This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Ryoma and Leo being great friends, genuine brothers from other mothers, and honorable warriors grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Leo’s and Ryoma’s exceptionally honorable brotherhood and comradeship who combine fierce combat prowess with boundless integrity and abundant bravery. Leo is a Red Ranger who radiates selfless integrity, insurmountable honor, and unparalleled morality which bolster his mighty courage when it comes to protecting his friends, comrades, and family from harm and fighting against evil forces. These are the attributes that only made him a worthy addition to “Forever Red” but are also the attributes that Ryoma aspires to be. As a martial artist specializing in various forms of combat, Ryoma loves to challenge himself. Thus, he has found a worthy comrade, sparring partner, and big brother from another mother in Leo. Ryoma additionally earns Leo’s respect in terms of his commendable courage, fierce fighting spirit, and dignified integrity that puts even the highest-ranking samurai to shame. What Leo sees in Ryoma is a courageous leader and an upstanding fighter who never plays dirty and always lives a life of strong moral codes. In turn, Ryoma desires to be as formidably courageous as Leo is, for he possesses the lion’s regal strength. These formidable warrior kings would possess an unbreakable bond rife with trust, allegiance, and brotherly love. Leo’s and Ryoma’s brotherly virile bond demonstrates that they share so much in common. Their physical strength, indestructible stamina, and leonine courage radiate in every sparring session they find themselves in. From Karate to Kenpo to Judo to Jujitsu, they have built each other’s combat prowess in an astoundingly astronomical manner in their tenure as warriors and as truly strong men. Overlooking their fighting prowess and their need to grow as warriors, both Leo and Ryoma also care about their comrades and families. Leo would never stop singing the praises he has for his older brother, Mike, because he aspires to be as courageous and mighty as he is. In return, Ryoma would look up to Leo as his older brother because he is unafraid to cut his own path in life as a heroic Red Ranger who risks his life to save his comrades, friends, and family. This leads both Leo and Ryoma to not only affirm each other as brothers for life but also ensure that they take care of each other for the duration. Furthermore, Mike would express how happy he is to see Leo and Ryoma have a strong bond as best friends. 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. Ryoma Sakamoto from Shura no Toki belongs to Masatoshi Kawahara, Shin Misawa, Media Factory, and Studio Comet.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Mika and Andros being great friends, genuinely soulful comrades, and thoroughly close confidants with a sibling-like bond. Sit back, relax, and revel in Andros’s and Mika’s phenomenally genuine relationship as each other’s most trusted confidants through thick and thin. Andros may appear to be akin to a youthful Prince Charming with abundant decorum, intelligence, and calculation on the outside. However, he possesses abundant courage and conscientiousness as the Red Space Ranger, thus making his presence in “Forever Red” a major asset. Mika bears a grand amount of chutzpah, determination, and high spirits to fight against every obstacle she encounters and speak her mind when certain measures are not worth taking. All of what Mika is defined by would earn Andros’s respect and allegiance because he can see that she is an effective leader as the Red Space Inuranger. He also finds Mika’s high-spirited determination aspirational, given that she is the second female Red Inuranger of the Toonami era. Mika is grateful for Andros’s encouragement in her leadership because she sees a conscientious and unflinching general in him and would love to be just as strategic as he is. Ultimately, what brings both Andros and Mika together is not only their conscientious courage as Red Rangers but also their unflinching valiance to conquer whatever hinders them from their goals. Andros’s and Mika’s sibling-like bond as confidants means that Andros is the calculating yin to Mika’s fierce yang. Andros possesses an intimidating combination of telekinesis and attacks based on speed and stealth, while Mika has stamina and strength as a hand-to-hand combat specialist. Every sparring session they engage in is full of tension, and Alpha 6 needs a chainsaw to cut through it, while DECA needs to be more assertive with her control. Their enemies will not know peace when Andros’s stealth and Mika’s strength join forces to pulverize them to pieces even as Andros sits back and watches Mika destroy them. Physical prowess aside, Andros and Mika also care for the people who are most important to them while also experiencing loss. Both Andros and Mika understand what it is like to lose somebody important, with him initially losing his best friend Zhane and younger sister Karone and her losing her best friend Ryoko. At least with Zhane and Karone back in Andros’s life, they can also make Mika realize that she is never alone, are grateful for her friendship with Andros, and will also reverently honor Ryoko’s life. 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.

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.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Toran and Jason being the best of friends, the staunchest of companions, and bearing a bond that puts various older brother-younger sister, let alone mentor-mentee, relationships to shame. Thus, Jason’s and Toran’s relationship can tread between the tough mentorship that Pai Mei gives Beatrix aka The Bride from Kill Bill and the sibling-like bond that rivals Orestes and Electra. Sit back, relax, and revel in Jason’s and Toran’s exceptionally formidable siblinghood and unbridled penchant for action. As I stated before in one of my previous entries revolving around the Inurangers’ version of “Forever Red”, I made Toran take on Jason’s role because she represents being the fearlessly fierce leader of her team while also making her the second-in-command and lancer to Inuyasha’s leader of the Toonami-era Red Inurangers. Yes, Jason is the original Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Seasons 1 to 2. Yes, Toran is the Red Zeo Inuranger from Inurangers Zeo as well as the first female Red Ranger in my Inurangers AU headcanon. Nevertheless, they both lead their respective teams with courage, resilience, and determination. Their leadership roles are not handed on silver platters. Both Toran and Jason work hard to make sure their teams are well-protected and safe from danger. They also carry a strong sense of command to the point where their presence can never be questioned. Should anybody be so foolish as to cross Jason’s and Toran’s paths, a deadly combination of Jason’s meteor brimstone and Toran’s icicle showers shall occur upon the perpetrators. They are not to be messed with at all. Their unquestioned leadership also provides them room to exercise their martial arts expertise to protect those who are in massive affliction and to empower those who aspire to be as formidable as they are. Furthermore, Jason’s muscular Herculean strength and Toran’s fiercely Athenian stamina make them physically compatible as an unstoppable duo, thus showing that strength and stamina work exceedingly well together. Jason’s abilities in Kenpo, Judo, Taekwondo, and weightlifting are wonderfully complimented by Toran’s skills in Krav Maga, Marine Corps Martial Arts, Muay Lerdrit, and Silat Melayu to the point where they can never be stopped. Sparring sessions between Jason and Toran would be filled with blood-curdling ululations and high-impact blows echoing throughout the training hall. Every fireman carry, leg wheel, tornado kick, and hammer fist Jason gives to Toran would be countered by her wristlocks, chokeholds, palm strikes, and groin strikes. Jason would be thoroughly impressed with Toran’s eviscerating attacks, while Toran would love to emulate Jason’s fierceness and formidability in battle. Jason and Toran would also possess a formidably profound mentor-student bond that sees Jason seeing the best in Toran’s skills as a warrior and person. Jason knows fully well that there is more to leadership than solely vanquishing opponents because it is important to have good friends to fall back on. Toran’s bravado for conquering her enemies with her amazing martial arts skills may make her a truly formidable warrior empress, but even she understands the unquestionable value of friendship, respect, allegiance, and personal responsibility. Jason can see in Toran a fiercely loyal and unbreakably determined warrior who will not rest until the deeds are done. He would even do her a world of good by polishing her signature attacks, so that she can prioritize effectiveness and purpose should she find herself in a compromising situation. Techniques are not the only building blocks that need to be polished. Character is just as important in Jason’s training hall, for Toran would learn the importance of camaraderie, compassion, and cooperation to grow as a warrior empress and a person. Combat prowess and character development aside, Jason and Toran would also possess a firm bond, with the former being the take-charge older brother figure to the latter’s fiercely determined younger sister figure. There are occasions where Jason tends to be peeved with Toran’s high-and-mighty attitude revolving around besting opponents much stronger than her as well as her momentarily battle lust. There are also occasions where Toran feels like Jason constantly postulates his scoutmaster values to a fault to the point where they annoy her to no end. However, to say that Jason and Toran care for each other is a mere understatement. Jason always looks out for Toran’s safety and well-being, while Toran uses her courage to protect Jason from all harm and destruction. Their steadfastness to each other remains unparalleled and will always fight against any and every adversity they face. Whenever toil, danger, and strife come to invade their happy sibling-like bond, they would push back with full abandon and never surrender. Therefore, Jason and Toran will never leave each other’s side and will always triumph. 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. Toran from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.

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.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who believes it is a grand idea to have the eleven Toonami-era Red Inurangers be great friends to the eleven Saban-era Red Power Rangers. Sit back, relax, and revel in these two groups of Red Rangers having one of the most beautifully epic friendships to hit all of pop culture history. What happens when you take eleven Red Inurangers from the Toonami era of the anime Inurangers franchise of 2000 to 2006 and eleven Red Power Rangers from the Saban era of the real-life Power Rangers of 1993 to 2002 and have them meet each other? You would have an amazing friendship brewing between these two Red Ranger groups. Yes, my love for “Forever Red” remains truly untested, and there is no better way to show it than this grand friendship that stands the test of time. While there is strength in numbers, individual friendships constitute the bigger picture based on trust, genuineness, and gratitude. Inuyasha, Ryuichi, Toran, Alexander, Mika, Ryoma, Ichiro, Kiibo, Takeshi, Baki, and Ippo are blessed to have Tommy, Aurico, Jason, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole not just as best friends but also as older brothers from other mothers. Even all eleven Red Power Rangers would find it an honor that strong women such as Toran and Mika are worthy of donning the color red and leading their respective teams. Therefore, a synergetic bond shall be firmly established. This friendship between the eleven Red Toonami-era Inurangers and the eleven Red Saban-era Power Rangers is certainly amazing. However, I barely scratched the surface. Individual discussions of each Red Ranger friendship will be in the following submissions. I still hope you enjoyed this broad look into how this friendship shall function, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.

This “Character Gains Power, Skill, and Moves” meme 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 the Saban-era Red Rangers also known in my Inurangers AU headcanon as the Toonami-era Red Inurangers. Sit back, relax, and soak in Forever Red’s awesomeness as engendered by Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Ranger, Ryuichi the Red Ronin Ranger, Toran the Red Zeo Ranger, Alexander the Red Lightning Turbo Ranger, Mika the Red Space Ranger, Ryoma the Red Galaxy Ranger, Ichiro the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, Kiibo the Red Time Force Ranger, Takeshi the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger, Baki the Quantum Ranger, and Ippo the Red Blazing Lion Wild Force Ranger. Looks like Tommy, Aurico, Jason, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole would be pleased to see how well Inuyasha, Ryuichi, Toran, Alexander, Mika, Ryoma, Ichiro, Kiibo, Takeshi, Baki, and Ippo have mastered their powers and abilities as Red Rangers. They would even salute their Red Inuranger counterparts for being just as strong as fighters and heroes as they are, especially when it comes to protecting the universe. Furthermore, Rocky the second Red Tyrannosaurus Mighty Morphin Power Ranger would be proud of both Takeshi and Ryuichi for doing a lot more as Red Rangers and for being benevolent fighters too. Therefore, the Toonami-era Red Inurangers would live up to the standards that the Saban-era Red Power Rangers have left as combatants, heroes, and leaders for the most part. My appreciation for “Forever Red” remains as strong as ever. I could never have selected better characters to represent the Red Rangers of the Saban/Fox Kids era. Therefore, I leave you with the Toonami-era Red Inurangers performing their morphing sequence according to the Red Rangers they will be morphing into. The eleven Red Inurangers, still unmorphed, are lined up ready for battle before they do their respective morphs. Toran: Well, what are we waiting for? Inuyasha: Let’s do it, guys! Inuyasha: It’s morphin’ time! Tyrannosaurus! Mighty Morphin’ Inurangers! Ryuichi: It’s morphin’ time! Red Ronin Inuranger Power! Red Ronin Inuranger! Toran: It’s morphin’ time! Zeo Ranger 5 Red! Red Zeo Inuranger! Alexander: Shift into Turbo! Red Lightning Turbo Power! Red Turbo Inuranger! Mika: Let’s rocket! Red Space Inuranger! Ryoma: Go Galactic! Red Galaxy Inuranger! Ichiro: Lightspeed Rescue! Red Lightspeed Inuranger! Kiibo: Time for Time Force! Red Time Force Inuranger! Takeshi: Time for Time Force! Red Shadow Time Force Inuranger! Baki: Quantum Power! Quantum Inuranger! Ippo: Wild Access! Red Wild Force Inuranger! Inuyasha: All right, guys. Let’s do this! All eleven Red Inurangers extend their arms up high as two explosions of red smoke and flare happen behind them. They are truly the heroic Red Inurangers. 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.

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 in the Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” Sit back, relax, and revel in the Inurangers’ version of “Forever Red’s” final scene. Here is another iconic scene from Power Rangers Wild Force’s “Forever Red” that I hold dearly to my heart, mind, and soul, which is the epilogue. Not only is this scene very touching, but it is also a culmination of everything that the Saban-era Red Rangers endured in their ordeal against the Machine Empire. Since this final scene is the Toonami-Era Inurangers version, instead of the nine remaining Red Rangers saying their farewells to each other, it is all eleven Red Inurangers doing so. With that said, it is time for the Red Inurangers of the Toonami Era to bid each other until the next time after their battle against the Demon Beast Empire. It was an arduous battle that all eleven Red Inurangers endured against the Demon Beast Empire. Ippo, the newest addition to the Red Inurangers, came a long way in proving himself worthy as a warrior and as a leader in defeating Serpenterra with some help from his ten Red Inuranger comrades. Now that the Megaship has landed back on Earth, it is time for Inuyasha to bid farewell to his ten comrades, as all eleven Red Inurangers come together one last time before parting ways. Inuyasha addressed his ten comrades, “Thank you, Inurangers. You’ve done a great service to the entire universe.” Toran responded, “Don’t mention it, old friend.” Toran, Ryuichi, Ippo, Ichiro, Baki, Ryoma, Mika, Inuyasha, Alexander, Takeshi, and Kiibo place their right fists in the front. Alexander, Kiibo, Takeshi, Toran, Ryuichi, Ippo, Ichiro, Baki, Mika, Ryoma, and Inuyasha nod their heads in acknowledgment. Inuyasha then states, “I guess it’s time to say goodbye again. May the power protect you all.” All eleven Red Inurangers deliver a gentle fist-bump before Inuyasha departs. “Wow. So, that was Inuyasha. He really is the greatest Inuranger.” Ippo says in awe, as Inuyasha saunters away. Ryuichi, Toran, Alexander, Mika, Ryoma, Ichiro, Kiibo, Takeshi, and Baki laugh and guffaw at Ippo’s starry-eyed amazement and claim of Inuyasha as the greatest Inuranger ever. Ippo, on the other hand, is befuddled, “What did I say?” Ryuichi comments, “Well, I wouldn’t go that far. After all, I was the one who replaced him when he and his friends were turned into kids.” Toran retorts, “Are you kidding me? He may have been the one doing all the work, but he was also kissing on Ayame at the juice bar.” Ichiro replies, “All right, at least his attire is regulation, right?” Baki boasts, “Yeah, my Q-Rex would eat his Tyrannosaurus Zord for lunch! Yeah!” Ryoma interrupts, “But I discovered new galaxies.” Kiibo chimes in, “Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, I changed history. So, why does he have a fan club and I don’t?” Takeshi adds, “And I’ve been doing my share in keeping Time Force in tip-top shape. So, where’s my share of the accolades?” Mika demands, “Hey, I saved two worlds! What about that?!” Alexander finally concludes, “Wait, wait, wait, wait! Did I ever tell you guys about the time I got baked in a giant pizza?” Ryoma, Mika, Baki, Ichiro, Toran, Ryuichi, Takeshi, Kiibo, and Ippo respond, “Yeah, yeah!” The ten remaining Red Inurangers go their separate ways. I hope you all enjoyed the Inurangers’ version of “Forever Red’s” final scene, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.

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…
