Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. As you can tell from the title, I am giving this Toonami-Era Inuranger team lineup one last shot. I was undoubtedly satisfied with the team lineups that I arranged for Mighty Morphin Inurangers, Inurangers in Space, Inurangers Lost Galaxy, and Inurangers Time Force, and I decided to keep them this way. However, looking back at the teams that I arranged for Mighty Morphin Makai Rangers which I will rename Mighty Ronin Inurangers, Inurangers Zeo, Inurangers Turbo, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Wild Force, I was not pleased looking back at these lineups. I also wanted to give the YuYu Hakusho cast their spot independent from my Inurangers AU headcanon. Therefore, Mighty Ronin Inurangers will receive a cast overhaul, while Inurangers Zeo, Inurangers Turbo, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Wild Force will have some cast changeups. For those of you who are new to this cast lineup, the Toonami-Era Inurangers are the fictional counterpart to the Saban-Era Power Rangers from 1993 to 2002 after more dedicated rewatching of all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers up to Power Rangers Wild Force. Mighty Morphin Inurangers involves Inuyasha, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as the main seven rangers. The subsequent Inurangers series also follows the format of having seven main rangers per season akin to the real-life Super Sentai and Power Rangers counterparts in Japan and America respectively. Sure, the real-life Super Sentai and Power Rangers counterparts usually top between five to six main members. However, I argue that seven is the perfect number for a Super Sentai or Power Rangers team. Ever since committing myself to creating Inurangers team lineups, I have become a lot stricter with how the teams shall be arranged. All three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers and Inurangers Time Force have five male members and two female members. In contrast, Inurangers in Space and Inurangers Lost Galaxy have three male members and four female members. However, the other Inurangers series ended up becoming a bit fast and loose with how many male members and female members can be in each Inuranger team, with Inurangers Zeo having two male members and five female members, as well as Mighty Morphin Makai Rangers, Inurangers Turbo, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Wild Force, having four male members and three female members. Now that I have become a lot more straightforward with my visions for the Toonami-Era Inurangers teams, I have decided to strictly adhere to the five-male-member/two-female-member and three-male-member/four-female-member formats. Why I chose these arrangements is because the five-male-member/two-female-member and three-male-member/four-female-member formats are my favorite ones to work with. This is how each team lineup shall be arranged. Each team lineup shall have seven main members, i.e., 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.

This couple’s relationship inspirations meme originally belongs to MelSpyRose and is dedicated to all the wonderful shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the following couples: Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya, Eric x Taylor or Quantum Eagle, Leo x Maya or The Tribal Lions, and Andros x Ashley or The Space Rangers in Love. This is also dedicated to everybody willing to give Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger romances a shot and everybody who has been enjoying my Mighty Morphin Inurangers AU headcanon thus far. Sit back, relax, and revel in the Saban-Era Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger romantic couples that constitute Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s almighty, omnipotent, and unbeatable bond as a canine Yokai power couple. My Mighty Morphin Inurangers AU headcanon has established that Inuyasha is the super strong, hot-blooded, choleric Red Ranger leader and Ayame is the fabulously fierce, determined, resilient Yellow Ranger tomboy. Inuyasha embodies both Tommy Oliver’s and Jason Lee Scott’s victorious brands of leadership, strength, courage, and virility. Therefore, he possesses Tommy’s iconic popularity as the greatest Power Ranger ever for all three Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seasons, specifically when he led the team during Season 2’s second half and all of Season 3, with a hint of Zeo and Turbo during his later Red Ranger tenures and Jason’s courageous leadership as the original Red Ranger for the first two MMPR seasons. Ayame embodies both Trini Kwan’s warmth, dedication, and compassion and Aisha Campbell’s sass, courage, and persistence with a hint of Tanya Sloan’s genuineness, thus possessing Trini’s, Aisha’s, and Tanya’s best qualities during their respective times on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. There is no doubt that Tommy, Jason, Trini, Aisha, and Tanya will be happy for Inuyasha and Ayame. Inuyasha’s ownership of Tommy’s long-staying power as the greatest Ranger ever and Jason’s virile courage as the original Red Ranger leader as well as Ayame’s ownership of Trini’s warm dedication as the original Yellow Ranger, Aisha’s persistent sass as the second Yellow Ranger, and Tanya’s noble valor from the last half of Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers all the way up to Zeo and the first half of Turbo signify two great bonds in store for Inuyasha and Ayame respectively. Inuyasha easily considers Tommy and Jason to be the best big brothers from other mothers he can always look up to, while Ayame cherishes her sisterhood with Trini, Aisha, and Tanya. While Inuyasha is grateful for Tommy’s and Jason’s unconditional brotherhood and Ayame is blessed for Trini’s, Aisha’s, and Tanya’s unbreakable sisterhood, this is where all of their similarities as Rangers end. This is attributed to Tommy and Jason solely possessing platonic relationships with Trini, Aisha, and Tanya during their tenures as Red Rangers and Yellow Rangers. At least Inuyasha and Ayame have three Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger couples they can wholly emulate. Inuyasha may possess Tommy’s long-lasting popularity in the Power Rangers franchise and Jason’s indomitable leadership skills, but he also possesses Eric Myers’ leonine steeliness, Leo Corbett’s virile valor, and Andros’ stealthy courage. Ayame may be imbued with Trini’s warm compassion, Aisha’s resilient sass, and Tanya’s pure loyalty, but she also has Taylor Earhardt’s fierce combat prowess, Maya’s sterling bravery, and Ashley’s radiant kindness in her arsenal. What Eric, Leo, and Andros possess as Red Rangers and what Taylor, Maya, and Ashley bear as Yellow Rangers are what also solidify them as couples, specifically Eric x Taylor, Leo x Maya, and Andros x Ashley. Moreover, Eric’s and Taylor’s indomitable will to challenge themselves, Leo’s and Maya’s unwavering courage to fight for justice, and Andros’ and Ashley’s peerlessly unconditional love for each other are the traits necessary for Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s romantic relationship as a canine Yokai power couple to thrive and flourish. Eric, Leo, Andros, Taylor, Maya, and Ashley will be supportive of Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s romance and will champion them together. Eric Myers the red-clad Quantum Ranger and Taylor Earhardt the yellow-clad Soaring Eagle Ranger embody all the combat prowess, fighting spirit, and military toughness that Inuyasha and Ayame need to lead the Northern Yoro Tribe to victory against invaders and conquest against marauders. Both Eric and Taylor do exceptional jobs in imbuing Inuyasha and Ayame with abundant fortitude, steeliness, and toughness to make all of their opponents surrender. Eric’s and Taylor’s signature steely fortitude is what also motivates Inuyasha and Ayame to challenge their personal bests and embrace every challenge they encounter in their lives as the King and Queen of the Northern Yoro Tribe. In return, Inuyasha and Ayame find themselves thoroughly subscribing to Eric’s and Taylor’s military strength and leonine combat prowess as warriors. Furthermore, both Eric and Taylor as well as Inuyasha and Ayame bear huge quantities of passionate sexual tension aside from leading their troops to victory complete with iron fists. Inuyasha and Ayame would easily emulate Eric’s and Taylor’s leonine formidability as a power couple. Leo Corbett the Red Galaxy Ranger and Maya of Mirinoi the Yellow Galaxy Ranger capitalize on dutiful responsibility, benevolent leadership, and heroic courage for Inuyasha and Ayame to grow both individually as warriors and together as a power couple. Because Inuyasha and Ayame have a great responsibility to their tribe and to all of their fourteen children, Leo and Maya would ensure that they are on a good track and serve as great confidants. This is because Leo and Maya also have duties to protect and serve the citizens of Terra Venture and Mirinoi, thanks to their courageous leadership as chief and chieftainess of both lands. Leo’s heroic courage and Maya’s valiant compassion are also the necessary traits for Inuyasha and Ayame to be more attentive leaders to their people as well as unconditionally loving parents to their children. Leo’s and Maya’s great duties as chief and chieftainess aside, they also possess tenderness and warmth as a couple, which makes them positive influences for Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s love lives. Inuyasha and Ayame would salute Leo’s and Maya’s heroic leadership with all their hearts. Andros of KO-35 the Red Space Ranger and Ashley Hammond…
