Hajime no Ippo

Ippo’s and Cole’s Insurmountable Compassion

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Ippo and Cole being great friends, the firmest of soul brothers, and the most compassionate of comrades grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Cole’s and Ippo’s marvelously interpersonal warmth and genuinely unconditional love as brothers from other mothers who will always have each other’s backs and whose hearts of gold will forever shine as brilliantly as ever. Cole is a Red Ranger whose heart, mind, and soul are in the right place, especially when it comes to protecting all living beings from disastrous calamities. He wears peace, compassion, respect, understanding, and servitude to other people and nature like a well-fashioned suit of tribal armor. When he takes the time to consider the next best actions as well as get to the heart of individuals’ intentions, he finds the clearest distinction between a good Samaritan who has selflessly noble intentions and a malevolent bastard who has insidiously vicious intentions. Ippo may be an Olympic-level boxer with abundant dreams and aspirations, but even he needs to learn some sobering lessons from Cole. There is no doubt that Ippo respects, admires, and adulates Cole and his sense of intuition as well as compassion for those he cares for from his friends to his family. Furthermore, Ippo would learn a ton from Cole from the importance of family and friends to respect for nature, which he would soak up exceedingly well. This comes to a head when both Cole and Ippo end up accepting each other as soul brothers for life. Cole and Ippo have a genuine brotherhood that transcends respect, camaraderie, and positive vibes, for they can encourage each other to remain noble, pure, and steadfast not only toward each other but also toward the people they care about the most. Their brotherhood would also be well-implemented in the various activities they do. Ippo’s skills as an Olympic-level boxer would challenge Cole to sharpen his combat skills and diversify his repertoire of striking attacks. Cole would impart his tribal skills to Ippo to make him a resourceful hunter, gatherer, and tracker for food as well as a true protector for his family and friends. Both of them would be just as enthusiastic as each other, considering that they are the recent additions to their respective “Forever Red” universes. Outside their Red Ranger tenure, Cole and Ippo would even express happiness, gratitude, and joy as genuine brothers forever. Cole and Ippo would even express how much they want to have a brother in their lives. This motivates Cole to affirm to Ippo that he will be the best big brother he will ever be, thus culminating in a warm embrace. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody. Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo belongs to George Morikawa and Madhouse.

Takeshi’s and Alex’s Relentless Fierceness

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Takeshi and Alex being great friends, super staunch comrades, and amazingly formidable brothers-in-arms grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Alex’s and Takeshi’s magnificently potent and indubitably amazing fraternal bond as comrades-in-arms who will always challenge each other to grow as combatants and as men. Alex brims with determination, toughness, and resilience as the original Red Time Force Ranger. While he may not have participated in “Forever Red”, Alex’s firm, by-the-book approach to leadership serves as a canvas for Wes to rise as his own Red Time Force Ranger. Alex was also responsible for aiding his comrades out in battle behind the shadows from releasing Time Shadow to providing Wes with the Strata Cycle. Despite his brand of leadership being too harsh during his return, even he learns from Wes that destiny can be changed. Enter Takeshi who has taken on the mantle of being the Red Time Shadow Inuranger as a stark contrast to Alex being the original Red Time Force Ranger and also avenges Rocky DeSantos’s non-participation in “Forever Red.” Takeshi’s hot-blooded strength and unwavering fortitude as a boxer, a combatant, and even the original leader of the Time Force Inurangers have made a strong impression on Alex. Even Takeshi’s willingness to stick by his team have been nothing short of impressive in Alex’s eyes. Therefore, Alex and Takeshi form a brotherly bond that guarantees growth. Alex and Takeshi salute each other as comrades and brothers-in-arms who revel in challenging each other to grow as fighters and as soldiers for justice. Sometimes Alex’s rigid, old-world, and über conventional sense of authority tends to irritate Takeshi to the point where he feels tired of being lectured by him. On the flip side, Takeshi’s impulsiveness, brashness, rash attitude, and tough stubbornness drive Alex up a wall to the point where he wants to use physical force to restrain him, i.e., his chokeholds and counterattacks whenever Takeshi attempts to swing his fists at him. However, they never give up on each other even when times get extremely contentious and would always encourage each other to reach their best potential. Alex always encourages Takeshi to not let his impulses get the better of him. Takeshi, in turn, always makes Alex see that there is more to life than just following everything by the book. Alex and Takeshi are not alone in seeing each other’s best sides as brothers from other mothers, as Rocky would also do his part in stating how proud he is of Takeshi for growing as a secondary Red Ranger. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.

Ichiro’s and Carter’s Staunch Comradeship

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Ichiro and Carter being great friends, exceptionally formidable brothers-in-arms, and the staunchest of comrades grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Carter’s and Ichiro’s fabulously tight comradeship and firmly brotherly dynamics as a steely duo of combatants aligning themselves on the side of justice. Carter’s unparalleled brand of heroism and unflinching service to the citizens of Mariner Bay and the world have all garnered him honor and acclaim. He has earned those rewards through hard work, dedication, and courage to protect those in harm’s way. Hence, he does not perceive firefighting as a career but as a vocation that must be enacted with care and duty. Not only do Carter’s shining attributes make him one of the worthiest members in “Forever Red”, but they have also been traits that Ichiro applauds with reverence. Since Ichiro is the Red Lightspeed Inuranger and the leader of the Lightspeed Rescue Inurangers, he wants to emulate Carter’s amazing heroism and be just as great as he is. Carter may be grateful for the laurels that he has been receiving from Ichiro, but he also appreciates his focus and ambition. There is no doubt that Ichiro’s steely focus and unflinching ambition are attributes that Carter admires about him. However, what he also appreciates about Ichiro is that he is true to himself and is not a phony person. Therefore, Carter and Ichiro respect each other will all of their hearts and minds. Carter and Ichiro manage to implement their vocations and use them as tools for self-improvement and interpersonal empowerment. Although Ichiro is primarily a prominent boxer, he puts his ambitious fighting spirit and steely combat prowess to great use when he assists Carter in death-defying missions, especially when it comes to rescuing families trapped by vicious flames. Once the families have been rescued, Ichiro helps Carter in putting out the fire and tending to those who have been injured. Even Carter would absorb a lot of Ichiro’s punching techniques and improve his combat prowess to become as strong, skilled, and stealthy of a combatant as he is. Punches aside, Ichiro and Carter would even run marathons to increase their speed and stamina in everything they do from combat to rescue missions. When Carter’s fierce heroism and Ichiro’s icy determination are merged together, they form an amazing duo who can vanquish evil forces with their combined skills. Vile felons and malevolent demons will not know peace when Carter and Ichiro exterminate them to fine dust with their amazing combat prowess. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.

Alexander’s and TJ’s Charismatic Warmth

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Alexander and TJ being great friends, warm-hearted brothers from other mothers, and the most appreciative sportsmen of all time. Sit back, relax, and revel in TJ’s and Alexander’s exceptionally appreciative brand of brotherhood to the point where they root for each other’s endeavors and encourage each other to be the best athletes, combatants, and men they can be. TJ has always been a true Red Ranger, for he truly deserved to be one in the second half of Power Rangers Turbo and was a worthy addition to “Forever Red.” His charisma, openness, strong leadership, and amazing ability to think quickly on his feet are all wonderful attributes that have made him succeed Tommy as the real-deal Red Lightning Turbo Ranger. There is no doubt that Alexander aspires to be just as strong and charismatic of a leader as TJ is. While TJ is grateful for Alexander’s aspirations to reach his level of leadership, he would remind him that he has something special. In fact, TJ admires Alexander for leading his team as the Red Lightning Turbo Inuranger all throughout Inurangers Turbo, thanks to his focus, strength, determination, and steeliness. More than any of those traits, TJ would also see abundant humility and unconditional love for his family in Alexander, which he also cherishes so much. The levels of appreciation brimming between TJ and Alexander are through the roof, thus encouraging both of them to constantly demonstrate gratitude toward each other, their friends, and their families. TJ’s and Alexander’s empowerment of each other’s positive leadership skills is not only accomplished through their characters but also their aspirations and hobbies. TJ’s stamina as a baseball player and Alexander’s discipline as a boxer are what empower each other to perform at their peak level. This gets to the point where TJ adapts to Alexander’s controlled aggression from boxing, and Alexander implements the necessary accuracy from baseball like hitting the ball with the bat. They would even engage in intensive training sessions in baseball and boxing. Athletic skills aside, both TJ and Alexander would demonstrate their love for food and food preparation. For special occasions, TJ would prepare gumbo and Jambalaya, while Alexander would prepare borscht and pelmeni for each other to taste to their hearts’ content. All of their activities would make them grow closer to each other like brothers. Alexander would exposit how much he would love to have a big brother because he felt alone with his mother. TJ responds that he will be Alexander’s big brother for life, thus leading them to be in each other’s warm embrace. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody. Alexander Volg Zangief from Hajime no Ippo belongs to George Morikawa and Madhouse.

Ryuichi’s and Aurico’s Dashing Regalness

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Ryuichi and Aurico being great friends and loyal companions to each other. Sit back, relax, and revel in the exceptionally dynamic bond that Ryuichi and Aurico possess together. I stated in a previous submission that Ryuichi’s more active presence in the Inurangers version of “Forever Red” rectifies Aurico’s limited screen presence. Moreover, Ryucihi rectifies Rocky DeSantos’s non-participation in this special as well as his shaky reputation as the second Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, at least according to the Power Rangers fandom. This makes Ryuichi more of a hero and a leader as the Red Ronin Inuranger than Aurico is as the Red Alien Ranger of Aquitar. While Ryuichi possesses charisma, virile charm, and masculine bravado as the Red Ronin Inuranger, Aurico possesses decorum, fighting spirit, and sufficient backbone as the Red Alien Ranger. Aurico and Ryuichi would greatly benefit from each other in terms of constructing each other’s best traits and improving each other’s weaknesses. Should Aurico be injured in battle, Ryuichi would sacrifice himself to protect him. Should Ryuichi suffer from a nearly devastating attack from enemies, Aurico would use his powers to shield him from harm. Therefore, Aurico and Ryuichi have each other’s backs every time. Ryuichi’s and Aurico’s steadfastness toward each other also guarantees that they can grow as much stronger fighters. As Ryuichi is an acclaimed boxer, he can use his pugilistic skills to help Aurico think quickly on his feet should any attacks or physical invasions befall him. Considering Aurico’s extraordinary powers born from Aquitar, he can use them to heighten Ryuichi’s self-defense. Physical prowess is not the only attribute working well for both Aurico and Ryuichi, as they can also build each other’s traits. Aurico has decorum, conscientiousness, and honor as a fighter, thus making all his traits worthy of aspiration for Ryuichi. Sometimes Aurico’s way of being akin to Ryuichi’s big brother from another mother may be old-fashioned, but he demonstrates fierce loyalty toward him. Ryuichi has charisma, charm, and fearlessness as a fighter, which Aurico cherishes. Although Ryuichi tends to be too big for his boots, Aurico reminds him that there is more to life than obtaining conquest, prestige, and fame. With Aurico and Ryuichi existing together as brothers from other mothers, they can always see the best in each other. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody. Ryuichi Hayami from Hajime no Ippo belongs to George Morikawa and Madhouse. Aurico from Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers belongs to Saban and Toei.

The Toonami Era’s Inurangers Teams (Updated)

Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. Be prepared to don those nostalgia goggles once again, everybody, because I am going to take you back to the years where my fictionalised version of Saban’s Power Rangers franchise from August 28, 1993 to August 10, 2002, with the final Saban-Era Power Ranger incarnation Wild Force airing its twenty-sixth episode before moving to Disney, would have aired on Toonami from August 28, 2000 to September 20, 2008. As to be expected, these also include the Inuranger movie tie-ins much like their real-life counterparts in the forms of 1995’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie and 1997’s Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Strap in for a morphenomenal ride back to your childhoods, fellow 90s to early 2000s friends, and stay glued to your television screens with some popcorn .   This will mark the last time I am ever going to redo this list of what I would call the Toonami Era of the Inurangers franchise, which is the Saban Era of Power Rangers franchises’s fictionalised counterpart. It is not because I do not want to do it anymore, but because I love the Saban Era of the Power Rangers even with some of its gaping flaws and moments of campiness, and, of course, I also love anime with a passion. Even looking back at the previous attempts of making the Toonami-Era Inurangers teams list, I did not know what I was thinking when assigning certain characters these particular rangers. For instance, the fact that I made Kyuzo from Samurai 7 the Inuranger version of Cole Evans of Wild Force was a decision I regretted, but I have learned from this experience, and I would gladly recast Kyuzo as a seventh ranger in Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue and reassign the Cole Evans role to none other than Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo. Speaking of Hajime no Ippo and recasting, there will also be some recasts done, including having Ichiro Miyata be the Inurangers Turbo version of TJ Johnson among other decisions that shall gladly be rectified. Nevertheless, this is still going to be a whole lot of fun because at least they are in their right roles, with select entries still maintaining their right casting.   Ever since re-evaluating and re-organising the Toonami-era Inurangers teams, I have also become a lot stricter in terms of one cast of seven members per incarnation. As I stated before, I am not going by the real-life Super Sentai/Power Rangers franchise of having mostly five to eventually six members per incarnation but a total of seven members, for the colours of red, green, white, black, blue, yellow, and pink shall remain intact as the primary Inuranger colours, although incarnations such as In Space, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force would mix up the colour scheme. For instance, Mighty Morphin Inurangers Seasons 1 until 3 will still have the same cast of seven rangers, while Zeo and subsequent seasons would have entirely new casts of seven rangers, although there will be some members of Inurangers Turbo who are going to end up in the In Space incarnation. Therefore, the strict rule of seven members per Inurangers incarnation prevails.   I would also like to have a word about composite and decomposite characters because this is something I could have addressed a little bit more verbosely when I was doing these Inurangers lists. Because there are seven members per Inurangers incarnation in total, there will be occasions where the traits of certain characters would also be inhabited by the characters I have chosen to be the specific colour of Inuranger. This especially holds the most weight in Mighty Morphin Inurangers, but is also true for Inurangers In Space, Inurangers Lightspeed Rescue, and Inurangers Time Force to a certain extent. For instance, Sesshoumaru the White Mighty Morphin Inuranger and Shuran the Green Mighty Morphin Inuranger are decomposite characters of Tommy Oliver’s tenure as the Green Ranger from MMPR Seasons 1 to 2 and the White Ranger from MMPR Seasons 2 to 3, with the former leaning towards more on Tommy Oliver’s entire persona and the latter bearing most traits from Tommy’s clone/”twin” Tom from “Return of the Green Ranger”. Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are going to receive the composite character treatment, and you will find out which composite character combinations suit them the most. So, do not expect any Peace Conferences or International Gymnastics deals or what have you to occur in any of these instances, especially with what specifically happened to Walter Emanuel Jones, Thuy Trang, and Austin St. John during their tenure on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Besides, the less said about what happened during their time with payment and their demand for unionisation the better because that is quite the can of worms several Power Rangers fans could never shake off.   There will also be instances where certain allies to the Power Rangers in canon would find themselves being rangers themselves as embodied by the chosen characters, such as the likes of Billy the former Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger from Zeo as the White Gold Ranger, Alex Drake the first Red Time Force Ranger joining in the team as the Crimson Time Ranger, Ms. Angela Fairweather from Lightspeed Rescue participating as the Chromium Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, and Princess Shayla from Wild Force becoming more active as the Emerald Deer Ranger all embodied by the characters I have chosen for them. They will essentially contribute far more than any viewer or hardcore Power Rangers let alone Super Sentai fan can ever bargain for. Additionally, there are also some mixes as to which character I would assign for which specific ranger, especially since I would assign Toran from Inuyasha as the first female Red Inuranger in Inurangers Zeo with Mika Seido from Geneshaft as the second female Red Inuranger for In Space following suit, Botan from YuYu Hakusho as the first…

The Toonami Era’s Inurangers Teams

Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. I hope you have a bowl of cereal, a nice plate of bacon and eggs, and a glass of orange juice ready with you because this would make you feel a whole more nostalgic once again, given the title. This hopefully marks the final time I am going to make a list of the seven main Inurangers cast from what I would like to call the Toonami Era of 2000 until 2009 as a counterpoint to the real-life Saban Era of Power Rangers from 1993 to 2002. I have even included the two movies that were released during the Saban Era, Inuranger-style, i.e. Mighty Morphin Inurangers the Movie and Turbo: An Inurangers Movie.   I did a lot of thinking, rethinking, and re-assessing, and I realised that, despite all the changes I made so far, I was still not satisfied with my prior list because there were some characters I believe deserved to be part of the Inurangers franchise as well as more love. Furthermore, there were some characters that would have made more sense than others in terms of the roles I assigned for them. This also means that there will be cast changes per Inuranger season akin to what is done in the Super Sentai shows, thus having all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers maintain the same seven members, instead of what occurred in real life when the OG Red, Yellow, and Black Rangers portrayed by Austin St John, Thuy Trang, and Walter Emanuel Jones hanging their mantles and passing their roles on to Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, and Johnny Yong Bosch, and having Inurangers Zeo with a completely different cast. This is essentially passing down the torch to each new Inuranger group as well as season.   With that said, let us get this show on the row. It’s Morphin’ Time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s rocket! Go galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Wild access!   Mighty Morphin Inurangers Seasons 1 to 3 (2000–2003) Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver voiced by Scott Logie Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Hakkaku from Inuyasha the Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston voiced by Paul Dobson Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Shunran from Inuyasha the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart voiced by Jocelyne Loewen   Mighty Morphin Inurangers the Movie (2001) Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver voiced by Scott Logie Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Hakkaku from Inuyasha the Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston voiced by Paul Dobson Shunran from Inuyasha the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart voiced by Jocelyne Loewen   Mighty Morphin Makai Rangers (2003) Yusuke Urameshi from YuYu Hakusho the Red Makai Ranger version of Aurico voiced by Justin Cook Botan from YuYu Hakusho the White Makai Ranger version of Delphine voiced by Cynthia Cranz Kazuma Kuwabara from YuYu Hakusho the Yellow Makai Ranger version of Tideus voiced by Christopher R.

The Saban Era of Inurangers Updated and Revamped

Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s. Antoni here. Ever since I made the cast list of what I would love to call the “Saban” Era of Inurangers for the first time, I thought I was going to be satisfied with it. However, looking back at that former list, I was not entirely happy let alone satisfied with it, as there were some casting choices that could have been more legitimate let alone improved. There were casting choices which were based on me not fully researching on the character enough, which made me inquire to myself, what I was thinking when I made that move. Furthermore, some of the casting choices were based off of either blind nostalgia or just simply not knowing any better.   I have also done some reflecting on the “Saban” era of the Inurangers. Much like how its original and real-life Saban-era Power Rangers counterpart aired on Fox Kids from 1993 to 2002, I figured that the Inurangers’ “Saban” era would be called the Toonami Era from 2000 to 2009 because Toonami would be a great Cartoon Network afternoon block for children, teenagers, and the young at heart to see anime characters in spandex fighting evil while also having the occasional PSA that would teach us lessons about discipline, honesty, encouragement, and dedication. Yes, I know the original Toonami ended in October 2008, but just think of this as my personal vindication for the fans who really loved and were passionate about the 1997 to 2008 era of Toonami.   Once again the same rule applies for Inurangers in terms of main members, especially when I also list the anime series they originally come from. Unlike its real-life Power Rangers counterparts where there are between five to six main members of their respective groups from Mighty Morphin to Wild Force, there is going to be seven main members in the Inuranger franchise. Why seven, I hear you ask again? Let me remind you that the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from Seasons 1 to 3, despite Tommy Oliver being the Green Ranger from Seasons 1 to 2 and the White Ranger from Seasons 2 to 3, actually has a total of seven Power Ranger suits, thus following the colour scheme of having a red ranger, a green ranger, a white ranger, a black ranger, a blue ranger, a yellow ranger, and a pink ranger. Member-wise, there will also be some deviations, especially in the later parts of Mighty Morphin Inurangers Seasons 2, all of Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 3, and the later parts of Inurangers Zeo, as there are going to be a total of eleven members at least in those seasons. Colour-wise, there are also going to be some deviations in In Space, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force. Finally, and this is something I should have done in the older list, I am also going to list their English voice actors for their respective rangers because I am sure you would love the thought of hearing them say their respective Inuranger morphing time roll calls.   With that said, grab your bowl of cereal, plate of bacon and eggs, glass of orange juice, and pieces of fruit, as you sit in front of the television to see your favourite anime heroes in spandex defend the world from all evil. It’s Morphin time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s rocket! Go galactic! Lightspeed rescue! Time for Time Force!   Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 1 (2000–2001) Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver voiced by Scott Logie Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Hakkaku from Inuyasha the Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston voiced by Paul Dobson Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Shunran from Inuyasha the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart voiced by Jocelyne Loewen   Mighty Morphin Inurangers the Movie (2001) Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver voiced by Scott Logie Hakkaku from Inuyasha the Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston voiced by Paul Dobson Shunran from Inuyasha the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart voiced by Jocelyne Loewen   Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 2 Episodes 1 to 28 (2001) Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver voiced by Scott Logie Hakkaku from Inuyasha the Black Mastodon Ranger version of Zack Taylor voiced by Alistair Abell Ginta from Inuyasha the Blue Triceratops Ranger version of Billy Cranston voiced by Paul Dobson Shunran from Inuyasha the Pink Pterodactyl Ranger version of Kimberly Ann Hart voiced by Jocelyne Loewen   Mighty Morphin Inurangers Season 2 Episodes 29 to 52 (2001–2002) Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha the White Tigerzord Ranger version of Tommy Oliver voiced by David Kaye Inuyasha from Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger version of Jason Lee Scott voiced by Richard Ian Cox Ayame from Inuyasha the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Ranger version of Trini Kwan voiced by Natalie Walters Shuran from Inuyasha the Green Dragonzord Ranger version of Tom Oliver…

The Hunky, Muscular Combat Sports Gods drawn by me

Ichiro and Kintaro: Greetings, ladies, and gentlemen. Ichiro: I am your lord of uppercuts, hooks, and jabs, Ichiro Miyata. Kintaro: And I am your lord of suplexes, judo flips, and gut punches, Kintaro Touyama. (Ichiro flexes his pectoral muscles and Kintaro flexes his biceps.) Ichiro: We know you cannot resist this. Kintaro: If you want us so badly come and get it. Rose and Solty: Ehem. Sweethearts, we just heard that. Ichiro and Kintaro: Oh. (whisper to the viewers) Just don’t tell our wives that. But until then, have a great day. This piece of Ichiro Miyata and Kintaro Touyama fan art is dedicated to Cecilia aka Neyuni who celebrated her birthday barely a month ago. Entonces, Cecilia, espero que hayas tenido un cumpleaños maravilloso y te deseo mucho amor, felicidad y prosperidad en tu vida como artista y persona. This is also dedicated to the people who ship Ichiro Miyata and Kintaro Touyama as an awesome BroTP. Here we have 35-year-old Ichiro Miyata and 34-year-old Kintaro Touyama being the absolutely dashing, handsome, jacked gentlemen combatants that they are and being as quite the charmers. I personally ship these two as a BroTP because of how their different personalities can be played off of each other with having Ichiro’s focus, no-nonsense attitude, and intelligence complementing Kintaro’s fun-loving, lovable personality. Ergo, it is so fun to see their personalities bounce off of each other. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you all in the next submission.

Baki: Greetings, ladies, and gentlemen. It is I, your champion of the ring, Baki Hanma.   Kiibo: And I, your primetime pulverizer of the arena, Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa.   Ippo: And I, your knockout king, Ippo Miyazawa.   Baki: We all hope you feel comfortable tonight.   Kiibo: Especially considering that you can marvel at our awesome physiques.   Ippo: And enjoy our company doing so.   Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: But…um…   (Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo look left and right then lean forward.)   Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Don’t tell our wives you had your way with us.   Rosé, Winry, and Maya: We heard that, you darling devilish studs.   Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Oh..Hehehe.   Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Until next time, pleasant dreams.   This piece of Baki Hanma, Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, and Ippo Makunouchi fanart is dedicated to MoonLightcz who celebrated her birthday eighteen days ago. So, I hope you had such a fabulous and awesome birthday and I wish you a lot of love, joy, prosperity, happiness, and abundance in your life as an artist and as a person. This is also dedicated to all of the people who ship Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo as an awesome, strong, and magnificent BroT3 containing three fighters of different combat sports.   Here we have 36-year-old Baki Hanma, 35-year-old Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, and 35-year-old Ippo Makunouchi being the sexy, muscular, handsome, jacked, strong gentlemen that they are, especially considering that they have such magnificent bodies you can stare for days. Resistance is beyond futile because even though they can dish out such awesome fighting moves on the ring, they can be wonderfully gentle and suave if you give them a chance.   I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you all in the next submission. Take care, everybody.   Baki Hanma from Baki the Grappler belongs to Keisuke Itagaki and Group TAC.   Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa Shootfighter Tekken or High School Exciting Story: Tough belongs to Tetsuya Saruwatari and Anime International Company.   Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo belongs to George Morikawa and Madhouse.
