This “What if Character Replaces Character in this Scene” meme template originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who is entertained by the idea of Inuyasha, Ryuichi Hayami, Toran, Alexander Volg Zangief, Mika Seido, Ryoma Sakamoto, Ichiro Miyata, Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, Takeshi Sendo, Baki Hanma, and Ippo Makunouchi morphing into their Red Inuranger suits just like what Tommy Oliver, Aurico, Jason Lee Scott, Theodore Jay “TJ” Jarvis Johnson, Andros, Leo Corbett, Carter Grayson, Wesley “Wes” Collins, Alex Drake, Eric Myers, and Cole Evans did in the real-life Power Rangers Wild Force episode “Forever Red.” Sit back, relax, and soak in the amazing awesomeness of the Toonami-Era Red Inurangers morphing into their respective Inuranger suits. I will have to reiterate that I included Alex Drake, despite him not being present in “Forever Red”, because this would be beneficial for Takeshi Sendo to partake in the Inurangers version of this episode as the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger. It makes sense because Alex covertly sent the Time Shadow for the main Time Force rangers to help them out in battle when he could have also worked overtly but in a different Red Time Force Ranger suit style. Furthermore, as Rocky DeSantos was supposed to be in “Forever Red”, there are at least still parts of his lancer personality inhabited by Takeshi as a counterbalance to Alex’s more abrasively domineering one. Thus, Takeshi as the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger is the best of both worlds, i.e., Rocky’s impulsive lancer with a heart of gold and Alex’s abrasive by-the-book command, and serves as a great strength to increase the overall Toonami-Era Red Inurangers team to eleven Red Rangers. The morphing sequence featured here will diverge from the real-life “Forever Red” morph. First, Aurico the Red Alien Ranger did not have a morphing sequence compared to his comrades, thus motivating me to let Ryuichi the Red Ronin Inuranger go after Inuyasha in this version of the “Forever Red” morphing sequence. With that said, let the Inurangers version of the “Forever Red” morphing sequence commence! All eleven Red Inurangers are assembled on the moon after their scuffle with the Dino Machine Cogs and are in hot pursuit by Chokyukai, Suzaku, Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryu. Chokyukai and his cronies are surprised at this new development in action. “What? Eleven Red Rangers?” Chokyukai gasped. The eleven Red Inurangers prepare themselves for battle. “Well, what are we waiting for?” Toran asks. “Let’s do it, guys!” Inuyasha commands. Inuyasha activates his Inu Morpher and bellows, “It’s morphin’ time!” Lightning flashes with Inuyasha’s command, “Tyrannosaurus!” Inuyasha is now morphed into his Red Ranger suit with his helmet akin to a Tyrannosaurus Rex and white diamonds on his chest, “Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers!” Next is Ryuichi activating his Ronin Morpher, “It’s morphin’ time! Red Ronin Inuranger Power!” Ryuichi is now morphed into his Red Ranger suit akin to an otherworldly ninja, “Red Ronin Inuranger! Kyah!” Third is Toran, “It’s morphin’ time!” Toran lifts her left arm into the air, throws both arms sideways, and places her wrists together to activate her Zeo Morpher. She then transforms into her Red Ranger suit with a star on her helmet, “Red Zeo Inuranger! EYAH!” Alexander activates his Turbo Morpher by making a movement akin to driving a car before locking the key in said Morpher, “Shift into Turbo!” He is now in his Red Ranger suit with his helmet and entire getup akin to a car, “Red Turbo Inuranger! Hyah!” Mika flashes her left hand forward, while keeping her right hand closed into a fist with her Space Morpher intact, “Let’s Rocket!” She flips the control and types in the numbers 3, 3, and 5 before pressing the button to complete her transformation. She is now in her Red Ranger suit with her helmet looking akin to a rocket and the seven colors of silver, green, black, yellow, red, pink, and blue on her chest, “Red Space Inuranger!” Ryoma activates his Galaxy Morpher by placing his right hand in a closed fist to the left and placing it back to the right to press the button, “Go Galactic!” A flash blazes surrounded by fire and lightning before Ryoma is fully dressed in his Red Ranger suit consisting of a helmet akin to a lion and his vest being white with black zigzags, “Galaxy Red Inuranger!” Ichiro activates his Lightspeed Rescue Morpher by moving his fists to the front and opening the switch, “Lightspeed Rescue!” After he opens the switch, Ichiro moves his arms forward, is engulfed by a red and white shield, is covered by it to form his suit, and dons his Red Ranger suit with two long triangles on his shoulders, two long diamonds on his flanks, and his helmet forming a white cross with roundish visor in the center, “Red Lightspeed Inuranger! Hyah!” Kiibo activates his Chrono Morpher by extending his arms with his closed fists to the side, crossing them over, moving his right hand close to the left side of his face, and pressing the button, “Time for Time Force!” Once the button is pressed, a DNA strand flies around him, and is now in his Red Ranger suit with a red arrow on his visor, his chest area surrounded by white, and wearing bright silver armbands, “Red Time Force Inuranger! YAH!” Takeshi also activates his Chrono Morpher by doing the same thing Kiibo did earlier, “Time for Time Force!” The same procedure happens. However, Takeshi’s Red Ranger suit is slightly different from Kiibo’s. While Kiibo’s Red Ranger suit is white in the chest and neck areas and is bright red, Takeshi’s suit has a slightly jagged arrow on his visor and his chest area, while being surrounded by a grey design and a slightly darker shade of red, with darker silver armbands, “Red Shadow Time Force Inuranger! YAH!” Baki activates his Quantum Morpher by placing his right wrist near to his mouth with the command, “Quantum Power!” His right hand is enveloped in a red glove, as…

This edited screenshot collage is dedicated to everybody who is a fan of Power Rangers and anime, especially when it comes to my Inurangers AU headcanon and “Forever Red” from Power Rangers Wild Force. Sit back, relax, and rejoice in the glory the Red Rangers have to offer. You have read all of my previous submissions regarding the Toonami-Era Inurangers Teams, especially the line-up that I have become completely satisfied with. You have recognized that I have given special emphasis to the Red Rangers of my Inurangers AU headcanon. Now, it is time to let all of what I have been cultivating be thoroughly shown. From left to right are the following Red Inurangers assuming their real-life Red Power Rangers counterparts as well as their suits: Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Tommy Oliver from Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers Ryuichi Hayami the Red Ronin Ranger version of Aurico from Mighty Ronin Inurangers Toran the Red Zeo Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott from Inurangers Zeo Alexander Volg Zangief the Red Turbo Ranger version of TJ Johnson from Inurangers Turbo Mika Seido the Red Space Ranger version of Andros from Inurangers in Space Ryoma Sakamoto the Red Galaxy Ranger version of Leo Corbett from Inurangers Lost Galaxy Ichiro Miyata the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger version of Carter Grayson from Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa the Red Time Force Ranger version of Wesley “Wes” Collins from Inurangers Time Force Takeshi Sendo the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger version of Alex Drake from Inurangers Time Force Baki Hanma the Quantum Time Force Ranger version of Eric Myers from Inurangers Time Force Ippo Makunouchi the Red Wild Force Ranger version of Cole Evans from Inurangers Wild Force This line-up of Red Inurangers and their real-life Saban-era Red Ranger counterparts demonstrates the similarities found in each of them and the creative liberties I took in making all of this come to fruition. The fact that Toran and Mika are the only two female Red Rangers in my Inurangers AU headcanon demonstrates that anybody can be a Power Ranger or Inuranger, and it is not just girls taking on the usual Blue, Yellow, and/or Pink Ranger costumes. It also shows that there is no reason why a mighty war-lady like Toran and an energetic bruiser gal like Mika cannot be Red Rangers and lead their team with courage. Toran and Mika are thoroughly welcome additions to the Red Ranger club, and their courage and toughness are great traits to possess for them to thrive in their roles as leaders and heroines. Some people wonder why on earth, Inuyasha the Red Mighty Morphin Inuranger is paired up with Tommy, while Toran the Red Zeo Inuranger is paired up with Jason? Should Inuyasha be the one to remain with Jason and Toran with Tommy? Hear me out, please. Yes, Inuyasha is supposed to be the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott. Yes, Toran is supposed to be the Red Zeo Ranger version of Tommy Oliver. However, those are the main arrangements I have in my Inurangers AU headcanon and are just surface-level attributes to what they are really defined by. After all, Inuyasha’s long-staying legacy as an Inuranger makes him more akin to Tommy, while Toran’s conventional take-charge leadership makes her more akin to Jason. It should never be forgotten that Inuyasha, aside from possessing Jason’s leadership skills and virile strength, also possesses Tommy’s long-lasting staying power as an Inuranger, coveted prestige as the greatest Ranger ever, powerful combat prowess, and acclaim as the face of the Inurangers. Furthermore, Inuyasha has also been leading his team for three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers, one pair of team-up episodes in Inurangers Zeo, and the epic final team-up in Inurangers in Space, thus making him the perfect candidate for leading his fellow Red Inurangers in their battle against the Demon Beast Empire. On the other hand, Toran may have possessed Tommy’s flawless combat prowess and peerless combination of power, timing, and agility, but she also possesses Jason’s rough edge as a lancer when he returns to join his fellow Red Rangers in their battle against the Machine Empire. While Inuyasha is supposed to take after Jason and Toran take after Tommy, Inuyasha truly inherits Tommy’s acclaim and evergreen legacy as the greatest Red Ranger ever just as much as Toran inherits Jason’s rugged edge and toughness. The rest of the Red Inurangers also have quirks that make them similar and different from their real-life Red Ranger counterparts. Ryuichi as the Red Ronin Ranger has way more to do than Aurico the Red Alien Ranger because he demonstrates strong combat prowess, leadership as his own fighter, and handsome virility while also possessing Rocky DeSantos’s impulsiveness. Alexander as the Red Turbo Inuranger possesses a cooler head and more collected attitude than the charismatically athletic TJ. However, his ability to think quickly on his feet and fight with valor can make TJ salute him. Mika as the Red Space Inuranger is more hands-on in combat and rougher around the edges than the more reserved and analytical Andros, but they both possess fiercely loyal hearts. Ryoma as the Red Galaxy Ranger may demonstrate more nobility and decorum than the more rambunctious Leo, but both possess virility, courage, and abundant honor as warriors and as men. Ichiro as the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger is resolutely steelier in his goals than the more charismatically heroic Carter, but both of them possess an ever-burning ambition to better themselves in their duties. Kiibo as the Red Time Force Ranger is way more impulsive, head-on, and furiously determined as a fighter than the more rational and understanding Wes, but both of them are the heroic light of their teams. Takeshi as the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger is more rambunctious, rowdier, and rougher than the more conservatively by-the-book Alex while also possessing Rocky’s impulsiveness and friendliness, thus making him a more likable version of Alex. Nevertheless, both Takeshi and Alex possess fierce determination as combatants with…
Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. I have been excited to create this line-up ever since I have been watching and re-watching “Forever Red” from Power Rangers Wild Force. It has been my greatest endeavor ever since I have finally ended up being satisfied with my arrangements with the Toonami-Era Inurangers teams. I have also been reiterating that the Toonami-Era Inurangers version of “Forever Red” has nine male Red Rangers and two female Red Rangers, thus showing that anybody can be a Red Ranger. Now, it is time for me to tackle the line-up of Toonami-Era Red Inurangers in their version of “Forever Red.” Ever since day one of creating my Inurangers headcanon, I already knew who was going to lead the Toonami-Era Red Inurangers in “Forever Red”, especially since this special celebrated ten seasons of Inurangers during the Toonami era from 2000 to 2006. He is none other than Inuyasha the original Red Inuranger who controls the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, the Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord, and the Red Ape Ninjazord during his Mighty Morphin Inurangers tenure. For three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers, one team-up during Inurangers Zeo, and one grander team-up during Inurangers in Space, he has lived up to Tommy Oliver’s title and legacy of being the greatest Ranger ever and Jason Lee Scott’s strong brand of leadership. Therefore, just like Tommy in “Forever Red,” Inuyasha leads the Toonami-era Red Inurangers to battle against the Demon Beast Empire consisting of Chokyukai, Suzaku, Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryu from Inuyasha, who are also the Inurangers version of the remaining Machine Empire bent on resurrecting Serpenterra. Furthermore, Kimiaki Shirai and Masayuki Haitani from Love Hina, who are the Inurangers’ version of Bulk and Skull, give the phone to Inuyasha for him to assemble the rest of the Red Rangers. Ippo the Red Wild Force Inuranger would even be astounded at Inuyasha’s presence and legacy as the Greatest Inuranger ever by the end of “Forever Red.” Despite Inuyasha being technically akin to Jason Lee Scott in terms of leadership, it is Toran who inherits Jason’s rougher edge and his iconic line of the team not being complete without her as Inuyasha’s replacement. She would even call Ippo the rookie of the team. Yes, Toran is the Red Zeo Inuranger just like Tommy is during his tenure in Power Rangers Zeo. However, she acts more like Jason in the sense that she is the lancer with an edge in this all-Red Ranger team-up. Much like how Jason jokes about Tommy kissing Kimberly in the juice bar, Toran also jokes about Inuyasha saying that he may have done all the work as the original Inuranger leader, but he was also kissing Ayame after their missions. Toran works greatly as a lancer to Inuyasha’s main hero/leader/mentor figure because of how well they can bounce off of each other as fellow Red Inurangers. Inuyasha’s experience as the main hero and leader and Toran’s edge as the lancer complement each other perfectly. You might have also recognized that there is a total of eleven Red Rangers. This is because I have also given the Inurangers version of Alex Drake, Takeshi Sendo from Hajime no Ippo, a very important role in this version of “Forever Red.” I also see Takeshi as a combination of Rocky’s lancer nature during his tenure as the second Mighty Morphin Red Ranger and Alex’s sternness during his tenure as the original Red Time Force Ranger. With those attributes combined, Takeshi ends up being a worthy addition to the “Forever Red” line-up, and both Rocky and Alex are vindicated in the sense that he gets to join his fellow Red Rangers as the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger. Thus, Takeshi can still work wonderfully with Kiibo as the Red Time Force Ranger and Baki as the Quantum Ranger from the same series. With that said, you know what time it is. It’s Morphin’ Time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s Rocket! Go Galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Quantum Power! Wild Access! Red Rangers unite! Forever Red: The Toonami-Era Red Inurangers Team-Up (2006) Inuyasha, the original Red Inuranger, has assembled his fellow Red Inurangers for a mission: to stop Chokyukai, Suzaku, Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryu from resurrecting Serpenterra. Ippo the Red Wild Force Inuranger and newcomer to the mission is overwhelmed by the presence of previous Red Inurangers who have also fought bravely to save the world, with some of them being leaders of their respective teams. There is going to be a lot of high-octane action and excitement when the eleven Toonami-Era Red Inurangers join forces and protect the world from the clutches of the Demon Beast Empire.

Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything from the early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. I have never been this excited to cover the Toonami-Era Inuranger team-ups during the Post-Zordon era because this has been in the back of my mind for a long time. Ever since I straightened out my Toonami-Era Inurangers teams to the lineups I was satisfied with, I felt more motivated to make the team-ups come to fruition. Now that I touched upon the Zordon-Era/Toonami-Era Inurangers team-ups, it is time for me to have a go at the Post-Zordon-Era/Toonami-Era Inurangers team-ups from the Inurangers Lost Galaxy version of “To the Tenth Power” to the Inurangers Wild Force version of “Reinforcements from the Future Parts 1 and 2.” Before you ask, what about the Toonami-Era Inurangers version of “Forever Red”? What about that lineup? That will be a separate entry because I would love to go more in-depth with it. Furthermore, I have an interesting arrangement with my Toonami-Era Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” I also want to make this disclaimer, especially for Inurangers Lost Galaxy. For those of you who have been reading the Toonami-Era Inurangers team line-ups, you might have recognized that there are already seven Galaxy Rangers, specifically where there are two Pink Rangers. If Power Rangers Turbo could get away with two Blue Rangers and Power Rangers Time Force could get away with two, technically three, Red Rangers, I see no reason why Power Rangers Lost Galaxy could not get away with two Pink Rangers. This is true when Kendrix and Karone both don their Pink Galaxy Ranger garbs. Fortunately, both Megumi Minami and Maya Orihara, who are the Inurangers Lost Galaxy versions of Kendrix Morgan and Karone respectively, can coexist as two different Pink Galaxy Rangers. Megumi is the Pink Galaxy Heavenly Seraph Ranger complete with wings on her back and heels like a combination of Hermes and a seraph. If Kendrix had managed to maintain her Galaxy powers in the afterlife, she would have ended up in that Ranger suit, which would have increased her overall power of heavenly light. Her costume design rich in celestial symbolism serves as a counterbalance to the earthier, more bull-like design of the Magna Defender. On the other hand, Maya retains her regular Pink Galaxy Ranger suit from the beginning, as her tenure as Dark Witch Maya is over by the end of Inurangers in Space. Therefore, Maya’s current tenure as the Pink Galaxy Ranger is her penance from the beginning until the end after her time as Dark Witch Maya and being especially redeemed by Mika the Red Space Inuranger. I hope this manages to clear the air without giving way too much away. Let us not waste any time, and get these Post-Zordon-Era, let alone the remainder of the Toonami-Era, Inuranger team-ups cracking. Go galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Titanium Power! Time for Time Force! Quantum Power! Wild Access! Inurangers Lost Galaxy: “To the Fourteenth Power” The Space/Galaxy Inurangers Team-Up (2003) The seven Psycho Inurangers consisting of Rizelle from Chrono Crusade as Psycho Red, Kouga from Inuyasha as Psycho Green, Hiten from Inuyasha as Psycho Silver, Bankotsu from Inuyasha as Psycho Black, Lyra from Fullmetal Alchemist as Psycho Blue, Shader from Chrono Crusade as Psycho Yellow, and Ryomo Shimei from Ikki Tousen as Psycho Pink strike again. Maya’s initial creations during her time as Dark Witch Maya are resurrected by Sousuke Aizen from Bleach, the Inurangers version of Deviot. She is horrified to know that the Psycho Inurangers have been resurrected and does her part to stop them, just as Ryoma and Mika try to destroy Rizelle. Even Ryomo does her part in taunting Maya for her errors. Just as the seven Psycho Inurangers are about to decimate the seven Galaxy Inurangers, the seven Space Inurangers join in the battle. In this version, even Mitsuhide and Tsume participate to make this team-up amount to fourteen space-themed Inurangers. Ryoma Sakamoto from Shura no Toki the 21-year-old Red Galaxy Ranger version of Leo Corbett voiced by Marc Diraison Mika Seido from Geneshaft the 19-year-old Red Space Ranger version of Andros voiced by Amanda Winn Lee Shinosuke from Inuyasha the 22-year-old Black Galaxy Magna Defender Ranger version of Mike Corbett voiced by Trevor Devall Mitsuhide Kuroda from Shootfighter Tekken the 22-year-old Silver Space Ranger version of Zhane voiced by Crispin Freemaniced by Tom Wayland Tsume from Wolf’s Rain the 21-year-old Silver Space Ranger version of Zhane voiced by Crispin Freeman Masaru Aoki from Hajime no Ippo the 21-year-old Blue Galaxy Ranger version of Kai Chen voiced by Stephen Apostollina Tatsuya Kimura from Hajime no Ippo the 21-year-old Black Space Ranger version of Carlos Vallerte voiced by Grant George Akemi Takaishi from Shootfighter Tekken the 17-year-old Green Galaxy Ranger version of Damon Henderson voiced by Rachael Lillis Takako Kawashima from Shootfighter Tekken the 18-year-old Blue Space Ranger version of Theodore Jay “TJ” Jarvis Johnson voiced by Michele Knotz Rose Anderson from Solty Rei the 16-year-old Yellow Galaxy Ranger version of Maya voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard Winry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist the 15-year-old Yellow Space Ranger version of Ashley Hammond voiced by Caitlin Glass Megumi Minami from Detective School Q the 14-year-old Pink Galaxy Heavenly Seraph Ranger version of Kendrix Morgan voiced by Hilary Haag Maya Orihara from Ultra Maniac the 14-year-old Pink Galaxy Ranger version of Karone voiced by Philece Sampler Solty Revant from Solty Rei the 14-year-old Pink Space Ranger version of Cassie Chan voiced by Carrie Savage Inurangers Lost Galaxy: “The Power of Pink” The Space/Galaxy Inurangers Team-Up (2003) Rizelle, Kouga, Hiten, Bankotsu, Lyra, and Shader may have been defeated, but Ryomo is not down for the count yet.

Megumi uses her Quasar Saber to destroy it but at a cost. She transcends…
Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. High off the recent joy of my thoroughly improved version of the Toonami-Era Inurangers teams, I have finally come to do what I have always wanted to accomplish. I am talking about the Toonami-Era Inurangers team-ups. Because all of the Inurangers teams have seven main rangers, the team-ups shall be divided accordingly, as I can only fit in team-ups consisting of fourteen. Much like the real-life Saban-Era Power Rangers series, the team-ups here shall be divided into the Zordon-Era ranger team-ups and the Post-Zordon-Era ranger team-ups. Therefore, I will commence with the Mighty Morphin Inurangers/Cloaked Pilot team-up and end with the Inurangers in Space version of the two-part “Countdown to Destruction.” In terms of the ranger line-up, it is the usual arrangement of the Red Ranger, the Sixth Ranger, the Seventh Ranger, the Black/Blue Ranger, the Blue/Green Ranger, the Yellow Ranger, and the Pink Ranger. However, the first team-up has the special introduction of a certain Cloaked Pilot added into the mix. Without further ado, it’s morphin’ time! Shift into turbo! Let’s rocket! Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 3: A Friend in Need Parts 1 to 3 (2000) The first team-up sees the main seven Mighty Morphin Inurangers consisting of Inuyasha, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran being assigned to the Milky Way, as it is under attack by the Inurangers’ universe’s version of Lord Dregon, Admiral Gunter Prozen and Hiltz. This is the team-up where they encounter Prince Rudolph Zeppelin III and help him fight against Prozen, Hiltz, and their cronies. Unlike the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 first set of three-part episodes where Kimberly gets the flu, Shunran does not get sick with the flu and joins her fellow Inurangers all while coming back to earth to do battle with the monster of the day. Furthermore, Prince Rudolph has a superhero alter-ego called the Cloaked Pilot, which is the Inurangers’ universe’s version of the Masked Rider. Inuyasha from Inuyasha the 18-year-old Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott and Tommy Oliver voiced by Richard Ian Cox Shuran from Inuyasha the 18-year-old Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver and Rocky DeSantos voiced by Scott Logie Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the 19-year-old White Tigerzord Ranger version of David Trueheart and Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Hakkaku from Inuyasha the 17-year-old Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor and Adam Park voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the 17-year-old Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston and Adam Park voiced by Paul Dobson Ayame from Inuyasha the 15-year-old Yellow Sabertoothed Tiger Ranger version of Trini Kwan and Aisha Campbell voiced by Natalie Walters Shunran from Inuyasha the 14-year-old Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart and Katherine Hillard voiced by Jocelyne Loewen Prince Rudolph Zeppelin III the 11-year-old Cloaked Pilot version of Prince Dex of Edenoi aka The Masked Rider voiced by Elinor Holt The Entirety of Mighty Ronin Inurangers (2001) This is the ten-episode Mighty Ronin Inurangers saga after Urasue and Naraku turn Inuyasha, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran into children. As the seven Yokai warriors with attitude cannot morph into their Inuranger suits, a new set of Inurangers come to fight evil in their stead. They are the Ronin Inurangers from the planet Mithril. Some select episodes also have the young Inuyasha maintain his leadership role as the Ronin Inurangers are fighting monsters and protecting civilians as well as assuring his teammates of their next journey. While the Ronin Inurangers of Mithril fight against Urasue’s and Naraku’s demons and monsters, the Mighty Morphin Inuranger Kids search for the Zeo Crystals as well as new friends to become a new set of Inurangers.

Unlike Zeo, where the Mighty Morphin cast plus Tanya Sloan continue being involved, the Mighty Morphin Inurangers and Zeo Inurangers are completely different people. This gets to the point where the Mighty Morphin Inuranger Kids and the Inuranger Zeo Kids turn back into teenagers and young adults, thanks to using the regenerator powered by the Mighty Morphin Inurangers’ power coins and Zeo Crystals. After that, they have their…
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.

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. My beloved seven-person anime martial arts teams who have also been Dudley’s and Daisy’s as well as their seven children’s martial arts trainers have struck again. There is no doubt that Dudley, Daisy, and their pups have been very happy and blessed to have these seven-person anime martial arts teams as their instructors. This is because these anime martial artists are individuals first which is the same story said about their fighting video game counterparts. The fourteen anime martial arts teams are not only going to be organized by their respective martial arts but also from oldest to youngest according to their birth years and their ages. I am using the ages they currently are after their shows aired on television. I want to remind you that the characters featured here are from anime series that aired between 1998 and 2009, especially considering that my anime-watching days on Animax during my time in Cebu, Philippines, and Adult Swim during my time in the United States reached an all-time high when I was a 12-year-old sixth grader in 2004. With that said, let us get acquainted with when these anime martial artists were born and express our collective joy about their ever-flourishing tenure as combatants and as people. Some of them are based on canon birthdays, while others are partially based on my own personal headcanon. Osu! Hajime!

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. If you know me, based on the title, there are four things I am most passionate about. One is the number seven because it is the number of high fortunes, wealth, prosperity, abundance, sanctity, hope, and faith. Two is anything divisible by seven, and my first passion should be indicative, especially for those of you who have been paying attention in your mathematics classes when you were very young. Three is anime because of the variety found in the choice, interesting storylines, and the cool factor some of the shows possessed. Four is martial arts tournaments because it is enjoyable to see fighters using various combat styles duking it out in the arena and having it soaked in blood and guts. Combine my four passions in life and you get fourteen team-ups consisting of seven anime characters and the martial arts they specialize in. My philosophy revolving around my seven-anime character martial arts teams may affirm the importance of discipline, camaraderie, self-confidence, respect, cooperation, balance, and self-defense. Those attributes are exceptional and should be implemented as habits. However, I also argue that nothing should be held back when launching a series of brutal attacks against various opponents. Those supposedly squeaky-clean characters from the early to mid-2000s Disney Channel sitcoms and cartoons can get their insipid pansy behinds to bail out and get lost, for these fourteen septets of anime martial artists are in the house to tear some butt while looking great in doing so. Therefore, no opponent is safe. Think of this entry as a more organized line-up of the fourteen seven-anime character martial artists featured in the previous entries. Some team-ups are the same, while others are a little more switched up for credibility’s sake. As always, the characters featured will be from anime that I watched on Animax, Adult Swim, Hero TV, and even on the internet, with the ones featured from Inuyasha, Baki the Grappler, Shura no Toki, Shootfighter Tekken, Hajime no Ippo, Fullmetal Alchemist, Solty Rei, Ultra Maniac, Wolf’s Rain, Texhnolyze, Geneshaft, Chrono Crusade, Samurai 7, Kiddy Grade, Hungry Heart, Full Metal Panic, GetBackers, and Cardcaptor Sakura. Let’s get ready to rumble. Osu! Hajime! The Splendid Seven (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran) When these seven powerful Yokai martial artists take center stage, their opponents would want to either head for the hills to save their skins or try their luck in overcoming them. This is thanks to the combined forces of two dog Yokai brothers, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, three spiky-haired brothers, Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and two auburn-haired sisters, Ayame and Shunran, and their brutal moves. Sesshoumaru’s ground and pounds, Shuran’s piledrivers, Inuyasha’s tracheal grip chokes, Hakkaku’s elbow strikes, Ginta’s flying knees, Ayame’s uppercuts, and Shunran’s nerve strikes make them unstoppable as a mighty team. Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha) – Mixed Martial Arts Shuran (Inuyasha) – Professional Wrestling Inuyasha (Inuyasha) – Pankration Hakkaku (Inuyasha) – Muay Boran Ginta (Inuyasha) – Lethwei Ayame (Inuyasha) – Kyuk Too Ki Shunran (Inuyasha) – Shaolin Kung Fu The Radioactive Rebels (Shido, Ban, Ginji, Kyuzo, Heihachi, Satella, and Akemi) No natural disaster can equal the damage that Shido Fuyuki, Ban Mido, Ginji Amano, Kyuzo, Heihachi Hayashida, Satella Harvenheit, and Akemi Takaishi can accomplish. When combining Shido’s guillotine chokes, Ban’s arm triangles, Ginji’s leg wheels, Kyuzo’s check kicks, Heihachi’s spinning back kicks, Satella’s ox jaw strikes, and Akemi’s palm strikes, opponents are in for an exciting thrill ride full of spins, rolls, and drops as if they boarded an intense roller coaster ride to oblivion. Where these seven lethal combatants are going to take their opponents is far from bright and breezy, as it will be full of destructive turbulence. Shido Fuyuki (GetBackers) – Japanese Jujitsu Ban Mido (GetBackers) – Brazilian Jujitsu Ginji Amano (GetBackers) – Judo Kyuzo (Samurai 7) – Kajukenbo Heihachi Hayashida (Samurai 7) – Qwan Ki Do Satella Harvenheit (Chrono Crusade) – Nippon Kenpo Akemi Takaishi (Shootfighter Tekken) – Shorinji Kenpo The Quicksilver Quantums (Masaru, Tatsuya, Ryuichi, Mario, Hiroto, Sakurako, and Kuniko) There is nothing more fulfilling, let alone more purposeful, than ensuring that a true martial artist combines brute force, military precision, quick self-defense, and benevolent character and turn these attributes into a unit. Fortunately for Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura, Ryuichi Hayami, Mario Musicanova, Hiroto Amagiwa, Sakurako Yukihira, and Kuniko Touya, they are living proof that they have what it takes to live like true martial artists and more. Masaru’s haymakers, Tatsuya’s hooks, Ryuichi’s jabs, Mario’s armbars, Hiroto’s leglocks, Sakurako’s roundhouse kicks, and Kuniko’s double flying kicks can easily incapacitate their opponents. Masaru Aoki (Hajime no Ippo) – Kamogawa Mixed Martial Boxing Tatsuya Kimura (Hajime no Ippo) – Kamogawa Mixed Martial Boxing Ryuichi Hayami (Hajime no Ippo) – Otowa Mixed Martial Boxing Mario Musicanova (Geneshaft) – Luta Livre Hiroto Amagiwa (Geneshaft) – Pancrase Sakurako Yukihira (Detective School Q) – Musti-yuddha Kuniko Touya (Detective School Q) – Adithada The War Emperors (Yoshiki, Mamoru, Kuranosuke, Tsume, Kisuke, Mitsuhide, and Shinosuke) Virile power and heavyweight muscularity are the best lexical descriptions that encapsulate Yoshiki Takaishi, Mamoru Takamura, Kuranosuke Takeda, Tsume, Kisuke, Mitsuhide Kuroda, and Shinosuke. Each of these tall, mighty, powerfully built gentlemen is capable of making their opponents submit regardless of brute strength and/or unparalleled skill, with the arena cheering them on. Yoshiki’s bearhugs, Mamoru’s liver punches, Kuranosuke’s rear naked chokeholds, Tsume’s fireman’s carries, Kisuke’s double leg takedowns, Mitsuhide’s underhooks, and Shinosuke’s overhooks can reduce mighty giants into mere mortals. Yoshiki Takaishi (Shootfighter Tekken) – Kapu Kuialua Mamoru Takamura (Hajime no Ippo) – Kamogawa Mixed Martial Boxing Kuranosuke Takeda (Inuyasha) – Shoot Wrestling Tsume (Wolf’s Rain) – Vale Tudo Kisuke (Inuyasha) – Shootfighting Mitsuhide Kuroda (Shootfighter Tekken) – Combat Sambo Shinosuke (Inuyasha) – Shoot Boxing The Kings of Formidable Fists (Baki, Ryoma, Takeshi, Kiibo, Alexander, Ichiro, and Ippo) Boxing or Mixed Martial…
This Battle Couple Meme originally belongs to JasonPictures and is dedicated to all the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the world. Sit back, relax, and revel in the epic awesomeness that Inuyasha’s super muscular strength and Ayame’s mega-furious limbs have to offer as a mighty battle couple ready to demolish their opponents. I have always heard fans of certain canon pairings for Inuyasha crying over the clamor that he never has feelings for Ayame, Ayame only has feelings for a certain loser wolf Yokai warrior who was all talk but no action, and they barely know each other in the show. I have this to say. Hold your tongues and get out of my lecture hall because I play by my rules, I have my AU headcanon to enjoy, and no fantard, no canon Nazi, no self-loathing Alpha Male wannabe, and no idiot whiner is going to change that. I have been dealing with this rubbish of fun-sucking canon Nazis and self-loathing losers who are devotees of the canon pairings Inuyasha and Ayame had for what seems like forever, and I remain unfazed by them because they should know where the door to the exit sign is. Nevertheless, I still want to have a good time with my most beloved OTP of all time, InuAya, for I have been cultivating fun and exciting ideas for this power couple. For those of you who can maintain an open mind and are not fun-sucking canon Nazis as certain people have been, please stay here as much as you can and listen as best as you can. To say that I have made it no secret that I am an InuAya devotee is a mere understatement. I adulate and love my OTP for life because of the possibilities Inuyasha and Ayame have to thrive as a mightily powerful battle couple extraordinaire who can thrash bigger, stronger, fiercer opponents with everything they got. Inuyasha’s sheer brutality in his super strength, magnificent muscle power, and beastly brawn are perfect complements to Ayame’s stealthy combat prowess in her furious fists, fleet feet, and quicksilver speed. My AU headcanon has made it abundantly clear that Inuyasha is the right man for the job to be both Ayame’s husband as well as a strong leader and warrior for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Yoro or wolf demon tribes. Unlike a certain insignificant wolf turd who was all machismo and no moxie, Inuyasha would be the super strong and magnificently muscular Alpha Male that he is made to be for Ayame. Moreover, unlike a certain shrew who controls with an accursed shock collar, Ayame would be respectful to her husband and fierce for herself. Inuyasha and Ayame are truly unbreakable forces. For those of you who are new to what my AU headcanon revolving around Inuyasha and Ayame is about here it goes. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s loving relationships commenced in their infancy, with the newborn Ayame playing with 3-year-old Inuyasha while The Wolf Elder, Toga the Dog General, and InuKimi adored how happy the two of them were when playing with each other. Even 4-year-old Sesshoumaru thought that Inuyasha and Ayame were adorable together, which was a sign of things to come, given that The Wolf Elder, Toga, and InuKimi thought it was great for Inuyasha and Ayame to be betrothed. Four years later, 7-year-old Inuyasha saved 4-year-old Ayame from the Birds of Paradise’s attacks by punching, grappling, kicking, biting, and clawing at them, thus making little Ayame overjoyed to have her future husband save her. This even motivated young Inuyasha to live with Ayame’s tribe, be raised by her grandfather, and be trained by the warriors of the Wolf Yokai warrior tribes. For one still very young such as Inuyasha, he grew stronger and fiercer when he trained with Ayame’s grandfather and his warriors. Time passed on. Inuyasha grew from a rowdy young boy of 8 years old to a handsomely tall youth of 11 years old who was starting to develop in muscle as well as fully embracing his full Alpha Male dog Yokai warrior blood and instincts, thanks to all the intense training he underwent with the wolf Yokai warriors and the visiting Greek Pankratiasts, wrestlers, and boxers who were twice as massive as the wolf Yokai warriors and young Inuyasha combined. Inuyasha was not afraid to land some severe blows, takedowns, grapples, and submission holds because he showed grit and determination as a warrior. As for Ayame, she grew from an inquisitive young girl of 5 years old to a lovely yet fierce young lady of 8 years old who was becoming quicker, stronger, and stealthier with her punches, kicks, and strikes, thanks to how she also went through the same amount of training Inuyasha endured and fighting against Korea’s and Thailand’s best boxers, Muay Thai practitioners, Taekwondo fighters, and Hapkido warriors, thus being just as confident and determined as her future husband was. Inuyasha and Ayame definitely grew in strength. By the time Inuyasha was 12 and Ayame was 9, they were engaged, and their inseparability was further solidified. Ayame always knew in her heart no other boy or young man could ever be equaled to Inuyasha because of his physical strength and undying loyalty. Inuyasha always made it his duty to fight by Ayame’s side and be the strong, protective fiancé he ought to be. One spring day, Inuyasha asked Ayame if she wanted to marry him, to which Ayame said a hugely resounding yes and kissed him as joyously as possible. The Wolf Elder blessed 12-year-old Inuyasha’s and 9-year-old Ayame’s wedding with fortitude, courage, and perseverance as well as a powerful family. Additionally, Ayame, despite being really young, wanted to have a family with Inuyasha, to which he also said yes. Inuyasha turned 13 and Ayame turned 10 and ended up going through their respective rites of passage. 13-year-old Inuyasha attained the legendary Goraishi, while 10-year-old Ayame took on the Birds of Paradise to obtain…
This piece of Ayame fanart, which is my fifteenth submission for this year’s 30 Days of InuAya Month last April, is dedicated to all of the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame shippers worldwide as well as all the Ayame fans of the world. Sit back, relax, and soak in Ayame’s unbridled formidability as one of the most brutal Kyuk Too Ki or Korean Kickboxing fighters that the world has ever seen. Making her entrance into the kickboxing ring clad in a red tank top, red shorts, red boxing gloves, and red leg guards is Ayame. Ayame’s all-red attire is the result of Inuyasha giving her his legendary Robe of the Fire Rat to her as an engagement gift when they were very young children. 8-year-old Ayame was so touched by 11-year-old Inuyasha’s engagement gift that she kissed him so hard on his cheek that he became as red as a tomato. A year later, at just nine years old, she was even introduced to several combatants from North Korea, South Korea, Thailand, and the Netherlands who made her ingrained in the world of Taekwondo, Hapkido, Muay Korat, Muay Chaiya, Muay Lopburi, Muay Thasao, and Dutch Kickboxing. These were the same styles that she adapted to her combat repertoire through her intense training with Chun-Li, Cammy White, Sakura Kasugano, Blair Dame, Hokuto, Nina Williams, and Jun Kazama. Even as 10-year-old Ayame was already happily married to 13-year-old Inuyasha and had their first set of children together in the form of triplet sons, she continued to thrive as a kickboxer and as a person. Every punch, kick, elbow strike, knee strike, shin kick, clinch, and takedown Ayame committed herself to against stronger, more skilled, and more humongous opponents, she became a more formidable force inside and outside the ring. Ayame always has her dearest husband Inuyasha to thank not for only the martial arts attire made of his Robe of the Fire Rat which he wore as a child, as well as the demon ox hide used for her boxing gloves, but also for being her greatest encourager and for being one of the strongest sparring partners she has ever fought against. Therefore, she can attest that Inuyasha is the most loyal, most dedicated, most lovable, and most virile husband Ayame could ever ask for. It also says something that Ayame always looks very good in red, which she always has Inuyasha to be eternally thankful for. With that said, let us be reacquainted with this fearlessly formidable wolf yokai Kyuk Too Ki prizefighter as part of my individual InuAya martial arts family profiles.
