Inuyasha’s and Tommy’s Legendary Formidability

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Inuyasha and Tommy being the best of friends, the closest of brothers from other mothers, and possessing a bond that rivals the father figure-surrogate son relationship between Uncle Phil and Will, especially with Tommy taking on Uncle Phil’s mantle and Inuyasha taking on Will’s role. Sit back, relax, and revel in Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s unparalleled genuineness as brothers until the end.

I know I already talked about why I believe Inuyasha is a more credible fit for Tommy’s leadership role and long-lasting legacy as the greatest Power Ranger of all time from all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Wild Force’s “Forever Red”, despite being the leader of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers like Jason Lee Scott is to his real-life Mighty Morphin Power Rangers counterparts. However, it is worth reiterating that Inuyasha is just as much of the face of the Inurangers franchise as Tommy is to the Power Rangers franchise. Where Tommy appeared in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, the first half of Power Rangers Turbo, and led his fellow Red Rangers in “Forever Red”, Inuyasha appeared in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers always as the Red Ranger leader, one team-up episode in Inurangers Zeo, one team-up episode in Inurangers in Space, and led his fellow Red Rangers in the Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” Therefore, Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s shared legacies as the greatest Rangers and heroes ever are thoroughly earned.

Their earned reputations of being the greatest Rangers ever from their respective universes are coupled with their outstanding physical endurance. Tommy is unbeatable combat prowess incarnate, and Inuyasha is all magnificently muscular super strength, especially when they spar with each other in Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, and Combat Sambo. Inuyasha would not even hesitate to put Tommy in a physical ordeal by locking him in camel clutches, torture racks, power slams, and Full Nelsons. In retaliation, Tommy would deliver Inuyasha a grand barrage of hammer fists, double axe handles, shin kicks, and roundhouse kicks. Even with all the attacks they inflict on each other, they would never flinch. Should any felon attempt to do physical harm against Tommy and Inuyasha, they would shower loads of pain on them. When it comes to Inuyasha’s tenure as a pro-wrestler with a background in Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, Combat Sambo, and Ssireum, Tommy would always cheer for him to triumph in any arena or ring he finds himself in against more physically formidable opponents. Tommy and Inuyasha are truly unstoppable.

Both Tommy and Inuyasha also have older brothers, David in Tommy’s case and Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha’s case. While David’s and Tommy’s brotherly bond is harmonious, Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s brotherly bond is fraught with challenges and tension. Nevertheless, David and Sesshoumaru would see just how rich and profound Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s friendship, let alone brotherhood, truly is. Tommy is even brave enough to stand up to Sesshoumaru and speak his mind without flinching in terms of how he will always be there to protect Inuyasha, be the best brother of another mother he can be, and forbid Sesshoumaru from harming Inuyasha. David can only agree with Tommy, as he appeals to Sesshoumaru to think long and hard about his treatment of Inuyasha. Tommy’s unquestionable staunchness to Inuyasha and David’s support for Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s brotherhood earn Sesshoumaru’s respect and encouragement. Therefore, David expresses how proud Tommy is for standing up for Inuyasha, while Sesshoumaru encourages Tommy to stick by Inuyasha’s side as his closest friend.

I mentioned earlier that Tommy would be the Uncle Phil to Inuyasha’s Will Smith, and their bond approaches Uncle Phil’s and Will’s father-son relationship. This makes Tommy the unconditionally loving and fiercely protective older brother figure to Inuyasha’s impulsively rowdy and fiercely charged-up younger brother. They would always be there to protect each other from harm and strife and remain unquestionably loyal to each other. Inuyasha would look up to Tommy because of his heroism, courage, strong leadership, and unparalleled combat prowess. Tommy would encourage Inuyasha as a fighter and as a person because of his super strength, heroic leadership, Olympic-level fortitude, and muscular virility. There is no doubt that Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s brotherly bond would see them grow from strength to strength. Tommy would do his best to put Inuyasha in the straight and narrow even when they clash heads. Inuyasha would also learn a lot from Tommy while also doing his part to encourage him as a fellow warrior. Together, Tommy and Inuyasha are always going to remain by each other’s side.

I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.
