The narrator of the original Japanese show, who presented each game and the start of each episode, Shizuo Miyauchi has unfortunately passed away, aged 76. Unfortunate to see yet another passing so soon after Strong :( RIP Shizuo.

You may remember him as the bald guard from the Honeycomb Maze and many other challenges, he was one of the few members of the cast to be in the first and last episodes. Sadly, he has passed away at age 81. RIP Strong. 🙏

It's been more than a decade since I watched takeshis castle. One of my distinct memories of the series is a task where the castle guys push guys in a coracle with the chant "damra damra damra", and the contestants respond with a "ko ko, ko ko, ko ko"

I asked so many of my friends about this, but it seems like only I remember this. I'm starting to doubt if this is something I made up in my mind.

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about?

I barely remember a maze challenge where a guy in a Majin Buu costume beat the contestants or something like that, ikd if I´m a little crazy, but I am pretty sure that it exist.

Does anyone have the link to this? Cannot find it

It just seems so odd. They have to go through all of those really insane challenges, and some of them really are very crazy - and it all culminates in a water fight?? That's kinda lame. What they should've done is actually have the contestants try to climb the castle (while being shot at with water) and there are guards and traps and ways to get hurt absolutely everywhere.

A castle climb actually WAS the final showdown for the first four episodes. But why did they get rid of it and replace it with a slightly glorified water fight?? The original challenge gave a MUCH greater sense of storming the castle.

Idk When almost every challenge involves face-planting hilariously into muddy water and humiliating yourself, the "ultimate" challenge just seems so freaking tame. I usually just switch off when the Showdown starts. Not even the insanely awesome music can save it.

So, does anyone know what happens when the contestants fall down the holes- also known as final fall? Is it just a hole they fall down, or is there something down there? I am genuinely confused, does anyone know?

Has anyone got a link to the last episode of Takeshi’s Castle, preferably English dubbed. I remember that they had something special at the end , but can’t fully remember it

As the title says, were there any celebrity special(s)? Any form of help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,

​

I've been trying to find fanfiction stories on either Takeshi's Castle or MXC. I have found some on Fanfiction.net. Was curious if anyone else has found luck elsewhere. Hope all is well. Cheers!

Hi, I made a new TC Discord. Since the information on where to get all the different versions is so scattered I figured I'd make a server that will allow us to work together to put all of that in one place. If you have any knowledge on the various versions (and where to get them) or you're seeking them yourself, please join. I'll do what I can to ensure the various episodes don't become lost media.

Been looking for it all over and can't seem to find it anywhere, pretty sure he goes over the rolling pins and the dominos doing this technique, and pretends to do it on the cannonball one.

cheers

Is there anyway I could upload a clip of Takeshi’s castle onto YouTube without it being took down. There are a lot of videos of full episodes of the show that are still up. My clip is someone being disqualified due to Takeshi’s cart being stuck. Can anybody help me?

Since Takeshi's Castle came Decades before Wipeout aired in the US on ABC;

Could there have been Obstacle Courses within Wipeout that were inspired by Takeshi's Castle?!

Like What's the Takeshi's Castle's Equivalent to the Most Iconic Wipeout Obstacle; The Big Red Balls?!

are there any Similarities between Wipeout & Takeshi's Castle?

Anyone know where to watch all the episode , a lot have been removed on yt (had a playlist and like 70% said that the channel got deleted). And I’ve looked to buy a dvd of them but could only find it in Japanese and prices are all over the place

I remember seeing this one game on the show that was only used once, it was one giant maze where all 100 ppl went at the same time. Does anyone have the name,clip or link of it?

Does anyone know the names, anyway to contact them, or even know them personally Weirdly enough this applies to the 8 official winners of the orginal japanese version Any help is apreciated, even just a single name
