This Two versus One Death Battle meme originally belongs to DarkKomet :iconDarkKomet: and is dedicated to anybody who fancies Sesshoumaru’s and Shuran’s exceptionally platonic relationship as a duo of cousins, comrades, and extremely powerful gold-medal-standard warriors who take no crap from their opponents. This is verified when combining Sesshoumaru’s lethal deadliness and Shuran’s brutish viciousness to thoroughly crush and shatter the blond-haired bodybuilder goon’s attempts at grappling, striking, and throwing submission holds at the two deadly warriors that could make Dana White and Vince McMahon cheer their guts out for them. Sit back, relax, and revel in the carnage. We now approach the fifth match-up of the epic 2004 martial arts tournament at the Wernerstein Mansion atop the Austrian Alps. This time it is 23-year-old Sesshoumaru the Mixed Martial Arts victor and 22-year-old Shuran the Professional Wrestling gold-belt winner versus another one of Ulrich Wernerstein’s bodybuilder goons sporting shoulder-length blond hair and green shorts. The stare-down between two of the most skilled and powerful combatants of The Splendid Seven and the blond-haired bodybuilder goon is filled to the brim with tension that one may need a chainsaw to cut through the tension. Sesshoumaru and Shuran are totally unfazed by the blond-haired bodybuilder goon’s threatening looks just as the blond-haired bodybuilder goon is eager to crush the both of them. Sesshoumaru instructs Shuran to perform his signature bearhugs, Full Nelsons, and torture racks on the goon while he delivers the many other moves that he has in store for the bodybuilder brute. Shuran complies with Sesshoumaru’s request, the blond-haired bodybuilder goon is ready to crush them, and the match begins. The blond-haired bodybuilder goon grabs both Sesshoumaru and Shuran and attempts to body slam them to the ground, maul them with chokeholds, and bearhug the both of them. However, it is too little too late for him to do so because they have a barrage of vicious attacks in store for him. Shuran unleashes a bearhug, a torture rack, and a Full Nelson that lands both of them to the ground, with the blond-haired bodybuilder goon on top. Sesshoumaru charges forward with a sprawl and brawl coupled with a ground and pound all over the blond-haired bodybuilder goon’s face until he bleeds profusely. He even unleashes a barrage of liver punches for good measure. After that, Sesshoumaru and Shuran trade places, with the former taking the blond-haired bodybuilder goon down a trip to a hip throw, a Kimura, and an armbar. While Sesshoumaru keeps the blond-haired bodybuilder goon in his armbar, Shuran runs, leaps through the air, and lands on the blond-haired bodybuilder goon with an earth-shattering body slam. Sesshoumaru releases the goon from his armbar, as Shuran picks him up with a spine-breaking piledriver. Although the blond-haired bodybuilder goon’s body feels like jelly, he tries to subdue Sesshoumaru and Shuran with his remaining strength. However, Sesshoumaru has one more liver punch in store for him, and Shuran picks him up and throws him to the ground. The fifth round is done, as the blond-haired bodybuilder goon lies unconscious. Their friends including Tommy Oliver, Zhane, Merrick Baliton, Trey of Triforia, Jason Lee Scott, Mike Corbett, and Ryan Mitchell plus their martial arts mentors such as Heihachi Mishima, T. Hawk, Charlie Nash, Zangief, E. Honda, Darun, and Ganryuu all cheered joyously for Sesshoumaru’s and Shuran’s triumph over the blond-haired bodybuilder goon. Sesshoumaru’s children Asagi, Dai, Roku, Kai, Shion, Moegi, Rin, Shiori, Kanna, Satsuki, Bunza, Shinta, Souten, and Ai, as well as Shuran’s children Kohaku, Shintaro, Taromaru, Suekichi, Taichi, Mayu, Souta, Satoru, Hitomi, Sayo, Mizuki, Koume, Saki, and Kokichi, cheered for their respective fathers. Sesshoumaru and Shuran raise each other’s arms in victory for the cheering crowd, clasp each other’s hands, and embrace each other. The blond-haired bodybuilder goon remains on the ground wincing in pain and pandemonium, as Sesshoumaru and Shuran tell him to stay down because the ground suits him. He thought he could subdue the two powerful warriors, but they were too strong and too skilled for him to handle. Hence, being at the receiving end of Sesshoumaru’s liver punches, ground and pounds, Kimuras, and armbars plus Shuran’s bearhugs, torture racks, piledrivers, and Full Nelsons is not the blond-haired bodybuilder goon’s idea of fun. Sesshoumaru’s lethal brutality and Shuran’s rampaging stature make them a truly imposing duo of warriors who can crush the competition with all their might. Tune in later for the sixth match-up revolving around the first Splendid Seven romantic pairing in threes against Ulrich Wernerstein and two of his bodybuilder goons. Take care, stay safe, and remember to keep on cheering for Sesshoumaru and Shuran as a duo of imposingly powerful warriors worthy of promotion, everybody. Sesshoumaru and Shuran from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. The blond-haired bodybuilder goon from Totally Spies belongs to Vincent Chalvon-Demersay, David Michel, and Marathon Media.

This Two versus One Death Battle meme originally belongs to DarkKomet and is dedicated to anybody who fancies Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s brotherhood as a duo of super strong, magnificently mighty, and potently powerful warrior champions whose repertoire of grappling, striking, groundwork, and submission holds demonstrates brutal ferocity pumped up to provide the green mohawked bodybuilder goon with a one-way ticket to vicious evisceration. Sit back, relax, and revel in the carnage. We have now come to the third match-up of the epic 2004 martial arts tournament at the Wernerstein Mansion atop the Austrian Alps. Now, we turn our attention to the Kazuya Mishima and Paul Phoenix as well as the Ryu Hoshi and Ken Masters of The Splendid Seven. I am talking about the legendary dog Yokai warrior brothers 23-year-old Sesshoumaru the Mixed Martial Arts victor and 22-year-old Inuyasha the Pankration champion being pitted against another one of Ulrich Wernerstein’s bodybuilder goons sporting a green mohawk and red shorts. The green-mohawked bodybuilder goon may laugh at Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, who are ready to pummel him down in their fighting stances. However, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are not joking and do mean business. Sesshoumaru asks Inuyasha if he is prepared to give the bodybuilder brute a taste of dog Yokai brother power. Inuyasha responds with a hearty and enthusiastic “Oh, yeah!”, as both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha give each other a fist bump. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha charge to the green mohawked bodybuilder goon ready to mercilessly pummel him to the ground. The green mohawked bodybuilder attempted to grab Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and lock them in a bearhug as well as a piledriver. Still, the two silver-haired dog Yokai warrior brothers were too fast and too strong for the huge brute. Inuyasha lands a double axe handle on the green mohawked bodybuilder goon’s head and cheeks and hammer fists on his face, ribs, flanks, and abdomen area. After that, Inuyasha gives the green mohawked bodybuilder goon a leg wheel and hip throw that makes him fall to the ground before he locks him in a rear naked chokehold and full body lock combo. Inuyasha tells Sesshoumaru to do his job, and Sesshoumaru springs up in the air and lands on the green-mohawked bodybuilder goon with a series of ground and pounds using his fists, elbows, double axe handles, and a headbutt. In turn, Sesshoumaru switches places with Inuyasha by giving the green-mohawked bodybuilder goon an armbar. He then tells his brother that he is all his, and Inuyasha proceeds to deliver a brutally bloody array of hammer fists, double axe handles, headbutts, and a tracheal grip choke with both hands. After all that ground and pounding, submission holding, and grappling, the green-mohawked bodybuilder goon arose from his bruises, but it was too late. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha delivered a double Superman punch, liver punch, rabbit punch, hammer fist, and headbutt combo. Inuyasha finishes it all off with a neck crank, followed by Sesshoumaru with a rear naked chokehold. The third round is finished, as the green-mohawked bodybuilder goon fell down. Their best friends such as Tommy Oliver, Zhane, Merrick Baliton, Eric Myers, Leo Corbett, Alex Drake, and Wes Collins, as well as their martial arts mentors such as Gouken, Akuma, T. Hawk, Kazuya Mishima, Paul Phoenix, Ryu Hoshi, and Ken Masters, cheered with jubilation at the two powerful dog Yokai warrior brothers triumphing against the green mohawk bodybuilder goon. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha even tell him to get accustomed to the ground. The two brothers raise their arms in jubilation, bellowed a loud victory roar, clasped each other’s hands, and hugged each other tightly. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are true loving brotherhood incarnate. The green-mohawked bodybuilder goon has found himself in a world of eviscerating pain when crossing paths with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and their ferociously lethal brand of brutality. These two dog Yokai warrior brothers take no prisoners because they have the submission holds, grapples, fists, muscles, and strength to overcome any opponent, especially if he is an unlucky one in the green-mohawked bodybuilder goon. Stay tuned for the fourth match-up. Take care, stay safe, and remember to keep cheering for Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha as a pair of super strong dog Yokai warrior brothers, everybody. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. The Green Mohawked Bodybuilder Goon from Totally Spies belongs to Vincent Chalvon-Demersay, David Michel, and Marathon Media.
This Three versus One Death Battle meme originally belongs to DarkKomet and is dedicated to anybody who fancies Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s brotherhood as a trio of dynamic combatants who can combine Shuran’s obliterating wrestling moves and both Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s strikes and clinches prepared to give the bald bodybuilder goon huge doses of damage and destruction. Sit back, relax, and revel in the carnage. The second match-up for the Wernerstein Mansion martial arts tournament atop the Austrian Alps revolves around three spiky-haired Yokai brothers known for their dynamic collaborations, 22-year-old Shuran the Professional Wrestling gold-belt winner, 21-year-old Hakkaku the Muay Boran combatant, and 21-year-old Ginta the Lethwei fighter, and one of Ulrich Wernerstein’s bodybuilder goons sporting a bald head and yellow shorts. While Shuran does tower over his two younger brothers, Hakkaku and Ginta, the bald bodybuilder goon towers over Shuran by a few inches. Nevertheless, being the pro wrestler that Shuran is, he always capitalizes on showmanship and orders the audience to cheer for him and his younger brothers, as they thrash the bald bodybuilder goon to shreds. The bald bodybuilder goon grunts back at Shuran, but he, Hakkaku, and Ginta are unfazed by whatever the bald bodybuilder goon has in store. Shuran prepares himself ready to tackle, Hakkaku is ready to clinch, and Ginta is ready to strike just as the bald bodybuilder goon is prepared to crush the three spiky-haired Yokai brothers. The bald bodybuilder goon may attempt to eviscerate Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta with his bearhugs, body slams, power slams, and submission holds, but these three brothers have the moves to thoroughly reduce their opponent to a broken mess. Ginta begins by throwing a series of spinning elbows, elbow thrusts, flying knees, and a downward headbutt. Hakkaku follows up with his series of knee bombs, upward elbow strikes, downward elbow thrusts, and an upward headbutt. Then Shuran grabs the battered bald bodybuilder goon and gives him a bearhug, torture rack, German suplex, and piledriver combo that makes him completely numb. Hakkaku and Ginta assist in getting the bald bodybuilder goon into clinch position, as they proceed to launch a barrage of knee strikes to his face, chest, and abdomen area. Shuran then lifts the bald bodybuilder goon into the air and gives him a torture rack. While Shuran keeps the bald bodybuilder goon in his torture rack, Hakkaku, as well as Ginta, proceeds to shower him with a flurry of elbow strikes, shin kicks, and a huge headbutt all over the bald bodybuilder goon’s body. Shuran then drops the bruised and bloodied bald bodybuilder goon to the ground once Hakkaku and Ginta are done with their eviscerating elbow strikes, shin kicks, and headbutts on him, thus finishing the second overall round. Their best friends including Jason Lee Scott, Mike Corbett, Rocky DeSantos, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Adam Park, and Carlos Vallerte plus their martial arts mentors such as E. Honda, Zangief, Darun, Dhalsim, Sagat, Adon, and Deejay all cheer respectively for Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta for emerging triumphantly against the bald bodybuilder goon. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta approach the still-unconscious bald bodybuilder goon covered in bloodied bruises and sardonically tell him not to take it too personally because he just got his behind handed to him by three brothers who have each other’s backs. The three spiky-haired Yokai brothers wrap it up by high-fiving each other and giving each other the tightest group hug possible, with Shuran loving every bit of appreciation he is giving to his two younger brothers. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta demonstrate that they always have each other. The bald bodybuilder goon might as well spend the next few days under intense care after being pulverized by Shuran the hulking panther Yokai pro wrestler as well as by Hakkaku and Ginta the two energetic wolf Yokai strikers and clinchers. The second match-up has been completed, with a third one coming underway. Trust me, it is going to be thrilling. Take care, stay safe, and never cross paths with three spiky-haired Yokai brothers such as Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta unless you want to be squeezed, clinched, and struck against, everybody. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. The Bald Bodybuilder Goon from Totally Spies belongs to Vincent Chalvon-Demersay, David Michel, and Marathon Media.
This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who entertains the thought of Inuyasha and Raymond being the strongest pair of brothers from other mothers ever. There is also a bit of Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya and Raymond x Alex or Raylex sprinkled in here, considering that I am the biggest partisan of these two OTPs for life. Sit back, relax, and soak in Inuyasha’s and Raymond’s muscularly virile brand of brotherhood rich in big muscles, crushing throws, abundant respect, and super strong allegiance. Take one powerfully ferocious dog Yokai Pankratiast and one handsomely dreamy bodybuilder/gym instructor and you get a friendship that is built on interpersonal strength, brotherly love, abundant encouragement, and oodles of positive vibes brimming between these two very strong men. Inuyasha’s sheer muscular brutality in his grapples, double axe handles, chokeholds, and submission holds as a Pankration fighter is an exceptional complement to Raymond’s chiseled yet imposing muscle mass in his submission holds, takedowns, body slams, body locks, and joint locks as a bodybuilder who also has some surprising Professional Wrestling skills. Inuyasha and Raymond would challenge each other physically and mentally to the point where they grow stronger as warriors and as men. When they are not attempting to beat each other into submission, they do enjoy the finer and simpler things in life such as reveling in each other’s company. Therefore, Inuyasha always gives Raymond loads of encouragement to improve as a fighter, while Raymond always fills Inuyasha’s days with abundant positivity and smiles galore. Inuyasha and Raymond may be of the same age, given that their birth year is 1982 based on when the former’s anime was first released in 2000 and Totally Spies’s third season was released in 2004. However, Inuyasha was born on April 1, while Raymond was born on October 3. They may be six months apart, but Inuyasha acts like the formidable and encouraging big brother to Raymond’s cheery and optimistic younger brother. Furthermore, Inuyasha’s upbringing with Ayame’s grandfather and the wolf Yokai warriors ever since he was 8 years old, marriage to Ayame when he was 12, being a father to fourteen children from ages 13 to 19, and lengthy experience in Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, Judo, Combat Sambo, Vale Tudo, and Kapu Kuialua make him more mature than Raymond’s relatively normal life as an ebony-haired, tan-skinned all-American bodybuilder, gym instructor, and muscle model who is also married to Alex one of WOOHP’s most energetic spies. Therefore, in video game terms, Inuyasha is the Ryu Hoshi and Kazuya Mishima to Raymond’s Ken Masters and Paul Phoenix. Inuyasha’s and Raymond’s brotherhood was firmly established one snowy December 2004 in the Austrian Alps, which was the place where one of The Splendid Seven’s most legendary martial arts tournaments occurred. 23-year-old Sesshoumaru, 22-year-old Shuran 22-year-old Inuyasha 21-year-old Hakkaku, 21-year-old Ginta, 19-year-old Ayame, and 18-year-old Shunran fought against 45-year-old Ulrich Wernerstein and his four hulking bodybuilder goons. 22-year-old Raymond, who was cured of the Bulky Bars’ life-threatening effects, witnessed how Inuyasha’s Pankration skills were put to use, when he threw rear naked chokeholds, tracheal grip chokes, Superman punches, hammer fists, sleeper holds, hip throws, and Full Nelsons at select goons and Wernerstein himself. Raymond was in awe of Inuyasha’s strength, brutality, ferociousness, and fierceness with his attacks against Ulrich’s bodybuilder goons. When the match was done and The Splendid Seven won, Raymond excitedly congratulated Inuyasha to the point where he wanted to learn all of those moves and incorporate them into his regimen as a gym instructor. Inuyasha being the Ryu and Kazuya to Raymond’s Ken and Paul has a lot to do with their personalities, fighting styles, and combat experience. Inuyasha is a hardened, determined, and brutish champion trained by Ancient Greek combatants, Hawaiian warriors, Russian wrestlers, and the wolf Yokai warriors from the North to the South in Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, Kapu Kuialua, Combat Sambo, Judo, and Ssireum who consistently strengthens himself to be the best warrior he can be. Raymond is a charismatic, easy-going, and affable muscleman working as a gym instructor, professional bodybuilder, and muscle model who also has experience in Greco-Roman wrestling, submission wrestling, weightlifting, and strongman competitions and does his best to play fair. While Inuyasha’s combat experience in Pankration is lengthy, considering that he has been fighting professionally since he was 8 years old, Raymond’s is rather limited, and mostly does submission wrestling in his free time. Inuyasha’s warrior determination and Raymond’s charming affability go together in solidifying their brotherhood. Challenging each other physically is what Inuyasha and Raymond would do to their heart’s content. Whether it is weightlifting, bodybuilding, strongman competitions, or sparring in old-fashioned Ancient Greek Pankration, nothing can knock these two musclemen down from achieving higher goals as combatants and as men. Inuyasha always conditions Raymond to see if his huge muscles can withstand his punishing blows by delivering a barrage of punches to his abdomen and liver while Raymond tries not to wince by standing very still with his fists clenched and breath held for as long as possible. In turn, Raymond always checks to see if Inuyasha’s bulging muscles and brutish fighting prowess can be used as counterattacks against his submission holds. For instance, if Raymond holds Inuyasha in a bone-crushing bear hug, Inuyasha would counter Raymond’s bear hug with a head trauma-inducing double axe handle. When they are not trying to maul each other with their radical wrestling moves, they also enjoy comparing each other’s muscle size, having bodybuilding pose-downs, and posing for Men’s Health magazine. When it comes to being the bedrocks for their wives, Inuyasha and Raymond are the experts in doing so. Raymond would find it astounding that Inuyasha and Ayame got engaged, were married, and started a family while they were still very young. Inuyasha would always assure Raymond that Ayame was always the one person who consistently rooted for him even when the chips were down and is…
Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, fighting video game fans, and admirers of all things Super Sentai and Power Rangers. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specializing in the martial arts they do. The Power Rangers fan in me always believes that there is select Power Rangers who are appropriate best friends and sparring partners for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran to fight with, encourage them, and just be the best people they are in their lives as martial artists and as people. Therefore, I have mainly chosen the Saban-Era of Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin to Wild Force to act as The Splendid Seven’s sparring partners, best friends, and encouragers of the martial arts they do. As this has been a passion project of mine for several months, I figure that there are more Power Rangers suitable to be Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ayame’s, and Shunran’s best friends for life aside from their obvious Mighty Morphin counterparts, i.e., Tommy and Jason being Inuyasha’s best brothers for life as well as his main source of inspiration for being the Red Tyrannosaurus Inuranger and leader of his team. Thus, it is time to unleash the power for the rangers to champion every endeavor that The Splendid Seven find themselves in. Without further ado, let’s get started. It’s morphin’ time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s rocket! Go Galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Quantum Power! Wild Access! Sesshoumaru and the Shining Emperors of the Cages (Mixed Martial Arts) Zhane, Merrick Baliton, and Sesshoumaru make a truly formidable trio of mixed martial artists who can strike terror on any paean who dares to challenge them. Unlike the UFC’s predominantly frat-bro, dude-bro mindset, Sesshoumaru and his two best friends who happen to be Silver Power Rangers live in discipline, honor, self-respect, and dignity. There are neither wild parties nor puerile pranks that these gentlemen find themselves doing, for regimented training, physical conditioning, mental meditation, and drinking tea after every sparring match are their rituals. Zhane considers Sesshoumaru to be one of the most valiant warriors to ever dominate the cage and always advises him on how to perform his takedowns more effectively. Merrick is grateful to have Sesshoumaru as his sparring buddy for life because they enjoy delivering deadly attacks, with his signature ground and pounds, sprawl and brawls, armbars, double leg takedowns, ankle locks, knee bars, and Kimuras being weapons of mass destruction. As a disciplined martial artist, Sesshoumaru is happy to have companions such as Zhane and Merrick, for they can find common ground in the things they enjoy most whether in Mixed Martial Arts or simpler moments like drinking tea in their dojo. Shuran and the Brutish Kings of the Rings (Professional Wrestling) Mike Corbett the black-clad Magna Defender and Ryan Mitchell the glowing Titanium Ranger may dwarf in stark comparison to Shuran’s massive size as a pro wrestler, but their coaching styles can motivate him to balance brute strength with tactfulness when making his opponents surrender. Mike and Ryan always encourage Shuran to remain open to every wrestling style, not just the American, British, Mexican, and Japanese styles that they have come to become familiar with, but also with international styles from Mongolia, Turkey, and India to attempt every submission hold, powerslam, bearhug, piledriver, Boston Crab, Full Nelson, and German suplex available. Outside the moves that Shuran practices with Mike and Ryan, they live by the codes of perseverance and being open to every challenge that is dished out to them and avoid any backstage politics usually omnipresent in Professional Wrestling. Mike always sees to it that Shuran does not always act impulsively when launching attacks, while Ryan ensures that Shuran combines technique with brute strength well. Shuran is grateful and happy to have two stout-hearted and valiant fighters like Mike and Ryan as his best friends because they can see beyond his brutishness and see a loyal soul underneath. Inuyasha and the Red Nemean Lions of the Olympic Arenas (Pankration) Inuyasha is one fortunate warrior to have intensely bloody ten-man Pankration sparring sessions with his best brothers forever Eric Myers, Leo Corbett, Tommy Oliver, Jason Lee Scott, Alex Drake, Wes Collins, TJ Johnson, Andros, Carter Grayson and Cole Evans, thus busking in Heracles’s and Theseus’s glory and might. Eric, Leo, Tommy, Jason, Alex, Wes, TJ, Andros, Carter, and Cole constantly champion Inuyasha’s muscular power as a Pankration champion and do everything in their power to encourage him to aim for Olympus. Inuyasha admires Eric’s fortitude, Leo’s strength, Tommy’s fighting prowess, Jason’s toughness, Alex’s military will, Wes’s heroism, TJ’s charisma, Andros’s focus, Carter’s determination, and Cole’s heart. Out of all the ten Red Rangers, Inuyasha is especially close to Eric, Leo, Tommy, Jason, Alex, and Wes because he enjoys his intense workouts with them and the many tracheal grip chokes, rear naked chokes, guillotine chokes, heel hooks, hammer fists, double axe handles, and Superman punches that they can employ on each other. Eric and Leo are just as impressed with Inuyasha’s strength and encourage him to be the strong husband he can be for Ayame, given that Eric and Taylor as well as Leo and Maya are also husband and wife. Hakkaku and the Black and Blue Bruisers of the Palace Grounds (Muay Boran) Black and blue may be the colors of the bruises that Muay Boran fighters receive when dealing with such visceral beatings, but they are also the colors of the attire Hakkaku’s brothers from other mothers wear as Black and Blue Power Rangers. Zack Taylor, Carlos Vallerte, Trey of Triforia, and Danny Delgado as Power Rangers donning black are honored to be as steadfast as a brother to Hakkaku, while Rocky DeSantos, Chad Lee, and Lucas Kendall as Power Rangers donning blue consider their loyalty to Hakkaku as unparalleled as ever. Zack and Rocky revel in Hakkaku’s head, shins, knees, and elbows of steel because of how they can be able to…
A long time ago in the lush city of Miyanomora, where cherry blossoms and red roses bloomed, making the air people breathed sweet and fragrant, there lived three firebender warrior princes named Robin, Kid Flash, and Zuko, and three waterbender healer princesses named Raven, Jinx, and Katara. The three firebender princes were the most courageous combatants Miyanomora had ever seen, with Robin being a fearlessly formidable leader, Kid Flash an athletically agile runner, and Zuko a relentlessly robust fighter. The three waterbender princesses were sagacious mages who have always fought with solidarity and honor for the people of Miyanomora, with Raven being an incredibly intellectual genius, Jinx an elegantly expert sorceress, and Katara a caringly compassionate soul. The three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses had been betrothed to each other ever since the princes were 12 and the princesses were 10, specifically Robin with Raven, Kid Flash with Jinx, and Zuko with Katara, as there was nobody else in Miyanomora let alone the world they would rather be with than their respective betrotheds. With the princes currently 17 and the princesses currently 15, they had proven themselves worthy of each other’s unconditional love and trust. Healthy relationships and marriage prospects aside, the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses united their powers to keep Miyanomora safe from pernicious harm and did what they could to maintain balance. One day, Emperor Iroh, who was Robin’s, Kid Flash’s, and Zuko’s wise and loving father who had raised them all alone ever since their mother sacrificed herself to protect her family from oncoming pillagers, called the three pairs of lovers into the throne room to prepare for their triple weddings. He was happy to see his three sons and his three future daughters-in-law about to be united in conjugal unity, but also had a tinge of concern on his face, as he called them into his throne room. There was no doubt that Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara were pleased to see him, but his joyful expression then changed to a more furrowed one. “My dear sons and my dear future daughters-in-law, I have seen you grow in love, trust, honesty, and grace as the most beautiful couples that I have ever seen. While today would have been your special day to be married, trouble has arrived in Miyanomora. An evil demon named Akumakaijin has set foot to destroy Miyanomora and all its resources by causing toil and turmoil in the villages, temples, streams, and forests. You must unite to stop this demon right now before Miyanomora plunges into eternal drought.” “Father, my brothers, and our fiancées will stop this destruction,” Robin responded. “We will unite all our powers to cease this pillage from occurring,” Raven added. “I have faith in you, and I wish you good luck on your journey.” Emperor Iroh said, as the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses bowed in reverence and dashed out of the throne room. At a nearby lake where people were swimming, Akumakaijin began his reign of terror. He was a hulking demon with bronze horns on his head, crimson skin that was all scaly and rough to the touch, neon green eyes like lasers, spear-like fangs, sword-like claws, and a bellowing roar loud enough to make even a Tyrannosaurus Rex sound like a house cat. He breathed sulfuric acid from his mouth, making the air have a putrid smell and making plant life droop. The people who were swimming earlier scampered away from this terrible demon in panic and distress. Meanwhile, Robin spotted Akumakaijin causing chaos at the lake, and he along with Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara headed out to conquer the demon. “Your reign of terror ends here, Akumakaijin!” Robin boomed. “You have caused enough destruction!” Kid Flash roared. “We will stop your wanton chaos and restore order!” Zuko bellowed. “You have messed with the wrong people!” Raven hollered. “You are going to have a taste of what our powers are like!” Jinx yelled. “And we are going to give it to you right now!” Katara cried out. Akumakaijin approached the six mages, bent down to their level, let out a huge and terrifying laugh, and blasted them with a fireball emerging from his hands. “You puny, insignificant fools think you can challenge me?! Do you think you have the strength to save your precious city?!” Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara arose slowly, as they still felt the pain inflicted from Akumakaijin’s fireball. “We’ll do what we can to defeat you and protect Miyanomora!” Zuko groaned as he got back up on his feet. “Even if it means sacrificing our lives to protect the people!” Katara added. “So, what are you waiting for, demon?” Robin demanded. “Let’s do this!” Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara exclaimed unanimously. Akumakaijin charged himself up again with full power, as flames and brimstone erupted from all parts of his body. Robin, Kid Flash, Zuko, Raven, Jinx, and Katara readied their bending stances and charged headfirst into the demon also charged up with their respective powers. Akumakaijin then slashed the three firebender princes and the three waterbender princesses in one fell swoop, thus making them crash to the ground with earth-shaking thuds. Just as Akumakaijin was about to overcome the six mages once again, something amazing happened. They sprang back into action once again to deliver some powerful attacks that did a huge number on Akumakaijin. Robin lept up the air and unleashed seven powerful jabs, hooks, and cross punches fueled by fire to Akumakaijin’s eyes. Kid Flash created a fiery whirlwind to disorient him. Zuko formed a flame-like spear to throw at his stomach. Raven, Jinx, and Katara raised their hands to recite the incantation “Aquarios Metrion Zinthos” and unleashed a tidal wave from their hands to extinguish Akumakaijin’s flames. To add further damage to the demon, Raven shot icicles from her hands to his eyes, Jinx flung ice blades from…
Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. This shall be the very last updated Toonami-era Inurangers teams list that serves as a fictional counterpart to the real-life Saban Era of the Power Rangers from 1993 starting with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to 2002 ending with Power Rangers Wild Force before moving to Disney, specifically ABC Kids, after Episode 26. My fictionalized Toonami-era Inurangers series would air from August 28, 2000, starting with all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers to December 31, 2005, ending with Inurangers Wild Force. Where Mighty Morphin Inurangers is concerned, this is going to be the season consisting of decomposite and composite characters for the main seven rangers, as I base them on which real-life counterparts they fit best. So, no Peace Conferences, no International Gymnastics deals, and no unexplained replacements are going to occur. Furthermore, this list is going to be kept to solely seven members per installment, considering that it follows the Super Sentai pattern of different team members per season. After much thinking, reflecting, and re-tweaking, and since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 30th anniversary is gradually then suddenly approaching, I believe I have concocted a finalized Toonami-Era Inurangers line-up that I am most satisfied with and one that I feel makes more sense. I also feel that this line-up is going to be a whole lot more fully realized and legitimate after the countless times I have been updating and re-updating the team line-up for what felt like ages. The same rule applies that the main seven colors of red, green or any other color, white or any other color, black or blue, blue or green, yellow, and pink apply to each ranger team. As to be expected certain characters such as Billy Cranston from Zeo, Adam Park from In Space, Nancy Cooper from Lightspeed Rescue, Alex Drake from Time Force, and even Princess Shayla from Wild Force are going to have their more fictional counterparts more active rangers to thoroughly complete the seven-ranger team line-up for each season. With that said, it is time to morph into action for my final update of the Toonami-era Inurangers teams from Mighty Morphin to Wild Force. Say it with me now, everybody. It’s Morphin’ Time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s rocket! Go galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Wild access!

Greetings, anime fans, martial arts aficionados, fighting game devotees, and enthusiasts of all things pertaining to anime, martial arts, video games, and fighting tournaments. Antoni here with another written entry. It should come off as no surprise that I love anime, martial arts, fighting games, and martial arts tournaments such as UFC and what we have today with Karate Combat. I revel in how diverse and intriguing fight choreography can be when the impact of a punch, kick, strike, and/or grapple can have on a combatant. Most of all, I enjoy the brutality of any blow or hold that is unleashed by the combatant whether in a real-life martial arts tournament or in fighting video games such as Tekken and Street Fighter. Therefore, martial arts tournaments melding with fighting games and anime are up there with the best things ever to make any nerd let alone otaku enthusiastic as well as grin from ear to ear. Given my experience of growing up with various anime series, fighting video games, and martial arts tournaments, I thought it would be fun to make seven groups of seven anime characters that I grew up with and give them the martial arts I think perfectly suit them. A good number of them will be based on canon, while others will be based on fanon. There are going to be a good number of characters that I grew up with from Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Solty Rei, Detective School Q, Ultra Maniac, Wolf’s Rain, Technolyze, Baki the Grappler, Shootfighter Tekken, Shura no Toki, Chrono Crusade, Geneshaft, Samurai 7, and Hajime no Ippo who will be featured on here. I am sure that fellow hardcore anime fans would recognize them in the team-ups provided as well as make their own assessments of the martial arts I have provided for them. With that said, arm yourselves well and be prepared to kick butt with these eight martial arts teams of seven consisting of anime characters I have had fond memories with ever since I was a child. You might even feel you are going through a character selection of your favorite fighting game. The Splendid Seven (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran) These seven Yokai warriors, consisting of two dog Yokai brothers, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, three spiky-haired brothers, Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and two auburn-haired sisters, Ayame and Shunran, capitalize on bloody brutality when they pummel their opponents without respite or mercy, thus making them emerge as victors in any tournament. Therefore, they prove themselves to be a strong team because of how much they can take brutal hits from their opponents while delivering more serious ones. Strength and stealth define them with abandon, and they do not surrender that easily when the chips are down. Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha) – Mixed Martial Arts Shuran (Inuyasha) – Professional Wrestling Inuyasha (Inuyasha) – Pankration Hakkaku (Inuyasha) – Muay Boran Ginta (Inuyasha) – Lehtwei Ayame (Inuyasha) – Taekwondo Shunran (Inuyasha) – Shaolin Kung Fu The Honorable Budoka (Kuranosuke, Kisuke, Shinosuke, Toran, Wakana, Enju, and Karan) Honor, decorum, valor, and stamina are the hallmarks of what defines them as martial artists. The three dashing gentlemen, consisting of Kuranosuke Takeda, Kisuke, and Shinosuke, have been Karate practitioners ever since they were young boys. While the four ladies, consisting of Toran, Wakana, Enju, and Karan, are deeply rooted in Chinese martial arts. Their strikes are a combination of accurate and deadly because of how much they do not hold back in unleashing their series of punches, kicks, and strikes, thus numbing their opponents in pain due to knowing a thing or two about pressure points. Kuranosuke Takeda (Inuyasha) – Shotokan Karate Kisuke (Inuyasha) – Goju-Ryu Karate Shinosuke (Inuyasha) – Kyokushin Karate Toran (Inuyasha) – Wing Chun Wakana (Inuyasha) – Baguazhang Enju (Inuyasha) – Wushu Karan (Inuyasha) – Hung Gar The Kings of the Iron Fist (Baki, Ryoma, Takeshi, Kiibo, Alexander, Ichiro, and Ippo) Boxing or Mixed Martial Arts? Who gives a damn? Seven strong dudes who use Boxing’s punishing punches while incorporating Mixed Martial Arts’ strangulating clinches and bloody attacks? You’re going to give a damn, especially when Baki Hanma, Ryoma Sakamoto, Takeshi Sendo, Kiibo Miyazawa, Alexander Volg Zangief, Ichiro Miyata, and Ippo Makunouchi combine their furious fists, super strength, and crushing clinches with aplomb! Once these seven strong clinchers and punchers put their fists and clinches to great use, their opponents need pray profusely for their survival to not end up dead, let alone reside in a hospital. Baki Hanma (Baki the Grappler) – Total Fighting Style Mixed Boxing Ryoma Sakamoto (Shura no Toki) – Pride FC Style Mixed Boxing Takeshi Sendo (Hajime no Ippo) – Naniwa Style Mixed Boxing Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa (Shootfighter Tekken) – Nanshin Shadow Style Mixed Boxing Alexander Volg Zangief (Hajime no Ippo) – Otowa Style Mixed Boxing Ichiro Miyata (Hajime no Ippo) – Kawahara Style Mixed Boxing Ippo Makunouchi (Hajime no Ippo) – Kamogawa Style Mixed Boxing The Queens of Titanium Strikes (Rosé T, Rose A, Winry, Megumi, Maya, Solty, and Kaoru) There is no escape let alone point of blocking when these seven sultry babes have shell-shocking strikes to perfectly compliment their fancy footwork. Whether Rosé Thomas, Rose Anderson, Winry Rockbell, Megumi Minami, Maya Orihara, Solty Revant, and Kaoru Ichinose use their punches, kicks, and strikes to take their opponents down or use defenses and evasion to block their opponent’s attacks, they never surrender before the bell rings. Therefore, they may be beauties with a strong sense of sisterhood, but they fight like vicious beasts who leave their opponents bloodied and bruised without respite. Rosé Thomas (Fullmetal Alchemist) – Dutch Kickboxing Rose Anderson (Solty Rei) – Shootboxing Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist) – American Kickboxing Megumi Minami (Detective School Q) – Sanda Maya Orihara (Ultra Maniac) – Japanese Kickboxing Solty Revant (Solty Rei) – Savate Kaoru Ichinose (Detective School Q) – Combat Hopak The Vicious Executioners (Yoshiki, Mamoru, Tsume, Mitsuhide, Masaru, Tatsuya, and Ryuichi) Heavyweight champions do not begin to describe…
