Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specializing in the martial arts they do. I will say this once, and I will say this again. Practicing martial arts works better when two or more people are involved. Furthermore, overcoming opponents is more effective and enjoyable when accomplished in groups of two or three, thus uniting their collective efforts to give any and every opponent a well-deserved beating as well as a more beautiful triumph.   If you know my Splendid Seven AU headcanon, you would recognize that I have three platonic pairings of two, two platonic pairings of three, one romantic pairing of two, and one romantic pairing of three that I love and cherish all the same. From each pairing in martial arts form, I will expound on their strengths together, as I have made their individual strengths clear in previous submissions ad nauseam, and the combined attacks opponents need to look out for unless they want to suffer the physical ramifications of each pairing’s attacks. With that said, let us get ready to rumble and open up cans of whoop-ass together.   Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (BroTP): Mixed Martial Arts and Pankration As the two powerful sons of Toga and InuKimi, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are muscular power and strong virility personified. These two Alpha Male dog Yokai brothers stand above any competition as a formidable duo of mighty warriors. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would start off by giving their opponents an overhand punch and liver punch combo, with Inuyasha landing a double axe handle on their heads. Inuyasha would then capture their opponents with a body slam, an ankle lock, and a rear-naked chokehold, and Sesshoumaru would land ground-and-pounds and sprawls-and-brawls, thus reducing them to a bloodied mess.   Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): Professional Wrestling, Muay Boran, and Lethwei Izayoi’s three sons are the definition of being strong together, considering how Shuran’s massive strength complements Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s quick reflexes. This hulking panther Yokai and his two younger wolf Yokai brothers define power in teamwork. Shuran would begin by picking up opponents and bending their bodies in a torture rack. While he does that, Hakkaku and Ginta would deliver headbutts, knee strikes, and elbow strikes galore. Once done, Shuran savagely drops their opponents to the ground, Hakkaku finishes them off with an elbow strike to the face, and Ginta an earthquake headbutt to bloodily silence them.   Ayame and Shunran (BroTP): Kyuk Too Ki and Shaolin Kung Fu The Wolf Elder is surely fortunate to have two fierce and beautiful granddaughters in Ayame and Shunran. This formidable wolf Yokai warrior queen and her younger panther Yokai warrior mage sister demonstrate the importance of never judging a book by its cover. Ayame and Shunran would commence by delivering their opponents an uppercut, spinning backfist, spinning back kick, and double flying kick combo to disorient them. After that, Ayame would deliver a swift jab to the face and axe kick to head followed by Shunran delivering finger strikes and palm strikes to the heart, thus paralyzing their opponents in cold blood.   Sesshoumaru and Shuran (BroTP): Mixed Martial Arts and Professional Wrestling Chilling beastliness and crushing barbarism are the hallmarks that solidify Sesshoumaru and Shuran once they step into the caged ring. No executioner in the world could ever compare to the relentlessly cold-blooded brutality that Sesshoumaru and Shuran have to offer. First, Shuran lifts their opponents and squeezes them in a bearhug, thus making Sesshoumaru pummel them with overhand punches and hammer fists. Then, Shuran drops them to the ground to let Sesshoumaru unleash excruciating armbars and triangle chokes before Shuran launches them with a skull-smashing, bone-crushing piledriver for total body annihilation.   Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta (BroT3): Pankration, Muay Boran, and Lethwei Muscular strength, metallic sturdiness, and malleable stamina unite Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta on and off the arena. There is no other trio who can ensure total destruction of their opponents than Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta unleashing an erupting volcano on them. Inuyasha first showers their opponents with hammer fists, jabs, and uppercuts then locks them in a rear-naked chokehold before Hakkaku and Ginta give them a barrage of headbutts, flying knees, and elbow strikes. Once done, Inuyasha delivers a sleeper hold, thus making Hakkaku give an elbow strike and Ginta a headbutt, to crush their tattered bodies.   Inuyasha and Ayame (OTP): Pankration and Kyuk Too Ki Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles and Ayame’s ferocious fierceness amalgamate their super strength as an outstanding power couple. Once this couple sets foot into the arena, it is akin to watching a public execution unfolding before the spectator’s eyes. Inuyasha first delivers jabs, hooks, cross punches, uppercuts, liver punches, hammer fists, overhand punches, and a double axe handle to their opponents before locking them in a torture rack. While Inuyasha gives them a torture rack, Ayame leaps forth with jabs, hooks, uppercuts, Superman punches, knee strikes, soccer kicks, and an axe kick to damage their skulls and destroy their bones.   Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran (OT3): Muay Boran, Lethwei, and Shaolin Kung Fu Hakkaku’s titanium tenacity and Ginta’s steel stamina mesh beautifully with Shunran’s amazing agility to solidify them as a vivacious power throuple. While these two wolf Yokai gentlemen can exude decorum to their Panther yokai lady love, they become executioners when faced with strong opponents. Hakkaku and Ginta initiate their battle by giving their opponents a series of elbow strikes, headbutts, shin kicks, and knee strikes before wrapping them in a clinch. Shunran then proceeds with finger strikes and nerve strikes to paralyze them and finishes everything off with a vicious leopard blow to their head to silence them.   The Splendid Seven’s main relationships in martial arts form solidify the importance that creating healthy communities can do while providing powerful opponents with great challenges as well as brutal beatdowns. Therefore, martial arts beatdowns work best when combatants join…

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specializing in the martial arts they do. My favorite septet of Yokai martial artists has struck again with the martial arts I have provided for them. Moreover, this shall be the legitimately final time in which I designate their respective martial arts according to their personalities and specialties. This time, not only am I going to focus on the main martial arts they do as well as define them, with some slight retouches, but also their signature moves that can guarantee a great deal of damage to their opponents. Think of this as a mega-edited version of the one I did two months ago. Let us not waste any more time and get ready to rumble.   Sesshoumaru: Mixed Martial Arts With a background in Karate, Kenpo, Judo, and Jujitsu since childhood, Sesshoumaru has grown into a formidable Mixed Martial Arts practitioner fighting in prominent venues such as UFC, thus triumphing over his opponents. His focused discipline, unparalleled physical strength, and iron-clad code of honor signify how much he retains respect as a martial artist even when he is giving his opponents bloody beatings galore. Sesshoumaru’s double-leg takedowns, ground-and-pounds, sprawl-and-brawls, armbars, Kimuras, triangle chokes, and overhand punches can make his opponents’ organs bleed and skeletons break in cruel pain. Shuran: Professional Wrestling Whether American, British, Japanese, Indian, Turkish, Mexican, or Mongolian, Shuran is a Pro Wrestler who goes global and meshes the styles found in the likes of Sumo, Lucha Libre, Catch Wrestling, and Malla-yuddha to create his own brand of incomparable wrestling prowess. Grand showmanship and legitimate combat prowess are the attributes that define him superbly when entering the ring in glory and conquest. Shuran’s bearhugs, piledrivers, sharpshooters, torture racks, full Nelsons, suplex power slams, and German suplexes can leave his opponents’ ligaments, bones, tissues, and muscles tattered to tiny smithereens. Inuyasha: Pankration Combat Sambo, Boxing, Wrestling, and Judo form the basis of Inuyasha’s fighting repertoire to blossom into his main specialty of Pankration from Greece. Arena spectators believe that Inuyasha’s mighty muscles and stupendous strength are derived from Zeus, Ares, Heracles, and Theseus. Inuyasha’s rear naked chokeholds, tracheal grip chokes, camel clutches, ankle locks, hammer fists, liver punches, and body slams can do visceral damage to his opponents’ bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tissues, and nerves, thus making them beg the Greek gods for mercy in vain due to the viciously powerful attacks he dishes out on them in cold blood. Hakkaku: Muay Boran Reaping the fruits of Thailand’s viscerally lethal predecessor of Muay Thai is Hakkaku who is always ready to wrap his hands and arms in hemp rope to do some serious damage to his opponents. Aside from ensuring nearly irreparable damage to his opponents, he does his best to bring honor to Thailand’s royalty, Muay Boran masters, and the audience who want to see a great fight. Hakkaku’s flying knee strikes, elbow slashes, elbow strikes, upward headbutts, reverse elbows, spinning heel kicks, and double uppercuts can easily destroy and distort his opponents’ skeletal structure, thus making their chances of recovery extremely slight. Ginta: Lethwei Harvesting the brutality of Ancient Burmese armies to be brought to the sandpits is Ginta a Lethwei practitioner constantly prepared to wrap his hands in gauze to knock his opponents out cold. It would be false to assume that Ginta has to be stone-cold to execute his opponents because Myanmar’s spectators revel in his charmingly lovable charisma when giving his opponents a hard beatdown. Ginta’s thrusting headbutts, side headbutts, upward elbows, downward headbutts, downward elbows, jumping knee strikes, and spinning elbows can damage his opponents’ organs, skulls, and limbs, thus rendering them pale and lifeless. Ayame: Kyuk Too Ki Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai are united by Ayame to establish her formidability in Korean Kickboxing also known as Kyuk Too Ki. It is through Ayame’s rapid speed, relentless power, thorough balance, and accurate timing that she can inflict boundless amounts of pain on those who attempt to challenge her. Ayame’s uppercuts, jabs, Superman punches, jabs, spinning back kicks, axe kicks, and roundhouse kicks can incapacitate her opponents while leaving their organs, faces, skeletal structures, and limbs thoroughly shattered, thus paralyzing them from top to bottom to everywhere in their bodies. Shunran: Shaolin Kung Fu Combining spirituality, harmony, brute force, and lethal accuracy is Shunran who capitalizes on Shaolin Kung Fu’s animal styles be they monkey, dragon, leopard, tiger, snake, praying mantis, and/or crane. Chinese royalty and Shaolin monks alike are both fascinated and terrified by her mastery of pressure points, varying ranges of attacks, and combining grace with power exceedingly well. Shunran’s leopard blows, spinning back fists, finger strikes, palm strikes, nerve strikes, push kicks, and double flying kicks can paralyze her opponents inside and out, for targeting pressure points is her main specialty of annihilation and execution. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the über final revamp of the martial arts I have in store for The Splendid Seven. Anything they can dish out in their respective martial arts, they can do so with aplomb and power, especially when they combine their skills to do a number on their opponents. Speaking of which, do tune in later for the beloved main pairings I have in store for The Splendid Seven in martial arts forms. Until then, have a good time and train well, everybody.
