This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Ippo and Cole being great friends, the firmest of soul brothers, and the most compassionate of comrades grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Cole’s and Ippo’s marvelously interpersonal warmth and genuinely unconditional love as brothers from other mothers who will always have each other’s backs and whose hearts of gold will forever shine as brilliantly as ever. Cole is a Red Ranger whose heart, mind, and soul are in the right place, especially when it comes to protecting all living beings from disastrous calamities. He wears peace, compassion, respect, understanding, and servitude to other people and nature like a well-fashioned suit of tribal armor. When he takes the time to consider the next best actions as well as get to the heart of individuals’ intentions, he finds the clearest distinction between a good Samaritan who has selflessly noble intentions and a malevolent bastard who has insidiously vicious intentions. Ippo may be an Olympic-level boxer with abundant dreams and aspirations, but even he needs to learn some sobering lessons from Cole. There is no doubt that Ippo respects, admires, and adulates Cole and his sense of intuition as well as compassion for those he cares for from his friends to his family. Furthermore, Ippo would learn a ton from Cole from the importance of family and friends to respect for nature, which he would soak up exceedingly well. This comes to a head when both Cole and Ippo end up accepting each other as soul brothers for life. Cole and Ippo have a genuine brotherhood that transcends respect, camaraderie, and positive vibes, for they can encourage each other to remain noble, pure, and steadfast not only toward each other but also toward the people they care about the most. Their brotherhood would also be well-implemented in the various activities they do. Ippo’s skills as an Olympic-level boxer would challenge Cole to sharpen his combat skills and diversify his repertoire of striking attacks. Cole would impart his tribal skills to Ippo to make him a resourceful hunter, gatherer, and tracker for food as well as a true protector for his family and friends. Both of them would be just as enthusiastic as each other, considering that they are the recent additions to their respective “Forever Red” universes. Outside their Red Ranger tenure, Cole and Ippo would even express happiness, gratitude, and joy as genuine brothers forever. Cole and Ippo would even express how much they want to have a brother in their lives. This motivates Cole to affirm to Ippo that he will be the best big brother he will ever be, thus culminating in a warm embrace. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody. Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo belongs to George Morikawa and Madhouse.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Takeshi and Alex being great friends, super staunch comrades, and amazingly formidable brothers-in-arms grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Alex’s and Takeshi’s magnificently potent and indubitably amazing fraternal bond as comrades-in-arms who will always challenge each other to grow as combatants and as men. Alex brims with determination, toughness, and resilience as the original Red Time Force Ranger. While he may not have participated in “Forever Red”, Alex’s firm, by-the-book approach to leadership serves as a canvas for Wes to rise as his own Red Time Force Ranger. Alex was also responsible for aiding his comrades out in battle behind the shadows from releasing Time Shadow to providing Wes with the Strata Cycle. Despite his brand of leadership being too harsh during his return, even he learns from Wes that destiny can be changed. Enter Takeshi who has taken on the mantle of being the Red Time Shadow Inuranger as a stark contrast to Alex being the original Red Time Force Ranger and also avenges Rocky DeSantos’s non-participation in “Forever Red.” Takeshi’s hot-blooded strength and unwavering fortitude as a boxer, a combatant, and even the original leader of the Time Force Inurangers have made a strong impression on Alex. Even Takeshi’s willingness to stick by his team have been nothing short of impressive in Alex’s eyes. Therefore, Alex and Takeshi form a brotherly bond that guarantees growth. Alex and Takeshi salute each other as comrades and brothers-in-arms who revel in challenging each other to grow as fighters and as soldiers for justice. Sometimes Alex’s rigid, old-world, and über conventional sense of authority tends to irritate Takeshi to the point where he feels tired of being lectured by him. On the flip side, Takeshi’s impulsiveness, brashness, rash attitude, and tough stubbornness drive Alex up a wall to the point where he wants to use physical force to restrain him, i.e., his chokeholds and counterattacks whenever Takeshi attempts to swing his fists at him. However, they never give up on each other even when times get extremely contentious and would always encourage each other to reach their best potential. Alex always encourages Takeshi to not let his impulses get the better of him. Takeshi, in turn, always makes Alex see that there is more to life than just following everything by the book. Alex and Takeshi are not alone in seeing each other’s best sides as brothers from other mothers, as Rocky would also do his part in stating how proud he is of Takeshi for growing as a secondary Red Ranger. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.
