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.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Baki and Eric being great friends, the firmest of brothers-in-arms, and the sturdiest of warriors grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Eric’s and Baki’s handsomely dynamic and exquisitely virile brotherhood that witnesses how formidable they are as warriors, comrades, and blood brothers, considering how Eric’s peerless stealth compliments Baki’s gigantic musculature. Eric is an unconventional Red Ranger renowned for his ability to lead a police force, the Silver Guardians, as the commander and plays by his own rules as the Time Force Rangers’ red-clad Quantum Ranger while also being an ally to them. His unparalleled skills in martial arts, military warfare, and police organization are highly aspirational to the point where fresh-faced trainees look to Eric as their role model. This is especially true when they want to have a vocation working with the Silver Guardians under Eric’s supervision. Baki may be a mixed martial artist who has been growing in muscle mass, super strength, and virile musculature and is renowned for these physical traits. Nevertheless, he remains awestruck when Eric presents himself as a formidable cop who takes no rubbish from anybody. To Eric, Baki initially appears to be a massively muscled yet simple-minded lummox who can only understand blows to the head and chokeholds to the throat. However, Baki proves Eric wrong when he uses his super strength, magnificent muscles, and unbeatable combat skills to stomp out criminals from violating innocent civilians. Eric and Baki have a partnership that entails combining professionalism in the field of law enforcement with unrelenting trust on a personal level. It may be astounding to have Baki hold dirty criminals using his array of chokeholds and Full Nelsons while having Eric beat the ever-loving daylights out of them before hauling their pathetic behinds to jail. Nonetheless, the excitement of seeing crime stopped in a hardcore fashion is only half of what defines Eric’s and Baki’s formidably strong bond as a duo of virile warriors. Overlooking Eric’s tough outer shell as a cop and Baki’s massively muscled frame as an all-out fighter in the ring, they both possess more sympathetic sides when it comes to protecting innocent people. Eric may not admit it, but Baki’s simple charm can get him out of his shell to show a more brotherly side. Eric can even prove to Baki that there is more to combat prowess than massive muscle power. Therefore, Eric and Baki appreciate each other for their interpersonal strength and their unwavering will to safeguard anybody in danger and will always stay loyal to 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.

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.

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Kiibo and Wes being great friends, unconditionally loving brothers from other mothers or fathers in this case, and extremely brotherly companions grand. Sit back, relax, and revel in Wes’s and Kiibo’s beautifully powerful and excellently mighty brotherhood who can prove that they are best brothers until the end, despite the both of them having two completely different fathers. Wes is a phenomenal combination of heroism, altruism, charisma, and courage that make him a truly amazing Red Ranger. He sees the best in his comrades and friends, thus treating them like family with all of his heart, mind, and soul. Wes’s strong moral code and his equally strong connections with his fellow Time Force Rangers are what challenge him to be the bravest and staunchest hero he can be, especially to the lives he and his fellow Time Force Power Rangers rescue on a nearly ritualistic basis. Kiibo also shares Wes’s courage, altruism, heroism, and love for life as the Red Time Force Inuranger, thus showing that he can be as strong and fearless as he is, thus carrying his comrades out of compromising situations. Wes sees an enthusiastic and mighty mixed martial artist full of determination in Kiibo and wants to keep encouraging him to be the best combatant he can be inside the octagonal cage, arena, or ring and outside. As both Wes and Kiibo see each other’s strengths and benevolent traits, they form a brotherly bond based on fraternal love and a great encouragement to challenge each other’s personal bests. Wes and Kiibo truly cherish each other not just as best friends but, most of all, as brothers from other mothers and fathers. Wes has always expressed his desire to have a younger brother just as much as Kiibo expresses his desire to have an older brother. Sure, Wes is a sportsman mostly renowned in baseball, football, basketball, and track-and-field, while Kiibo is a mixed martial artist specializing in the Nanshin Shadow style. However, what brings Wes and Kiibo together is their desire to grow into the best versions of themselves, thus holding nothing back. They would even have intense training sessions with Power-Chan Number One, despite the excruciating pain they both feel. Even their respective fathers, Mr. Albert Collins and Seiko “Oton” Miyazawa, can see just how strong Wes’s and Kiibo’s brotherly bond is. Furthermore, given Oton’s massively muscular size, he even ends up as Mr. Collins’s bodyguard, much to Wes’s and Kiibo’s delight. Wes even promises Kiibo that he will always be the best older brother figure he can be just as Kiibo will be his best brother for life. Their brotherhood is truly unbreakable. 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 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.

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 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 Character Replaces Character in this Scene” meme template originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody rooting for Tommy Oliver’s and Inuyasha’s genuine friendship, let alone brotherhood. This is also considering that Tommy serves as Uncle Phil to Inuyasha’s Will in the iconic scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Excuse.” Sit back, relax, and revel in the final part of this feels trip. Prepare your tissues because this is going to be a very tough read to endure, especially if you have seen the real-life Fresh Prince episode “Papa’s Got a Brand New Excuse.” You knew this was coming. There was no way you could escape this iconic yet tear-jerking moment, especially when Tommy and Inuyasha embody this scene between Uncle Phil and Will. I am talking about Will’s tirade which culminates in his tearful breakdown and, eventually, Uncle Phil’s comforting embrace, thus assuring Will that there is somebody there for him. This is the same assurance that the greatest Power Ranger of all time, Tommy Oliver, will give to the mighty dog Yokai warrior with an attitude, Inuyasha. Just like Uncle Phil is toward Will, Tommy is the rock in Inuyasha’s life way more than the four losers who should no longer be mentioned here. Yes, Tommy may put up with Inuyasha’s impulsiveness and rowdiness. Yes, Inuyasha may find himself rough-housing with Tommy. However, Tommy and Inuyasha possess a thoroughly unbreakable brotherhood that sees these two mighty warriors rise above their trials and emerge triumphantly as stronger people. Furthermore, Tommy’s presence in Inuyasha’s life is also proof-positive that even strong warriors like them can have their vulnerable moments. As soon as Inuyasha’s four so-called friends leave him to stew in his deep-seated anger and sadness, he stands there feeling helpless inside. Tommy shares in Inuyasha’s sorrow, standing with his arms crossed. “I’m sorry, Inuyasha.” Inuyasha tries to brush what has happened off with his trademark rough charisma, “Feh. You know actually this works out better for me. You know, there’s a lot of monsters and demons that need a good clobbering, you know what I’m saying?” Tommy can see right through Inuyasha’s hidden sorrow, “Inuyasha, it’s all right to be angry.” Inuyasha still tries to put up a front, “Hey. Why should I be mad? At least they said they don’t need me anymore. I just wish I hadn’t wasted my time with those stupid beads!” As he is saying that, Inuyasha snatches the Beads of Subjugation from Tommy and rips them apart, with them falling to the ground. Inuyasha’s anger is still being built up, while Tommy stands there with sorrow in his eyes. “I’m sorry. You know, if there was something that I-” Inuyasha cuts him off, “Hey, you know what? You don’t have to do anything, Tommy. It’s not like I’ve been always tied to them like their pet dog being ordered around, you know? It’s not like I have to lose sleep every night knowing that they could be in danger at any moment, die from any threat much stronger than them, and it would’ve been all my fault if I wasn’t there to save their useless butts, you know? Who needs ’em? They weren’t there when I was being shunned by both humans and demons because I was different from them, but I had to survive and cut my own path. And I got damn good at what I did, Tommy.” Tommy agrees, “Yeah, you were.” Inuyasha continues with his tirade, as his pent-up anger turns to wild frustration, “I got through defending myself from all types of danger without them, right? I learned how to look fear in the eye, build my own strength, hunt for my own food, take down bigger and scarier demons without them, and use my full-demon blood to my advantage. I had spent my entire life protecting myself! They never even gave a damn that I was hurting so much from trying to protect them! TO HELL WITH THEM!!!!!” Inuyasha yelled out that aforementioned phrase in the same direction Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou were walking. All Tommy can do is put his head down in sorrow, as his lips wobbled. After that moment of sheer frustration, Inuyasha attempts to walk away with tears almost about to flow from his eyes. “I didn’t need them then, and I don’t need them now!” Tommy tries to stop Inuyasha, “Inuyasha.” Inuyasha faces Tommy, “Look, you know what, Tommy. I’m gonna destroy Naraku without them! I’m gonna finally show Sesshoumaru that I am just as powerful as he is as his brother! I’m gonna mangle that mangy wolf Kouga! I’m gonna win over Ayame! I’m gonna marry Ayame! And I’m gonna have a whole bunch of beautiful kids with Ayame! I’m gonna be a great husband to her, a great dad to all our kids, and a greater role model than any of those losers ever were! And I sure as Hell don’t need them for their approval ’cause there ain’t a damn thing they can understand about how willing I am to protect those I give a damn about!!!” Tommy’s expression goes from sorrow to almost breaking down in tears after taking in all of Inuyasha’s pain, frustration, sadness, and grief. Inuyasha breaks down in tears, “How come they keep using me, man?” Tommy wraps Inuyasha in a tight hug, comforting him in his moment of vulnerability. Inuyasha also hugs Tommy, as tears flow from his eyes after many years of being unloved, rejected, used, bullied, and abused. While Tommy and Inuyasha are hugging, the broken Beads of Subjugation remain on the grassy ground. All the moments of torment that Inuyasha has been enduring under Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo are gone and will never return to him again. At least Tommy and Inuyasha have each other as best friends and brothers for life. Goodness me. This was such a roller-coaster ride to get through. I have always envisioned this…
This “What if Character Replaces Character in this Scene” meme template originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who believes that it is a wonderful idea for Tommy to call out the four losers known as Miroku, Sango, Kagome Higurashi, and Shippou and their hypocritical falsehood toward Inuyasha. This is also considering that Tommy calls the four losers out akin to how Uncle Phil does a similar deed to Lou Smith from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Excuse.” Sit back, relax, and revel in the first part of this feels trip. I always insist that Inuyasha’s 100th episode “The Truth Behind the Nightmare: Battle in the Forest of Sorrow” still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth the more I watch it. Every time I watch this episode, I am constantly reminded of how Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou should have developed a higher sense of compassion and understanding toward Inuyasha. Instead, they still treated him like nothing more than their pathetic lapdog, even after their lives were in great peril under Garamaru’s poisoned cocoons. The epilogue encapsulates everything I despise, loathe, and abhor about Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou. They were nothing more than shiftless liars, vile manipulators, and abject pieces of toxic waste toward Inuyasha, considering that they had taken him for granted. I do not even blame Inuyasha for being overly suspicious of those four losers’ hypocrisy and thinly veiled falseness toward him. Then again, fans of Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou are also to blame for being way too blind to notice the red flags and just ignorantly cruising along with them being toxic allies to Inuyasha. If there is one man who can try to set these four lying hypocrites straight, it has to be none other than the Power Rangers legend himself, Tommy Oliver. Yes, Tommy possessing the moniker of the greatest Power Ranger ever may appear to be quite an amazing stretch. However, considering his growth from the new dude to Rita’s malevolently brainwashed pawn to redeemed hero to full-time hero to leader to mentor, he had quite the odyssey to endure during his long tenure as a Power Ranger. From being the Green Dragonzord Ranger to the White Tigerzord Ranger to the Red Zeo Ranger to the first Red Turbo Ranger in the Saban era as well as the Black Dino Thunder Ranger in the Disney era, Tommy has seen it all and done it all. He may be a hero on his own accord, but he could never have achieved being a hero without the help of his great friends. Unlike the four losers known as Miroku the cheating monk, Sango the stupid demon slayer, Kagome the crappy main heroine, and Shippou the terrible excuse of a Kitsune, Tommy is always true to himself and to the people he holds nearest and dearest to him. I can imagine Tommy being the Uncle Phil to Miroku’s, Sango’s, Kagome’s, and Shippou’s Lou because they represent different sides of seeking pro-social relationships. Tommy would never make lame excuses to his comrades, friends, and allies, thus sticking to his word and never giving up on them. Miroku’s, Sango’s, Kagome’s, and Shippou’s bond with Inuyasha may appear to be defeating Naraku, but they constantly treat Inuyasha like their lapdog without giving him space to be himself. What is worse is that Kagome’s constant sit commands are enabled by Miroku, Sango, and Shippou because Inuyasha does not heed her beck and call, and they think that he is two-timing with Kikyou. I have already made it clear that neither Miroku nor Sango nor Kagome nor Shippou understood the depth of Inuyasha’s pain, loss, and trauma of losing Kikyou before she was unfairly resurrected. Furthermore, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou are incapable fighters and fail miserably without Inuyasha coming into the rescue. Tommy will definitely have his work cut out for him in putting those four losers in their place. Tommy calling out Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou occurs in Episode 100’s epilogue. As opposed to the four phonies claiming that they are grateful for Inuyasha for “saving them” and about to walk away, Tommy takes Inuyasha to the side to release him of those horrible Beads of Subjugation. Once that is done, the showdown between Inuyasha’s true friend almost like a big brother against the four hypocrites begins. Tommy does not need to be a super genius to understand that Inuyasha has endured a lot of physical and psychological pain. Yes, Inuyasha is a dog Yokai warrior with an attitude, but even he cannot escape the abuse Kagome inflicts on him and the enabling that Miroku, Sango, and Shippou partake in. He saved their butts, but they still choose to treat him like their lapdog. Therefore, Tommy did the unthinkable. He tore off the Beads of Subjugation from Inuyasha for good and for all. “Wow! That is amazing, Tommy.” “Don’t mention it, Inuyasha. I’m just trying to help.” “Well, thanks a lot, man.” Finally having those accursed Beads of Subjugation removed off of Inuyasha is like a millstone gone from his life for good. It is thanks to Tommy’s help that he can feel free. He did not ask for it to begin with, but he can sense that Tommy’s intentions are genuine, pure, and noble aside from being a formidable warrior himself. Now, all Tommy must to do is to reprimand Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou for constantly lying and deceiving Inuyasha. “You’re not gonna do those combos on them are you, Tommy? Because I don’t wanna miss that!” Tommy sighs, “No, Inuyasha. Not at this moment.” Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou are about to walk away from Tommy and Inuyasha. They think they could get away with giving Inuyasha a half-hearted token of gratitude for saving them from Garamaru’s clutches. However, Tommy is not having any of it. Just as the four deceitful liars are about to depart, Tommy is ready to give them his ultimatum. “Stay where…
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.
