This edited screenshot collage is dedicated to everybody who is a fan of Power Rangers and anime, especially when it comes to my Inurangers AU headcanon and “Forever Red” from Power Rangers Wild Force. Sit back, relax, and rejoice in the glory the Red Rangers have to offer. Since revising my Inurangers team-ups for the umpteenth time and formulating a version I am most satisfied with, I have never been more excited to release the Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” This also means that I have given Takeshi Sendo from Hajime no Ippo the role of Aurico the Red Alien Ranger, or in this AU headcanon the Red Ronin Inuranger, and I have never looked back. I have also kept the strict ten-Red Ranger lineup intact much like Wild Force’s real-life thirty-fourth-episode counterpart. This means that Kurz Weber from Full Metal Panic as the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger version of Alex Drake from Power Rangers Time Force will not be included here. Hence, I am ecstatic to have made this change for the better and for the more sensible. From left to right are the following Red Inurangers assuming their real-life Red Power Rangers counterparts as well as their suits: Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Tommy Oliver from Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers Takeshi Sendo the Red Ronin Ranger version of Aurico from Mighty Ronin Inurangers Toran the Red Zeo Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott from Inurangers Zeo Alexander Volg Zangief the Red Turbo Ranger version of TJ Johnson from Inurangers Turbo Mika Seido the Red Space Ranger version of Andros from Inurangers in Space Ryoma Sakamoto the Red Galaxy Ranger version of Leo Corbett from Inurangers Lost Galaxy Ichiro Miyata the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger version of Carter Grayson from Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue  Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa the Red Time Force Ranger version of Wesley “Wes” Collins from Inurangers Time Force Baki Hanma the Quantum Time Force Ranger version of Eric Myers from Inurangers Time Force Ippo Makunouchi the Red Wild Force Ranger version of Cole Evans from Inurangers Wild Force Once again, I took creative liberties in making this lineup of Toonami-era Red Inurangers come to fruition. Yes, most of the Red Inurangers are men. However, you will notice a difference here. Unlike the real-life Saban-era Red Rangers who are all men, my Inurangers AU headcanon has two female Red Rangers in the forms of Toran and Mika. They are the only two female Red Inurangers in my Toonami-era Inurangers AU headcanon. They will not be the only female Red Inurangers in the eventual Adult Swim era, mind you. Inuyasha emulates Tommy in fortitude, resilience, and acclaim, despite being the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason. This is thanks to Inuyasha embodying Tommy’s long-lasting legacy as the greatest Power Ranger ever and the longest-serving one. Tommy is in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, one season of Zeo, the first half of Turbo, and becomes the leader of the Saban-era Red Rangers against the Machine Empire. Inuyasha is the longest-serving Red Ranger for all three seasons of Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers and is involved in other team-ups such as with the Ronin Inurangers, the Zeo Inurangers, the big final battle in Inurangers in Space, and leads the Toonami-era Red Inurangers in “Forever Red” against the Demon Beast Empire. Therefore, both Inuyasha and Tommy are the legendary faces of their respective universes, thanks to their boundless courage, strength, invincible combat prowess, overall formidability, and fierce leadership. Takeshi Sendo would easily have a lot more to contribute as the Red Ronin Inuranger than Aurico as the Red Alien Ranger because he is the Ronin Inurangers’ hot-blooded, determined leader. Unlike Aurico who is more reserved and lets Delphine have the final say, Takeshi is a warrior whose large-and-in-charge leading style compliments Tessa Testarossa’s levelheaded leading style. Both of them are intrepidly valiant. However, Takeshi’s bravado is more upfront than the more cautious Aurico. Toran demonstrates that she is leagues ahead of Jason’s conventionally upstanding courage and strength as a leader, despite being the Red Zeo Ranger version of Tommy. She can be as commanding and upstanding as he is when leading her team. She is also just as willing to dive headfirst into battle to defeat her enemies and protect her comrades. Where Jason has virile strength and rugged authority, Toran combines regal elegance with determined formidability to shine like the most precious antique chandelier in the world. With formidability and valiance by their side, Toran and Jason prove to be unstoppable forces who will never falter from every challenge handed to them. Alexander has an impeccable balance of icy focus and fiery determination as the Red Turbo Inuranger, with TJ’s athleticism and strength serving as his primary bedrock. He also couples his focused and determined fortitude with a benevolent soul who cares deeply for his family, friends, and everybody he considers important in his life. Alexander is more covert in expressing himself while letting his actions speak louder than words. TJ masters the art of extroversion and constantly stays true to his principles and the people he deeply cares for. Bringing them both together is the ability to always think quickly on their feet and make effective decisions. Mika knows how to take charge and seize every opportunity all guns blazing as the Red Space Inuranger, which Andros would salute and respect her for. There is not a day when Mika wants to surrender and back herself up into a little corner. Thus, she proves herself to be a proactive and resilient heroine with the world at her feet. Mika and Andros are also well-acquainted with space technology, with the former being inclined to the hard mechanics and the latter leaning toward the analytical. They also exercise valor and stamina even when the odds are stacked against them. Ryoma combines virility, valor, and formidability to make him outstandingly contend with Leo as the Red Galaxy Inuranger. He confidently carries himself like a noble warrior king willing to protect…
