Greetings, anime fans, martial arts aficionados, fighting game devotees, and enthusiasts of all things about anime, martial arts, video games, and fighting tournaments. Antoni here with another written entry. This has been a long time in the making since I finished writing my Master’s Thesis over three weeks ago. Since I started making that lovely present for my dear friend and one of my most loyal watchers, Jeffrey Quick aka Ginga1122, last year, I thought it would be grand to provide a more updated version of the fourteen anime martial arts teams training Dudley and Daisy. I promise that this revised version shall be a lot more exciting, considering the more updated choices I have for a great chunk of the martial arts teams. Besides, Dudley x Daisy has remained top of mind as my most beloved T.U.F.F. Puppy one true pairing of all time. As always, I have placed Dudley’s and Daisy’s human ages on show. Furthermore, they will learn the signature techniques from each individual group member and will be divided into weeks according to the groups. I am going to town with this version this time. So, I hope you all sit back, relax, and enjoy this more updated version. Tokyo, Japan. May 17, 2014, the date which the second season’s twenty-sixth episode “Girlfriend or Foe?” aired on the Nicktoons Network. 26-year-old Dudley Puppy and his 24-year-old wife, Daisy Spaniel-Puppy, were enthusiastic to set foot in Tokyo for fourteen weeks of totally intense martial arts immersion. Joining them were their seven children: 4-year-old twin sons Damien Callum Puppy and Darren Carlton Puppy, 3-year-old triplet sons Dennis Edward Puppy, David Elmer Puppy, and Devon Ezekiel Puppy; and 2-year-old twin daughters Dorothy Grace Puppy and Dominique Glory Puppy. The Puppy family arranged for their driver to travel around the various locales they were training in. The driver in question was Totosai, who was old but was still sufficiently active to drive the Puppy family around, babysit the Puppy offspring, and tend to Dudley and Daisy if they found themselves in physical pain from their intense training. Totosai showed them their apartment complete with a huge kitchen, a bathroom downstairs and another upstairs, and a spacious room fit for the whole Puppy family. The room also included a twin bed for Damien and Darren; a triplet bed for Dennis, David, and Devon; and a twin bed for Dorothy and Dominique on one side of the room and a queen-sized bed for Dudley and Daisy on the other side of the room. Totosai also had his own bedroom downstairs, given that he was the Puppy family’s chauffeur and caretaker during their fourteen weeks in Tokyo. The Puppy family settled into their new apartment with bags unpacked and itineraries prepared for fourteen weeks of intense martial arts training. Damien, Darren, Dennis, David, Devon, Dorothy, and Dominique were still very young toddlers trying out the techniques that their parents would learn. Nevertheless, they were prepared to absorb new skills that would assist them in their growth as combatants. As Dudley and Daisy were agents and combat specialists for the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force or T.U.F.F. for short, they were ecstatic to see that their little children wanted to be just as proficient as they were in combat. They even agreed to let their children start young for them to be just as immersed as they were, with Totosai lending his watchful eye to them. Time waited for nobody. Dudley and Daisy prepared their bodies, minds, and souls for highly intense training, while their children were going to participate and root for their parents. The journey has just begun in learning various techniques while trying to remain in one piece. Week 1- The Splendid Seven of Nerima: Feral Beasts on a Roaring Rampage (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran) Dudley’s and Daisy’s first mentors were a septet of ferocious Yokai martial arts warriors renowned for their feral brutality in international martial arts tournaments. They were the platonic duo Sesshoumaru and Shuran, the power couple Inuyasha and Ayame, and the gorgeous throuple Hakkaku, Shunran, and Ginta. They were excited to train under them, as their children heard stories about Sesshoumaru’s cold deadliness, Shuran’s rampaging brutishness, Inuyasha’s muscular strength, Hakkaku’s undying stealth, Ginta’s unwavering stamina, Ayame’s determined ferocity, and Shunran’s sharp accuracy. They were even renowned for triumphing against opponents bigger and stronger than they were, such as the case of their epic win in the Winter 2004 Austrian Alps martial arts tournament against Ulrich Wernerstein and his bodybuilder goons. The Splendid Seven’s reputation for being seven fearsome Yokai martial arts warriors was about to be put to the extreme test and would end up putting Dudley and Daisy in a world of pain and pandemonium. Nevertheless, they were prepared to learn to overcome even the fiercest and scariest of opponents. Day 1- Mixed Martial Arts plus Vale Tudo, Luta Livre, Huka-Huka, Modern Pankration, Pancrase, Combat Sambo, and Catch Wrestling with 33-year-old Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha (Hell’s Gate submission holds) Day 2- Professional Wrestling plus Sumo Wrestling, Lutte Traditionelle, Gidigbo, Malla-yuddha, Pehlwani, Boli Khela, and Mongolian Wrestling with 32-year-old Shuran from Inuyasha (Canadian backbreaker racks) Day 3- Ancient Greek Wrestling plus Shoot Wrestling, Kapu Kuialua, Ancient Pankration, Ssireum, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, and Folkstyle Wrestling with 32-year-old Inuyasha from Inuyasha (sharpshooters) Day 4- Muay Boran plus Lerdrit, Bokator, Muay Lao, Muay Korat, Muay Chaiya, Muay Lopburi, and Muay Thasao with 31-year-old Hakkaku from Inuyasha (spine-lock takedowns) Day 5- Lethwei plus Bokator, Lerdrit, Muay Lao, Muay Thasao, Muay Lopburi, Muay Korat, and Muay Chaiya with 31-year-old Ginta from Inuyasha (neck-snap takedowns) Day 6- Xtreme Gladiator Kickboxing plus Shooto, Shootfighting, Shoot Boxing, Draka Kickboxing, Kyuk Too Ki, Muay Thai, and Pradal Serey with 29-year-old Ayame from Inuyasha (ground-and-pounds) Day 7- Sanda plus Dutch Kickboxing, Japanese Kickboxing, American Kickboxing, Wing Chun, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, and Changquan with 28-year-old Shunran from Inuyasha (sprawl-and-brawls) Week 2- The Stupendously Stellar Septenary of Shinjuku: Devastating Missiles on Fire (Kurz, Masaru,…
Different platform. Same game. Kind of.
Greetings, anime fans, martial arts aficionados, fighting game devotees, and enthusiasts of all things about anime, martial arts, video games, and fighting tournaments. Antoni here with another written entry. I know I already made a previous entry regarding my fourteen teams each consisting of seven anime characters practicing various martial arts barely three months ago. While, I was satisfied with a majority of the martial arts choices I gave to them, there were some issues. First, a couple of the team-ups no longer made sense in hindsight. Secondly, I thought it would be better to switch up some of the martial arts per practitioner. Third, there are also some names that must be changed. As you can tell from the title, this is the last time I will make these important changes and find myself more satisfied with the line-up arranged. As always, the drill is that I list down the teams, the members, their martial arts styles, birthdays, and current ages. I’ve also changed some of the birthdays, since I was also not that satisfied with some of them. These changes will make me feel a lot more at ease combined with a heightened sense of joy. With that said, let’s get ready to rumble once again! Osu! Hajime! The Splendid Seven (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran) The arena resounds in triumph and enthrallment when two mighty dog yokai warrior brothers in Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, three spiky-haired yokai warrior brothers in Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and two auburn-haired yokai warrior sisters in Ayame and Shunran enter the arena. They are always felicitated to provide their rivals with a one-way ticket to perilous pandemonium. Sesshoumaru’s Hell’s Gate submission holds, Shuran’s Canadian backbreaker racks, Inuyasha’s sharpshooters, Hakkaku’s spine-lock takedowns, Ginta’s neck-snap takedowns, Ayame’s ground-and-pounds, and Shunran’s sprawl-and-brawls cause fatal and collateral damage to their opponents. Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha– Mixed Martial Arts with a background in Vale Tudo, Luta Livre, Huka-Huka, Modern Pankration, Pancrase, Combat Sambo, and Catch Wrestling; March 17, 1981; 43 years old Shuran from Inuyasha– Professional Wrestling with a background in Sumo Wrestling, Lutte Traditionelle, Gidigbo, Malla-yuddha, Pehlwani, Boli Khela, and Mongolian Wrestling; March 1, 1982; 42 years old Inuyasha from Inuyasha– Ancient Greek Wrestling with a background in Shoot Wrestling, Kapu Kuialua, Ancient Pankration, Ssireum, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, and Folkstyle Wrestling; March 9, 1982; 42 years old Hakkaku from Inuyasha– Muay Boran with a background in Lerdrit, Bokator, Muay Lao, Muay Korat, Muay Chaiya, Muay Lopburi, and Muay Thasao; March 22, 1983; 41 years old Ginta from Inuyasha– Lethwei with a background in Bokator, Lerdrit, Muay Lao, Muay Thasao, Muay Lopburi, Muay Korat, and Muay Chaiya; March 29, 1983; 41 years old Ayame from Inuyasha– Xtreme Gladiator Kickboxing with a background in Shooto, Shootfighting, Shoot Boxing, Draka Kickboxing, Kyuk Too Ki, Muay Thai, and Pradal Serey; February 7, 1985; 39 years old Shunran from Inuyasha– Sanda with a background in Dutch Kickboxing, Japanese Kickboxing, American Kickboxing, Wing Chun, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, and Changquan; February 14, 1986; 38 years old The Stupendously Stellar Septenary (Kurz, Masaru, Tatsuya, Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza) The stakes in combat and viewer spectatorship shall increase when Kurz Weber, Masaru Aoki, and Tatsuya Kimura exude formidable fortitude; Ichise and Kiba demonstrate lethal determination, and Ran and Cheza exercise focused accuracy to triumph over any competition in the arena. Their rivals will know neither sleep nor peace when these seven formidable combatants give them a piece of their minds. Kurz’s body avalanches, Masaru’s double axe handles, Tatsuya’s flying body scissors, Ichise’s rear-naked chokes, Kiba’s triangle chokes, Ran’s leopard blows, and Cheza’s tiger claw strikes can make their opponents pay a terrible price for underestimating their combat prowess and skills. Kurz Weber from Full Metal Panic– Vale Tudo; April 1, 1982; 42 years old Masaru Aoki from Hajime no Ippo– Luta Livre; September 9, 1982; 42 years old Tatsuya Kimura from Hajime no Ippo– Huka-Huka; October 10, 1982; 42 years old Ichise from Texhnolyze– Shooto; February 11, 1984; 40 years old Kiba from Wolf’s Rain– Shootfighting; November 24, 1984; 40 years old Ran from Texhnolyze– Wing Chun; April 12, 1989; 35 years old Cheza from Wolf’s Rain– Bajiquan; April 22, 1989; 35 years old The Superbly Sweeping Septet (Mario, Atsunobu, Ryuichi, Hiroto, Kintaro, Ayu, and Nina) Martial arts fanatics and casual viewers combined better prepare themselves when Mario Musicanova and Atsunobu Hayashimizu exhibit their accurate thoroughness; Ryuichi Hayami, Hiroto Amagiwa, and Kintaro Toyama win over the crowd with their charismatic charm, and Ayu and Nina flaunt their peerless physical flexibility. Physically stronger and more skilled rivals would marvel at how superbly their capabilities excel their imaginations. Mario’s European uppercuts, Atsunobu’s elbow smashes, Ryuichi’s elbow drops, Hiroto’s forearm clubs, Kintaro’s guillotine chokes, Ayu’s eagle claw strikes, and Nina’s crane beak strikes make their opponents flee in terror for their lives. Mario Musicanova from Geneshaft– Modern Pankration; December 26, 1982; 42 years old Atsunobu Hayashimizu from Full Metal Panic– Pancrase; April 19, 1983; 41 years old Ryuichi Hayami from Hajime no Ippo– Combat Sambo; December 23, 1983; 41 years old Hiroto Amagiwa from Geneshaft– Catch Wrestling; March 12, 1984; 40 years old Kintaro Toyama from Detective School Q– Shoot Boxing; November 28, 1984; 40 years old Ayu Tateishi from Ultra Maniac– Baguazhang; May 21, 1989; 35 years old Nina Sakura from Ultra Maniac– Changquan; May 31, 1989; 35 years old The Iron Brawn Emperors (Yoshiki, Mamoru, Kuranosuke, Tsume, Mitsuhide, Kisuke, and Shinosuke) Massively magnificent muscles bulging like mountain ranges and victorious virility to match their bulging muscles are the attributes that bring Yoshiki Takaishi, Mamoru Takamura, Kuranosuke Takeda, Tsume, Mitsuhide Kuroda, Kisuke, and Shinosuke to triumph against much stronger rivals as warlord emperor wrestlers. These seven musclebound emperor wrestlers also possess earth-shaking roars that make gorillas, lions, and tyrannosaurus rexes blush. Yoshiki’s vertebreakers, Mamoru’s burning hammers, Kuranosuke’s brainbusters, Tsume’s powerbombs, Mitsuhide’s piledrivers, Kisuke’s Canadian destroyers, and Shinosuke’s shooting star presses annihilate their opponents. Yoshiki Takaishi from Shootfighter Tekken– Sumo Wrestling;…
