Kensho Ono Suffers the First Back Spasm of His Life?! Tasuku Hatanaka Stunned by the Unexpected Reason

At the top of the show, Kensho Ono revealed that he had thrown out his back for the first time in his life. He explained that after returning home from Los Angeles, he went to take out kitchen scraps he'd left sitting for a while, and the moment he gagged at the smell, a sharp pain shot through his back. Tasuku Hatanaka couldn't hide his shock, exclaiming, "Wait, what?! You gagged, and that's what threw your back out?!" Ono then re-enacted the exact motion that triggered his back spasm, kicking off the show with a huge laugh.

Kensho Ono & Tasuku Hatanaka Apprentice Under a 40-Year Crane Game Pro?! The Results Have Them Buzzing

This episode featured Naoya Igarashi, the only certified pro instructor registered with the Japan Crane Game Association. With 40 years of crane-game experience and a staggering 17 million yen spent along the way, Igarashi taught Ono and Hatanaka the tricks of the trade. Taking turns at the machine, the two successfully claimed stuffed-toy prizes.

Looking back, Hatanaka said, "I had this idea that you just had to grip the prize — I never thought about hooking or turning it." Ono was fired up too, saying, "It completely changed how I think about this. Is there an arcade open after this?" while Hatanaka gushed, "Now that I've picked up these skills, I really want to try them out." Both voiced their eagerness to aim for Level 2 in the Japan Crane Game Association's "Kuretatsu" certification.
