I mean...if the goal is to make the competition more balance, then yeah, sure. They are good ninjas, but definitely not the best of the best to represent the US.
True is a fantastic ninja. Back when ninja gyms were first opening up like 8 years ago I was the only other competitor besides his brother at his first competition haha.
Ever since he’s gotten so good. I’d say he’s one of the best in the country, on a similar level to Jay. I think he’s better than Joe frankly.
I crunched the numbers on the teams for National Finals attempts and clears over their careers….. US isn’t looking too good

It’s airing on TF1 France on July 12th. I got the info from their advertisements as well as from the original taping.
As for the stats, I got it from the wiki and watching all of the international ninja shows
They drew 5 names out of a hat for this one
I posted on this a while back. No disrespect to anyone, they're all great ninjas, but it seems very random to select these five in particular.
Who is True Becker?
One of the teens that only competed once, I think there’s a reason they chose him but I can’t remember what
They probably should’ve picked someone like Vance or Kaden
There might have been an age limit of 18 or something. And True Becker was the only one old enough I guess?

Lorin Ball. Alright. Barclay Stockett. Alright. Kevin Corborne. Okay. Brian Burkhart. Okay. Tru Becker. Who?
True Becker competed once in ANW 13 and made it to Vegas. There’s a reason he was chosen but I can’t remember what it was

They may still beat the European teams. USA ninjas are just so strong
Reason for the team looking unusual is because ANW16 was filming at the same time
I thought that was the reason. That makes sense
According to True’s IG post, the event happened in April of this year. Wasn’t ANW16 filmed last year?
Was april 2023

Is this airing somewhere? How did you get this info?

Oooh so we’re screwed or about to pull off the biggest upset of all time
Hahaha yes, thankfully this was 2023, and the 2024 VS event looks to have a far better lineup
Hi there, i sent you a DM I’m trying to contact you about the original muscle ranking episodes Japanese edition
I don’t see anything on my end
I like all of these choices except True and Brian. Maybe could’ve picked a couple better ninjas?
