Greetings and salutations, fellow aficionados of anime, Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and everything early 1990s to early 2000s, Antoni here. After much more reflection and revising the line-ups of various Inurangers teams, I present you with the revised Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” As always, there are eleven Red Inurangers in total as opposed to the real-life counterpart’s ten. This time Takeshi Sendo from Hajime no Ippo shall remain as the Inuranger version of Aurico the Red Alien Ranger, while Kurz Weber from Full Metal Panic shall remain as the Inuranger version of Alex Drake the Red Shadow Time Force Ranger. The rest of the Red Inurangers will remain the same. Thus, unlike the real-life “Forever Red”, which has an all-male team-up, the Inuranger version of “Forever Red” has nine male Red Inurangers Inuyasha, Takeshi, Alexander, Ryoma, Ichiro, Kiibo, Kurz, Baki, and Ippo and two female Red Inurangers Toran and Mika. Inuyasha is still the face and the driving force of the Inurangers much like Tommy Oliver is and, thus, leads his fellow Red Inurangers against the Demon Beast Empire consisting of Chokyukai, Suzaku, Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryu. Furthermore, Kimiaki Shirai and Masayuki Haitani from Love Hina, who are the Inurangers’ version of Bulk and Skull, give the phone to Inuyasha for him to assemble the rest of the Red Rangers. Despite Inuyasha being technically akin to Jason Lee Scott in terms of leadership, it is Toran who inherits Jason’s rougher edge and his iconic line of the team not being complete without her as Inuyasha’s replacement. She would even call Ippo the rookie of the team. Yes, Toran is the Red Zeo Inuranger just like Tommy is during his tenure in Power Rangers Zeo. However, she acts more like Jason in the sense that she is the lancer with an edge in this all-Red Ranger team-up. Much like how Jason jokes about Tommy kissing Kimberly in the juice bar, Toran also jokes about Inuyasha saying that he may have done all the work as the original Inuranger leader, but he was also kissing Ayame after their missions. Toran works greatly as a lancer to Inuyasha’s main hero/leader/mentor figure because of how well they can bounce off of each other as fellow Red Inurangers. Inuyasha’s experience as the main hero and leader and Toran’s edge as the lancer complement each other perfectly. With that said, you know what time it is. It’s Morphin’ Time! Shift into Turbo! Let’s Rocket! Go Galactic! Lightspeed Rescue! Time for Time Force! Quantum Power! Wild Access! Red Rangers unite! Forever Red: The Toonami-Era Red Inurangers Team-Up (2006) Inuyasha, the original Red Inuranger, has assembled his fellow Red Inurangers for a mission: to stop Chokyukai, Suzaku, Genbu, Byakko, and Seiryu from resurrecting Serpenterra. Ippo the Red Wild Force Inuranger and newcomer to the mission is overwhelmed by the presence of previous Red Inurangers who have also fought bravely to save the world, with some of them being leaders of their respective teams. There is going to be a lot of high-octane action and excitement when the eleven Toonami-Era Red Inurangers join forces and protect the world from the clutches of the Demon Beast Empire.

This Power Rangers Turbo episode may only have sporadic moments of The Nutcracker ballet inserted through the rehearsals and the final product, but it is still a decent watch. Please enjoy and let me know your opinions.
I expound on seven ways on how I would improve this infamously saccharine Power Rangers holiday special from being sugary fluff to bearing more action, thrills, and tension as it should have done so in the first place. Please enjoy my video and let me know your opinions.
(The Angel Grove Concert Hall. Millions of Power Rangers fans young and old enter the building to watch the Forever Red rap concert. Everybody finds their seats, thus anticipating today’s event. The curtain rises to reveal a robot with a discus-like head and a lightning emblem on his chest. The robot is short and is colored gold, red, and purple and is named Alpha 5.) Alpha 5: Ay yi yi yi, what a full house this is! Greetings, Power Rangers fans from all over the world. Welcome to the show. My name is Alpha 5, your host for tonight’s concert. Do you know what time it is? Audience: Yeah! It’s Red Ranger Rap Time! Alpha 5: You said it, and here they are now! (Alpha 5 exits the stage, once the offstage hip hop beats played by Bulk, a rotund man on the turntables, Skull, a skinny man on percussions, Lieutenant Stone, a tall man on the keyboard, and Professor Phenomenous, an old man on the brass instruments, commence. Jason Lee Scott from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Aurico from Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, Tommy Oliver from Power Rangers Zeo, Theodore Jay “TJ” Jarvis Johnson from Power Rangers Turbo, Andros from Power Rangers in Space, Leo Corbett from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Carter Grayson from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Wesley “Wes” Collins, Alex Drake, and Eric Myers from Power Rangers Time Force; and Cole Evans from Power Rangers Wild Force emerge from backstage all dressed in red t-shirts with their names imprinted on them, crimson pants, and black rubber shoes to greet the audience.) Jason, Aurico, Tommy, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Hey, everybody! Jason (to the audience): All right, everybody, we hope you all enjoy the show. Tommy (to the audience): So, let’s not waste any more time, and let’s rap! Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Right! (The eleven Red Power Rangers start dancing by moving their hips, moving side to side while clapping, moving their hands from side to side, and doing a few turns. They then form their first formation, with Jason in the front and Tommy following behind him.) Jason: My name’s Jason, and I am the OG! Leading my team is no easy feat! Tommy: Yo, I’m Tommy the dude with mad moves! Putties better run before I do my groove! Hiya si hiya! Ayah si hey! Choo! Choo! Hai! Hee! Hey! Oh! (Tommy does a series of punches, high kicks, knife-hand strikes, and spear-hand strikes and lands his final pretend punch on Aurico. Aurico pretends to be hurt by holding his nose, and Tommy has an exaggerated expression of shock. After that display, the eleven Red Rangers continue to dance and form another formation, with all eleven of them lined up in a straight line, before Aurico steps up front.) Aurico: My name is Aurico And I’d like you to know That you are not alone When we run the show. TJ: ‘Sup I’m TJ! I’m always on the go. Shifting into turbo truly brightens my day! (Aurico and TJ swing their hips left and right before all eleven Red Power Rangers dance by moving left and right and doing light kicks to the front. Eric remains standing, as the ten other Red Rangers squat to the ground.) Eric: The name is Eric And I win every hour With my super awesome Quantum Power! (Eric makes a step to the left and pulls his arms back with his fists clenched. He opens his hands wide, moving them from side to side. Finally, Eric leaps into the air with a spinning kick, lands down with two front punches, raises his arms, and crouches down before Wes stands up.) Wes: Hey, I’m Wes! And I’m feeling great! Protecting and serving are my prime mandates! (Wes puts his left foot to one side, his right foot to the other side, and does a small leap before stretching his arms up high and the remaining ten Red Power Rangers stand up to dance by moving from side to side. They crouch down with Alex standing up.) Alex: My name is Alex And there’s no place to run ‘Til my comrades and I get our duties done! Hyah! Eyah! Ho! Shoo! To! Yah! Choo! Yah! Hai! Ho! Hai! YAH! (Alex launches front punches, knife-hand strikes, and a huge roundhouse kick, thus demonstrating that he is not a man to mess with. After Alex’s martial arts display, the eleven Red Power Rangers make a new formation, with Andros in the center and Cole in the right.) Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: Here comes Andros looking absolutely fly! Andros: Justice and peace will never leave us dry! Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Leo, Carter Wes, Alex, and Eric: Look! There’s Cole with his great big heart! Cole: These guys have helped me improve my martial arts! (Cole bows, gets into his fighting stance, and does a knife-hand strike as if he were breaking a board.) Leo: My name’s Leo, and I roar really loud. Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole: We do the right thing, and it makes us really proud! Last comes Carter, and we’re all complete! Carter: We’re heroes through and through, and it feels mighty sweet! (Tommy, Jason, Aurico, TJ, Andros, Leo, Carter, Wes, Alex, Eric, and Cole jump around in circles standing straight while the “Go, Go, Power Rangers! Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!” chords play. After jumping around, all eleven Red Power Rangers face the front and extend their arms up in the air with smiles on their faces. The audience claps loudly. All eleven Red Power Rangers take their bows.)
