Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. Be prepared to don those nostalgia goggles once again, everybody, because I am going to take you back to the years where my fictionalised version of Saban’s Power Rangers franchise from August 28, 1993 to August 10, 2002, with the final Saban-Era Power Ranger incarnation Wild Force airing its twenty-sixth episode before moving to Disney, would have aired on Toonami from August 28, 2000 to September 20, 2008. As to be expected, these also include the Inuranger movie tie-ins much like their real-life counterparts in the forms of 1995’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie and 1997’s Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Strap in for a morphenomenal ride back to your childhoods, fellow 90s to early 2000s friends, and stay glued to your television screens with some popcorn . This will mark the last time I am ever going to redo this list of what I would call the Toonami Era of the Inurangers franchise, which is the Saban Era of Power Rangers franchises’s fictionalised counterpart. It is not because I do not want to do it anymore, but because I love the Saban Era of the Power Rangers even with some of its gaping flaws and moments of campiness, and, of course, I also love anime with a passion. Even looking back at the previous attempts of making the Toonami-Era Inurangers teams list, I did not know what I was thinking when assigning certain characters these particular rangers. For instance, the fact that I made Kyuzo from Samurai 7 the Inuranger version of Cole Evans of Wild Force was a decision I regretted, but I have learned from this experience, and I would gladly recast Kyuzo as a seventh ranger in Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue and reassign the Cole Evans role to none other than Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo. Speaking of Hajime no Ippo and recasting, there will also be some recasts done, including having Ichiro Miyata be the Inurangers Turbo version of TJ Johnson among other decisions that shall gladly be rectified. Nevertheless, this is still going to be a whole lot of fun because at least they are in their right roles, with select entries still maintaining their right casting. Ever since re-evaluating and re-organising the Toonami-era Inurangers teams, I have also become a lot stricter in terms of one cast of seven members per incarnation. As I stated before, I am not going by the real-life Super Sentai/Power Rangers franchise of having mostly five to eventually six members per incarnation but a total of seven members, for the colours of red, green, white, black, blue, yellow, and pink shall remain intact as the primary Inuranger colours, although incarnations such as In Space, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force would mix up the colour scheme. For instance, Mighty Morphin Inurangers Seasons 1 until 3 will still have the same cast of seven rangers, while Zeo and subsequent seasons would have entirely new casts of seven rangers, although there will be some members of Inurangers Turbo who are going to end up in the In Space incarnation. Therefore, the strict rule of seven members per Inurangers incarnation prevails. I would also like to have a word about composite and decomposite characters because this is something I could have addressed a little bit more verbosely when I was doing these Inurangers lists. Because there are seven members per Inurangers incarnation in total, there will be occasions where the traits of certain characters would also be inhabited by the characters I have chosen to be the specific colour of Inuranger. This especially holds the most weight in Mighty Morphin Inurangers, but is also true for Inurangers In Space, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Time Force to a certain extent. For instance, Sesshoumaru the White Mighty Morphin Inuranger and Shuran the Green Mighty Morphin Inuranger are decomposite characters of Tommy Oliver’s tenure as the Green Ranger from MMPR Seasons 1 to 2 and the White Ranger from MMPR Seasons 2 to 3, with the former leaning towards more on Tommy Oliver’s entire persona and the latter bearing most traits from Tommy’s clone/”twin” Tom from “Return of the Green Ranger”. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are going to receive the composite character treatment, and you will find out which composite character combinations suit them the most. So, do not expect any Peace Conferences or International Gymnastics deals or what have you to occur in any of these instances, especially with what specifically happened to Walter Emanuel Jones, Thuy Trang, and Austin St. John during their tenure on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Besides, the less said about what happened during their time with payment and their demand for unionisation the better because that is quite the can of worms several Power Rangers fans could never shake off. There will also be instances where certain allies to the Power Rangers in canon would find themselves being rangers themselves as embodied by the chosen characters, such as the likes of Billy the former Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger from Zeo as the White Gold Ranger, Alex Drake the first Red Time Force Ranger joining in the team as the Crimson Time Ranger, Ms. Angela Fairweather from Lightspeed Rescue participating as the Chromium Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, and Princess Shayla from Wild Force becoming more active as the Emerald Deer Ranger all embodied by the characters I have chosen for them. They will essentially contribute far more than any viewer or hardcore Power Rangers let alone Super Sentai fan can ever bargain for. Additionally, there are also some mixes as to which character I would assign for which specific ranger, especially since I would assign Toran from Inuyasha as the first female Red Inuranger in Inurangers Zeo with Mika Seido from Geneshaft as the second female Red Inuranger for In Space following suit, Botan from YuYu Hakusho as the first…
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be focusing on my top five most favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in martial arts sparring forms. There will be three pairings I consider my most beloved OTPs of all time, two pairings I consider to be my most loved pairings, and all of them are heterosexual pairings. It is said that romantic love means two people must delegate the work in a fair manner in order to overcome any and every obstacle that comes along their way. Therefore, it not only takes two to do the tango of destruction but also working together in order to ensure each others’ safety and well-being. Since this is The Splendid Seven we are talking about, I am certain that my five most favourite pairings would never hesitate to let off some steam and let their opponents bleed profusely. With that said, osu! Hajime! Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): Sinuously Sensual; Ferociously Formidable As a beautifully intimate couple, there is nothing that Inuyasha and Ayame could ever hide from each other whether in the bedroom or in the battlefield. They have cultivated a harmonious relationship based on trust, synergy, unconditional love, and compassion, thus making them build a truly united family based on those aforementioned principles. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s abundantly unconditional love is also well-transferred to how they have perfected every punch, kick, strike, takedown, and submission hold to do as much damage to all of their foes as possible. Nobody can ever beat them down even if they tried. Kapu Kuialua vs Hapkido Pankration vs Koppojutsu Bokator vs Boxing American Kenpo Karate vs Taido Zendokai Karate vs Kickboxing Shidokan Karate vs Nippon Kenpo Seidokaikan Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): Gorgeously Good-Humoured; Ruthlessly Rapid The sky is the limit whenever Hakkaku and Shunran enter the scene with their positive outlook on love, life, and their overall livelihood as martial artists and as individuals. They truly trust each other with their lives, their souls, their hearts, and their overall beings and will never leave each other in the dust, thus creating an unconditionally loving bond based on good vibes, love, and allegiance. Every positive trait Hakkaku and Shunran have together is also used whenever they go into battle against various opponents, especially attributed to Hakkaku’s crushing clinches and Shunran’s stirring strikes coming into full, lively motion. Muay Boran vs Shaolin Kung Fu Pradal Serey vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Kajukenbo vs Savate Panantukan vs Capoeira Dambe vs Wing Chun Moraingy vs Aikido Taekkyeon vs Ninjutsu Ginta x Shunran (OTP): Elegantly Ebullient; Vociferously Vivacious Harmony, beauty, love, joy, prosperity, abundance, and kindness are the hallmarks of what make Ginta and Shunran thrive sweetly and lovingly together. They do their very best to better each other through patience and endurance and would never think about betraying each other let alone manipulate each other for selfish means. While Ginta and Shunran are sweetly cuddly towards each other, they would never wish to hold back on their attacks against every foe they come across. Should their foe tamper with their harmony, they would be at the mercy of Ginta’s and Shunran’s rich repertoire of deadly punches, kicks, and strikes. Lethwei vs Shaolin Kung Fu Sanda vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Pencak Silat vs Savate Jeet Kune Do vs Capoeira Eagle Claw Kung Fu vs Wing Chun Hwa Rang Do vs Aikido Tang Soo Do vs Ninjutsu Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): Beautifully Bodacious; Dedicatedly Determined When Sesshoumaru and Ayame band together, their enemies better be prepared to recite a series of prayers before being at the receiving end of their various attacks. This is because both Sesshoumaru and Ayame live their lives with discipline, allegiance, respect, cooperation, confidence, relentlessness, and ambition. They truly care about ensuring that they do not sell themselves short on what they could truly accomplish both individually and together as well as genuinely appreciating each other for their valour and their courage. Furthermore, Sesshoumaru and Ayame make a powerful fighting duo full of lethal strikes and takedowns. Brazilian Jujitsu vs Hapkido Judo vs Koppojutsu Mixed Martial Arts vs Boxing Taekwondo vs Taido Kudo Karate vs Kickboxing Enshin Karate vs Nippon Kenpo Ashihara Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo Shuran x Shunran (Loved Pairing): Joyously Jovial; Lovably Luscious The combination of a hulking giant such as Shuran and a lithe mage such as Shunran is nothing completely novel, but how they manage to effectively collaborate with each other to defeat various opponents is nothing short of phenomenal. Shuran’s fierce protectiveness and Shunran’s ebullient jolliness is only second to their wonderful range of combo attacks. Should Shuran throw a piledriver on their foes, Shunran would gladly add salt to their injury by utilising her elbow strikes, punches, knee strikes, and, most of all, kicks. Aside from their fierce moves, Shuran and Shunran care for each other with allegiance, loyalty, and respect. Vale Tudo vs Shaolin Kung Fu Combat Sambo vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Professional Wrestling vs Savate Ssireum vs Capoeira Mongolian Wrestling vs Wing Chun Sumo Wrestling vs Aikido Pehlwani vs Ninjutsu I hope you all enjoyed this, and I would love to know which of these Splendid Seven romantic pairings in sparring form is your favourite. Until then, see you in the next submission, everybody.
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into my seven favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in the form of the main martial arts sparring matches they focus on. They will be categorised as OTP, Loved Pairing, and Liked Pairing, and they will be strictly heterosexual. It is often said that there is power in unconditional love, especially if there is varying degrees of intimacy. Whether romantic love is thoroughly intimate, based on mutual closeness or based on respect and allegiance, there is no doubt that the loving ties that bind can draw on fortitude, dedication, determination, drive, perseverance, wilfulness, and cooperation. Therefore, true love is unbreakable in contentious doubt and in triumphant joy. Here are the rules for this entry. There will be only one martial arts sparring match per romantic pairing, and they will receive different ones for each pairing. I will judge each martial art based on lethalness, effectiveness, and overall impact. Knowing the likes of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran, they would be the most lethal martial artists Japan and the world have ever encountered. Furthermore, each martial art would not be solely pigeonholed as a striking one, a grappling one or a clinching one, for the different elements of striking, clinching, and grappling are going to be combined. With that said, let us get ready to rumble in the most romantic and intimate way possible. Osu! Hajime! Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): Kapu Kuialua vs Hapkido Inuyasha and Ayame bear the complete package when it comes to defeating their opponents with their formidably versatile repertoire of punches, kicks, grapples, takedowns, clinches, strikes, and submission holds. Anybody with common sense should be aware of the damage this mighty couple can deliver because Inuyasha and Ayame hold nothing back and can make them bleed profusely. This is evidenced in how Inuyasha uses his background in Full-Contact Karate and Pankration to increase his capacity in Kapu Kuialua and how Ayame uses her experience in Kickboxing and Koppojutsu to make her skills in Hapkido even more lethal. Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): Muay Thai vs Ninjutsu Hakkaku and Shunran are exuberance, glee, and enthusiasm personified thanks to how they consistently propel their punches, strikes, clinches, and takedowns with panache and passion. The imperative hallmarks of their effective attacks boil down to quicksilver speed, abundant power, thorough balance, and accurate timing which places them at an advantage over their opponents. A barrage of clinches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and shin kicks from Hakkaku combined with a flurry of joint locks, kicks, punches, and strikes from Shunran can signify indubitable sudden death to those brazen enough to oppose this lovingly optimistic couple. Ginta x Shunran (OTP): Lethwei vs Shaolin Kung Fu Ginta and Shunran may appear lovable, sweet, and cuddly towards each other on the outside, but test their patience and leniency and they will rain a grand series of blows, strikes, and takedowns rich in quick speed, formidable strength, relentless stamina, and explosive reaction time. They have never met an opponent they did not like and would prove themselves to be consistently willing to deliver strikes, clinches, and takedowns galore. Whether those attacks are found in Ginta’s brutal headbutts and knee strikes or in Shunran’s rapid punches and flying kicks, victory is definitely in this adorably lovable couple’s favour. Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): Mixed Martial Arts vs Koppojutsu Sesshoumaru and Ayame have an indubitably profound bond based on allegiance, respect, encouragement, and perseverance. Should opponents be imprudent to step beyond their boundaries and cross swords with Sesshoumaru and Ayame, they would end up being at the receiving end of Sesshoumaru’s paralysing joint locks, throws, and strikes as well as Ayame’s strikes, punches, and kicks. With Sesshoumaru’s expertise in Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jujutsu, and Taekwondo being used in Mixed Martial Arts plus Ayame’s power in Boxing and Kickboxing amplifying her skills in Koppojutsu, they are unstoppable in and out of battle. Shuran x Shunran (Loved Pairing): Sambo vs Savate Shuran and Shunran can prove themselves to be an extremely dynamic pair of combatants by virtue of combining his submission holds, piledrivers, chokeholds, and throws and her kicks, tricking moves, strikes, and punches. Therefore, this combination brute force and fancy yet lethal hand- and footwork makes for an awe-inspiring and formidable weapon that could make their foes surrender almost without any effort, especially since Shuran also uses Pro Wrestling and Shunran also uses Capoeira to boost up their respective skills in Sambo and Savate. Furthermore, their loving bond contains high amounts of synergy and appreciation. Shuran x Ayame (Liked Pairing): Vale Tudo vs Nippon Kenpo Shuran and Ayame make a ripe pair of physical powerhouses, thus combining raw power with undeterred relentlessness. Shuran’s attacks ranging from ground and pound to body locks to submission holds as well as Ayame’s willingness to launch her punches, kicks, strikes, and takedowns make their enemies weak in the knees every time this duo appears and delivers on their sheer power. Aside from ensuring well-launched, quick, and lethal attacks planted in the most uncompromising way possible, Shuran and Ayame possess a bond that is rich in encouragement, understanding, and consistently building each other up in a healthy way. Hakkaku x Ayame (Liked Pairing): Kajukenbo vs Kickboxing Hakkaku and Ayame constantly prepare their fists, elbows, knees, the balls of their feet, their heels, their insteps, and the bottom of their feet for some epic punching, kicking, striking, and takedowns. With every striking flurry Hakkaku and Ayame emit against all of their foes, they demonstrate that there is not one moment that they will be knocked down and can easily demolish their foes with everything they have. If their foes were foolish enough to find themselves blasted by Hakkaku’s and Ayame’s punches, kicks, and clinches,…
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will delve into my five most favourite main Splendid Seven platonic pairings in the forms of main martial arts sparring matches. The rules for this entry are that I will choose one martial art sparring match for each platonic pairing. Furthermore, the catch is that the martial art style each character will be judged on lethalness, ferociousness, and the possibility of high impact when especially used in close-range attacks. Although I am far from being a martial arts expert, I did consult various sites as to which one could be deemed as the most lethally bloody and most effective that the likes of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would use. After all, these seven Yokai martial artists would be considered the deadliest combatants of their chosen martial arts should any super strong opponent dare challenge them. I also want to ensure that the martial arts sparring matches I have chosen for each of them do not just contain only striking or only grappling but a mixture of strikes, grapples, clinches, and holds, thus increasing the effectiveness of each martial arts sparring match. For instance, as much as I am tempted to have Sesshoumaru and Shuran spar in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu versus Sumo Wrestling, these two are basically grappling martial arts which would relatively trivialise the skills they have as combatants who are more than capable of just one attacking style. With that said, let’s get our punches, kicks, strikes, clinches, grapples, takedowns, and submission holds in gear, everybody. Osu! Hajime! Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Ashihara Karate vs Kudo Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Taekwondo, Pankration, Boxing, and Wrestling have formed the basis of Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s powerful brotherhood, thus establishing their ever-expanding martial arts repertoire plus being strong and versatile combatants. It has gotten to the point where they combined every punch, kick, grapple, takedown, strike, clinch, and submission hold they have learned and turned them into weapons of mass destruction. These two dog Yokai love a full-contact spar with each other and challenging themselves against mightier opponents because they grow in fortitude, fraternal love, and wisdom. Sesshoumaru and Shuran: Mixed Martial Arts vs Vale Tudo With Sesshoumaru’s background in Karate, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Judo, and Taekwondo and Shuran’s background in Pro Wrestling, Combat Sambo, Sumo Wrestling, and Ssireum combined, they have become a formidable force to be reckoned with. This is especially evidenced in Sesshoumaru’s penchant for brutal takedowns and ground and pound attacks combined with Shuran’s unparalleled skill in chokeholds, submission holds, and groundwork. Teamwork, allegiance, and respect are the hallmarks of what further strengthen them as a duo who thrive on takedowns, grapples, and making their enemies surrender with ease. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: Sambo vs Kajukenbo vs Pencak Silat Nobody could ask for a higher dose of versatility when Shuran’s wrestling skills, Hakkaku’s punches, kicks, and strikes, and Ginta’s offensive and defensive attacks come into play. All it takes is great teamwork and boundless cooperation to make every finishing blow they commit to all the more worthwhile against their foes. First, Ginta disarms the opponents by numbing them with quick strikes. Then, Shuran locks them with a bearhug and a Full Nelson for good measure. Finally, Hakkaku rains a series of paralysing blows on them. Their effective teamwork in defeating opponents is coupled with truth, synergy, and a positive attitude. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta: Kapu Kuialua vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei Words cannot begin to describe how bloody and vicious Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta are in close-range combat. These three mightily potent warriors have the punishing punches, terrifying takedowns, killer kicks, claustrophobic clinches, stunning strikes, lethal locks, and superb submission holds to defeat all of their opponents. To Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta, strength alone is never enough because endurance, dedication, and quick reflexes can propel every attack possible. Their sparring matches and battles against foes may result in painfully deadly bloodshed, but they always encourage each other to stay relentless and determined. Ayame and Shunran: Hapkido vs Shaolin Kung Fu When Ayame’s punches, throws, grapples, and kicks mesh with Shunran’s punches, strikes, kicks, and acrobatics, this would result in a grand combination of power, speed, balance, and timing so formidable and accurate that foes can never stand a chance against these two auburn-haired sisters. Ayame’s main strengths may be in her punches, grapples, strikes, and kicks thanks to her expertise in Kickboxing, Boxing, and Hapkido, while Shunran’s are in her punches, kicks, strikes, and tricking thanks to her experience in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Savate, but they prove themselves to be abundant dedication and cooperation incarnate. Whatever the main Splendid Seven platonic pairing in martial arts sparring form, each of them is filled to the brim with undeniable respect, tight allegiance, and synergetic flexibility that they would constantly better each other every single waking moment. No enemy is too powerful or too strong to ever knock them down, especially when these platonic pairing combos come play a major role. As always, please let me know in the description which of these five main platonic spars has caught your fancy the most. Until then, have a great time, everybody. Osu!
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will delve into my top five platonic pairings revolving around Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran in the form of martial arts sparring matches. I may have listed my top three favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings in the form of martial arts sparring matches, but this is a nice opportunity to increase it to five in order to include the other two that I love just as much as the three that I have mentioned. You can already guess what they are. With that said, let us get punching, kicking, clinching, and grappling. Osu! Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: The Mighty Karateka Brothers Fighters from all around the world would concur that Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha Japan’s and the world’s strongest Karateka as well as complete martial artists. These two dog Yokai warrior brothers not only live and breathe Karate, but they have made it their way of life from infancy all the way up to adulthood. Physically, they have the overpowering chokeholds, crushing takedowns, vice-like body locks, brutal punches, quick kicks, rapid reflexes, and super strength to do collateral damage towards all of their opponents. Characteristically, they have a brotherhood based on perseverance, courage, dedication, cooperation, and synergy. Shotokan Karate vs Kyokushin Karate Goju-Ryu Karate vs Seidokaikan Karate Motobu-Ryu Karate vs Ashihara Karate Chito-Ryu Karate vs Enshin Karate Yoshukai Karate vs Shidokan Karate Uechi-Ryu Karate vs Byakuren Karate Wado-Ryu Karate vs Budokan Karate Sesshoumaru and Shuran: The Lethal Grappler Brothers Joint locks, headlocks, arm bars, and chokeholds may be the physical heartbeats of Sesshoumaru and Shuran as mighty warriors who would crush their enemies into smithereens, but it is their sense of balance, respect, and teamwork that seal the deal with this duo. Alone, Sesshoumaru is a complete martial artist rife with precision, stamina, and formidability, while Shuran is a literal and figurative powerhouse ready to crush, smash, and annihilate thanks to his imposing size and brute strength. Together, they would use their strength and stamina to give their opponents a one-way ticket to a painfully quick defeat. Mixed Martial Arts vs Vale Tudo Shootfighting vs Combat Sambo Marine Corps Martial Arts vs Professional Wrestling Brazilian Jiu-jitsu vs Sumo Wrestling Jujutsu vs Mongolian Wrestling Judo vs Pehlwani Yongmudo vs Ssireum Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: The Dynamic Executor Brothers What happens when a wrestler known for his brute strength in his grappling teams up with two strikers known for their devastating clinches? A trio of dynamic and versatile fighters would form who would combine strength and quick reaction time in order to annihilate their foes who dare underestimate them. Any sane person would not want to incite violence against them, for they can deliver one powerful punishment by virtue of Shuran’s submission holds, Hakkaku’s knee and elbow strikes, and Ginta’s punches and kicks. This is also combined with the insurmountable support they have for each other as loving brothers. Vale Tudo vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei Combat Sambo vs Pradal Serey vs Sanda Professional Wrestling vs Kajukenbo vs Jeet Kune Do Sumo Wrestling vs Panantukan vs Pencak Silat Mongolian Wrestling vs Dambe vs Eagle Claw Kung Fu Pehlwani vs Moraingy vs Hwa Rang Do Ssireum vs Taekkyeon vs Tang Soo Do Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta: The Bloody Clincher Brothers Is there a moment where fighters do not feel terrified whenever Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta get uncomfortably close to them in order to rain a series of blows? No. This is because these three brothers can do seriously irreparable physical damage to their opponents thanks to their bone-shattering punches, devastating kicks, paralysing elbow strikes, pulsating knee strikes, hard-hitting headbutts, crushing clinches, and explosive close-range combat, thus leaving them drenched in their opponents’ blood. Overlooking their brutality, they have an inseparable fraternal bond that has seen them grow phenomenally in strength and wisdom. Pankration vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei Bokator vs Pradal Serey vs Sanda American Kenpo Karate vs Kajukenbo vs Jeet Kune Do Ancient Greek Boxing vs Panantukan vs Pencak Silat Kapu Kuialua vs Dambe vs Eagle Claw Kung Fu Kudo Karate vs Moraingy vs Hwa Rang Do Shaolin Kempo Karate vs Taekkyeon vs Tang Soo Do Ayame and Shunran: The Flexible Striker Sisters Punch, block, kick, and charge into action with Ayame and Shunran, for their strikes are renowned for their accuracy, lethalness, and indubitably high impact. Ayame’s iron fists and Shunran’s lightning kicks are a mighty combined force to be reckoned with, thus making their opponents bleeding, bruised, and broken in nearly every single body part. This is evidenced when Ayame uses her uppercuts, jabs, cross punches, reverse punches, and hooks and Shunran uses her roundhouse kicks, spinning kicks, flying double kicks, and flip kicks to do near permanent damage to their enemies in an effortless manner. Furthermore, Ayame’s and Shunran’s sisterly bond is abundant in encouragement, compassion, and unconditional love. Kickboxing vs Capoeira Hapkido vs Savate Boxing vs Wing Chun Nippon Kenpo vs Shaolin Kung Fu Shorinji Kenpo vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Koppojutsu vs Aikido Taido vs Ninjutsu There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, my five favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings in martial arts sparring forms. As always, please let me know which one is your most favourite platonic pairing. Until then, see you in the next submission.
Which hand-to-hand martial art do you think Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would spar in from boyhood to adulthood? A. Jujitsu B. Judo C. Karate D. Taekwondo
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into my seven favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in the form of martial arts sparring matches. They will be categorised as OTP, Loved Pairing, and Liked Pairing, and they will be strictly heterosexual. Love is certainly in the air when our seven favourite Yokai martial artists build each other up in great ways, especially when it comes to five gallant gentlemen treating their two elegant lady loves really well without any form of animosity. Regardless of the degree of intimate love displayed with each pairing, they can be guaranteed to give each other the strength, support, and solidarity needed to propel each other as fighters and as individuals. With that said, let us pair up and kick some butt together, everybody. Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): The Powerfully Intimate Couple Magnificent muscles of might and formidable fists of fury entwine to create an extremely powerful couple known to the world for their psychological perseverance, super strength, and endless endurance. Inuyasha and Ayame have never met an opponent they did not like and would use their signature Superman punches, uppercuts, jabs, hooks, and spinning axe kicks to destroy them in full contact. Inuyasha would even use his grappling skills to permit Ayame to cause collateral damage to their opponents through her striking. Outside the battlefield, they are sensually intimate with each other, complete with spicy lovemaking. Kyokushin Karate vs Kickboxing Seidokaikan Karate vs Nippon Kenpo Ashihara Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo American Kenpo Karate vs Hapkido Pankration vs Boxing Kapu Kuialua vs Koppojutsu Bokator vs Taido Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): The Sweetly Fun-Loving Couple Exciting energy of ebullience and fearless flexibility of fabulousness mesh into one when these two dynamic combatants unleash their bullet-like speed, beguiling enthusiasm, and engaging physical agility. Hakkaku and Shunran may seem like a joyously optimistic couple. However, once opponents try their patience, Hakkaku and Shunran would unleash a series of elbow strikes, shin kicks, knee strikes, and backfists on them. In fact, combining Hakkaku’s elbow strikes with Shunran’s double flying kicks can cause serious damage. When not fighting, Hakkaku and Shunran would happily kiss and hug each other to their delight. Muay Thai vs Capoeira Pradal Serey vs Shaolin Kung Fu Kajukenbo vs Wing Chun Panantukan vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Dambe vs Savate Moraingy vs Aikido Taekkyeon vs Ninjutsu Ginta x Shunran (OTP): The Gorgeously Lovable Couple Cherubic charm of chivalry and angelic appeal of amiability combine into a mixture of untainted beauty and unrivalled gorgeousness when these two pure and beautiful souls join forces thanks to their rapid physical agility and relentless velocity. Ginta and Shunran may seem like a couple who unconditionally care for each other. Nevertheless, opponents should be wary of their repertory of strikes, clinches, and kicks, especially when combining Ginta’s headbutt with Shunran’s flying kick backfist combo. After every combat, Ginta and Shunran would sweetly consummate their feelings as a means to soothe and cool each other down. Lethwei vs Capoeira Jeet Kune Do vs Shaolin Kung Fu Sanda vs Wing Chun Eagle Claw Kung Fu vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Pencak Silat vs Savate Hwa Rang Do vs Aikido Tang Soo Do vs Ninjutsu Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): The Regally Dutiful Pair Honour, duty, respect, focus, and determination are the hallmarks that make Sesshoumaru and Ayame shine together as warriors. They do what they can to treat each other with respect and allegiance as well as grow in physical strength, interpersonal camaraderie, and great stamina. The respect and allegiance Sesshoumaru and Ayame give to each other translates nicely into how effectively they land their jabs, hooks, roundhouse kicks, front kicks, and side kicks on their opponents. Sesshoumaru considers Ayame to be a formidable warrior queen, while Ayame considers Sesshoumaru to be an honourable warrior nobleman. Shotokan Karate vs Kickboxing Goju-Ryu Karate vs Nippon Kenpo Shito-Ryu Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo Taekwondo vs Hapkido Mixed Martial Arts vs Boxing Jujitsu vs Koppojutsu Judo vs Taido Shuran x Ayame (Loved Pairing): The Extraordinarily Formidable Pair Strength, power, understanding, support, and dedication are what define Shuran and Ayame as mighty warriors who have each others’ backs. The support they have for each other in terms of finding balance between Shuran’s brute strength and Ayame’s rapid combat prowess demonstrates how incredibly they work together in battle. This is thanks to Shuran’s use of submission holds, chokeholds, and ground and pound attacks as a counterpoint to Ayame’s jabs, uppercuts, cross punches, and hooks to annihilate their opponents. Shuran and Ayame truly embrace each other as equals and will always stand by each other every time. Professional Wrestling vs Kickboxing Vale Tudo vs Nippon Kenpo Combat Sambo vs Shorinji Kenpo Ssireum vs Hapkido Mongolian Wrestling vs Boxing Sumo Wrestling vs Koppojutsu Pehlwani vs Taido Hakkaku x Ayame (Liked Pairing): The Fabulously Fast Duo Hakkaku’s and Ayame’s speed, power, balance, and timing are truly admirable just as much as how they are willing to support each other in every endeavour they find themselves in. Considering how wonderfully Hakkaku’s excitability and Ayame’s determination combine, they would even translate their best traits into a series of elbow strikes, knee strikes, shin kicks, uppercuts, jabs, and hooks. Therefore, they could deliver a rapid execution against their opponents to shatter their bones and their spirits. Although they may not be overtly romantic with each other, they do greatly encourage each other with all of their beings.

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees and martial arts aficionados. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do and have defined them as fighters and as individuals. Today, I will be delving into the five main martial arts I highly convict Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran define their fighting styles, them as individuals, and their overall identities. I have listed the seven martial arts that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialise in to a high degree. You, my dear readers and fellow martial arts fans, have read how much I have been delving into and dedicating myself to make each of their fighting styles come to life in writing, which I hope to transfer into illustration. Now, I want to delve into the five main martial arts that I believe Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would incorporate and mix with lethal gusto. Therefore, I personally believe that it is not the martial art that is measured by how lethal it is, but the practitioners who use the martial arts, push themselves to thrive in them, and make them effective weapons of self-defence, power, accurate timing and, to some extent, mass destruction. With that said, let the joints break, the fists and feet fly, and blood be spewed from opponents’ bodies when Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are on the prowl to punch, kick, strike, and grapple loads of butts. Sesshoumaru: MCMAP, MMA, Brazilian Jujitsu, Shotokan Karate, and Taekwondo Military precision and lethal stamina are the hallmarks of what make Sesshoumaru an effective martial artist. Marine Corps Martial Arts provides him with the quick reaction time he needs to disarm his enemies and rain vicious blows. The same thing can be said about Sesshoumaru’s ground and pound attacks in Mixed Martial Arts plus his grappling leverage in Brazilian Jujitsu. More than anything, Sesshoumaru exhibits focus in Shotokan Karate and Taekwondo thanks to his signature roundhouse kicks, spinning backfists, and jabs to the body. All of Sesshoumaru’s foes would easily find themselves shattered with intimidation. Shuran: Vale Tudo, Sambo, Profesional Wrestling, Sumo Wrestling, and Pehlwani Brutal physical strength, an imposing body size, and a larger-than-life personality may define Shuran as a grappler, but his personal dedication shines like the brightest of diamonds to the point where promoters would be happy to have him featured as the heavyweight champion fighter. Shuran does take advantage of Vale Tudo’s and Sambo’s bloodily vicious ground and pound attacks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes plus Pro-Wrestling’s showman-like bravado, Sumo Wrestling’s raw power, and Pehlwani’s will to go down and dirty thanks to how he uses a myriad of submission holds. Shuran’s grappling can indubitably tear his foes to tiny shreds. Inuyasha: Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, Bokator, Kenpo Karate, and Kyokushin Karate Heaps of resilience and super strength certainly make a powerful fighter like Inuyasha thrive so wonderfully, regardless if he is in a 100-man Kumite or unleashing a flurry of punches, kicks, strikes, and grapples on large hard objects. Pankration’s and Kapu Kuialua’s ferocity are put to exceptional use by Inuyasha when he approaches his enemies with submission holds and chokeholds galore. Inuyasha’s ferocity is also evident in Bokator, American Kenpo Karate, and Kyokushin Karate when he unleashes his uppercuts, Superman punches, and spinning axe kicks, thus leaving his foes with external and internal bleeding and severe bone damage. Hakkaku: Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Dambe, and Panantukan The enthusiasm, grit, and excitement Hakkaku radiates with all flow in his blood, veins, heart, and overall being when he prepares for his fights presented in some of the world’s royal arenas. This is thanks to the sheer power, torque, force, and leverage found in his formidable myriad of punches, knee strikes, elbow strikes, shin kicks, and headbutts, specifically used in Muay Thai and Pradal Serey. Hakkaku’s formidability is just as clearly illustrated when he puts his signature cross punches, shin kicks, elbow strikes, headbutts, clinches, and knee strikes in Kajukenbo, Dambe, and Panantukan, thus reducing his foes to microscopic crumbs. Ginta: Lethwei, Sanda, Pencak Silat, Hwa Rang Do, and Jeet Kune Do The charm, lovability, and honour Ginta exudes on a day-to-day basis are all reflected in how positive the audience reception is when he enters every single fight he finds himself in. Coupled with how positive Ginta is as a person is his speed, power, balance, timing, torque, and grit in his shin kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes, headbutts, clinches, and punches, especially used to great effect in Lethwei, Sanda, and Pencak Silat. Coupling with those attacks are his signature flying kicks, spinning kicks, and gut punches present in Jeet Kune Do and Hwa Rang Do, thus doing as much irreparable damage and destruction to all of his foes. Ayame: Kickboxing, Koppojutsu, Hapkido, Boxing, and Krav Maga There is no question that Ayame possesses a high degree of ambition, determination, confidence, and strong willpower to deliver an amazing repertoire of punches, kicks, and strikes complete with breakneck speed, Herculean strength, and quick reactive timing. Her powerful fists and flashy footwork are especially made clear in Kickboxing, Boxing, and Hapkido when she unleashes her signature uppercuts, jabs, hooks, cross punches, Superman punches, and leopard blows. She also has brutal disarming skills used in Hapkido and Krav Maga when she permanently annihilates her foes’ bones thanks to her lethal strikes of doom. Shunran: Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, Ninjutsu, Aikido, and Baguazhang There is nothing to doubt when Shunran bears more than sufficient resourcefulness, cleverness, avidness, and grace to demonstrate that she is not fooling around with her kicks, tricking, strikes, and punches filled with speedy agility, Mercurial rapidness, and frightening unpredictability. Her dancelike moves combined with her agile leg and arm strength are clearly shown in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Baguazhang when she launches her butterfly kicks, split kicks, flying kicks, hooks, jabs, backfists, and knife…
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 specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into the main martial arts sparring matches my three personal platonic pairings revolving around Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Once again, they are Sesshoumaru and Shuran; Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta; and Ayame and Shunran. We have now come to this, ladies and gentlemen, the main martial art sparring matches that my three favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings Sesshoumaru and Shuran; Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta; and Ayame and Shunran specialise in the most. This time, I am elevating things with main martial arts that I believe are the most deadly and can cause the most amount of collateral damage against their opponents per platonic pairing. With that said, let the blows fly and the camaraderie commence. Sesshoumaru and Shuran: Mixed Martial Arts vs Vale Tudo With Sesshoumaru’s precise use of Shotokan Karate, Goju-Ryu Karate, and Shito-Ryu Karate in Mixed Martial Arts as well as Shuran’s great use of Combat Sambo, Pro-Wrestling, and Sumo Wrestling in Vale Tudo, these two powerhouses are at an advantage when combining Sesshoumaru’s lethally accurate strikes and Shuran’s brutally strong grapples. Furthermore, the respect, moral support, dedication, and allegiance they would have for each other as combatants and as individuals compliment the relentless number of attacks they have in store against their hapless opponents who are brazen enough to challenge them. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta: Pankration vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei The sight of Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s own blood thrills them when they are on the prowl to deliver some serious close-range blows and clinches to their opponents. Inuyasha may be formidable in Kyokushin Karate, Seidokaikan Karate, and Enshin Karate; Hakkaku may be fierce in Pradal Serey, Panantukan, and Kajukenbo; Ginta may be fearless in Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, and Pencak Silat, but their versatility in their punches, kicks, strikes, and grapples are also incorporated in Pankration, Muay Thai, and Lethwei. Their brotherly sparring sessions together are also filled with integrity, truth, honour, and determination. Ayame and Shunran: Hapkido vs Shaolin Kung Fu There is a slight chance that opponents would ever survive when Ayame delivers her powerful punches and incredible kicks and Shunran unleashes her array of kicks, tricking, and strikes. Ayame’s strength and power in Kickboxing, Koppojutsu, and Nippon Kenpo are applied well in Hapkido, while Shunran’s agility and speed in Capoeira, Aikido, and Ninjutsu are well-implemented in Shaolin Kung Fu. What further solidifies Ayame’s and Shunran’s sisterhood is how they build each other up with openness, cooperation, a positive attitude, and resilience to make every punch, kick, and strike have stronger significance as fighters and as individuals. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, my three favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings in the forms of their main martial arts sparring matches. Please let me know in the comments which one is your favourite. Until then, train hard and well, and stay healthy.
