Okay, I'm convinced there's a mountain Dojo somewhere in Japan that trains this guy to fight crime with Yoyos.

[@Rhythmattica]

Its hidden in secrecy, and the name cannot be said, unless you have made the pilgrimage. I believe its a place called Yosucka.

[@A_Person465]

Lol

[@rustyd317]

Rhythmattica silently approachs with razorsharp yo-yo

[@A_Person465]

😂

[@mallusaih]

This is only on 2a style tho

[@EvanNagao]

Shu is my hero!!!!!!

[@준섹이사냥꾼풀버전저]

Evan Nagao WOW

[@hobbyismylife.1752]

Evan ♡♡

[@IGsen]

No homo

[@natenguyenyoyo2791]

Yes

[@illinoia8357]

I dunno man, seems pretty gei to me

[@MorningSunglasses]

Wha the f...what sort of black magic sorcery did I just watch? I'm pretty sure Hogwarts has rules against this type of shit.

[@ephycc]

What yoyo players see: Shu's insane looping with YYF Loop 2020. What non-yoyo players see: Two orange things moving in a weird direction.

[@lamp1739]

Erick Tsidina lol

[@willwalter1384]

It’s actually the loop 720

[@toby.2a]

no, it's 2020. the orange 720 came out after orange 2020. he does use 720 a lot now though

[@dude4549]

The initiator and the something else is a really good looping yoyo, I don't know what more people don't use them

[@sillowillo]

@@toby.2a oh it did?? I thought the 2020s came after

[@JustRelaxingBeats]

1st place wins $600 USD? That wouldn't even pay for the trip to Iceland.

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Yo, yo, yo, yo! That's not enough money, yo!

[@A.C.Lawrence]

That's what happens when you compete in a 2 decade old fad.

[@Af0]

lol ouch

[@Af0]

where does it say? a lot of sponsors on that stage - surely it can that low yo?

[@FightingPanda]

Boom Town there's no such thing. A "fad" is a short lived trend. Yoyos aren't a "fad". Spinners are a fad because it was very short lived. Yoyo's were a fad, but now they're not since they're not really popular

[@LaissaJM]

I really love Takada's moves while doing the Yoyo act in AGT 😍🌟

[@sssjjjttt]

The GOD of Yoyo is among us. ALL SHALL BEHOLD AND KNEEL BEFORE YOUR YOYO LORD & SAVIOR!!

[@andybliss5965]

Was having a bad day near Yokohama today but as I was sitting in he sun I heard some music playing and saw this guy doing his stuff, he really brightened my day

[@AndeeRoemoe]

Shu has SO much energy. Makes 2A enjoyable to watch

[@takingshape470]

Skilled as hell + bonus points for Prodigy!!

[@TomCourtney]

WOW, like OMFG WOW, that is the most amazing Yoyo jazz I have ever seem, Well done Shu Takada!

[@prod.eenigma]

Tom Courtney ok no offence but it's honestly funny reading non yoyoers comments

[@LomiHEART]

holy shit, its gonna be pretty fucking hard to top this

[@norielformarejo8455]

1A, 2A, 3A, 4A Champs have defended their title. Amazing Japan.

[@JetNekko]

and 5A

[@hyperrr5528]

Irvin Ong Well, Takeshi won WYYC 2016 while Takuma won this year’s WYYC.

[@christophobia6415]

What about !mmotion, Tessa Picillo, and Jakub Konecny?

[@esaamohammed1073]

Anyone else watched that flip at the beginning like 20 times?

[@sashah78]

Everyone did, everyone

[@bender9754]

I will never have that much energy at one time

[@khizrakhan5850]

I met him today while he was being photo shoot.and i was just passing by but i smelled some talented vibes so i asked him who he was and he intorduced himself as two time champion and i was like ok lets take a selfie.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnddddddd i aaaammmmmm shhhhoooookkkkeeeddddd nowwwwwww

[@ma.esther9637]

Came here because I saw him in AGT😀😀😀😀😀

[@ARSENAL_supremacy]

me too 🤠

[@Zeonjin]

yes he's so good

[@friendlyspectr]

as soon as shinji stopped competing shu is not going to lose

[@shaave]

What a dude. Mad respect for Japan this year.

[@thelookingcat]

it's like every year 2a becomes more and more like 1a

[@tikkubull]

1:40 ここやべぇ！！！！

[@justinisorange]

shu is definitely more showy and has some brilliant showmanship but I think shinji is all around better at 2a

[@YoYoCharlie_YYC]

Too good

[@blahmin8344]

ikr

[@electrilizeelectricgaming8171]

The guy is like EXTREMELY LEGIT like the flip. No wonder he is first

[@silaswoodruff1657]

Jon Maravilla you comment on every yoyo vid...respect.

[@yowav3]

just the back flip off rip got me hooked

[@dillontsang3310]

The beat dropped harder than my grades in 6th grade

[@distortion_fantom5646]

ImNotTryhqrd :D hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk to you again that's all I remember

[@A.C.Lawrence]

I will never be as good at anything as this guy it at Yo-Yo's.

[@DerpyhitoBrony314]

OMG he is fan flapping tastic !!!!!!!!!!!

[@eltiobry3859]

He is amazing, I would love to play like that someday

[@ditatania8516]

My fav vid during the days when i broke my arms and twisted my wrist. Even in my superb time, no way i could flip and yoyo like dat.

[@gabrielcarrijo1846]

Imagine if he had failed ghe first backflip at 0:10 how stupid would that look

[@Average_Libtard]

He could beat the hell out of you, into submission, crying for your mammy, just with two yoyos...

[@CaneMcKeyton]

Anyone coming here from AGT can see he was holding way back at auditions

[@none0113]

I think only true yoyo players understand, because the first time i saw this I thought it was easy, that i totally forgot how hard is it to do a backflip, although the backflip synced with music was really sick

[@trust5227]

2:21 floor gang???

[@aprilh3532]

SHU! OMG!!!! You are THE BEST AT your SPORT! Just watched you for the first time on ATL: You ROCK young man!!!! LOVE Love LOVE you!!!!! BE your best and you will do it!!!!

[@jackuniverse_]

[@emmashobbiesandpets768]

This guys creativity blows my mind!!

[@pmkngaminghd7194]

Shu and Hajime are Masters of their kind of YoYo!

[@khizrakhan5850]

I love this guy as he is sooooooooo humble cute and polite when he meet others

[@bonneytakhelmayum8839]

He makes it seem so EZ

[@henryfreihoff5215]

He almost missed the first flip

[@mr.t3440]

He's not using the yoyo , the Yoyo is using him

[@m.kanzulchilmi2626]

Omg.. 😱😱😱👏👏👏

[@clashoflions7339]

Aren't they allowed to put some lights in to those yo yo things? It would look super cool, although maybe it would distract him

[@ああ-h5n1o]

日本人いないの！？

[@teamMakkiExplorer]

He can literally do tricks while sleeping 😊

[@pecfree]

That was freaking sick!! Next level shit right there

[@blahmin8344]

wow those flips

[@GeddyRC]

I like how the soundtrack he chose was from the same time as the invention of yo-yos

[@iamax8307]

Wow.. Good moves and tricks and good crowd interaction.. Well deserved

[@bruhbruh-rk5pg]

wow 2 haters already disliked this video... and it was an amazing freestyle

[@ASUThunderGD]

Its Gentry Stein and Paul Kerbel 😂😂

[@jamesmiller4265]

The advertisement in the background hinders the visual. Can't see the yoyos very well.

[@clashoflions7339]

*I Madara Uchiha declare you the strongest*

[@cyrusmann5443]

y'know, its wild that all somebody needs is a simple skill toy to break the laws of physics.

[@faboolooz2352]

I just started 2a and thought I was cool because I could do loops one hand and flips ond other until I saw this 🤣

[@Teslanoma]

WOW. Shu Takada absolutely slayed.

[@tarasr]

That’s unreal. You should have great talent and train 25/24 hours a day to achieve such level. WOW

[@nangnguyen9352]

Wtf he just backflip when he just pullied his yo-yo out and that crazy

[@trust5227]

Ummmmmmm... Woah... And I was impressed with Gentries 1A Worlds...

[@gfkys]

[@chetosconp3603]

This song its perfec for a geometry dash level o amm hod video

[@sashah78]

[@changhyeontonysung2282]

What is the 2nd song? Btw his backflip is insane..

[@alad2398]

I just started 2a yesterday this isn't gonna be easy is it...

[@Defjulianimations]

How the heck does the point system work in 2a yoyoing

[@hypnoxxer]

One of his best routines of all time

[@mikeclockies9946]

[@emmashobbiesandpets768]

[@passmeafckineggroll]

I used to not think highly of 2A yoyoing but seeing this really changed my mind.

[@SuperDan2315]

Anyone know the remix of Thong song @ 1:50?

[@mael6224]

Can't wait for pewdiepie to see this

[@nguyenconghuy3847]

dalmn

[@LightSpeedDevil]

The best

[@IcejjfishTbone]

2a has gotta be the most fun looking

[@cooler1854]

What yoyo was guy in video using ?

[@YoYoContestCentral]

Loop 2020 yo-yos from Yoyofactory

[@ASUThunderGD]

John Ando!!! :D

[@wardoge]

the multi camera set up is clutch bro.

[@zainab225]

Probably my fav routine

[@iintobe]

That signature backflip

[@yeetimothykenttristanp.9785]

How is this still different with 3A type competition?

[@YoYoContestCentral]

3A yo-yos are usually butterfly shaped / unresponsive, and 3A tricks often involve landing the yo-yos on the string while sleeping. 2A yo-yos are more narrow / responsive, do not sleep as long, and 2A tricks are based around “looping” style tricks rather than tricks where the yo-yo lands on the string.

[@sarahvsl]

Holy COW he is so fast so talented

[@FraktalPriest]

Wow!

[@dillontsang3310]

But can he do walk the dog? xD
