The guy behind the counter looked like he disguised himself as bad as magnus tends to do at times😂

Magnus not recognizing the gym associate is funny. Him seemingly nonchalantly not recognizing Magnus is something else all together!

The front desk guy pulled the uno reverso card on ya. All those times dressing up as someone else haha 😂

5 years???? that hurt how time flies by

Magnus is going to become a creature of myth for this gym. Returning from across the sea every five years, to complete a project and then disappears again.

"I was stronger before, but I just wanted it more this time". Thank you, I needed to hear that.

So cool that Magnus somehow brought the community together to make the worst rated gym become the best rated gym.

Now we know why Magnus thinks a wig is the perfect disguise😂

Him not realizing that the employee is the same guy 😂😂

Him not recognizing the gym associate because he has a bit longer hair now explains why Magnus always thinks that changing his hair a bit is enough as a disguise - it would certainly work for himself

I'm starting to think that people not recognizing Clark Kent as Superman, isn't such a dumb idea after all.

I love the completely blank stare when he mentions pewdiepie and then instant reaction to Tomoa lol

Starting an informal petition for Magnus to make this a "every 5 year" tradition. It'd be so cool if he took a photo with them every time too!

It’s crazy how different japanese culture is. The fact that the gym employee recognised Magnus and didn’t say anything despite clearly being happy about him coming is mind-blowing to me

5:23 Hearing Magnus say "but I want to get into it more" is hilarious and ironic, it sounded exactly like my friends who have gone climbing 3 times in their life before and are having fun and "want to get into it more". there are levels to everything

The synchronized head movement on 14:18 XD

God damnit Magnus I need your videos to be at least 30 minutes

Something incredibly wholesome about the notion that 5 years later you come back to the „worst rated gym in tokyo“ and can now call it the „best rated gym in tokyo“

The sequel we’ve all been waiting for !

Bros new hair cut is better than any of Magnus' disguises

This is the type of content we want to see🙏🙏🙏

I love the idea of the lowest grade having non-specific foot holds, it makes it that one step easier and more accessible, allowing a load more people to be able to give it a go.

The OG video is one of my comfort videos on all of KZfaq. The vibes of just Tokyo, its raining, the cozy gym size, the editing. Truly an unmatched video inn my book. And the pt 2. with the same guy is just as good. Thanks so much man. Love the content.

With the world changing so fast, there's something deeply comforting about a gym (or any favourite place for that matter) remaining the same as when you left them last. It's like coming back home to see the folks, or to find your favourite pub still standing.

This video was so wholesome, I love that the old staff are still there and are just as enthusiastic as ever.

Oh man 5 years already? I remember this very well, absolutely loved the redemption arc going from 0 to hero :D

Seeing a KZfaqr use their influence in this way is so wholesome. Keep it up with this content magnus!

I love the man working there. He was so kind and fun.

You did it Magnus, I'm gonna climb tomorrow with friends of mine for the first time! I like your chill attitude and your passion for the sport you convinced me I at least had to try it! Cheers from Quebec!

That gym associate is such a good dude. So humble, so kind, so patient and wise. Thanks for taking time in your videos to highlight the good ones you meet along the way :) And how awesome to see you tear up a project route, great vibes from this video Magnus!

I just rewatched the original vid yesterday, its my favorite video from your channel, and this sequel its equally good. Im so happy that you keep doing this type of video, the chill vibe is unmatched.

Respect to the gym owners. They put in the effort and it paid off.

You can feel the warmth and coziness of this video. I wonder if the guy behind the counter was just trying to be respectful and not overreacting when seeing Magnus again or if he genuinely didn't recognize him. The latter feels like a longshot!

Hope you guys also got a group photo this time! I am so happy to see you came back to this gym!

i literally just wanna cry, this was such a beautiful watch

I love the climbing community so much. Magnus was my first impression on the sport and lemme tell you it was and still is such a good one. He is always so humble and connected to the whole community, and so fun to watch :)

The most impressive move in this whole video for me is at 10:59 - getting your foot up that high across body at chest height is insane and super cool to watch. The rest of the climb, the hip sinking is so effortless. Love the Japanese culture, people are so friendly and polite.

Small gyms need this kind of love. Really happy you revisit them. 😊

Return to this gym in 5 years please. This was such a relaxing and lowkey funny video with the same guys being there 5 years later and the gym that hasn’t changed a tiny bit, love it!

This video, accidentally or not, had so much texture and story, and feeling. I feel as if I was invited into a vignette of your life Magnus. And I too am growing older with you, I remember watching the original when you posted it. Hope you’re well. Also my French father in law has the exact same manner of speaking with strangers or folks he thinks he may know…must be a European thing lol

That last video from this gym was the first Magnus video i saw and eventually this channel motivated me to try climbing, its so satisfying to see him come back there. As always, amazing video Magnus!

Hey Magnus I just want to say your videos inspired me to start climbing and I now have an obsession with the sport

Seeing how the awkwardness turns into companionship is amazing :)

I felt nostalgiс, as if I had stepped back into this gym after five years myself. Thank you for the great content, Magnus!

I wasn't expecting that! I remember watching this video when it came out at the time, it was really good!

What a heartwarming video.. Love the down to earth personality and the variation in climbing content!

The music choices are PERFECT, so well suited and pushes the video along and keeps it engaging while you aren't talking.

This was great to watch! There's nothing quite like the little friendships we make with people around the world. I'm glad you got to reconnect with these guys :)

2:01 magnus’ amazing memory coming in clutch here XD

Omg. Commented on another video requesting Magnus to revisit this gym and it happened! So cool to watch this after all these years

The Tokyo video was where I first found your channel, so it's very cool to see ya back at the same place again! 😆

The original Japan video was the second video I’ve ever watched on this channel. It’s crazy I’ve been now watching you for 5 years almost. Thanks for all the continuous content and keeping us entertained. You’re one of the best online personalities we have today!

Great video coming back here. Love the quality of the climbing content. Keep crushing it.

the gym associate guy is the perfect thesis to show that magnus' disguises where he just changes hair color actually work

It's amazing to see how much impact you have on the climbing community! It is amazing to see you return here. Have a great day!

great to see this, I was one of the people who rated 5 stars in google reviews, and since then I've been to Tokyo in 2022!

So glad you went back there, loved that video! This one is great too Well done Magnus

Absolutely loved this video, your old style just climb videos are always a favorite of mine. The new ones are also amazing

I don't know how long i'm subscribed to your channel, but its at least 5 years and i feel like this is the best video ever on your channel. Thank you, for taking us back in time, that was magical!

This video was so wholesome !!! What a sweet guy, and they even had the photo from last time! Amazing video!

Breaking records from younger self like a pro haha. Nice to see the same guy working there. Still happy to help pointing out the hardest boulders 😂❤

Attempting to beat your younger self at something will surely be the best, most effective type motivation! It was great that the both of you and the others that were in the picture from years ago, in the end were all able to acknowledge each other - that looked like it must have been a nice, feel good moment for all of you!

Amazing vid! Can't believe it's already 5 years Magnus! I am so excited for your Tokyo trip, hope there's more ❤️‍🔥!

I was so happy watching this video, watched the original video for the first time a few months ago. Loved this

The revisit to the gym. Gold. Absolute gold.💪

Great video! Miss you filming with Marthe. Nice to see what you where learning her🙌🏼👏🏼

lots of love to this gym and these people

One of your best videos yet. Don't ever stop Magnus!

Magnus should get "makeover" tips from the sweet staff guy. I didn't realize it was him either.

one of the most feel good channels on the platform, thanks for existing

This video is the definition of wholesome. The guys there are just very chill with everything around them.

I dont know why i teared up watching this. just perfectly and wholesomely captures the passage of time, change, but also constants and things that form the bedrock of the global climbing community.

Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness

Hi Magnus! The years fly by! I would love to ask for a video doing gym workouts + their climbing application. It’s one thing to look at it online, but between yourself and the guests on your channel, it feels like some of the ‘secrets’ are missed out on.

Really cool to see a video in somehow your "old style" with almost pure bouldering content, love it! And I think you are still strong as hell. I really like to watch you climbing and also teach you others how to climb. Watching your videos for around a year now I think as a climber myself learend some things from your videos over the time. Doing a multi pitch climbing course in Arco a few days before I heard your voice in my head while climbing saying "you want your hips as close to the wall as possible" or "trust our feet". Thank you so much for your great, entertaining but also really educational content!

Bro this was so precious. Bless the guy who works there and bless Magnus for spreading the love in the community.

Where is Marte?

Magnus released a video. Me : Happy as Fuck.

I'm not a climber but have been watching your channel a very long time. Almost since you started I feel. Seeing you attend this climbing gym with your mrs the first time I have probably watched that episode a few times over the years. As I have travelled throughout Asia more so for food and to go to places without the reputations that most people seek and have very rarely not had my mind blown with hospitality and the overall experience. Keep going legend. Love what you do and I hope your content inspires everyone as much as it does me.

Magnus you have been such a big inspiration for me, even when I was climbing v4 and now when I’ve just sent my first v8 today thank you so much for the big inspiration.

i love the idea that the gym guy got this different hairstyle in the hope that magnus shows up someday and does not recognize him! xD no, i think he would have welcomed him right away if magnus spoke japanese. he might be nervous speaking english.

NICE JOB ON THE HANG BOARD!! STRONG!!!!

Great video, and so cool to see some of the original folk still there! Thanks Magnus, helps a lot!

Thanks for these old school videos man! Love these

Climbing gym redemption arc! Love to see it.

that video was 5 years ago?! Hard to believe, i remember it very well.

this is small piece of the magic of making content and videos with that passion and so much heart

Love this video. Really enjoyed seeing you climbing again on the main channel too

Yay, a brief Marte appearance

Next time with Marte and it would be the perfect time travel

What a great time that must have been. It's always nice to bump into people after that many years and they still remember you. 👍👍👍

It feels so moving to see Magnus meeting back these nice guys in this same good old place, it's so heart warming to see that they retain their sympathy, their kindness and their joy to come together and helping people in this gym

The way u didnt notice the worker from 5 years ago 😭😭

2:00😂 Bruh

i've never tried climbing but your videos are so relaxed with a good vibe, i really enjoy them!

What’s up Magnus! Long time viewer, first time commenter. I remember watching the old video years ago. So nostalgic seeing you go back! I remember you saying in one of your old vids that you hope these videos help motivate others to train hard. Whenever I’m feeling lazy and I should be training I’ll throw on a Magnus vid and I’ll get the motivation to make it happen. Thanks for all the effort it takes to make these brother! 👊

7:55 Me walking into Japan for the first time

8:17 so we’ve come full circle

You're on a roll, man. The return to climbing content has been greatly appreciated.

The way you talked about this being a sort of 'Time Capsule' moment in your life, and it hit me in much the same way. I watched the original video here before i was married, before the world shut down, before my ACL Injury, and so on. Time just moves onwards relentlessly and i can relate to a lot of the fears you have of getting older and weaker, though i'm mostly weaker because my body keeps falling apart! Anyway, enough of that. Here's to another 5 and hopefully more successful years for us both. Hope life treats you well Magnus.
