The Toonami-Era Inurangers Teams: The Ultra Update

Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. With the Halloween season fast approaching and with some updates to my anime martial arts teams AU headcanon being the ones I am most satisfied with, I turn my attention to another anime multiverse AU headcanon that has been close to my heart, mind, and soul: the Inurangers AU headcanon universe. This is the case of the fictional counterpart to the real-life original Saban era of the Power Rangers franchise, which is the Inurangers’ Toonami era. Since I love Power Rangers unconditionally, it is time to give the original Toonami teams a good makeover. Granted, the original Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers will still be the same as they have always been. However, there will be slighter changes for the other teams, as I was not satisfied with the updated version I did over seven months ago.

The same protocol applies to how the teams are arranged. There shall be seven members per Inuranger team and will be strictly arranged according to the following schemes: the five-male-member/two-female-member scheme and the three-male-member/four-female-member scheme. As always, each team lineup shall have seven main members: the Red Ranger, the Sixth Ranger, the Seventh Ranger, the Black/Blue Ranger, the Blue/Green Ranger, the Yellow Ranger, and the Pink Ranger. All three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers, Inurangers Turbo, and Inurangers Time Force shall have five male members and two female members. Meanwhile, Mighty Ronin Inurangers, Inurangers Zeo, Inurangers in Space, Inurangers Lost Galaxy, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Wild Force shall have three male members and four female members. All three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers will have the same cast members all the way through, as there are also composite characters, while the subsequent Inurangers seasons will have different characters just like the real-life Super Sentai counterparts. With that said, let us get acquainted with the new, improved, and way clearer version of the Toonami-Era Inuranger teams’ lineups. It’s Morphin’ Time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s rocket! Go galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Quantum Power! Wild Access!

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. After much reflection and re-evaluation, these are the Toonami-era Inurangers teams I am most satisfied with. I am so much more motivated to give my revamped Toonami-era Inuranger team-ups, my Toonami-era version of “Forever Red”, and the Adult Swim-Era of Inurangers as a fictional counterpart to the real-life Disney Era of the Power Rangers franchise, specifically Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, S.P.D., Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, and RPM a go. So, first things first. I shall deal with the Zordon-era and post-Zordon-era Inuranger team-ups, which I am excited to do. Until then, take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.
