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 because they work wonderfully effective together. The fact remains that, although Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are strong fighters on their own, they work outstandingly well together when it comes to giving their foes a barrage of explosive blows as well as maintaining a sense of honour, dedication, cooperation, and brother- and sisterhood. Therefore, The Splendid Seven live, breathe, and thrive on the martial arts as their way of life.   Coming from somebody who has been playing fighting games as a young lad, watches let’s plays revolving around fighting games on YouTube, and watches a bevy of martial arts documentaries, I have also conducted research on various fighting game characters in terms of moves and attacks. I did this as a means to implement what specific punch, kick, and/or grapple Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have up their sleeves. Trust me when I say that what these seven Yokai martial artists do is neither a joke nor a game nor anything to try at home unless with parental consent or proper training. In essence, Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s strikes, grapples, and clinches could be potentially fatal if neither careful nor well-prepared, Shuran’s grapples can cause bodily trauma, Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s strikes and clinches can cause nerve damage, Ayame’s strikes can cause broken bones and concussions galore, and Shunran’s strikes can cause unconsciousness. Trying to pick fights with them and, worst of all, inciting any form of violence against them as a family plus their families as a whole are akin to demanding for a quick and speedy death sentence, so I would never recommend picking a fight with Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran if I were you.   With that said, let us delve in to what I believe are their most powerful and most effective moves in the martial arts. As a reminder, I will also put in their signature martial arts in order to formulate their most powerful attacks they would launch against their enemies. Hajime!   Sesshoumaru’s deadly accuracy and strength in the strikes and blows of Karate (Shotokan, Shito-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shorei-Ryu, Motobu-Ryu, and Uechi-Ryu); Taekwondo’s speed; Brazilian Jujitsu’s, Japanese Jujitsu’s, and Judo’s tackles, grapples, and takedowns, Mixed Martial Arts’ brutality, and Marine Corps Martial Arts’ military precision offer his foes a bitter taste of pain and punishment. This is evidenced in his following signature moves that promise clean attacks, precise timing, and boundless power. Rumbling Mastodon Hook Punch Furious Sabre-Toothed Tiger Spinning Reverse Punch Raging Tyrannosaurus Front Punch Fierce Triceratops Roundhouse Kick Punishing Stegosaurus Roundhouse Kick Seismic Brontosaurus Guillotine Choke Fast Pterodactyl Foot Sweeps   Shuran’s grappling abilities in British, American, Japanese, and Mexican Professional Wrestling, Mongolian Wrestling, Ssireum, Pehlwani, Sumo, and Malla-yuddha plus his brutal ground and pound attacks in Sambo and Vale Tudo all mean serious business when he launches these attacks against his opponents. They would find themselves badly bruised and choked out of their lives when he launches his attacks he has in store for them, which take advantage of unrelenting leverage and brute strength. Explosive Elephant Body Slam Freezing Snow Yeti Bearhug Stampeding Rhinoceros Hammer Fists Olympian Sasquatch Ground and Pound Quaking Tapir Leg Strike Raising Wild Boar Boston Crab Majestic Gorilla Full Nelson   Inuyasha’s combat versatility in the strikes and blows in Karate (Kyokushin, Seidokaikan, Wado-Ryu, Ashihara, Budokan, Enshin, and Gosoku-Ryu), American Kenpo Karate’s boundless array of powerful blows, Pankration’s formidability in brutal takedowns and grapples, Ancient Greek Wrestling’s might, Ancient Greek Boxing’s ruthlessness, Bokator’s explosion, and Kapu Kuialua’s fury demonstrate his penchant for full close contact combat. Thus, Inuyasha’s moves against his opponents promise indubitably bloody defeats. Rising Hydra Uppercut Punch Mighty Nemean Lion Superman Punch Rampaging Minotaur Liver Punches Charging Cretan Bull Double Axe Handle Flashing Pegasus Axe Kick Fiery Chimaera Spinning Back Kick Ferocious Kraken Piledriver   Hakkaku’s fists, feet, shins, knees, elbows, and head are put to lethal yet phenomenal use in Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Panantukan, Dambe, Moraingy, and Taekkyeon, for he revels in striking and clinching attacks. Whenever Hakkaku launches his attacks rich in striking and clinching regardless of distance, he ensures proper timing combined with speedy fatal blows as well as full contact towards his foes. Therefore, he shows a surprising amount of tact when it comes to entrapping his foes with his fast and sharp blows. Voracious Crocodile Swing Punch Hungry Alligator Overhand Punch Poisonous Komodo Dragon Shin Kick Vicious Viper Knee Strike Venomous King Cobra Elbow Strike Snapping Boa Constrictor Low Kick Lunging Anaconda Headbutt   Ginta’s unstoppable brand of propelling his fists, feet, shins, knees, elbows, and head is what makes him thrive so exceptionally in Lethwei, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, Pencak Silat, Hwa Rang Do, Tang Soo Do, and Eagle Claw Kung Fu. His striking and clinching attacks combine surprising his foes, quick reflexes, and relentless stamina in order to be consistently ahead of the game every single time. Even more evident is high degree of sportsmanship and dedication when going all in with his clinching and striking moves. Screaming Mandrill Haymaker Punch Jumping Baboon Crescent Kick Howling Chimpanzee Chain Punch Leaping Lemur Flying Knee Strike Sprinting Spider Monkey Shin Kick Rambunctious Orangutan Lunge Punch Gliding Tarsier Elbow Strike   Ayame’s devastatingly phenomenal and terrifyingly astounding leverage of her fists and feet make her blows in Dutch, American, and Japanese Kickboxing as well as Savate brutally explosive and full of stamina. Furthermore, the same use of her punches, kicks, and grapples are evident in Boxing, Koppojutsu, Nippon Kenpo, Shorinji Kenpo, Hapkido, Taido, Aikido, and Krav Maga. Every strike she commits towards would leave her opponents writhing in pain as well as praying for quick repose from all the excruciation they found themselves in.
