The Mighty Morphin Inurangers’ Movie Morphin Time

The Mighty Morphin Inurangers’ Movie Morphin Time

September 5, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

This “What if Character in Episode/Scene” meme originally belongs MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, and fans who highly admire Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. This is also dedicated to those who adore the thought of Shunran, Ginta, Hakkaku, Ayame, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha morphing into the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, especially in the style of the 1995 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. Sit back, relax, and soak in that nostalgia as you imagine Shunran, Ginta, Hakkaku, Ayame, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha transforming into the seven Mighty Morphin Inurangers in the style of the 1995 movie. Extra credit also has to go to GreenRangerPower456 for his edit in his video “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie with the Green Ranger”, so please check out the video and subscribe to their channel.

Imagine this scenario as a child of the early 2000s, specifically in 2001. Mighty Morphin Inurangers has ended its second season and a movie is about to be released to theatres. Mighty Morphin Inurangers the Movie would also serve as the tie-in to its third season, especially when the main seven gain new Ninjetti powers. One scene that would probably stick in several fans’ minds would be the movie’s version of the Morphin’ Time roll call. However, instead of Tommy Oliver the White Ranger leading the roll call, it is Inuyasha the Red Ranger who deservedly does so, as he has been maintaining his position as the Mighty Morphin Inurangers’ leader for two going on three seasons now. Therefore, Inurangers fans would never get enough of Inuyasha announcing the “It’s Morphin’ Time” roll call as the leader just like his MMPR Red Ranger predecessor Jason Lee Scott, and it would be a major nostalgia overload not only with Inuyasha but also his friends/family/colleagues Shunran, Ginta, Hakkaku, Ayame, Shuran, and Sesshoumaru as the Pink, Blue, Black, Yellow, Green, and White Rangers respectively. This also means that they are ready to take down their universe’s version of Ivan Ooze portrayed by Magatsuhi.

Where the order of calls in the 1995 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers film was Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger, Rocky the Red Ranger, Adam the Black Ranger, Aisha the Yellow Ranger, and Tommy the White Ranger, the 2001 Mighty Morphin Inurangers film’s order of roll calls would be Shunran the Pink Pterodactyl Inuranger, Ginta the Blue Triceratops Inuranger, Hakkaku the Black Mastadon Inuranger, Ayame the Yellow Sabre-Toothed Tiger Inuranger, Shuran the Green Dragonzord Inuranger, Sesshoumaru the White Tigerzord Inuranger, and Inuyasha the Red Tyrannosaurus Inuranger. This also applies to when the rangers leap into the air before landing on the ground. Where the original film’s order of leaps had Tommy, Kimberly, Billy, Aisha, Adam, and Rocky, the Inuranger film’s order has Inuyasha, Ayame, Ginta, Shunran, Hakkaku, Shuran, and Sesshoumaru almost like the original Mighty Morphin Inurangers roll call but in reverse.

With that out of the way, let us traverse to this scene as portrayed by the seven Mighty Morphin Inurangers, especially when you imagine Jocelyne Loewen as Shunran, Paul Dobson as Ginta, Alastair Abell as Hakkaku, Natalie Walters as Ayame, Scott Logie as Shuran, David Kaye as Sesshoumaru, and Richard Ian Cox as Inuyasha and hear the Mighty Morphin Inurangers the Movie theme song playing in the background as they morph into the Inurangers.

(An abandoned landscape. Inuyasha is in the middle, Shunran is on his left side alongside Shuran, Hakkaku on his right alongside Sesshoumaru and Ayame, and Ginta rolls to Inuyasha’s direction before standing up.)

Ginta: Agh!

Ayame: Ginta!

(Magatsuhi’s demonic goons who are grotesquely slimy creatures corner the seven teenage Yokai warriors with attitude, as the creatures ferally snarl and bellow at the seven teenage Yokai.)

Shunran: They got us cornered.

Hakkaku: We can’t hold them off.

(The seven Inurangers are in their fighting stances ready to fight off Magatsuhi’s goons. Some more goons jump from above, while the Inurangers attempt to retreat.)

Sesshoumaru: There’s too many of them.

Shuran: What are we gonna do now?

Inuyasha: Let’s do it, guys!

Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran: Right!

Inuyasha: It’s morphin time!

(Thunder roars.)

Shunran: Pterodactyl!

(Shunran’s morpher glows with a screeching sound in the background, and she becomes the Pink Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Ginta: Triceratops!

(Ginta’s morpher glows with a growling sound in the background, and he becomes the Blue Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Hakkaku: Mastodon!

(Hakkaku’s morpher glows with a trumpeting sound in the background, and he becomes the Black Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Ayame: Sabre-toothed Tiger!

(Ayame’s morpher glows with a roaring sound in the background, and she becomes the Yellow Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Shuran: Green Dragon!

(Shuran’s morpher glows with a blazing flame sound in the background, and he becomes the Green Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Sesshoumaru: White Tiger!

(Sesshoumaru’s morpher glows with a howling wind sound in the background, and he becomes the White Mighty Morphin Inuranger.)

Inuyasha: Tyrannosaurus!

(Inuyasha’s morpher glows with a snarling sound in the background, and he becomes the Red Mighty Morphin Inuranger. He leaps into the air followed by Ayame, Ginta, Shunran, Hakkaku, Shuran, and Sesshoumaru.)

Inuyasha: EYAH!

Ayame: YAH!

Ginta: YOAH!

Shunran: HYAH!

Hakkaku: HWAH!

Shuran: RAAAH!

Sesshoumaru: SIHYAH!

(All seven Mighty Morphin Inurangers land in the ground.)

I did this in preparation of a piece of fan art I have in store the seven Mighty Morphin Inurangers. It is still work in progress, but I am utterly excited to complete it.

I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect, everybody.

My Top Five Splendid Seven Romantic Combat Spars

September 4, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be focusing on my top five most favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in martial arts sparring forms. There will be three pairings I consider my most beloved OTPs of all time, two pairings I consider to be my most loved pairings, and all of them are heterosexual pairings.
 
It is said that romantic love means two people must delegate the work in a fair manner in order to overcome any and every obstacle that comes along their way. Therefore, it not only takes two to do the tango of destruction but also working together in order to ensure each others’ safety and well-being. Since this is The Splendid Seven we are talking about, I am certain that my five most favourite pairings would never hesitate to let off some steam and let their opponents bleed profusely. With that said, osu! Hajime!
 
Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): Sinuously Sensual; Ferociously Formidable
As a beautifully intimate couple, there is nothing that Inuyasha and Ayame could ever hide from each other whether in the bedroom or in the battlefield. They have cultivated a harmonious relationship based on trust, synergy, unconditional love, and compassion, thus making them build a truly united family based on those aforementioned principles. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s abundantly unconditional love is also well-transferred to how they have perfected every punch, kick, strike, takedown, and submission hold to do as much damage to all of their foes as possible. Nobody can ever beat them down even if they tried.
  1. Kapu Kuialua vs Hapkido
  2. Pankration vs Koppojutsu
  3. Bokator vs Boxing
  4. American Kenpo Karate vs Taido
  5. Zendokai Karate vs Kickboxing
  6. Shidokan Karate vs Nippon Kenpo
  7. Seidokaikan Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo
 
Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): Gorgeously Good-Humoured; Ruthlessly Rapid
The sky is the limit whenever Hakkaku and Shunran enter the scene with their positive outlook on love, life, and their overall livelihood as martial artists and as individuals. They truly trust each other with their lives, their souls, their hearts, and their overall beings and will never leave each other in the dust, thus creating an unconditionally loving bond based on good vibes, love, and allegiance. Every positive trait Hakkaku and Shunran have together is also used whenever they go into battle against various opponents, especially attributed to Hakkaku’s crushing clinches and Shunran’s stirring strikes coming into full, lively motion.
  1. Muay Boran vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  2. Pradal Serey vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  3. Kajukenbo vs Savate
  4. Panantukan vs Capoeira
  5. Dambe vs Wing Chun
  6. Moraingy vs Aikido
  7. Taekkyeon vs Ninjutsu
 
Ginta x Shunran (OTP): Elegantly Ebullient; Vociferously Vivacious
Harmony, beauty, love, joy, prosperity, abundance, and kindness are the hallmarks of what make Ginta and Shunran thrive sweetly and lovingly together. They do their very best to better each other through patience and endurance and would never think about betraying each other let alone manipulate each other for selfish means. While Ginta and Shunran are sweetly cuddly towards each other, they would never wish to hold back on their attacks against every foe they come across. Should their foe tamper with their harmony, they would be at the mercy of Ginta’s and Shunran’s rich repertoire of deadly punches, kicks, and strikes.
  1. Lethwei vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  2. Sanda vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  3. Pencak Silat vs Savate
  4. Jeet Kune Do vs Capoeira
  5. Eagle Claw Kung Fu vs Wing Chun
  6. Hwa Rang Do vs Aikido
  7. Tang Soo Do vs Ninjutsu
 
Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): Beautifully Bodacious; Dedicatedly Determined
When Sesshoumaru and Ayame band together, their enemies better be prepared to recite a series of prayers before being at the receiving end of their various attacks. This is because both Sesshoumaru and Ayame live their lives with discipline, allegiance, respect, cooperation, confidence, relentlessness, and ambition. They truly care about ensuring that they do not sell themselves short on what they could truly accomplish both individually and together as well as genuinely appreciating each other for their valour and their courage. Furthermore, Sesshoumaru and Ayame make a powerful fighting duo full of lethal strikes and takedowns.
  1. Brazilian Jujitsu vs Hapkido
  2. Judo vs Koppojutsu
  3. Mixed Martial Arts vs Boxing
  4. Taekwondo vs Taido
  5. Kudo Karate vs Kickboxing
  6. Enshin Karate vs Nippon Kenpo
  7. Ashihara Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo
 
Shuran x Shunran (Loved Pairing): Joyously Jovial; Lovably Luscious
The combination of a hulking giant such as Shuran and a lithe mage such as Shunran is nothing completely novel, but how they manage to effectively collaborate with each other to defeat various opponents is nothing short of phenomenal. Shuran’s fierce protectiveness and Shunran’s ebullient jolliness is only second to their wonderful range of combo attacks. Should Shuran throw a piledriver on their foes, Shunran would gladly add salt to their injury by utilising her elbow strikes, punches, knee strikes, and, most of all, kicks. Aside from their fierce moves, Shuran and Shunran care for each other with allegiance, loyalty, and respect.
  1. Vale Tudo vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  2. Combat Sambo vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  3. Professional Wrestling vs Savate
  4. Ssireum vs Capoeira
  5. Mongolian Wrestling vs Wing Chun
  6. Sumo Wrestling vs Aikido
  7. Pehlwani vs Ninjutsu
 
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I would love to know which of these Splendid Seven romantic pairings in sparring form is your favourite. Until then, see you in the next submission, everybody.
The Pristinely Hunky Fighter Twin Sons

The Pristinely Hunky Fighter Twin Sons

September 3, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

This piece of Inuyasha x Ayame next-gen fan art is dedicated to all of the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame shippers of the world as well as those who fancy the idea of what their ideas of InuAya fan-made children would look like. Sit back, relax, and revel in Kazuhiko’s and Kaito’s gallant courage, fierce loyalty, and boundless strength as formidable fighting twin brothers.

This is my slight redesign of the 24 going on 25-year-old Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya twin sons Kazuhiko on the left and Kaito on the right because I was not too satisfied with what they initially looked like, and I thought it would be a great honour to give these valiantly powerful combatants a whole lot more love and appreciation when it comes to my InuAya next-gen characters. I gave them their father’s signature stripes and have them be just like their older brothers but still maintained their mother’s eye colour plus their father’s hair length plus hair colour. As for their shorts, I just thought it would be great to give them a crazy flame design to demonstrate that they are passionate fighters known for their speed, strength, stamina, and spunk, especially in Kickboxing, Pankration, Boxing, Full-Contact Karate from Kyokushin to Shidokan, Kapu Kuialua, Bokator, and Judo. Therefore, Kazuhiko and Kaito prove themselves to be determined, formidable, and gallant fighters who combine physical strength, peerless combat prowess, and adamant stamina to protect the ones they are happy to call their friends and family and never give up from any battle they are situated in.

24 going on 25-year-old Kazuhiko and Kaito were born on December 14, which was nine days after their father’s birthday as well as being born in the same month as their brothers. 15-year-old Inuyasha and 12-year-old Ayame were blessed at the birth of their third-born sons and knew that they were destined for greatness. When Kazuhiko and Kaito emerged from their mother’s womb, it was already evident that their strength was legendary, considering how effortlessly they could turn pebbles into fine dust with their tiny fists. Masataka, Masaya, Masaru, Kenta, and Keita were very happy to have younger brothers they could call their own and were excited of the prospects of being the close-knit brothers that they want to be. In fact, Kazuhiko and Kaito grew from adorably precocious little boys who loved to have a go at various martial arts from Pankration to Wrestling to Boxing to Full-Contact Karate to Judo to competing in various martial arts tournaments in their tweens and teens to further sharpening their combat skills as a means to protect their family, their friends, and everybody they consider nearest and dearest to them all while punishing their enemies with their furious fists, fleet feet, magnificent muscles, grand grappling skills, and superb stamina all in their late teens until their current adult years. They have perfected their punches, kicks, grapples, takedowns, submission holds, strikes, and clinches as Yokai warriors who use their skills to protect and serve the Northern Yoro Tribe, the Western Lands, and the Panther Tribe with all of their hearts, never for false prestige.

Kazuhiko and Kaito are practitioners in Pankration, Kickboxing, Full-Contact Karate, Boxing, Kapu Kuialua, Bokator, and Judo who are known for their ferocious fierceness, super strength, mighty muscles, and everlasting endurance. These traits are what power their uppercuts, hooks, jabs, front punches, reverse punches, roundhouse kicks, side kicks, spinning axe kicks, clinch attacks, submission holds, takedowns, chokeholds, Boston Crabs, bearhugs, and arm bars to their highest possible level. Ethics are what also have an advantage on Kazuhiko and Kaito as fighters, for they enjoy training with their siblings and their parents every waking morning and do their absolute best to ensure that they are in peak physical, mental, and spiritual condition in order to greet every challenge with open arms. Therefore, they show dedication, discipline, and determination as fighters and as individuals. Aside from their great moral ethics as fighters, they are also just as dedicated in their married lives as husbands to Ginta’s and Shunran’s 20-year-old twin daughters Kokoro and Katsuho who they have been married to ever since the former twins were 17 and the latter twins were 12.

Personality-wise, Kazuhiko and Kaito are united in discipline, upright morality, dedication, determination, courage, fierceness, and loyalty, for they will never abandon anybody who they deem as important. They may share those traits to the nearest gram, but they still bear differences which, nevertheless, unite them amidst all the challenges and the trials. Kazuhiko is a headstrong soul who despises giving up even when opponents deign to batter him to a pulp and carries bundles of perseverance when the chips are down. Kaito is an ebullient combatant who enjoys seizing every opportunity possible to better himself as a fighter and as a person. Overlooking their penchant for never surrendering without a fight, Kazuhiko and Kaito are also nurturing and protective souls who put others’ needs first before their own, care for every living creature in nature, and show reverence and respect to their family, their friends, and their superiors.

In all of Kazuhiko’s and Kaito’s trials and triumphs, they stay fiercely loyal to each other and show undeterred perseverance in every battle, tournament, and ordeal they find themselves in. Strong physical prowess and dedicated determination are the dual heartbeats that define these twin brothers with all of their being, and respect, responsibility, well-established morality, loyalty, and allegiance are the attributes to create balance and synergy in the most harmonious way possible. Nothing can ever separate these two wonderfully genuine twin brothers.

I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Inuyasha x Ayame as well as their children, everybody.

Kazuhiko and Kaito belong to me.

The Superbly Strong Muscle Twin Sons (Redraw)

The Superbly Strong Muscle Twin Sons (Redraw)

September 2, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

This piece of Inuyasha x Ayame next-gen fan art is dedicated to all of the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame shippers of the world as well as those who fancy the idea of what their ideas of InuAya fan-made children would look like. Sit back, relax, and revel in Kenta’s and Keita’s virile manliness complete with a whole lot of muscles, toughness, and super strength, especially as a couple of rough-and-tumble muscle hunk twin brothers.

This is a redraw of my second-born 25 going on 26-year-old Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya twin sons Kenta on the left and Keita on the right. As usual, I did make some changes in terms of stripe position, but I still managed to maintain their overall muscular manliness as the muscle twins. Yes, the final product of this did come out as darker, considering that I did my best to colour correct it and the fact that it took me until the evening to accomplish this drawing. However, I will leave it up to you to draw your own comparisons to the previous attempt of redesigning my first favourite InuAya sons Kenta and Keita https://www.deviantart.com/antoni-matteo-garcia/art/The-Superbly-Strong-Muscle-Twin-Sons-911882609. Nevertheless, this was still an enjoyable experience giving Kenta and Keita a bit of an update and retouch to their overall appearances.

Kenta and Keita are indubitably the Northern Yoro Tribe’s most powerful wrestlers, boxers, weightlifters, jujutsu practitioners, judoka, and Pankration specialists as well as the handsomest bodybuilders to ever grace the tribe. Their bulging biceps, alabaster abs, terrific triceps, and magnificently mighty muscles compliment their skills in delivering some serious piledrivers, Boston Crabs, ground and pound attacks, back-breakers, neck-breakers, chokeholds, arm bars, and submission holds. Opponents would never stand a chance against these magnificently muscular macho twins, hence Inuyasha proudly stating that Kenta and Keita are his most favourite sons, which their older brothers Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru and their younger brothers Kazuhiko and Kaito respect and support that title to a high degree. Furthermore, they put their radical wrestling moves, powerful punches, cataclysmic kicks, and magnificent muscles to great use when protecting their home from invaders.

Where personalities are concerned, it is easy to perceive Kenta and Keita as a couple of musclebound meatheads. However, they are a couple of funny, charming, lovable, and adorable gentlemen who love a good competition whether through bodybuilding posedowns, wrestling matches or weightlifting sessions. Despite their tendencies to show off, they are fully aware that there is a time and a place for everything. Kenta is the competitive and fiercely confident twin who is always ready for a match in Pankration, judo, jujutsu, wrestling, boxing, weightlifting, and bodybuilding while also carrying a fiercely loyal heart to those he cares for. Keita is the rowdily determined and impulsively rough-and-tumble twin brother who is just as focused and ready for any and every match in Pankration, judo, jujutsu, wrestling, boxing, weightlifting, and bodybuilding, but also really caring to those he calls his friends and his family. Together, Kenta’s and Keita’s brotherhood surpasses mere comradeship and has a genuine profundity that makes them truly indestructible. Inuyasha as well as Ayame could not have been any happier to have sons as fierce, strong, and determined as Kenta and Keita, and Kenta and Keita are just as happy to have Inuyasha as their super strong father and Ayame as their dedicatedly determined mother.

I hope you all enjoyed this redraw, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Inuyasha x Ayame as well as their children, everybody.

The Handsomely Mighty Triplet Sons (Redraw)

The Handsomely Mighty Triplet Sons (Redraw)

September 1, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

This piece of Inuyasha x Ayame next-gen fan art is dedicated to all of the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame shippers of the world as well as those who fancy the idea of what their ideas of InuAya fan-made children would look like. Sit back, relax, and revel in Masataka’s, Masaya’s, and Masaru’s virile handsomeness as a trio of muscularly powerful and dashingly gentlemanly brothers.

This is a redraw of my first-born 26 going on 27-year-old Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya triplet sons namely, from left to right, Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru. Four months ago, I published a drawing of them, but, looking back at the drawing I made of them, I was not thoroughly impressed with what I accomplished. This was because I was not entirely sure where I was going to place specific purple stripes or where I was going to adjust them. You can see for yourself of what I have accomplished and be the judge of that The Handsomely Mighty Triplet Sons. Fortunately, I made some changes, and I feel really proud of myself for doing so. I even made their fighting shorts a combination of silver and crimson red in order to show that they bear both their parents’ signature clothing colours. Furthermore, if you could not tell from their eye colours, Masataka’s, Masaya’s, and Masaru’s eyes are a mixture of Inuyasha’s gold-coloured eyes and Ayame’s green-coloured eyes.

When it comes to combat skills, Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru are extremely skilled in Pankration, Wrestling, Boxing, Kapu Kuialua, Bokator, Kickboxing, and Hapkido. They use their punches, kicks, grapples, throws, and joint locks to overpower their enemies, considering that these three warriors utilise strength, precision, torque, and velocity to their advantage. Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru are kinetic force incarnate whether they step in the ring or do battle against invaders, and they show no signs of stopping.

Personality-wise, Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru may look alike, but they have different personalities. Masataka is the responsible and dutiful eldest triplet brother who does his best to set a great example to his brothers and sisters and is unafraid to call out anybody who has done him, his friends, and his family wrong. Masaya is the determined, ambitious, and headstrong middle triplet brother who despises the thought of ever surrendering and accepts every single challenge with open arms. Masaru is the confident, brash, and driven youngest triplet brother who always speaks his mind and loathes deception. There are occasions where Masataka tends to be uptight, Masaya tends to be over-confident, and Masaru tends to run his mouth. Nevertheless, these three brothers have learned to unconditionally love each other and build each other up in terms of strength, solidarity, and understanding. They have always set an example for their younger siblings, supported their parents in thick and thin, and have proven themselves to be just as valiant, powerful, determined, and tough as their father Inuyasha and their mother Ayame.

I hope you all enjoyed this redraw, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Inuyasha x Ayame as well as their children, everybody.

Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru belong to me.

Marvel at These Two Strong Alpha Dog Dudes

Marvel at These Two Strong Alpha Dog Dudes

August 31, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

This piece of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran fan art is dedicated to all of my fellow Splendid Seven devotees who revel in Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran being one united family of powerful Yokai warriors. Sit back, relax, and revel in Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s Alpha Male muscular virility as well as Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ayame’s, and Shunran’s undying support and admiration of them.

We have two mightily powerful combatants who have incorporated Karate, Jujutsu, Judo, Taekwondo, Pankration, Boxing, and Wrestling as their main martial arts in the forms of 41-year-old Sesshoumaru and 40-year-old Inuyasha seated in the centre flexing their tremendous biceps like the strong Alpha Males that they are as well as donning some really cool-looking shades to accentuate their overall virility. Behind these two dog Yokai martial artists are 40-year-old Shuran a panther Yokai wrestler specialising in Sambo, Vale Tudo, and Professional Wrestling; 39-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta two wolf yokai strikers and clinchers respectively in Muay Thai, Lethwei, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, and Pencak Silat; 37-year-old Ayame a wolf Yokai warrior queen and champion in Kickboxing, Hapkido, Koppojutsu, and Boxing; and 35-year-old Shunran a panther Yokai warrior queen and champion in Shaolin Kung Fu, Capoeira, Wing Chun, and Savate doing a fabulous double flying kick. It says something when Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran truly admire Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s sheer strength and power as martial artists and as individuals. Not only do Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have the muscles, the combat prowess, and the manliness to conquer their foes and be an inspiration to their fellow Yokai martial artists, but they also have sufficient coolness and chillness that make them quite charismatic which is also a noticeable trait they have inherited from their equally awesome father.

I once again used the picture of Harley posing with MusclesGlasses and Furious Pete from the Epic Meal Time episode “Squeaky Grease Sandwiches” as inspiration, and I did my best to emulate that particular pose for Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha in the front and Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran in the back. For what it was worth, I managed to still enjoy it and felt really elated doing this particular pose inspiration again which was my initial idea to have Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha in the front doing the bicep flex in order for them to demonstrate that they are a brotherly duo of tough and strong warriors. Harley with MusclesGlasses and Furious Pete

With that said, I shall leave the floor to Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran to show their appreciative admiration to Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha.

Shuran: Look at these two strong dog Yokai warrior brothers.

Hakkaku: They got bodies of steel.

Ginta: And loads of determination to boot.

Ayame: Not to mention they are also really handsome.

Shunran: And totally awesome!

(Sesshoumaru flexes his left bicep, while Inuyasha flexes his right bicep.)

Sesshoumaru: Do you enjoy what you see?

Inuyasha: I’m sure you do.

Sesshoumaru: Our biceps say, if you try to annihilate us, we will come after you and rain a barrage of chokeholds, strikes, joint locks, and submission holds on you. And nobody will hear you scream.

Inuyasha: But if you wanna support us and train with us, you are more than welcome because we will make sure you feel right at home. You will feel like family to us, and we will protect you all.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (flex both biceps, as they contract): Ooooooh!!! Grrrrr!!!!

Sesshoumaru: That’s our way of saying, do you understand?

Inuyasha: You do? Good. 

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Then we and our biceps thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your time, and we hope to see you soon.

Thanks so much. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and always remember that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and their handsomely muscular bodies will guard you well from danger, everybody.

Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.

The Splendid Seven Main Combat Romantic Pairings

August 30, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into my seven favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in the form of the main martial arts sparring matches they focus on. They will be categorised as OTP, Loved Pairing, and Liked Pairing, and they will be strictly heterosexual.
 
It is often said that there is power in unconditional love, especially if there is varying degrees of intimacy. Whether romantic love is thoroughly intimate, based on mutual closeness or based on respect and allegiance, there is no doubt that the loving ties that bind can draw on fortitude, dedication, determination, drive, perseverance, wilfulness, and cooperation. Therefore, true love is unbreakable in contentious doubt and in triumphant joy.
 
Here are the rules for this entry. There will be only one martial arts sparring match per romantic pairing, and they will receive different ones for each pairing. I will judge each martial art based on lethalness, effectiveness, and overall impact. Knowing the likes of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran, they would be the most lethal martial artists Japan and the world have ever encountered. Furthermore, each martial art would not be solely pigeonholed as a striking one, a grappling one or a clinching one, for the different elements of striking, clinching, and grappling are going to be combined. With that said, let us get ready to rumble in the most romantic and intimate way possible. Osu! Hajime!
 
Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): Kapu Kuialua vs Hapkido
Inuyasha and Ayame bear the complete package when it comes to defeating their opponents with their formidably versatile repertoire of punches, kicks, grapples, takedowns, clinches, strikes, and submission holds. Anybody with common sense should be aware of the damage this mighty couple can deliver because Inuyasha and Ayame hold nothing back and can make them bleed profusely. This is evidenced in how Inuyasha uses his background in Full-Contact Karate and Pankration to increase his capacity in Kapu Kuialua and how Ayame uses her experience in Kickboxing and Koppojutsu to make her skills in Hapkido even more lethal.
 
Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): Muay Thai vs Ninjutsu
Hakkaku and Shunran are exuberance, glee, and enthusiasm personified thanks to how they consistently propel their punches, strikes, clinches, and takedowns with panache and passion. The imperative hallmarks of their effective attacks boil down to quicksilver speed, abundant power, thorough balance, and accurate timing which places them at an advantage over their opponents. A barrage of clinches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and shin kicks from Hakkaku combined with a flurry of joint locks, kicks, punches, and strikes from Shunran can signify indubitable sudden death to those brazen enough to oppose this lovingly optimistic couple.
 
Ginta x Shunran (OTP): Lethwei vs Shaolin Kung Fu
Ginta and Shunran may appear lovable, sweet, and cuddly towards each other on the outside, but test their patience and leniency and they will rain a grand series of blows, strikes, and takedowns rich in quick speed, formidable strength, relentless stamina, and explosive reaction time. They have never met an opponent they did not like and would prove themselves to be consistently willing to deliver strikes, clinches, and takedowns galore. Whether those attacks are found in Ginta’s brutal headbutts and knee strikes or in Shunran’s rapid punches and flying kicks, victory is definitely in this adorably lovable couple’s favour.
 
Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): Mixed Martial Arts vs Koppojutsu
Sesshoumaru and Ayame have an indubitably profound bond based on allegiance, respect, encouragement, and perseverance. Should opponents be imprudent to step beyond their boundaries and cross swords with Sesshoumaru and Ayame, they would end up being at the receiving end of Sesshoumaru’s paralysing joint locks, throws, and strikes as well as Ayame’s strikes, punches, and kicks. With Sesshoumaru’s expertise in Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jujutsu, and Taekwondo being used in Mixed Martial Arts plus Ayame’s power in Boxing and Kickboxing amplifying her skills in Koppojutsu, they are unstoppable in and out of battle.
 
Shuran x Shunran (Loved Pairing): Sambo vs Savate
Shuran and Shunran can prove themselves to be an extremely dynamic pair of combatants by virtue of combining his submission holds, piledrivers, chokeholds, and throws and her kicks, tricking moves, strikes, and punches. Therefore, this combination brute force and fancy yet lethal hand- and footwork makes for an awe-inspiring and formidable weapon that could make their foes surrender almost without any effort, especially since Shuran also uses Pro Wrestling and Shunran also uses Capoeira to boost up their respective skills in Sambo and Savate. Furthermore, their loving bond contains high amounts of synergy and appreciation.
 
Shuran x Ayame (Liked Pairing): Vale Tudo vs Nippon Kenpo
Shuran and Ayame make a ripe pair of physical powerhouses, thus combining raw power with undeterred relentlessness. Shuran’s attacks ranging from ground and pound to body locks to submission holds as well as Ayame’s willingness to launch her punches, kicks, strikes, and takedowns make their enemies weak in the knees every time this duo appears and delivers on their sheer power. Aside from ensuring well-launched, quick, and lethal attacks planted in the most uncompromising way possible, Shuran and Ayame possess a bond that is rich in encouragement, understanding, and consistently building each other up in a healthy way.
 
Hakkaku x Ayame (Liked Pairing): Kajukenbo vs Kickboxing
Hakkaku and Ayame constantly prepare their fists, elbows, knees, the balls of their feet, their heels, their insteps, and the bottom of their feet for some epic punching, kicking, striking, and takedowns. With every striking flurry Hakkaku and Ayame emit against all of their foes, they demonstrate that there is not one moment that they will be knocked down and can easily demolish their foes with everything they have. If their foes were foolish enough to find themselves blasted by Hakkaku’s and Ayame’s punches, kicks, and clinches, they would regret underestimating them. Outside battle, their amicability shows good sportsmanship.
 
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I would love to hear which of these Splendid Seven romantic pairings in main martial arts sparring form is your most favourite. Until then, I will see you in the next submission. Take care, everybody.

My Top Five Splendid Seven Platonic Combat Spars

August 29, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will delve into my top five platonic pairings revolving around Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran in the form of martial arts sparring matches.
 
I may have listed my top three favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings in the form of martial arts sparring matches, but this is a nice opportunity to increase it to five in order to include the other two that I love just as much as the three that I have mentioned. You can already guess what they are. With that said, let us get punching, kicking, clinching, and grappling. Osu!
 
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: The Mighty Karateka Brothers
Fighters from all around the world would concur that Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha Japan’s and the world’s strongest Karateka as well as complete martial artists. These two dog Yokai warrior brothers not only live and breathe Karate, but they have made it their way of life from infancy all the way up to adulthood. Physically, they have the overpowering chokeholds, crushing takedowns, vice-like body locks, brutal punches, quick kicks, rapid reflexes, and super strength to do collateral damage towards all of their opponents. Characteristically, they have a brotherhood based on perseverance, courage, dedication, cooperation, and synergy.
  • Shotokan Karate vs Kyokushin Karate
  • Goju-Ryu Karate vs Seidokaikan Karate
  • Motobu-Ryu Karate vs Ashihara Karate
  • Chito-Ryu Karate vs Enshin Karate
  • Yoshukai Karate vs Shidokan Karate
  • Uechi-Ryu Karate vs Byakuren Karate
  • Wado-Ryu Karate vs Budokan Karate
 
Sesshoumaru and Shuran: The Lethal Grappler Brothers
Joint locks, headlocks, arm bars, and chokeholds may be the physical heartbeats of Sesshoumaru and Shuran as mighty warriors who would crush their enemies into smithereens, but it is their sense of balance, respect, and teamwork that seal the deal with this duo. Alone, Sesshoumaru is a complete martial artist rife with precision, stamina, and formidability, while Shuran is a literal and figurative powerhouse ready to crush, smash, and annihilate thanks to his imposing size and brute strength. Together, they would use their strength and stamina to give their opponents a one-way ticket to a painfully quick defeat.
  • Mixed Martial Arts vs Vale Tudo
  • Shootfighting vs Combat Sambo
  • Marine Corps Martial Arts vs Professional Wrestling
  • Brazilian Jiu-jitsu vs Sumo Wrestling
  • Jujutsu vs Mongolian Wrestling
  • Judo vs Pehlwani
  • Yongmudo vs Ssireum
 
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: The Dynamic Executor Brothers
What happens when a wrestler known for his brute strength in his grappling teams up with two strikers known for their devastating clinches? A trio of dynamic and versatile fighters would form who would combine strength and quick reaction time in order to annihilate their foes who dare underestimate them. Any sane person would not want to incite violence against them, for they can deliver one powerful punishment by virtue of Shuran’s submission holds, Hakkaku’s knee and elbow strikes, and Ginta’s punches and kicks. This is also combined with the insurmountable support they have for each other as loving brothers.
  • Vale Tudo vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei
  • Combat Sambo vs Pradal Serey vs Sanda
  • Professional Wrestling vs Kajukenbo vs Jeet Kune Do
  • Sumo Wrestling vs Panantukan vs Pencak Silat
  • Mongolian Wrestling vs Dambe vs Eagle Claw Kung Fu
  • Pehlwani vs Moraingy vs Hwa Rang Do
  • Ssireum vs Taekkyeon vs Tang Soo Do
 
Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta: The Bloody Clincher Brothers
Is there a moment where fighters do not feel terrified whenever Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta get uncomfortably close to them in order to rain a series of blows? No. This is because these three brothers can do seriously irreparable physical damage to their opponents thanks to their bone-shattering punches, devastating kicks, paralysing elbow strikes, pulsating knee strikes, hard-hitting headbutts, crushing clinches, and explosive close-range combat, thus leaving them drenched in their opponents’ blood. Overlooking their brutality, they have an inseparable fraternal bond that has seen them grow phenomenally in strength and wisdom.
  • Pankration vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei
  • Bokator vs Pradal Serey vs Sanda
  • American Kenpo Karate vs Kajukenbo vs Jeet Kune Do
  • Ancient Greek Boxing vs Panantukan vs Pencak Silat
  • Kapu Kuialua vs Dambe vs Eagle Claw Kung Fu
  • Kudo Karate vs Moraingy vs Hwa Rang Do
  • Shaolin Kempo Karate vs Taekkyeon vs Tang Soo Do
 
Ayame and Shunran: The Flexible Striker Sisters
Punch, block, kick, and charge into action with Ayame and Shunran, for their strikes are renowned for their accuracy, lethalness, and indubitably high impact. Ayame’s iron fists and Shunran’s lightning kicks are a mighty combined force to be reckoned with, thus making their opponents bleeding, bruised, and broken in nearly every single body part. This is evidenced when Ayame uses her uppercuts, jabs, cross punches, reverse punches, and hooks and Shunran uses her roundhouse kicks, spinning kicks, flying double kicks, and flip kicks to do near permanent damage to their enemies in an effortless manner. Furthermore, Ayame’s and Shunran’s sisterly bond is abundant in encouragement, compassion, and unconditional love.
  • Kickboxing vs Capoeira
  • Hapkido vs Savate
  • Boxing vs Wing Chun
  • Nippon Kenpo vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  • Shorinji Kenpo vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  • Koppojutsu vs Aikido
  • Taido vs Ninjutsu
 
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, my five favourite Splendid Seven platonic pairings in martial arts sparring forms. As always, please let me know which one is your most favourite platonic pairing. Until then, see you in the next submission.

My Top Five Splendid Seven Main Platonic Spars

August 29, 2022 in The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will delve into my five most favourite main Splendid Seven platonic pairings in the forms of main martial arts sparring matches.
 
The rules for this entry are that I will choose one martial art sparring match for each platonic pairing. Furthermore, the catch is that the martial art style each character will be judged on lethalness, ferociousness, and the possibility of high impact when especially used in close-range attacks. Although I am far from being a martial arts expert, I did consult various sites as to which one could be deemed as the most lethally bloody and most effective that the likes of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would use. After all, these seven Yokai martial artists would be considered the deadliest combatants of their chosen martial arts should any super strong opponent dare challenge them. I also want to ensure that the martial arts sparring matches I have chosen for each of them do not just contain only striking or only grappling but a mixture of strikes, grapples, clinches, and holds, thus increasing the effectiveness of each martial arts sparring match. For instance, as much as I am tempted to have Sesshoumaru and Shuran spar in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu versus Sumo Wrestling, these two are basically grappling martial arts which would relatively trivialise the skills they have as combatants who are more than capable of just one attacking style. With that said, let’s get our punches, kicks, strikes, clinches, grapples, takedowns, and submission holds in gear, everybody. Osu! Hajime!
 
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Ashihara Karate vs Kudo
Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Taekwondo, Pankration, Boxing, and Wrestling have formed the basis of Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s powerful brotherhood, thus establishing their ever-expanding martial arts repertoire plus being strong and versatile combatants. It has gotten to the point where they combined every punch, kick, grapple, takedown, strike, clinch, and submission hold they have learned and turned them into weapons of mass destruction. These two dog Yokai love a full-contact spar with each other and challenging themselves against mightier opponents because they grow in fortitude, fraternal love, and wisdom.
 
Sesshoumaru and Shuran: Mixed Martial Arts vs Vale Tudo
With Sesshoumaru’s background in Karate, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Judo, and Taekwondo and Shuran’s background in Pro Wrestling, Combat Sambo, Sumo Wrestling, and Ssireum combined, they have become a formidable force to be reckoned with. This is especially evidenced in Sesshoumaru’s penchant for brutal takedowns and ground and pound attacks combined with Shuran’s unparalleled skill in chokeholds, submission holds, and groundwork. Teamwork, allegiance, and respect are the hallmarks of what further strengthen them as a duo who thrive on takedowns, grapples, and making their enemies surrender with ease.
 
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: Sambo vs Kajukenbo vs Pencak Silat
Nobody could ask for a higher dose of versatility when Shuran’s wrestling skills, Hakkaku’s punches, kicks, and strikes, and Ginta’s offensive and defensive attacks come into play. All it takes is great teamwork and boundless cooperation to make every finishing blow they commit to all the more worthwhile against their foes. First, Ginta disarms the opponents by numbing them with quick strikes. Then, Shuran locks them with a bearhug and a Full Nelson for good measure. Finally, Hakkaku rains a series of paralysing blows on them. Their effective teamwork in defeating opponents is coupled with truth, synergy, and a positive attitude.
 
Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta: Kapu Kuialua vs Muay Thai vs Lethwei
Words cannot begin to describe how bloody and vicious Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta are in close-range combat. These three mightily potent warriors have the punishing punches, terrifying takedowns, killer kicks, claustrophobic clinches, stunning strikes, lethal locks, and superb submission holds to defeat all of their opponents. To Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta, strength alone is never enough because endurance, dedication, and quick reflexes can propel every attack possible. Their sparring matches and battles against foes may result in painfully deadly bloodshed, but they always encourage each other to stay relentless and determined.
 
Ayame and Shunran: Hapkido vs Shaolin Kung Fu
When Ayame’s punches, throws, grapples, and kicks mesh with Shunran’s punches, strikes, kicks, and acrobatics, this would result in a grand combination of power, speed, balance, and timing so formidable and accurate that foes can never stand a chance against these two auburn-haired sisters. Ayame’s main strengths may be in her punches, grapples, strikes, and kicks thanks to her expertise in Kickboxing, Boxing, and Hapkido, while Shunran’s are in her punches, kicks, strikes, and tricking thanks to her experience in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Savate, but they prove themselves to be abundant dedication and cooperation incarnate.
 
Whatever the main Splendid Seven platonic pairing in martial arts sparring form, each of them is filled to the brim with undeniable respect, tight allegiance, and synergetic flexibility that they would constantly better each other every single waking moment. No enemy is too powerful or too strong to ever knock them down, especially when these platonic pairing combos come play a major role. As always, please let me know in the description which of these five main platonic spars has caught your fancy the most. Until then, have a great time, everybody. Osu!

The Splendid Seven Martial Arts Romantic Pairings

August 27, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees, martial arts aficionados, and fighting video game fans. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do. Today, I will be delving into my seven favourite Splendid Seven romantic pairings in the form of martial arts sparring matches. They will be categorised as OTP, Loved Pairing, and Liked Pairing, and they will be strictly heterosexual.
 
Love is certainly in the air when our seven favourite Yokai martial artists build each other up in great ways, especially when it comes to five gallant gentlemen treating their two elegant lady loves really well without any form of animosity. Regardless of the degree of intimate love displayed with each pairing, they can be guaranteed to give each other the strength, support, and solidarity needed to propel each other as fighters and as individuals. With that said, let us pair up and kick some butt together, everybody.
 
Inuyasha x Ayame (OTP): The Powerfully Intimate Couple
Magnificent muscles of might and formidable fists of fury entwine to create an extremely powerful couple known to the world for their psychological perseverance, super strength, and endless endurance. Inuyasha and Ayame have never met an opponent they did not like and would use their signature Superman punches, uppercuts, jabs, hooks, and spinning axe kicks to destroy them in full contact. Inuyasha would even use his grappling skills to permit Ayame to cause collateral damage to their opponents through her striking. Outside the battlefield, they are sensually intimate with each other, complete with spicy lovemaking.
  • Kyokushin Karate vs Kickboxing
  • Seidokaikan Karate vs Nippon Kenpo
  • Ashihara Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo
  • American Kenpo Karate vs Hapkido
  • Pankration vs Boxing
  • Kapu Kuialua vs Koppojutsu
  • Bokator vs Taido
 
Hakkaku x Shunran (OTP): The Sweetly Fun-Loving Couple
Exciting energy of ebullience and fearless flexibility of fabulousness mesh into one when these two dynamic combatants unleash their bullet-like speed, beguiling enthusiasm, and engaging physical agility. Hakkaku and Shunran may seem like a joyously optimistic couple. However, once opponents try their patience, Hakkaku and Shunran would unleash a series of elbow strikes, shin kicks, knee strikes, and backfists on them. In fact, combining Hakkaku’s elbow strikes with Shunran’s double flying kicks can cause serious damage. When not fighting, Hakkaku and Shunran would happily kiss and hug each other to their delight.
  • Muay Thai vs Capoeira
  • Pradal Serey vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  • Kajukenbo vs Wing Chun
  • Panantukan vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  • Dambe vs Savate
  • Moraingy vs Aikido
  • Taekkyeon vs Ninjutsu
 
Ginta x Shunran (OTP): The Gorgeously Lovable Couple
Cherubic charm of chivalry and angelic appeal of amiability combine into a mixture of untainted beauty and unrivalled gorgeousness when these two pure and beautiful souls join forces thanks to their rapid physical agility and relentless velocity. Ginta and Shunran may seem like a couple who unconditionally care for each other. Nevertheless, opponents should be wary of their repertory of strikes, clinches, and kicks, especially when combining Ginta’s headbutt with Shunran’s flying kick backfist combo. After every combat, Ginta and Shunran would sweetly consummate their feelings as a means to soothe and cool each other down.
  • Lethwei vs Capoeira
  • Jeet Kune Do vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  • Sanda vs Wing Chun
  • Eagle Claw Kung Fu vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  • Pencak Silat vs Savate
  • Hwa Rang Do vs Aikido
  • Tang Soo Do vs Ninjutsu
 
Sesshoumaru x Ayame (Loved Pairing): The Regally Dutiful Pair
Honour, duty, respect, focus, and determination are the hallmarks that make Sesshoumaru and Ayame shine together as warriors. They do what they can to treat each other with respect and allegiance as well as grow in physical strength, interpersonal camaraderie, and great stamina. The respect and allegiance Sesshoumaru and Ayame give to each other translates nicely into how effectively they land their jabs, hooks, roundhouse kicks, front kicks, and side kicks on their opponents. Sesshoumaru considers Ayame to be a formidable warrior queen, while Ayame considers Sesshoumaru to be an honourable warrior nobleman.
  • Shotokan Karate vs Kickboxing
  • Goju-Ryu Karate vs Nippon Kenpo
  • Shito-Ryu Karate vs Shorinji Kenpo
  • Taekwondo vs Hapkido
  • Mixed Martial Arts vs Boxing
  • Jujitsu vs Koppojutsu
  • Judo vs Taido
 
Shuran x Ayame (Loved Pairing): The Extraordinarily Formidable Pair
Strength, power, understanding, support, and dedication are what define Shuran and Ayame as mighty warriors who have each others’ backs. The support they have for each other in terms of finding balance between Shuran’s brute strength and Ayame’s rapid combat prowess demonstrates how incredibly they work together in battle. This is thanks to Shuran’s use of submission holds, chokeholds, and ground and pound attacks as a counterpoint to Ayame’s jabs, uppercuts, cross punches, and hooks to annihilate their opponents. Shuran and Ayame truly embrace each other as equals and will always stand by each other every time.
  • Professional Wrestling vs Kickboxing
  • Vale Tudo vs Nippon Kenpo
  • Combat Sambo vs Shorinji Kenpo
  • Ssireum vs Hapkido
  • Mongolian Wrestling vs Boxing
  • Sumo Wrestling vs Koppojutsu
  • Pehlwani vs Taido
 
Hakkaku x Ayame (Liked Pairing): The Fabulously Fast Duo
Hakkaku’s and Ayame’s speed, power, balance, and timing are truly admirable just as much as how they are willing to support each other in every endeavour they find themselves in. Considering how wonderfully Hakkaku’s excitability and Ayame’s determination combine, they would even translate their best traits into a series of elbow strikes, knee strikes, shin kicks, uppercuts, jabs, and hooks. Therefore, they could deliver a rapid execution against their opponents to shatter their bones and their spirits. Although they may not be overtly romantic with each other, they do greatly encourage each other with all of their beings.
  • Muay Thai vs Kickboxing
  • Pradal Serey vs Nippon Kenpo
  • Kajukenbo vs Shorinji Kenpo
  • Panantukan vs Hapkido
  • Dambe vs Boxing
  • Moraingy vs Koppojutsu
  • Taekkyeon vs Taido
 
Shuran x Shunran (Liked Pairing): The Dynamically Daring Duo
Shuran’s and Shunran’s versatility, force, torque, and reaction time make them work effectively as a duo, and they define what it means to never surrender let alone permit hindrances to get the better of them. Physically, Shuran’s brute strength and Shunran’s agile flexibility compliment each other in glorious ways that work exceedingly well in their favour, especially against the most perfidious of opponents. This is exemplified when Shuran puts his chokeholds, submission holds, and double axe handles to great use, while Shunran compliments them with her flying kicks, split kicks, spinning backfists, and flip kicks. While not romantically involved, they give thorough support to each other in positively great ways.
  • Professional Wrestling vs Capoeira
  • Vale Tudo vs Shaolin Kung Fu
  • Combat Sambo vs Wing Chun
  • Ssireum vs Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu
  • Mongolian Wrestling vs Savate

The Splendid Seven’s Five Deadliest Martial Arts

August 26, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven

Greetings, Splendid Seven devotees and martial arts aficionados. Antoni here with another written entry focusing on Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialising in the martial arts they do and have defined them as fighters and as individuals. Today, I will be delving into the five main martial arts I highly convict Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran define their fighting styles, them as individuals, and their overall identities.
 
I have listed the seven martial arts that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran specialise in to a high degree. You, my dear readers and fellow martial arts fans, have read how much I have been delving into and dedicating myself to make each of their fighting styles come to life in writing, which I hope to transfer into illustration. Now, I want to delve into the five main martial arts that I believe Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would incorporate and mix with lethal gusto. Therefore, I personally believe that it is not the martial art that is measured by how lethal it is, but the practitioners who use the martial arts, push themselves to thrive in them, and make them effective weapons of self-defence, power, accurate timing and, to some extent, mass destruction. With that said, let the joints break, the fists and feet fly, and blood be spewed from opponents’ bodies when Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are on the prowl to punch, kick, strike, and grapple loads of butts.
 
Sesshoumaru: MCMAP, MMA, Brazilian Jujitsu, Shotokan Karate, and Taekwondo
Military precision and lethal stamina are the hallmarks of what make Sesshoumaru an effective martial artist. Marine Corps Martial Arts provides him with the quick reaction time he needs to disarm his enemies and rain vicious blows. The same thing can be said about Sesshoumaru’s ground and pound attacks in Mixed Martial Arts plus his grappling leverage in Brazilian Jujitsu. More than anything, Sesshoumaru exhibits focus in Shotokan Karate and Taekwondo thanks to his signature roundhouse kicks, spinning backfists, and jabs to the body. All of Sesshoumaru’s foes would easily find themselves shattered with intimidation.
 
Shuran: Vale Tudo, Sambo, Profesional Wrestling, Sumo Wrestling, and Pehlwani
Brutal physical strength, an imposing body size, and a larger-than-life personality may define Shuran as a grappler, but his personal dedication shines like the brightest of diamonds to the point where promoters would be happy to have him featured as the heavyweight champion fighter. Shuran does take advantage of Vale Tudo’s and Sambo’s bloodily vicious ground and pound attacks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes plus Pro-Wrestling’s showman-like bravado, Sumo Wrestling’s raw power, and Pehlwani’s will to go down and dirty thanks to how he uses a myriad of submission holds. Shuran’s grappling can indubitably tear his foes to tiny shreds.
 
Inuyasha: Pankration, Kapu Kuialua, Bokator, Kenpo Karate, and Kyokushin Karate
Heaps of resilience and super strength certainly make a powerful fighter like Inuyasha thrive so wonderfully, regardless if he is in a 100-man Kumite or unleashing a flurry of punches, kicks, strikes, and grapples on large hard objects. Pankration’s and Kapu Kuialua’s ferocity are put to exceptional use by Inuyasha when he approaches his enemies with submission holds and chokeholds galore. Inuyasha’s ferocity is also evident in Bokator, American Kenpo Karate, and Kyokushin Karate when he unleashes his uppercuts, Superman punches, and spinning axe kicks, thus leaving his foes with external and internal bleeding and severe bone damage.
 
Hakkaku: Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Kajukenbo, Dambe, and Panantukan
The enthusiasm, grit, and excitement Hakkaku radiates with all flow in his blood, veins, heart, and overall being when he prepares for his fights presented in some of the world’s royal arenas. This is thanks to the sheer power, torque, force, and leverage found in his formidable myriad of punches, knee strikes, elbow strikes, shin kicks, and headbutts, specifically used in Muay Thai and Pradal Serey. Hakkaku’s formidability is just as clearly illustrated when he puts his signature cross punches, shin kicks, elbow strikes, headbutts, clinches, and knee strikes in Kajukenbo, Dambe, and Panantukan, thus reducing his foes to microscopic crumbs.
 
Ginta: Lethwei, Sanda, Pencak Silat, Hwa Rang Do, and Jeet Kune Do
The charm, lovability, and honour Ginta exudes on a day-to-day basis are all reflected in how positive the audience reception is when he enters every single fight he finds himself in. Coupled with how positive Ginta is as a person is his speed, power, balance, timing, torque, and grit in his shin kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes, headbutts, clinches, and punches, especially used to great effect in Lethwei, Sanda, and Pencak Silat. Coupling with those attacks are his signature flying kicks, spinning kicks, and gut punches present in Jeet Kune Do and Hwa Rang Do, thus doing as much irreparable damage and destruction to all of his foes.
 
Ayame: Kickboxing, Koppojutsu, Hapkido, Boxing, and Krav Maga
There is no question that Ayame possesses a high degree of ambition, determination, confidence, and strong willpower to deliver an amazing repertoire of punches, kicks, and strikes complete with breakneck speed, Herculean strength, and quick reactive timing. Her powerful fists and flashy footwork are especially made clear in Kickboxing, Boxing, and Hapkido when she unleashes her signature uppercuts, jabs, hooks, cross punches, Superman punches, and leopard blows. She also has brutal disarming skills used in Hapkido and Krav Maga when she permanently annihilates her foes’ bones thanks to her lethal strikes of doom.
 
Shunran: Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, Ninjutsu, Aikido, and Baguazhang
There is nothing to doubt when Shunran bears more than sufficient resourcefulness, cleverness, avidness, and grace to demonstrate that she is not fooling around with her kicks, tricking, strikes, and punches filled with speedy agility, Mercurial rapidness, and frightening unpredictability. Her dancelike moves combined with her agile leg and arm strength are clearly shown in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Baguazhang when she launches her butterfly kicks, split kicks, flying kicks, hooks, jabs, backfists, and knife hands. Moreover, her mastery of throws in Ninjutsu and Aikido means she can destroy her foes’ bodies to frightening effect.
 
When Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran incorporate five of the seven martial arts they specialise in, their opponents, foes, and trespassers better have prayers prepared before being thoroughly executed by their bare hands, feet, knees, elbows, and heads. These seven Yokai martial artists are forces to be reckoned with and have the skills, moves, and spirits to demonstrate that to an incredibly high degree. Therefore, never strike at them at inappropriate times if you value your life so much.
