Alexander’s and TJ’s Charismatic Warmth

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

Toran’s and Jason’s Stupendous Endurance

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.

Inuyasha’s and Tommy’s Legendary Formidability

This “What if Person became Friends” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to everybody who finds the idea of Inuyasha and Tommy being the best of friends, the closest of brothers from other mothers, and possessing a bond that rivals the father figure-surrogate son relationship between Uncle Phil and Will, especially with Tommy taking on Uncle Phil’s mantle and Inuyasha taking on Will’s role. Sit back, relax, and revel in Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s unparalleled genuineness as brothers until the end. I know I already talked about why I believe Inuyasha is a more credible fit for Tommy’s leadership role and long-lasting legacy as the greatest Power Ranger of all time from all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Wild Force’s “Forever Red”, despite being the leader of the Mighty Morphin Inurangers like Jason Lee Scott is to his real-life Mighty Morphin Power Rangers counterparts. However, it is worth reiterating that Inuyasha is just as much of the face of the Inurangers franchise as Tommy is to the Power Rangers franchise. Where Tommy appeared in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, the first half of Power Rangers Turbo, and led his fellow Red Rangers in “Forever Red”, Inuyasha appeared in all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Inurangers always as the Red Ranger leader, one team-up episode in Inurangers Zeo, one team-up episode in Inurangers in Space, and led his fellow Red Rangers in the Inurangers version of “Forever Red.” Therefore, Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s shared legacies as the greatest Rangers and heroes ever are thoroughly earned. Their earned reputations of being the greatest Rangers ever from their respective universes are coupled with their outstanding physical endurance. Tommy is unbeatable combat prowess incarnate, and Inuyasha is all magnificently muscular super strength, especially when they spar with each other in Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, and Combat Sambo. Inuyasha would not even hesitate to put Tommy in a physical ordeal by locking him in camel clutches, torture racks, power slams, and Full Nelsons. In retaliation, Tommy would deliver Inuyasha a grand barrage of hammer fists, double axe handles, shin kicks, and roundhouse kicks. Even with all the attacks they inflict on each other, they would never flinch. Should any felon attempt to do physical harm against Tommy and Inuyasha, they would shower loads of pain on them. When it comes to Inuyasha’s tenure as a pro-wrestler with a background in Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, Combat Sambo, and Ssireum, Tommy would always cheer for him to triumph in any arena or ring he finds himself in against more physically formidable opponents. Tommy and Inuyasha are truly unstoppable. Both Tommy and Inuyasha also have older brothers, David in Tommy’s case and Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha’s case. While David’s and Tommy’s brotherly bond is harmonious, Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s brotherly bond is fraught with challenges and tension. Nevertheless, David and Sesshoumaru would see just how rich and profound Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s friendship, let alone brotherhood, truly is. Tommy is even brave enough to stand up to Sesshoumaru and speak his mind without flinching in terms of how he will always be there to protect Inuyasha, be the best brother of another mother he can be, and forbid Sesshoumaru from harming Inuyasha. David can only agree with Tommy, as he appeals to Sesshoumaru to think long and hard about his treatment of Inuyasha. Tommy’s unquestionable staunchness to Inuyasha and David’s support for Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s brotherhood earn Sesshoumaru’s respect and encouragement. Therefore, David expresses how proud Tommy is for standing up for Inuyasha, while Sesshoumaru encourages Tommy to stick by Inuyasha’s side as his closest friend. I mentioned earlier that Tommy would be the Uncle Phil to Inuyasha’s Will Smith, and their bond approaches Uncle Phil’s and Will’s father-son relationship. This makes Tommy the unconditionally loving and fiercely protective older brother figure to Inuyasha’s impulsively rowdy and fiercely charged-up younger brother. They would always be there to protect each other from harm and strife and remain unquestionably loyal to each other. Inuyasha would look up to Tommy because of his heroism, courage, strong leadership, and unparalleled combat prowess. Tommy would encourage Inuyasha as a fighter and as a person because of his super strength, heroic leadership, Olympic-level fortitude, and muscular virility. There is no doubt that Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s brotherly bond would see them grow from strength to strength. Tommy would do his best to put Inuyasha in the straight and narrow even when they clash heads. Inuyasha would also learn a lot from Tommy while also doing his part to encourage him as a fellow warrior. Together, Tommy and Inuyasha are always going to remain by each other’s side. 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. Inuyasha from Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. Tommy Oliver from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, and Power Rangers Turbo belongs to Saban and Toei.

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.

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.

The Toonami-Era Red Inurangers

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.

Tommy’s and Inuyasha’s True Brotherhood

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…

Tommy’s Verbal Showdown with the Four Losers

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…

Forever Red Epilogue Inurangers Style

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.

Inuyasha x Ayame: Red x Yellow Ranger Inspirations

This couple’s relationship inspirations meme originally belongs to MelSpyRose and is dedicated to all the wonderful shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the following couples: Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya, Eric x Taylor or Quantum Eagle, Leo x Maya or The Tribal Lions, and Andros x Ashley or The Space Rangers in Love. This is also dedicated to everybody willing to give Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger romances a shot and everybody who has been enjoying my Mighty Morphin Inurangers AU headcanon thus far. Sit back, relax, and revel in the Saban-Era Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger romantic couples that constitute Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s almighty, omnipotent, and unbeatable bond as a canine Yokai power couple. My Mighty Morphin Inurangers AU headcanon has established that Inuyasha is the super strong, hot-blooded, choleric Red Ranger leader and Ayame is the fabulously fierce, determined, resilient Yellow Ranger tomboy. Inuyasha embodies both Tommy Oliver’s and Jason Lee Scott’s victorious brands of leadership, strength, courage, and virility. Therefore, he possesses Tommy’s iconic popularity as the greatest Power Ranger ever for all three Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seasons, specifically when he led the team during Season 2’s second half and all of Season 3, with a hint of Zeo and Turbo during his later Red Ranger tenures and Jason’s courageous leadership as the original Red Ranger for the first two MMPR seasons. Ayame embodies both Trini Kwan’s warmth, dedication, and compassion and Aisha Campbell’s sass, courage, and persistence with a hint of Tanya Sloan’s genuineness, thus possessing Trini’s, Aisha’s, and Tanya’s best qualities during their respective times on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. There is no doubt that Tommy, Jason, Trini, Aisha, and Tanya will be happy for Inuyasha and Ayame. Inuyasha’s ownership of Tommy’s long-staying power as the greatest Ranger ever and Jason’s virile courage as the original Red Ranger leader as well as Ayame’s ownership of Trini’s warm dedication as the original Yellow Ranger, Aisha’s persistent sass as the second Yellow Ranger, and Tanya’s noble valor from the last half of Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers all the way up to Zeo and the first half of Turbo signify two great bonds in store for Inuyasha and Ayame respectively. Inuyasha easily considers Tommy and Jason to be the best big brothers from other mothers he can always look up to, while Ayame cherishes her sisterhood with Trini, Aisha, and Tanya. While Inuyasha is grateful for Tommy’s and Jason’s unconditional brotherhood and Ayame is blessed for Trini’s, Aisha’s, and Tanya’s unbreakable sisterhood, this is where all of their similarities as Rangers end. This is attributed to Tommy and Jason solely possessing platonic relationships with Trini, Aisha, and Tanya during their tenures as Red Rangers and Yellow Rangers. At least Inuyasha and Ayame have three Red Ranger x Yellow Ranger couples they can wholly emulate. Inuyasha may possess Tommy’s long-lasting popularity in the Power Rangers franchise and Jason’s indomitable leadership skills, but he also possesses Eric Myers’ leonine steeliness, Leo Corbett’s virile valor, and Andros’ stealthy courage. Ayame may be imbued with Trini’s warm compassion, Aisha’s resilient sass, and Tanya’s pure loyalty, but she also has Taylor Earhardt’s fierce combat prowess, Maya’s sterling bravery, and Ashley’s radiant kindness in her arsenal. What Eric, Leo, and Andros possess as Red Rangers and what Taylor, Maya, and Ashley bear as Yellow Rangers are what also solidify them as couples, specifically Eric x Taylor, Leo x Maya, and Andros x Ashley. Moreover, Eric’s and Taylor’s indomitable will to challenge themselves, Leo’s and Maya’s unwavering courage to fight for justice, and Andros’ and Ashley’s peerlessly unconditional love for each other are the traits necessary for Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s romantic relationship as a canine Yokai power couple to thrive and flourish. Eric, Leo, Andros, Taylor, Maya, and Ashley will be supportive of Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s romance and will champion them together. Eric Myers the red-clad Quantum Ranger and Taylor Earhardt the yellow-clad Soaring Eagle Ranger embody all the combat prowess, fighting spirit, and military toughness that Inuyasha and Ayame need to lead the Northern Yoro Tribe to victory against invaders and conquest against marauders. Both Eric and Taylor do exceptional jobs in imbuing Inuyasha and Ayame with abundant fortitude, steeliness, and toughness to make all of their opponents surrender. Eric’s and Taylor’s signature steely fortitude is what also motivates Inuyasha and Ayame to challenge their personal bests and embrace every challenge they encounter in their lives as the King and Queen of the Northern Yoro Tribe. In return, Inuyasha and Ayame find themselves thoroughly subscribing to Eric’s and Taylor’s military strength and leonine combat prowess as warriors. Furthermore, both Eric and Taylor as well as Inuyasha and Ayame bear huge quantities of passionate sexual tension aside from leading their troops to victory complete with iron fists. Inuyasha and Ayame would easily emulate Eric’s and Taylor’s leonine formidability as a power couple. Leo Corbett the Red Galaxy Ranger and Maya of Mirinoi the Yellow Galaxy Ranger capitalize on dutiful responsibility, benevolent leadership, and heroic courage for Inuyasha and Ayame to grow both individually as warriors and together as a power couple. Because Inuyasha and Ayame have a great responsibility to their tribe and to all of their fourteen children, Leo and Maya would ensure that they are on a good track and serve as great confidants. This is because Leo and Maya also have duties to protect and serve the citizens of Terra Venture and Mirinoi, thanks to their courageous leadership as chief and chieftainess of both lands. Leo’s heroic courage and Maya’s valiant compassion are also the necessary traits for Inuyasha and Ayame to be more attentive leaders to their people as well as unconditionally loving parents to their children. Leo’s and Maya’s great duties as chief and chieftainess aside, they also possess tenderness and warmth as a couple, which makes them positive influences for Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s love lives. Inuyasha and Ayame would salute Leo’s and Maya’s heroic leadership with all their hearts. Andros of KO-35 the Red Space Ranger and Ashley Hammond…

Team Herculean Power Couple

This team meme originally belongs to Drago-Pantherforever and is dedicated to all of the wonderful shippers of Superman x Wonder Woman, Ryu x Chun-Li, Ken x Cammy, Roy x Riza, Eric x Taylor, Inuyasha x Ayame, and Raymond x Alex as well as those entertained by the thought of these seven power couples forming their own epic team. Sit back, relax, and absorb all of Team Herculean Power Couple’s potent might and boundless fortitude as a septet of power couples willing to stomp out demons, monsters, alien invaders, poachers, and criminals. There is no greater pleasure in the world than witnessing seven power couples band together to build each other up in physical fortitude and use their physical prowess to protect those nearest and dearest to them, overcome their opponents, and empower people through self-defense and perseverance. One power couple is never enough for impeccable synergy and potent formidability, for a band of seven power couples is what the world needs to stay safe from various threats. All seven power couples work as a unit based on fortitude, super strength, persistence, tenacity, courage, indomitability, and triumph. They additionally pass on these seven attributes to people who desire to be just as formidable as they are. Aside from their valiant attributes, all seven power couples look amazing together in their own special ways, especially when masculine muscularity complements feminine fierceness. Therefore, let us be acquainted with the positions that each power couple attain in this group. Some will be obvious, while others will be surprising. Pump up your high supplies of adrenaline and marvel at this power couple team. Superman x Wonder Woman: The Indestructible Leaders Leading this band of super power couples are none other than Kal-El of Krypton and Diana of Themyscira aka Superman and Wonder Woman. All types of sovereigns will show reverence to Superman and Wonder Woman because they represent civil servitude, boundless duty, abundant honor, and peerless heroism. Superman’s virile courage and Wonder Woman’s abundant valor are what make their team thoroughly formidable against squalor, cruelty, hopelessness, and destruction because they anchor their teammates to be a lot more than they think they are. Superman’s and Wonder Woman’s mythically epic strength and incredible physical prowess challenge their teammates’ abilities in a miraculous manner, especially in their signature hybrid martial art that mixes Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, and Ancient Greek Combatives that can venerate all of Mount Olympus’s gods and goddesses. However, their boundless encouragement and indestructible valor are what motivate them and keep them safe against potentially cruel threats from demons to criminals. Ryu x Chun-Li: The Honorable Martial Artists Honor and integrity are not just slogans that Ryu and Chun-Li shout over the clamor on a daily basis. They live their lives based on their most important traits as martial artists and as people. Ryu and Chun-Li know that fighting without honor, respect, responsibility, discipline, integrity, truth, and honesty is meaningless, as they have no time for counterproductive ego-measuring and obnoxious brawls. Ryu prefers to physically challenge himself with anybody who can measure up to him, while Chun-Li favors using her martial arts skills to protect the innocent from oppression. When joined together, Ryu and Chun-Li implement justice, peace, compassion, honor, truth, integrity, and responsibility to give martial artists and law officials alike reasons to protect and serve people and their country. Their core values are also evident in Ryu’s and Chun-Li’s fearsome formidability and winsome willpower in their signature Ansatsuken. It mixes Shotokan Karate, Goju-Ryu Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Nippon Kenpo, Dutch Kickboxing, Judo, and Jujutsu to destroy enemies and cultivate comradeships as its primary components. Ken x Cammy: The Valiant Combatants Courage and valor are the traits that Ken and Cammy live by from sunup to sundown. Neither Ken nor Cammy will stop at nothing to consistently challenge themselves to be the best versions of who they are as combatants and as people. Just like Ryu and Chun-Li, both Ken and Cammy firmly believe that discipline, dedication, respect, responsibility, good attitude, self-confidence, and integrity should be the bedrocks of being a great fighter, not just techniques based on power, speed, and timing. Where Ken loves a good challenge with anybody physically stronger than he is, Cammy has specific choices of opponents worthy of her time and effort. When brought together, they not only wipe out the competition with their fiery formidability but also inspire ordinary people to challenge themselves to be extraordinary fighters. The combination of Ken’s and Cammy’s superb strength and blistering beauty is evident in their signature Ansatsuken that blends Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Wado-Ryu Karate, American Kenpo Karate, Dutch Kickboxing, Judo, and Jujutsu to construct their relentlessness. Roy x Riza: The Stealthy Soldiers Let the flames blaze and the bullets fly, for Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye are prepared to load up on their weapons and give their enemies a massive dose of extreme assassination. Aside from wiping out their enemies with a combination of Roy’s flame alchemy powers and Riza’s artillery skills, they serve as a military fortress to protect their fellow power couples from dastardly marauders and pernicious destroyers. Typhoons, invader tanks, and autocratic dictators may attempt to bring Roy and Riza down from the outside to the inside. However, Roy and Riza possess indomitable military command and steely determination empowered by their choices of weapons and skills to thoroughly wipe out their enemies, take no hostages, and accept no prisoners. Any invader foolish enough to besmirch Team Herculean Power Couple’s home shall be swiftly reprimanded by Roy and Riza. They hold nothing back in delivering severe ultimatums. Aside from Roy’s flame alchemy and Riza’s artillery prowess, they also specialize in Close Quarters Combat System, All-In Fighting, and Linear Involuntary Neural-override Engagement. Eric x Taylor: The Determined Power Rangers When enemies hear the battle cries of “Quantum Power!” and “Wild Access!”, it means that they should beg for their lives once Eric Myers and Taylor Earhardt strike with full abandon. Eric’s boldly manly virility as the Red…
