 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 there actually quite a decent atmosphere, very relaxing or so much concentration.

  • Look at that cheeky smile on Orton'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.

  • It looks like Jordan's, it's Jordan finished.

  • Is Jordan given up?

  • Oh no jordans, jordans.

  • Jordans was the champion of pretty much every challenge in the last episode and it's sad to see him bow out so early on.

  • Yes, surely not ski with a natural advantage here.

  • What with being japanese doing this quite a lot.

  • Sorry, Alex, sorry Alex, I can't say that it's so hard.

  • Amazing.

  • Ninja focus from Alex surely not ski during the Sezer showdown, each of them receiving 10 points.

  • However, Jordan couldn't quite make it to the end, but for his hard work will grace him with a given one point.

  • Their pitiful point, it's the taking part that counts Jourdan except it's not After the first round.

  • The scores are 62 points to team abroad, but for the first time since the shooting came 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 strength 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 and the Takumi River in Nara Prefecture, it's an area popular as a camping ground and in summer is crowded with people who enjoy sweet fishing, hiking forest, bathing, another 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 grabbed first place.

  • All members will start at the same time and race to the finish and now there we go.

  • Let the race begin.

  • Maybe we'll definitely win.

  • Must win.

  • International community.

  • You were going to win this.

  • I'm looking forward to this one, especially if Nevsky fills in the river, which he most certainly will.

  • He then by ninja, then they're away.

  • It looked 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 literally impossible to tell who is in the lead here, but it's not, not ski and it's not, it's not nasty.

  • It's just not that sweet nazis.

  • The laser.

  • Yeah, there seems to be, it's like bumper cars, but with rafts, what is going on here and Nowitzki sneakily takes the lead, look at his cheeky face, has he?

  • Oh no, Jordans try not to capsize his raft.

  • All four of our contestants now back in the water and Jordan's picking up the pace with Alex flailing about right at the back, struggling to just just do well.

  • Oh no, not ski, what have you done?

  • It's a disaster.

  • Nowitzki, who's held the lead for 75% of the race, turned his boat around as Jordan's Suri rocket past him to the finish line and to victory, Jordan taking first place.

  • Suri in 2nd, nasty at last, back on form in third place with Alex so far behind, we've all just given up waiting and she flails about at the end of the race, jordans, It takes 10 points for first place, surely seven points in second place, not ski 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 Mitsui Experience Exchange center.

  • The Mitsui experience Exchange center is a wooden elementary school building with 100 m 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 events and experiences, but one of the most unique competitions is the annual Zolkin 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 m, sliding along the floors before passing the baton 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 school since elementary school team Japan might have a little advantage going into this final round as a result, stop wiping the leads and get on with it.

  • Yeah, I'm just doing this for our family and friends out there and 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 sea is a showdown.

  • Only one way to find out.

  • Each teams seem to be ready.

  • It's getting heated.

  • Look at Shorty's face, that is the face of God, what is she already doing detention detention for Suri and they're off and Alex it was doing really well but she's down, she's got, that's right Alex, the more ferocious player, but a great ferocity.

  • Great.

  • Oh my God, at great force becomes 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, paul not ski, I don't even think you 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 T.
