For those of you who have read my previous written entries, most notably the ones where I talk about my reasons for loving InuAya, BakRosé, HakKar, GinShun, KiiWin, and IpMay as my six most favorite anime OTPs of all time and where I talk about my AU if I had Conan and Zula be the fathers of the gentlemen and Arkon and Ka-Zar be the fathers to the ladies, you would already know that I am a loyal shipper of Inuyasha x Ayame, Baki x Rosé, Hakkaku x Karan, Ginta x Shunran, Kiibo x Winry, and Ippo x Maya. Moreover, we have Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo being the strong, handsome husbands that they are complete with well-shaped muscles of steel and their most beloved wives Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya being just as strong as their handsome, sturdy husbands. Let us briefly talk about their relationships, shall we? Individual headcanons for these couples will eventually follow in individual submissions. Inuyasha x Ayame Inuyasha and Ayame are the Northern Yoro Tribe’s strongest warriors and they lead their tribe with a lot of fortitude, courage, and power. Combining Inuyasha’s super strength, especially when it comes to grappling, wrestling, and having posedowns and beatdowns with his foes, with Ayame’s amazing combat prowess, especially when it comes to giving her foes a major beatdown, is certainly a great match made in Nirvana. Behind closed doors, Inuyasha and Ayame would have a lot of exciting moments of intimacy, what with Inuyasha giving Ayame so much pleasure and Ayame soothing Inuyasha from all of the madness in battle. Inuyasha loves Ayame because of her resilience, determination, and dedication to her duty as his wife and Ayame loves Inuyasha because of how super strong he is, how gentle he is around her, and how loyal and loving he is as her husband. It also helps that their progeny prove themselves to be just as strong, tough, and durable as their parents. When all is said and done, Inuyasha and Ayame have a lot of unconditional love for each other thanks to their wonderful chemistry and strong bond. Baki Hanma x Rosé Thomas-Hanma Baki and Rosé are the types of people who love to keep fit and strong in everything they do. Baki’s great involvement in martial arts and bodybuilding and Rosé’s involvement in health and fitness certainly make them a couple no one should ever mess with. In spite of his rough edge, Baki is akin to a huge, soft teddy bear when he is around Rosé because she sees the best in him. Rosé loves how loyal Baki is to her and Baki loves how sweet, kind, and patient Rosé is with him. Therefore, this stoic, brawny gentleman with a heart of gold and this sweet, loving lady with the patience of a saint have a healthy relationship, which is reflected in their wonderful household. Their children are just as tough, strong, and loving as their parents and the dynamics they have with their parents show how much unconditional love there is within their happy home. Hakkaku x Karan Hakkaku and Karan are the Northern Yoro Tribe’s most flexible couple and they show it in spades. Hakkaku is the goofy, lovable strongman to Karan’s focused, determined mistress of stealth and when they are together in battle, their enemies would learn a thing or two about never underestimating their opponents. Being the dynamic couple that they are, Hakkaku and Karan take turns in wearing the pants in this relationship and they show a lot of unconditional tolerance, love, respect, and healthy synergy towards each other. They could even help each other in times of strife. Whenever Hakkaku has his doubts and anxieties, Karan would make him down to earth and assure him that he is strong enough to overcome anything. Whenever Karan has her disappointments, Hakkaku would assure her that it is not the end of the world. Moreover, their children would inherit their quirks and be just as resilient as Hakkaku and Karan combined. Ginta x Shunran Ginta and Shunran are the Northern Yoro Tribe’s most lovable and adorable couple ever, as their love for each other knows no bounds. Ginta is proud to proclaim himself to be Shunran’s knight in shining armor and Shunran loves it when her dashing stud is there for her all the time. There is not a shadow of a doubt that…
Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa/Winry Rockbell
Greetings, all ye wonderful fans of Conan the Adventurer, X-Men 1992, Inuyasha, Baki the Grappler, Shootfighter Tekken, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ultra Maniac, it is I your dear friend Antoni with another written entry. This has been on the back of my mind for quite some time and I have been playing around with this too. I know some of you are going to find this rather crazy but I always asked myself this question. What would happen if Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo were raised by Conan and Zula to be their sons? Moreover, what would happen if Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya were raised by Arkon and Ka-Zar to be their daughters? One would get two sets of really epic families and so many excitingly badass moments would occur when these two sets of families are together. In my AU there are two sets of gloriously muscular, tough, rough, big, and strong gay couples in the forms of Conan and Zula being the fathers of Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo and Arkon and Ka-Zar being the fathers of Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya. Conan and Zula would be the strong, handsome, tough, rough, warlike gay bodybuilder couple who are the fathers of their barbarian bodybuilder sons Inuyasha, Baki, Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo. Arkon and Ka-Zar would also be the strong, tough, rough, handsome, warlike gay bodybuilder couple who are the fathers of their athletic amazon daughters Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya. As one can tell, the OTPs of my AU with these characters are the following: Conan x Zula Arkon x Ka-Zar Inuyasha x Ayame Baki x Rosé Hakkaku x Karan Ginta x Shunran Kiichi “Kiibo” x Winry Ippo x Maya With that said, let us delve into who these fathers, their children, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are. The Big, Strong, Tough, Rough, Muscle Dads of the Bodybuilder Barbarians Conan of Cimmeria Age: 58 Birthday: March 2, 1961 Status: Married to Zula since 1982 Mini Bio: Conan is the main patriarch of his household. As a father, he is authoritative, strict, competitive, and shows a lot of tough love to his sons even when they end up being married and having children of their own. He considers Inuyasha and Baki his most favorite sons because they are not only the eldest two but they are also his best fighters and his most favorite people to work out with. He also loves Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo for being gracious and funny. Being a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, weightlifter, and fitness expert himself, he makes sure that his sons’, grandchildren’s, and great-grandchildren’s bodies, minds, and spirits are filled with enough discipline, strength, and toughness to beat out any opponent. Even in his old age, he has enough super strength to make his foes cower at his presence. Zula of the Wasai Tribe Age: 58 Birthday: September 3, 1961 Status: Married to Conan since 1982 Mini Bio: Zula is the second patriarch of Conan’s household. To balance Conan’s strictness and authority, he shows compassion, kindness, and nurture to all of his six sons, his daughters-in-law, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and his husband Conan. As much as he is extremely close and loving to his eldest sons, Inuyasha and Baki, he is especially fond of Hakkaku, Ginta, Kiibo, and Ippo for being energetic, tough, and lovable. Much like his husband, Zula is also a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, weightlifter, and fitness expert. He is even a hunter and an environmentalist who ensures that his progeny stay as fit as they are and respect nature and everything it represents. He and Conan even taught all of his six sons to roar like lions, tigers, and leopards when they are in a fight. Even in his old age, Zula not only has enough super strength to endure the rest of his life but also heaps of vitality. The Big, Strong, Warlike, Brave Muscle Dads of the Athletic Amazons Arkon Age: 57 Birthday: January 3, 1962 Status: Married to Ka-Zar since 1985 Mini Bio: Arkon is the main patriarch of his household complete with his loving husband and beautiful daughters. As a father, Arkon is authoritative, tough, commanding, and surprisingly compassionate to his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He considers Ayame and Rosé to be his most favorite daughters because of their athleticism, strength, and great combat prowess, though he also loves Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya because of how much affection and love they give to him. Arkon is a bodybuilder, wrestler, martial artist, boxer, combat strategist, and weightlifter who makes sure that his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are well-disciplined, strong, and sturdy combatants who will show a lot of endurance in everything they do. Though he is approaching 60, Arkon has enough strength, vitality, and toughness to give any opponent a good reason to run from him. Ka-Zar Age: 57 Birthday: March 1, 1962 Status: Married to Arkon since 1985 Mini Bio: Ka-Zar is the second patriarch and he is so grateful to have a noble, handsome husband like Arkon and six beautiful daughters like Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya in his life. To balance Arkon’s authoritative nature, he displays compassion, nurture, lovability, and kindness to all of his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Although he unconditionally loves Ayame and Rosé as his daughters, he considers Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya his most favorite daughters because of how hilarious, energetic, compassionate, affectionate, and feisty they can be. Ka-Zar is a bodybuilder, wrestler, boxer, martial artist, hunter, trapper, fisher, weightlifter, and environmentalist who ensures that he, his husband, his daughters, his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are not only physically fit but also one with nature. He and Arkon even taught Ayame, Rosé, Karan, Shunran, Winry, and Maya how to roar like jaguars, cheetahs, and panthers whenever they go into battle. Ka-Zar still manages to show a lot of super strength, vitality, and great combat prowess, which make him all the more awesome…
Greetings, anime shippers of the Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Baki the Grappler, Shootfighter Tekken, and Hajime no Ippo fandoms, it’s your old pal Antoni here with another written entry. For those of you know me and my tastes in shipping various anime characters, I happen to have very interesting and unique tastes and I will never let go of any of my OTP pairings, whether they be crossover pairings or within the show’s canon. This also goes hand in hand with an upcoming piece of work that has been in progress for several days. With that said, let’s get cracking. My Six Beloved Anime OTPs 1. Inuyasha x Ayame (Inuyasha) I have been pairing these two ever since I was a teenager and I am pleasantly surprised to know how well this pairing holds up. Their spicy intimacy, exciting synergy, and wonderful blend of personalities are enough for me to ship Inuyasha and Ayame so much. Think about it, Inuyasha’s super strength, toughness, and roughness is a great compliment to Ayame’s fierceness, grace, and beauty, thus making them a great definition of a brutish brawn and bionic beauty couple. Inuyasha would be the one to be strong for Ayame 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Ayame would admire everything about Inuyasha from his loyalty to his toughness in battle. My main headcanon for them would be that they start out as childhood friends, have feelings for each other as tweens, get married as teens, and have seven wonderful children who are just as strong, tough, and determined as them. 2. Baki Hanma x Rosé Thomas (Baki the Grappler and Fullmetal Alchemist respectively) Looks like I am a major sucker for pairing the brawny, muscular tough guy with the gorgeous, elegant sweetheart. I could see these two train their bodies and minds to peak condition in everything they do. Whenever either of them gets hurt, either Baki or Rose would tend to each other’s wounds. Sure, on the surface it is a crack pairing from two completely different shows, but where my headcanon for these two is concerned, it would be like this. Both of them would start out as lonely children who want solace and they eventually find each other. From there, they start being friends, Baki protects Rosé from anyone who wants to hurt her, and Rosé would be the one to cure Baki of any wound. As they grow, their relationship would flourish to the point where Rosé would see a much softer side to Baki and Baki would see that Rosé could be just as tough as he is. By the time they get and have children, their children would demonstrate so much resilience and strength that surpasses their parents. 3. Hakkaku x Karan (Inuyasha) This is a rather cute pairing between a strong, handsome goofball who refers to himself as the shrewd one and a feisty, fiery, fierce brawler chick who has pyrokinetic powers. Their dynamics would be exciting, fun, and so charming. Hakkaku would easily help Karan keep her fiery temper down and Karan would respect the heck out of Hakkaku’s brand of muscle power. They would be the couple who start off as a couple of friends having fun when they were children and, eventually, find themselves having feelings for each other. When that is accomplished, they would end up being married and bear children who are just as dynamic, hilarious, and feisty as them. 4. Ginta x Shunran (Inuyasha) These darlings are the definition of star-crossed lovers. Their moments of intimacy would be filled with canoodling, cuddling, and lots of sweet-talking. Ginta would admire Shunran for her positive energy, bubbliness, kindness, and lovability, and Shunran would adore Ginta for his strength, hilarity, sunny attitude, and generosity. In my headcanon, they would start off as childhood sweethearts, have dates when they are in their early teens, get married in their teens, and have lovely children they would certainly be proud of. Moreover, Ginta would always make Shunran laugh with his brand of hilarity and Shunran would calm Ginta down whenever he has a rough day. 5. Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa x Winry Rockbell (Shootfighter Tekken and Fullmetal Alchemist respectively) There is nothing better than a lovable, enthusiastic dumb muscle having a loving relationship with a tough, no-nonsense mechanic girl and, yes, this is my second most favorite crossover anime OTP pairing. Together, these two are more than capable of opening a can of whoop-ass any time and any place. Kiichi and Winry would be the couple who would keep their physiques and combat prowess in tip-top shape and make sexy, rough love after a long day of combat. Kiichi would always help Winry with improving her combat skills, and Winry would always love it when Kiichi helps her out with her inventions. Ergo, their loyalty to each other would be boundless. In my headcanon, they start off as best friends as children then end up dating as tweens. Finally, they would get married in their late teens and have a fine brood of energetic and creative children. 6. Ippo Makunouchi x Maya Orihara (Hajime no Ippo and Ultra Maniac respectively) Folks, this is the last crossover anime OTP I love so much and what better way to wrap this up than this holy matrimony between a sympathetic, courageous, fine gentleman and a mischievous, feisty, spicy lady. This is not just me fawning about how cute they are together but also loving how their different personalities can complement each other so well. Ippo’s sweet, boy-next-door nature meshes so well with Maya’s fiery nature and there is never going to be a moment of animosity between these two. Ippo would love Maya for how hilarious she can be thanks to her dark sense of humor and Maya would love the absolute heck out of Ippo because of his kindness and how strong he is as an athlete. Ippo’s and Maya’s relationship would start off as being childhood sweethearts then have Maya start to develop more feelings…
