Being able to offer audiences what was always one of their most beloved shows, there’s no question that people will be wanting to tune back into G4. With so many businesses still struggling and many closing due to the pandemic, it’s a relief for people to have an old favorite have a chance for a comeback.
The return of the G4 Network definitely came as a surprise but was also a welcome one. Now viewers can look forward to both American Ninja Warrior and Sasuke in 2021. The pandemic caused season 12 of ANW to be modified, completely leaving out Mount Midoriyama, but season 13 is expected to be largely back to the original version. Many familiar faces competed that first season, but only three ninjas have appeared on all 12 seasons of the American show. With that show quickly becoming their most popular offering, they decided in 2009 to make their own version, of course, named American Ninja Warrior. G4 originally started airing Sasuke in 2006 translated into English, calling it Ninja Warrior. Some still compete on both the American and Japanese courses. Sasuke was the original version of the obstacle course show and many of the stars of American Ninja Warrior got their start on the Japanese obstacle course. Instead of American Ninja Warrior, which is still running on NBC, G4 will be showing the Japanese version, also known as Sasuke. G4 has restarted its Twitter account, and posted a trailer announcing that in 2021, Ninja Warrior will be returning to the network. But in 2021, G4 has decided to make comeback and is bringing back one of its most beloved shows, Ninja Warrior. G4 never rebranded and with all of its shows redistributed, it petered out, ending broadcasting in 2014.
American Ninja Warrior moved to NBC in 2013. Many of G4’s most popular shows were shifted to other networks. As of now, the taping for the 25th tournament is coming to an end, and the production for the live stream in now ongoing. It was taped on ROBLOX and later premiered by live stream on his YouTube Channel, called Reality Productions. G4 was going to be rebranded as the Esquire Network and shift its focus from gaming to male-focused fashion and travel. Super ROBLOX Warrior is an ongoing Custom SASUKE show which created and hosted by realityisawesome. It’s going to be an exciting year for new and old Ninja Warrior fans alike. But it’s not the same Ninja Warrior that will be shown on NBC starting May 31. The G4 network just dropped a teaser announcing that Ninja Warrior is returning to its network after an eight-year hiatus. Viewers looking forward to a new season of American Ninja Warrior will get a double helping of their favorite obstacle course show in 2021.
