The first season of the American
television network. Levi Meeuwenberg was the "Last Ninja Standing," meaning he made it the furthest of any American competitor on Sasuke 23.[2] The season operated on a lower budget than any other season, and only two contestants who competed in the first season also competed in all thirteen other seasons: Brian Kretsch and David Campbell.[3]

Finals
In the finals, competitors must face two challenges. The two times on each challenge combined are a given contestant's total time. The ten contestants with the top times go on to compete in Sasuke 23.
Challenge #1: Competitors must shove 10 large slabs across a 50-foot (15 m) distance and arrange them in a pyramidal structure while a bungee cord (with a big tire on the end) is strapped to them.
Challenge #2: In the first of three parts in this challenge competitors must crawl under a cargo net. Then, they must walk across two logs with a heavy barrel lifted high over their head. Finally, they must run through a forest of tires without touching them.
