Hello, everybody. Antoni here. Ever since I have been binge-watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Inuyasha (specifically Episodes 75, 76, 77, 83, 84, 99, and 102), Texhnolyze, Wolf’s Rain, YuYu Hakusho, and many other anime series as well as Power Rangers instalments I could name off the top of my head, I have been thinking what would happen if I combined Power Rangers with my favourite anime series. I would get Inurangers because this is an amalgamation of Inuyasha and Power Rangers, especially when it kicks off with seven of my most favourite Inuyasha characters of all time who go under the group name of The Splendid Seven. Unlike most of the original Power Ranger instalments where there would be a total of five to six members, each of the Inurangers instalments would consist of seven members at the least to a whopping eleven members in total, especially when the seven main Power Rangers colours–red, green, white, black, blue, yellow, and pink–are involved. Therefore, this is the result of what would happen if Inurangers were a union project and based their footage on both Zyuranger and Dairanger yet use their own original footage. What better way to kick this off with the first team-up of 2000’s Mighty Morphin Inurangers. No worries, Zordon fans, Zordon is going to remain as the Inurangers’ commissioner alongside Alpha 5. Seeing that Inuyasha the anime started in 2000 in real time, I figured that the Inurangers franchise would commence the same year as well. As for which network would air this show, instead of Fox Kids, Mighty Morphin Inurangers would end up airing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. I hope you enjoy the Mighty Morphin Inuranger team-ups from Seasons 1 to 3 as well as the Mighty Morphin Makai Ranger team-up I have in store for you all. Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 1 (2000–2001) The series that started it all with that iconic theme song only if you replace “Go go Power Rangers” with “Go go Inurangers”. This is also the series that introduced the seven teenage Yokai warriors with attitude consisting of two dog Yokai warrior brothers Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, their three adoptive brothers male panther Yokai warrior Shuran as well male wolf Yokai warriors Hakkaku and Ginta, Sesshoumaru’s sister-in-law and Inuyasha’s wife female wolf Yokai warrior Ayame, and Shuran’s and Hakkaku’s sister-in-law, Ginta’s wife, and Ayame’s younger adoptive sister female panther Yokai warrior Shunran. Instead of Tommy’s tenure as the Green Ranger debuting in Season 1 Episode 17 as well as his tenure as the White Ranger debuting in Season 2 Episode 17, the White Tigerzord and the Green Dragonzord Rangers already coexist in this very season, especially since the very first episode, and last throughout not only MMIR Season 1 but also throughout Seasons 2 and 3. This means there are already seven Power Coins intended for the seven Yokai warriors. The original members are as follows. Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Inuranger, the bold and powerful 18-year-old leader of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Jason Lee Scott who commands the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord. (Japanese Voice Actor: Kappei Yamaguchi/English Voice Actor: Richard Ian Cox). Shuran the Green Dragonzord Inuranger, the mighty and strong 18-year-old second-in-command of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Tom Oliver or Tommy Oliver’s tenure as the Green Ranger who commands the Dragonzord (Japanese Voice Actor: Masaya Takatsuka/English Voice Actor: Scott Logie). Sesshoumaru the White Tigerzord Inuranger, the fierce and determined 19-year-old co-leader of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Tommy Oliver, especially during his tenure as the White Ranger, who commands the Tigerzord (Japanese Voice Actor: Ken Narita/English Voice Actor: David Kaye). Hakkaku the Black Mastodon Inuranger, the clever and brave 17-year-old funnyman of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Zack Taylor who commands the Mastodon Dinozord (Japanese Voice Actor: Daisuke Kishio/English Voice Actor: Alistair Abell). Ginta the Blue Triceratops Inuranger, the patient and wise 17-year-old charmer of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Billy Cranston who commands the Triceratops Dinozord (Japanese Voice Actor: Hiroyuki Yoshino/English Voice Actor: Paul Dobson). Ayame the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Tiger Inuranger, the 15-year-old fearless and agile fighter of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and the Inuranger version of Trini Kwan who commands the Sabre-Toothed Tiger Dinozord (Japanese Voice Actress: Yumi Kakazu/English Voice Actress: Natalie Walters). Shunran the Pink Pterodactyl Inuranger, the 13-year-old graceful and smart genius gymnast of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, and Inuranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart who commands the Pterodactyl Dinozord (Japanese Voice Actress: Yuki Masuda/English Voice Actress: Jocelyne Loewen). There would be no doubt that the biggest highlight would be having the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, especially Inuyasha as the Red Ranger, shout out “It’s Morphin’ Time!”, thus leading to the Morphin Time roll calls before they transform into the Inurangers. Imagine hearing Ken Narita, Masaya Takatsuka, Daisuke Kishio, Yuki Masuda, Hiroyuki Yoshino, Yumi Kakazu, and Kappei Yamaguchi on the Japanese track and/or David Kaye, Scott Logie, Alistair Abell, Jocelyne Loewen, Paul Dobson, Natalie Walters, and Richard Ian Cox on the English track emitting the Morphin Time roll calls. Let us also not forget about the Putty fights, the MMIR version of the Power Cannon or the Inu Cannon that combines Inuyasha’s Inu Sword that is more like Tessaiga, Ayame’s Inu Daggers, Ginta’s Inu Lance, Shunran’s Inu Bow, Hakkaku’s Inu Axe, Shuran’s Inu Dragon Dagger, and Sesshoumaru’s Inu Saba Sword that acts more like Tenseiga, and even combining all seven of their Zords to create the Megazord. That would be great nostalgia incarnate combined with all of the kick-butt action and fun. Even more fun would be Princess Kaguya headlining the villains as the Inurangers’ version of Rita Repulsa and Kotatsu being the Inurangers’ version of Finster who creates the Putty Patrol and various monsters that the Inurangers have to fight against. Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 2 (2001–2002) The original seven Inurangers are still going to be intact. As opposed to what happened to Austin…
AU
Greetings, all ye wonderful fans of Conan the Adventurer, X-Men 1992, Inuyasha, Baki the Grappler, Shootfighter Tekken, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ultra Maniac, it is I your dear friend Antoni with another written entry. This has been on the back of my mind for quite some time and I have been playing around with this too. I know some of you are going to find this rather crazy but I always asked myself this question. What would happen if Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo were raised by Conan and Zula to be their sons? Moreover, what would happen if Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya were raised by Arkon and Ka-Zar to be their daughters? One would get two sets of really epic families and so many excitingly badass moments would occur when these two sets of families are together. In my AU there are two sets of gloriously muscular, tough, rough, big, and strong gay couples in the forms of Conan and Zula being the fathers of Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo and Arkon and Ka-Zar being the fathers of Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya. Conan and Zula would be the strong, handsome, tough, rough, warlike gay bodybuilder couple who are the fathers of their barbarian bodybuilder sons Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo. Arkon and Ka-Zar would also be the strong, tough, rough, handsome, warlike gay bodybuilder couple who are the fathers of their athletic amazon daughters Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya. As one can tell, the OTPs of my AU with these characters are the following: Conan x Zula Arkon x Ka-Zar Inuyasha x Ayame Baki x Rosé Hakkaku x Karan Ginta x Shunran Kiichi “Kiibo” x Winry Ippo x Maya With that said, let us delve into who these fathers, their children, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are. The Big, Strong, Tough, Rough, Muscle Dads of the Bodybuilder Barbarians Conan of Cimmeria Age: 58 Birthday: March 2, 1961 Status: Married to Zula since 1982 Mini Bio: Conan is the main patriarch of his household. As a father, he is authoritative, strict, competitive, and shows a lot of tough love to his sons even when they end up being married and having children of their own. He considers Inuyasha and Baki his most favorite sons because they are not only the eldest two but they are also his best fighters and his most favorite people to work out with. He also loves Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo for being gracious and funny. Being a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, weightlifter, and fitness expert himself, he makes sure that his sons’, grandchildren’s, and great-grandchildren’s bodies, minds, and spirits are filled with enough discipline, strength, and toughness to beat out any opponent. Even in his old age, he has enough super strength to make his foes cower at his presence. Zula of the Wasai Tribe Age: 58 Birthday: September 3, 1961 Status: Married to Conan since 1982 Mini Bio: Zula is the second patriarch of Conan’s household. To balance Conan’s strictness and authority, he shows compassion, kindness, and nurture to all of his six sons, his daughters-in-law, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and his husband Conan. As much as he is extremely close and loving to his eldest sons, Inuyasha and Baki, he is especially fond of Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo for being energetic, tough, and lovable. Much like his husband, Zula is also a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, weightlifter, and fitness expert. He is even a hunter and an environmentalist who ensures that his progeny stay as fit as they are and respect nature and everything it represents. He and Conan even taught all of his six sons to roar like lions, tigers, and leopards when they are in a fight. Even in his old age, Zula not only has enough super strength to endure the rest of his life but also heaps of vitality. The Big, Strong, Warlike, Brave Muscle Dads of the Athletic Amazons Arkon Age: 57 Birthday: January 3, 1962 Status: Married to Ka-Zar since 1985 Mini Bio: Arkon is the main patriarch of his household complete with his loving husband and beautiful daughters. As a father, Arkon is authoritative, tough, commanding, and surprisingly compassionate to his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He considers Ayame and Rosé to be his most favorite daughters because of their athleticism, strength, and great combat prowess, though he also loves Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya because of how much affection and love they give to him. Arkon is a bodybuilder, wrestler, martial artist, boxer, combat strategist, and weightlifter who makes sure that his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are well-disciplined, strong, and sturdy combatants who will show a lot of endurance in everything they do. Though he is approaching 60, Arkon has enough strength, vitality, and toughness to give any opponent a good reason to run from him. Ka-Zar Age: 57 Birthday: March 1, 1962 Status: Married to Arkon since 1985 Mini Bio: Ka-Zar is the second patriarch and he is so grateful to have a noble, handsome husband like Arkon and six beautiful daughters like Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya in his life. To balance Arkon’s authoritative nature, he displays compassion, nurture, lovability, and kindness to all of his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Although he unconditionally loves Ayame and Rosé as his daughters, he considers Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya his most favorite daughters because of how hilarious, energetic, compassionate, affectionate, and feisty they can be. Ka-Zar is a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, hunter, trapper, fisher, weightlifter, and environmentalist who ensures that he, his husband, his daughters, his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are not only physically fit but also one with nature. He and Arkon even taught Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya how to roar like jaguars, cheetahs, and panthers whenever they go into battle. Ka-Zar still manages to show a lot of super strength, vitality, and great combat prowess, which make him all the more awesome…
