Sensei Jason: Martial Arts Mentor Phenom
June 26, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This “What if Character Trained by Mentor” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren who are admirers of Jason David Frank as an actor, a martial artist, and as a martial arts instructor as well as The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Sit back, relax, and revel in how Sensei Jason played by, of course, the one and only Jason David Frank makes for a down-to-earth, unconditionally loving, caring, and firm mentor to seven formidable and rambunctious young Yokai martial artists in the form of The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Furthermore, if you are not careful, you may learn something from Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew before it’s done. Hiyah! Shu! Yah! Shu! Urasah! Shu! Hwah!
Happy Father’s Day, everybody, especially to all of the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, stepfathers, and father figures of the world, especially my own father. I would like you to imagine yourselves traveling back to 1996 regardless if you were children or parents already with children or if you were anime and Power Rangers aficionados during this time period. Picture yourselves tuning into the television one Saturday morning, specifically on Cartoon Network, with a bowl of cereal of any kind plus a glass of orange juice. You are excited to see the new show starring Jason David Frank from Power Rangers fame voicing a character modelled after him by the name of Sensei Jason, thus having him portray a mentor figure who juggles his sensei duties with his duties as a college student. His wards are seven young Yokai martial artists who are extremely talented, strong, courageous, and determined souls with moves which can rival any expert world-class martial artist. You are not only enthralled by the kick-butt action involving Sensei Jason but also his young wards known as The Black Belt Crew consisting of 15-year-old Sesshoumaru a black belt in Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, and Jujitsu; 14-year-old Inuyasha a black belt in Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Judo; 14-year-old Shuran an expert in Sambo, Vale Tudo, and Sumo Wrestling; 13-year-old Hakkaku an expert in Muay Thai, Kajukenbo, and Pradal Serey; 13-year-old Ginta an expert in Lethwei, Sanda, and Pencak Silat; 11-year-old Ayame a specialist in Kickboxing, Boxing, and Nippon Kenpo; and 9-year-old Shunran a specialist in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Wing Chun. Aside from learning about these various martial arts, you are also thoroughly involved in the stories and hijinks Sensei Frank and The Black Belt Crew get themselves into ranging from solving mysteries to stopping crime from occurring to overcoming the villains’ machinations to being entangled in unusual situations which are all helped by morals and values viewers like us can learn to appreciate, cherish, and make them a way of life. Accompanying Sensei Jason and his seven young Yokai warrior wards are his best friends who are also recurring characters in the forms of Esteban voiced by Steve Cardenas, Jonathan voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, and Corinne voiced by Karan Ashley. Moreover, much like previous shows such as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and Mister T, each episode would have a prologue and an epilogue of Jason David Frank himself in the flesh as well as Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, and Johnny Yong Bosch in select episodes also in the flesh introduce us to today’s episode and give their final words on the lessons learned. There would even be occasions where Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran still in their anime forms join Jason David Frank in the prologue and in the epilogue. Therefore, Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew would be the 90s equivalent to Mister T’s high octane action, Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos’ emphasis on making martial arts fascinating and cool, and Fat Albert’s viewer approachability. The result is a show which both the young and the young at heart would thoroughly enjoy and be entertained with thanks to its blend of martial arts action, wholesome family values, fun comedy, genuine human drama, and good morals and values being implemented without being preachy, condescending, and patronising. Moreover, this show would run every Saturday morning on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 1999 and see accolades including some Emmys and Annie Awards for Best Daytime Children’s Program because of how it manages to be both entertaining and brilliant in touching upon important morals and values as well as touching upon serious topics.
Speaking of morals and values, Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew would touch upon important topics which children learn in their daily lives such as the importance good health, the importance of a balanced diet and lifestyle, dealing with first crushes, handling peer pressure, safety as a priority, self-esteem, close family ties, dealing with school bullies, and how martial arts should be used to protect others and neither to show off nor to inflict violence, specifically where the codes of brother- and sisterhood, confidence, cooperation, attitude, self-respect, respect, dedication, and discipline are concerned. Aside from these themes revolving around close family ties and maintaining good relationships among others, they would also not be afraid to touch upon more serious topics such as children in troubled backgrounds, gun violence, gang wars, kidnapping, child abuse, parental abandonment, depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, discrimination in the forms of sexism and racism, gender equality, divorce, being in abusive relationships, pedophilia, suicide, death, and sexuality. Through all the physical and mental training Sensei Jason would do with his young Yokai wards, he would also implement the importance of good communication and to never bottle anything up if ever there are issues that arise. Something that they also have in common is that Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew are also young parents, for the real-life Jason David Frank became a father at 19 years old with his first wife, Sesshoumaru is a single dad, Shuran and Hakkaku are also single fathers, Inuyasha and Ayame were married with first sons of their own, and Ginta and Shunran became first-time parents, thus touching upon the issues of teen pregnancy and the responsibility being a young parent entails. For a show that would have aired from 1996 to 1999 every Saturday morning on Cartoon Network, Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew would not be afraid to touch upon serious topics and would be really ahead of its time, thus seeing wide viewership and a show that would really stand the test of time.
The show’s formula would involve a high octane opening involving Sensei Jason and the Black Belt Crew demonstrating their various martial arts skills, kicking villain butt, and emerging on top with Esteban, Jonathan, and Corinne cheering them on and the title card in bold red colours popping on the screen akin to Mister T and Karate Kommandos. There would also be a hint of Fat Albert with the real life Jason David Frank reminding us the viewers that, if we are not careful, we may learn something from today’s episode, with him shouting Kiai and throwing various striking attacks. After that fun and thrilling opening, Jason David Frank himself in live-action form would introduce today’s episode and what he and his wards are about to get into. The main show proper would be in anime form as illustrated and designed by the same people who would eventually work on the 2000 Inuyasha anime. Preliminary hijinks of Sensei Jason, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would be expected, especially with Sensei Jason being the cool and wise big brother mentor figure to his wards. The parental figures would also play substantial roles in each episodes in the forms of The Wolf Elder, Toga the Dog General, InuKimi, and Izayoi making frequent visits to see how Sensei Jason and their progeny are faring. After that, comes the main action where the crime of the day is afoot, and it is up to Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew to suit up and get ready to kick villain butt with their furious fists, fleet feet, and quick wit to overcome their foes. The crimes of the day would range from petty theft to arson to kidnapping to gang violence, while being interspersed with important morals about never letting discrimination ruin potential friendships, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, and/or showing honour to one’s craft as a martial artist. The villains would meet their defeat with Sensei Jason’s and The Black Belt Crew’s united efforts and skills as a team. Some dark moments and themes may occur in certain episodes, but that is also part for the course in terms of this show revolving around a down-to-earth martial arts sensei juggling his teaching duties with his life as a college student and his seven young Yokai warrior wards. The main episode ends and viewers are treated to the epilogue where Jason David Frank himself once again in live-action form would summarise what has happened and the moral behind today’s episode, bidding us the viewers until the next time with a martial arts bow. The credits roll with that same high octane opening but with instruments only, and viewers anticipate the next episode.
The Black Belt Crew or Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran behind the scenes would have nothing but gratitude, laudability, and genuinely kind words to say about Sensei Jason David Frank. 15-year-old Sesshoumaru would consider him to be a knowledgeable and understanding person who always wanted the best for them. 14-year-old Inuyasha would affirm that he was a compassionate and approachable person who always did what he could to help him and his family reach greater heights. 14-year-old Shuran would claim that he was a kind and fair soul who always saw the best in everybody. 13-year-old Hakkaku would perceive him to be a fun and warm soul who livens the set. 13-year-old Ginta would see him as a genuine and disciplined person who never has an agenda behind anybody’s back. 11-year-old Ayame would find him encouraging and clever as a martial artist and as a person who always ensured that they lived their best lives possible. 9-year-old Shunran would find him charming and dashing as a gentlemen who always had a selfless heart, while also having a bit of a friendly crush on him. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran could not have asked for a more approachable, down-to-earth, and cool sensei such as Sensei Jason David Frank.
Sensei Jason David Frank would also have kind and encouraging words to say about Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Out of all the seven young Yokai martial artists, Frank would consider Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to be his most favourite co-stars to work with because of how disciplined, strong, and dedicated they were as martial arts specialists who always reached greater heights and honoured the code with all of their beings, with Sesshoumaru showing more stealth and Inuyasha showing more muscle, thus complimenting each other so perfectly. Where Shuran was concerned, he was fully aware of his two sides being the rough-and-tumble fighter ready to lock opponents in submission holds and the genuinely warm soul who deeply cared for his family and friends. Hakkaku and Ginta would be like the fun-loving little brothers he would have loved to have thanks to their positive energy, willingness to learn, and readiness to get the work done. Ayame would be someone he could see so much abundance and potential to grow as a strong, determined, and dedicated fighter because of how she never backed down from combat and always demonstrated let alone exuded perseverance and confidence in everything she did. Finally, Frank would perceive Shunran as that fun-loving, cheeky, cheery little sister who enjoyed pulling pranks while also bearing an unconditionally loving and appreciative soul who always kept the family together. Sensei Jason David Frank would be very thankful to have worked and gotten acquainted with Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Furthermore, he would even jettison and commission Cartoon Network’s Toonami in 2000 to have Inuyasha, Shuran, Sesshoumaru, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran star as the main heroes of Mighty Morphin Inurangers, thus being inspired from his tenure as a Power Ranger himself, having confidence that his seven co-stars would prolong the Power Rangers’ legacy in anime form, and creating what would very well be Toonami’s juggernaut show and franchise.
When you have a martial arts instructor with years of experience training in the martial arts ever since he was a toddler, opening up his own karate school at the tender age of 18 years old, finding himself in a franchise juggernaut such as the Power Rangers franchise, thus becoming the face and moves of said franchise, and eventually find himself on an animated show starring him in the lead role alongside seven young Yokai martial artists in the forms of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran, you know fully well that this would effectively strike lightning in a bottle. Combining kick butt martial arts action, learning about various martial arts such as Karate, Taekwondo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Lethwei Kickboxing, and Capoeira, and dealing with very serious and relevant issues would give Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew a whole lot of leverage to viewers of all ages and make this entire show and the cast a household word during the near tail-end of the 1990s. Therefore, this would be something Jason David Frank, Steve Cardenas, Johnny Yong Bosch, Karan Ashley, The Wolf Elder, Toga, InuKimi, Izayoi, Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran would be really happy to be involved and something that would have a long-lasting legacy on the viewers.
If you enjoyed this filled-up meme, what do you think? Would you have wanted to tune in to Cartoon Network to watch Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew kick some bad guy butt and learn some valuable lessons? Would this have been your idea of great entertainment every Saturday morning? Do you even see this jettisoning back in 1996? Would you also recommend this show to anybody who is a fan of Jason David Frank, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran? Do you think this show would be a great idea to the point where this would last for three or more years? Please comment below and let me know.
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.

The Splendid Seven Meet Jason David Frank
June 25, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This “What if Crossover Meeting” Meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren who are admirers of Jason David Frank as an actor, a martial artist, and as a martial arts instructor as well as The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Sit back, relax, and revel in the idea of Jason David Frank portraying a mentor figure to seven energetic and powerful young Yokai warriors, especially in the 1990s.
Imagine being transported back to 1996, during the period when Power Rangers Zeo aired as well as when Jason David Frank released his second karate instructional video The White Ranger Kata. A new show has been produced that does not see 23-year-old Sensei Frank as one of the Power Rangers but as a mentor in the vein of Master Splinter except he is younger, more vibrant, and not as stoic but still firm, fair, and kind. Rather, the ones who end up taking centre stage are seven young Yokai martial artists in the forms of 15-year-old Sesshoumaru, 14-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 13-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 11-year-old Ayame, and 9-year-old Shunran who would end up charming the small screens with their prodigious moves, their vibrant personalities, and their lovingly tight bond with Sensei Frank playing their mentor. The result is essentially a combination of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mixed with Three Ninjas in the sense that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are volatile, powerful, strong-willed young warriors with a mentor who sets them on the right path to living their best lives possible while being the firmly loving family that they are. Sprinkling in the edutainment elements of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, Captain Planet, and Mister T would demonstrate that this show revolving around Sensei Frank, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran is not just all about kicking villain butt with various martial arts skills but also tell great stories, inspire viewers to be aware of the world around them, and instil good morals to young viewers without becoming too preachy nor too sanctimonious, thus making for absolutely great television in the mid to late 1990s.
I could imagine Jason David Frank playing a wise, down-to-earth mentor figure who does not go all preachy with his morals and principles, but does his best to give sage advice and encouragement to his young wards, while also balancing his sensei duties with his education as a college student. He would also push Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran to reach their potential as martial artists and as people as well as fully implement the Eight Codes of the Arts in their lives, specifically brotherhood, discipline, attitude, respect, self-respect, confidence, cooperation, and dedication. Sure, he would drill them in terms of getting each and every move they throw as accurately and powerfully as possible, but he would also not hesitate to have fun with them. Just because Sensei Frank’s character is a mentor does not mean that he cannot aid his wards in kicking bad guy butt because he would also be just as active in battle as they are. Furthermore, he would also have a strong social circle consisting of Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, and Johnny Yong Bosch portraying his best friends and college roommates. All of this would make Sensei Frank’s character have more dimension than just being relegated to being the mentor.
As for the main young seven Yokai martial artists, they would definitely compliment Sensei Frank’s down-to-earth, approachable personality with their skills and their vivacity, and not trying to upstage each other. 15-year-old Sesshoumaru is the strong, honour-bound, stern co-leader who is a black belt in Karate specifically Kyokushin, Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Shito-Ryu, and Wado-Ryu, while his 14-year-old brother Inuyasha is the rowdy, fiercely loyal, bold leader who is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Kyokushin Karate and Shotokan Karate as well as growing his skills in Pankration, Bokator, and Kapu Kuialua. 14-year-old Shuran is the tough, rough yet lovable big guy who is a young champion in Professional Wrestling, Sumo Wrestling, Mongolian Wrestling, and Vale Tudo. 13-year-old Hakkaku is an energetic and enthusiastic ball of energy who is a young expert in Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, and Kajukenbo who has been competing with opponents twice and thrice his size. 13-year-old Ginta is the charming and sweet nice guy who is a young maverick in Lethwei, Sanda, and Pencak Silat. 11-year-old Ayame is the outspoken, determined, resilient tomboy who is a maven in Kickboxing, Nippon Kenpo, Koppojutsu, and Boxing. 9-year-old Shunran is the mischievous, cheeky, clever girly genius who is quick on her feet in Capoeira, Shaolin Kung Fu, Wing Chun, and Wushu. Life for Sensei Frank portraying their mentor would never be boring by any stretch of the imagination, especially when they call themselves Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew, and the seven-member Black Belt Crew would show their unbridled respect and unconditional love to Sensei Jason as if though he were their big brother/young father figure.
Where the show’s format would be concerned, it might also draw inspiration from the 1986 Karate Kommandos cartoon, the 1983 Mister T cartoon, the 1972 Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids cartoon, and the 1970 Harlem Globetrotters cartoon in the sense that Jason David Frank would play a fictionalised and animated version of himself alongside Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran when they were young plus Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, and Johnny Yong Bosch portraying his friends even having them in their real-life live-action forms as well as the seven young Yokai martial artists still in their anime forms interacting with Frank on occasion. This would mean that Sensei Frank would portray the Danza on his show with live-action segments consisting of Frank himself introducing and concluding today’s episode just like what Bill Cosby, Mr T, and Chuck Norris did in their shows. There would also be a huge mixture of Sensei Jason and his seven young Yokai wards being involved in solving mysteries, stopping crime, and kicking bad guy butt while also dealing with relevant social issues such as peer pressure, divorce, the dangers of gang violence, the perils of gun violence in schools and in the work place, racism, parental abandonment, kidnapping, child abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, vandalism, school bullying, depression, and dealing with children coming from troubled backgrounds. At the centre of all this would be Sensei Jason consistently incorporating how important it is to use martial arts to defend and protect others, improve one’s self, keep the peace within the community, and never to incite any form of violence. Therefore, Sensei Jason and The Black Belt Crew would be a show that can be entertaining, informative, fun, and intriguing balancing action, comedy, human drama, edutainment, and thrills without being condescending to its viewers, pushing the envelope too much, and being patronising with its morals and messages. This show would definitely last for a great three years on Cartoon Network before Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran become the Mighty Morphin Inurangers, which is another story for another time. However, for now, I am confident that this is something Ted Turner would have loved to have on Cartoon Network in the 1990s.
Sensei Jason David Frank starring alongside Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran on a show together alongside Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, and Johnny Yong Bosch as recurring characters and allies to the group would have made for great television and a long-lasting career highlight in Sensei Frank’s and his wards careers as martial artists and as individuals. The Splendid Seven would be really grateful to have Sensei Frank as their mentor, while Sensei Frank would be really happy to consider his seven young Yokai wards to be like family, specifically akin to his younger siblings.
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.

The Splendid Seven in The White Ranger Kata
June 23, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This “What if Character was in This Scene/Episode/Story” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, and fans who admire the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Jason David Frank’s tenure as Tommy Oliver during the show’s run as well as his stint in his second karate instructional video within the Power Rangers franchise, and The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Sit back, relax, and revel in how Jason David Frank would have been happy to have Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran return as his guest students in 1996 back when he was a young adult and when the seven Yokai warriors grew as martial artists.
Jason David Frank has struck again and so have Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran when they were children. This time they are going to take their martial arts skills to the desert, and it is going to get bigger than ever. Furthermore, the moves that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are going to demonstrate to Sensei Frank’s students are also going to be more elaborate than before.
We take ourselves back to January 30, 1996, which was the date The White Ranger Kata was released to video, and Jason David Frank was 22 years old during filming. While Sensei Frank is training his students, seven Yokai martial artists return in their respective martial arts attires. They are 14-year-old Sesshoumaru, 13-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 12-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 10-year-old Ayame, and 8-year-old Shunran. 14-year-old Sesshoumaru and 13-year-old Inuyasha have been competing in junior Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, and Judo tournaments ever since they were 5 and 4 years old respectively and have become black belts at such a young age. 13-year-old Shuran has started competing in Professional Wrestling while never forgetting about his roots in Jujitsu. 12-year-old Hakkaku continues to grow as a Muay Thai practitioner and has found himself competing in junior Muay Thai tournaments. 12-year-old Ginta continues to grow in his skills in Lethwei and Sanda and is competing in junior Sanda tournaments. 10-year-old Ayame has acquired her black belt in Nippon Kenpo and has found herself competing in junior kickboxing tournaments. 8-year-old Shunran has been growing as a Capoeira practitioner while also competing in junior Shaolin Kung Fu tournaments. Sensei Frank introduces Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran to his students, for they first met him a year ago, and tells them about the martial arts they have been practicing ever since they were little children. In return, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran express excitement and enthusiasm to partake in Sensei Frank’s White Ranger Kata class.
Once again, Sensei Frank wants to see how much Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have been growing in their moves. He even sees that the seven Yokai martial artists continue to grow in formidability, precision, passion, and enthusiasm. He does this by doing a roll-call and the attacks he has in store for them. Shunran throws him a butterfly kick, axe kick, machine gun kick combo. Ayame throws him a reverse punch, hook, jab combo. Ginta throws him a knee strike, elbow strike, knife-hand combo. Hakkaku throws him a shin kick, shoulder strike, head-butt combo. Shuran throws him a palm strike, shoulder check, joint lock combo. Inuyasha throws a Superman punch, Hammer fist, spinning back kick combo. Sesshoumaru throws him an axe kick, lunge punch, leopard blow combo. Sensei Frank compliments all seven young Yokai martial artists for their continued dedication to their martial arts skills. In return, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran continue to stay with the class and even listen to Sensei Frank’s various flashbacks when he was a child just like them.
If I were in Sensei Frank’s position, I would attest that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have been growing so wonderfully as martial artists and as individuals. Moreover, I can only wish them all the best in their wonderful growth and be proud of them.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and may the power protect you, everybody.

This “What if Character was in This Scene/Episode/Story” meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, and fans who admire the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Jason David Frank’s tenure as Tommy Oliver during the show’s run as well as his stint in his first karate instructional video within the Power Rangers franchise, and The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran. Sit back, relax, and revel in how Jason David Frank would be happy to have Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as his guest students in 1994 back when he was a young adult and the seven Yokai warriors were children.
Ah, Jason David Frank. We meet again. Rediscovering Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Ranger Turbo’s first half, and Power Rangers Dino Thunder has made me appreciate Hanshi Frank not only as a martial artist and charming actor, but also somebody who was truly passionate about the Power Rangers franchise. Yes, according to interviews, he intends to retire from the Power Rangers franchise in order to focus on a project he has been working on known as The Legend of the White Dragon, but he was, is, and will always be the face and the moves of the Power Rangers franchise. Furthermore, through his creation of Toso Kune Do, he has made me appreciate his signature Eight Codes of the Arts which have become a slogan as well as a way of life. What better way to stroll down memory lane than having an idea that I found really fascinating when it came to his first Karate instructional video The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Karate Club Level 1 while combining that with having my favourite seven Yokai warriors joining along when they were still children.
We find ourselves back in 1994, as Jason David Frank was around 21 years old during the time of this particular karate instructional video. While Sensei Frank is training his young students in the main art of karate, seven young Yokai martial artists arrive at the Angel Grove Gym and Juice Bar in their respective martial arts uniforms. They are 13-year-old Sesshoumaru, 12-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 11-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 9-year-old Ayame, and 7-year-old Shunran. Sensei Frank and his students are overjoyed to see them because each of them specialise in various martial arts. 13-year-old Sesshoumaru and his 12-year-old brother Inuyasha are black belts in Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, Japanese Jujitsu, and Brazilian Jujitsu. 12-year-old Shuran is a black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu and Japanese Jujitsu while growing in Professional Wrestling. 11-year-old Hakkaku has been learning Muay Thai ever since he was a 3-year-old boy. 11-year-old Ginta has been learning Lethwei and Sanda when he was also 3 years old. 9-year-old Ayame has been growing as a practitioner in Nippon Kenpo and Kickboxing. 7-year-old Shunran has been studying Capoeira and Shaolin Kung Fu ever since she was a toddler. Sensei Frank introduces his students to the young seven Yokai martial artists, as Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have been learning and competing in their respective martial arts ever since they were very young children and have been gaining acclaim in Japan and in the world for their prodigious martial arts skills. They have even displayed dedication and determination in growing as martial artists and as individuals. In return, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran have been adoring Sensei Frank and his stint as Tommy Oliver on Power Rangers.
In order to demonstrate how powerful and skilled Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are, Sensei Frank prepares training pads for them to knock down as he commands specific attack combos. First, he commands Shunran to throw a crescent kick, flash kick, backfist combo which she does. Second is Ayame and her axe kick, right hook, left cross punch combo. Third is Ginta and his knee strike, elbow strike, head-butt combo. Fourth is Hakkaku and his knee strike, elbow strike, shin kick combo. Fifth is Shuran and his palm strike, joint lock, arm bar combo. Sixth is Inuyasha and his uppercut, hook, spinning back kick combo. Last but not least is Sesshoumaru and his reverse punch, jab, roundhouse kick combo. After that demonstration, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran remain for the rest of the class and serve as sparring partners and demonstration assistants for Sensei Frank’s students, thus making his class even more fun and interesting.
Sensei Frank having young, prodigious, talented Yokai martial artists such as Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran along for his class makes this a fun experience not just for him but also for his students as well. Their skills and experiences as very young martial artists as well as the passion, dedication, and are sufficient reasons for Sensei Frank to be ecstatic to have Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as guests in his video.
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.

Emperors of Annihilation
June 20, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This piece of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha fan art is dedicated to forever-a-fangirl, crystaltoys, mattwilson83, SugarBubbles2000, crystaltoys, forever-a-fangirl-14, and M-Skirvin who celebrated their birthdays ranging from yesterday until today. So, I wish you wonderful birthdays as well as a lot of love, joy, prosperity, and abundance in your lives as artists and as people. This is is also dedicated to everybody who is thoroughly invested in Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s competitive brotherhood. Sit back, relax, and appreciate how complete martial artists such as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha can use their skills in grappling, striking, clinching, and taking their opponents down so effectively and with all of their might, strength, power, fierceness, and fortitude.
(The Splendid Seven’s elaborate cave home gym. Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s dojo is adorned with two giant Makiwaras and a huge silver block in the centre. Sesshoumaru gives his Makiwara a barrage of knife hands, uppercuts, hooks, jabs, cross punches, reverse punches, roundhouse kicks, front kicks, shin kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes. Inuyasha, on the other hand, gives his Makiwara a barrage of uppercuts, reverse punches, jabs, hooks, cross punches, front punches, side kicks, spinning back kicks, roundhouse kicks, elbow strikes, and shin kicks. With every punch, kick, and strike the brothers do, their Makiwaras resound and reverberate so intensely. Sesshoumaru’s finishing move is a jab, hook, cross punch, roundhouse kick, spinning back kick combo, while Inuyasha’s finishing move is an uppercut, jab, hook, reverse punch, backfist, spinning back kick combo which dent their respective Makiwaras despite still standing strong. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha sense somebody is coming, as they turn intensely to the audience ready to launch an attack.)
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: EYAAAAAAH!!!!!!
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha stand erect from their stance and put their fists to their side.)
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (bowing down): Osu!
Sesshoumaru: Welcome to our humble dojo.
Inuyasha: We want you to feel right at home.
Sesshoumaru: Just so you know, my dear brother and I have been bearing a formidable sense of brotherhood, comradeship, and camaraderie from infancy to childhood to adolescence to adulthood. We have been unbreakable ever since, and we have even passed that camaraderie down to the people we are happy to call our family.
Inuyasha: My awesome brother and I have always made it our duty to honour and respect our family, our dojo, and our friends. Plus, I am just as pumped up to spar with Sesshoumaru every single waking day because we respect and care for each other, and we always push each other to be the best fighters that we can be.
Sesshoumaru: Every martial arts tournament has made us stronger, more determined, and more honoured to encounter various warriors from different backgrounds.
Inuyasha: And a good number of them have become our friends.
Sesshoumaru: However, make no mistake. Neither our dojo nor our family is to be taken for granted let alone besmirched. Moreover, you dare not dishonour me, my brother, our adoptive brothers, our father, our mother, our adoptive mother, our grandfather-in-law, my brother’s wife, our younger sister-in-law, our children, and our grandchildren because we have invested our hearts and souls to establish our home.
Inuyasha: In short, any harm done to me, my brother, and all our family is harm and shame inflicted on our dojo. Don’t think for one nanosecond that you could just waltz in here and vandalise our abode because my bro and I got eyes and ears everywhere. Yeah, I said it. So, I would be really careful if I were in your shoes.
Sesshoumaru: Little brother, why don’t we demonstrate to our viewers what would happen if invaders or vandals dared to besmirch our dojo and our family.
Inuyasha: Sure thing, big bro.
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha approach the huge silver block, go behind it, turn to the audience, and bow.)
Sesshoumaru: Let this be a lesson on pain.
Inuyasha: And punishment.
Sesshoumaru: Should you be so brazen to vandalise our dojo, violate our family’s good name, and incite any form of violence against me and my brother…
(Sesshoumaru gets into his Ansatsuken stance prepared to fight, while a demonic aura radiates around him, glowing red.)
Inuyasha: And if you think it’s okay for you to hurt my brother, my wife, our adoptive brothers, my little sister-in-law, our parents, my grandpa-in-law, our kids, and our grandkids…
(Inuyasha also gets into his Ansatsuken stance also prepared to fight, while a demonic aura radiates around him, glowing red.)
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: We’re gonna…Haaah…..
(Sesshoumaru pulls his left fist back, while Inuyasha’s pulls his right fist back.)
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: TOH! YAH! HAH! CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU CHU! HWAH YAH! GRRR! RAH! YAH! HAH! HYAH! Haaaaaah…….YAAAAAHHH!!!!!
(Sesshoumaru throws a left punch, while Inuyasha throws a right punch on the silver block. Both brothers proceed to give the silver block a flurry of jabs before giving it one huge jab, a straight punch, an uppercut, a flying kick, an axe kick, a hammer punch, and a massive straight punch, thus destroying the huge silver block to smithereens. As soon as they are done destroying the huge silver block with their barrage of punches and kicks, the aura dissipates, and they are back to normal.)
Sesshoumaru: We hope we made our point clear.
Inuyasha: Don’t even try to mess with us because we’ll be out to take you down.
Sesshoumaru: Until then, we wish you well on your path to becoming a strong warrior.
Inuyasha: And we hope you can train with us real soon.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha (bowing down): Osu!
I have saved the best for last when it comes to martial arts tournament attires revolving around the match between The Splendid Seven versus Ulrich Wernerstein and his bodybuilder goons. This time it is the Inu Brothers who shall take centre stage. 40 going on 41-year-old Sesshoumaru and 39 going on 40-year-old Inuyasha are living proof that they are warriors who never surrender even when the chips are down. This is also reflected on their main martial art which is Taisho-Style Ansatsuken which combines Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Goju-Ryu Karate, Shorin-Ryu Karate, Shito-Ryu Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Pankration, Ancient Greek Wrestling, Ancient Greek Boxing, Judo, Japanese Jujitsu, Brazilian Jujitsu, and Kapu Kuialua. This means that both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are extremely lethal when it comes to their mastery of this particularly extreme hybrid martial art. Furthermore, the Inu Brothers are truly dangerous fighters who can inflict a multitude of damage to their opponents regardless if they stand, go on the ground or go close contact.
Sesshoumaru’s outfit is a combination of Ryu Hoshi and Kazuya Mishima, for he has Ryu’s karate gloves as well as Kazuya’s foot guards and karate gi pants flame design. Sure, I did go a bit crazy with the red and gold flame design, but this demonstrates how fierce and formidable Sesshoumaru is as an upstanding Ansatsuken practitioner known for his deadly precision and brutal takedowns.
Inuyasha’s outfit is totally reminiscent of Ken Masters and Paul Phoenix, thus combining the red gi pants with the black karate gloves and the black foot guards. Not only does Inuyasha fit that attire so well, but he does also possess Ken’s charisma and Paul’s toughness to a tee, thus making him an outstanding Ansatsuken practitioner known for his brute strength and lethally powerful blows.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are lord high emperors when it comes to inflicting insurmountable collateral damage to their opponents by virtue of their punches, kicks, grapples, clinches, and strikes. Attempting to combat them is akin to signing your own death warrant. You have been warned.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and always be prepared to kick butt, everybody.

Harbingers of Destruction
June 19, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This piece of Hakkaku, Shuran, and Ginta fan art is dedicated to everybody who is invested in Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s brotherhood. Sit back, relax, and discover how combining a powerful grappler like Shuran with quick clinchers and strikers like Hakkaku and Ginta can cause collateral damage with as much leverage, force, quick reflexes, and tact they can offer.
(The Splendid Seven’s elaborate cave home gym. Three tall, strong metallic trees are aligned as training equipment. Shuran throws palm strikes, backfists, bearhugs, joint locks, headlocks, arm bars, and low kicks on the metallic silver tree until it bends over. Hakkaku throws elbow strikes, knee strikes, shin kicks, ankle strikes, head-butts, jabs, and uppercuts on the gold metallic tree until it almost falls. Ginta throws head-butts, knee strikes, elbow strikes, shin kicks, front punches, roundhouse kicks, and knife hands on the gold/silver metallic tree until multiple dents form. The metallic trees become even more dented and bent, with Shuran’s finishing move being a mega palm strike, Hakkaku’s being a mighty shin kick, and Ginta’s being an elbow strike and head-butt combo. Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta then look at the audience.)
Shuran: Well, well, well. Look who we have here, dear brothers.
Hakkaku: Enemies to destroy.
Ginta: Trespassers to vanquish.
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: So little time. Hehehe.
Shuran: Looks like all of you sitting at home are going to be in for a wild ride when we come for you.
Hakkaku: We’ll make this clear and brief.
Ginta: So, take notes and listen well, for what we have to declare is neither a joke nor a game.
Shuran: We hold our family with high value and importance. Any attempt to vanquish us will be all for naught because I can break you in two. How, you ask? By getting close to your body and squeezing the life out of you. You want specifics? I’ll give you specifics. I could wrap my hands around your neck and wring it. I could give you bearhugs, back-breakers, neck-breakers, joint locks, headlocks, and many other submission holds I could name off the top of my head that I have learned in my career as a wrestler and a bodyguard. I could deliver palm strikes to your face until it becomes a deformed, bruised, and bloodied mess. I could even take you sorry lot to the ground and choke you out. But, because I am a generous guy and I care so much about Hakkaku and Ginta as my brothers, best friends, and comrades, I am simply going to perform a Full Nelson on you and not let you escape.
Hakkaku and Ginta: Aw, shucks, Shuran. You are the greatest brother guys like us could ever have.
(Hakkaku and Ginta give Shuran a fist bump.)
Hakkaku: Anyways, once Shuran puts you in that Full Nelson, we could do all sorts of attacks on you. I could shin kick and knee strike you multiple times until you suffer from blood loss.
Ginta: I could head-butt you and strike you with my elbows until you suffer from a concussion. Either way, we could inflict so much damage on you–
Hakkaku: that your whole body will shrivel into one bloody mess. And trust us. Nobody is going to weep for you if you dare launch an invasion.
Shuran: We hope we made ourselves perfectly clear. If you think your lame attacks could work on us, you have another thing coming.
(Shuran gets into a stance that is a combination of Sumo Wrestling, Mongolian Wrestling, and Sambo.)
Hakkaku: Because we are all prepared.
(Hakkaku gets into a stance that is a combination of Muay Thai and Pradal Serey.)
Ginta: And any form of escape is beyond futile.
(Ginta gets into a stance that is a combination of Lethwei and Silat.)
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta: We’re coming for you. AAAAAH!!! (Shuran lands a palm strike, Hakkaku lands a knee strike, and Ginta lands an elbow strike.)
The martial arts tournament attires revolving around the match between The Splendid Seven versus Ulrich Wernerstein and his bodybuilder goons strike again, as 39-year-old Hakkaku, 39 going on 40-year-old Shuran, and 38 going on 39-year-old Ginta are suited up to kick a lot of butt.
Standing in the centre is Shuran whose outfit is a combination of E. Honda’s mawashi as well as Zangief’s wrist bands and ankle bands, except his ensemble is all emerald green with some gold. This illustrates how adept Shuran is in the Eastern wrestling styles of Sumo and Mongolian Wrestling and in the more Western styles of Sambo and Vale Tudo, thus becoming a most formidable opponent to anybody who dares to challenge him.
On the left is Hakkaku in his Muay Thai attire akin to Sagat and Joe Higashi but in his signature colour of forest green. While he is also adept in Pradal Serey and Kajukenbo, Hakkaku’s main martial art is indubitably Muay Thai, for he combines rapidness and lethal takedowns through his clinches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and shin kicks.
On the right is Ginta in his Lethwei attire almost akin to Adon and his short design is almost akin to Lei Wulong’s, except in his signature colour of light brown. He even combines Silat, Sanda, and Jeet Kune Do in his fighting style to make him lethal, especially in his shin kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and head-butts.
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta are capable of combining their fighting skills to give their enemies a huge beating they are never forget, especially when Shuran implements his Full Nelson and Ginta and Hakkaku use their elbows, knees, and shins to cause collateral damage.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and always be prepared to kick butt, everybody.

Seraphs of Obliteration
June 18, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This piece of Ayame and Shunran fan art is dedicated to danytatu, Sirena93, KBinitialDream8250, ep462, Glee-chan, Akus4ever, LeakeyAnimation, LizithaOTAKU, mblairll, Wolf-KunChan, and EddsworldFanboi2004 who celebrated their birthdays ranging from last week to yesterday. I hope you all had wonderful birthdays, and I wish you a lot of love, joy, and prosperity in your lives as artists and as people. This is also dedicated to everybody who is invested in Ayame’s and Shunran’s sisterhood. Sit back, relax, and find out why prominent strikers such as Ayame and Shunran should never be underestimated.
(The Splendid Seven’s elaborate cave home gym. Ayame works on her uppercuts, jabs, hooks, cross punches, haymakers, reverse punches, overhand punches, front kicks, and side kicks on one punching bag, while Shunran works on her roundhouse kicks, spinning back kicks, crescent kicks, flash kicks, shuriken corks, boxcutters, cart double full hyper hooks, knife hands, and backfists on the other punching bag. The intensity that both Yokai warrior women emit on those bags is really high that the gym feels like it is shaking akin to an earthquake. Their finishing blow is an uppercut, hook, spinning roundhouse kick combo. Ayame and Shunran then look at the audience.)
Ayame: Hey, I hope you all enjoyed watching what we’ve been doing.
Shunran: Because we could use those moves on you if you’re not careful.
Ayame: Let’s just say that one false move on us, one inappropriate grope, and/or one slip-up can mean that you are going to enter a world of agony when you cross our paths.
Shunran: We’ll make sure that your bodies will end up badly bruised even if you fall on your knees.
Ayame: You might think that just because I have been married to Inuyasha for over twenty-seven years that I would rather have him beat you to a pulp and have his buff body be bathed in your blood.
Shunran: And you might think that just because I have been married to my darling Ginta for nearly twenty-five years that I would just play the “obedient housewife” and let him do all of the work. Well, we have news for you.
Ayame and Shunran: You are damn wrong!
Ayame: I could mercilessly knock you down with my fists before you could open your insulting mouth if you think it’s okay to try to have your way with me.
Shunran: As for me, I could turn my feet and legs into weapons of mass destruction just to make you numb if you think I am worth groping.
Ayame: Whatever you think you can do with us and with our family–
Shunran: We would never dare to back down, and we can dish out a whole bunch of strikes to put you out of business.
Ayame: I’m always prepared to give you felons knockouts to my heart’s content.
(Ayame gets into her kickboxing stance.)
Shunran: I’m always ready to deliver my kicks to make you fall down.
(Shunran gets into her Capoeira stance.)
Ayame and Shunran: Either way, you’re going down really hard like a bomb about to go off. (Ayame throws a left jab, while Shunran throws a roundhouse kick.) HYAH!
Ladies and gentlemen, if you remembered my filled-out death battle meme revolving around The Splendid Seven fighting against Ulrich Wernerstein and his bodybuilder goons as well as my written entry revolving around The Splendid Seven’s fighting game mentors, you will recognise that I have also added in some clothing details for my beloved seven Yokai warriors. Who better to begin this than with the fine ladies of The Splendid Seven, 36 going on 37-year-old Ayame and 35-year-old Shunran.
Ayame’s outfit is predominantly inspired by Cammy White, a bit of Chun-Li, and a slight amount of Nina Williams in terms of the overall ensemble. Ayame’s all-red ensemble demonstrates that she is a kickboxer and boxer who is never to be messed with who can deliver a barrage of punches and kicks to any and every felon who dares to put her down. She could very well be an honorary member of Delta Red due to her strength and agility.
Shunran’s outfit is a somewhat tamer version of Christie Monteiro’s and Elena’s outfits, given that they are also Capoeiristas, while maintaining her signature design from the show. Her outfit demonstrates the East and West influence of her martial arts style that combines Capoeira’s dance-like movements with Shaolin Kung Fu’s lethalness, thus making Shunran be thoroughly defined by her flexibility and cleverness.
Ayame and Shunran are mighty warrior women never to be messed with, and they have the moves to prove it, especially when it comes to Ayame and her powerful punches as well as Shunran and her kinetic kicks.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and always be prepared to kick butt, everybody.

Blue Skies and Oceans Forever
June 17, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This piece of Ginta x Shunran and GinShun next-gen fan art is my seventh and final submission for mysterysneeze’s contest. Sit back, relax, and revel in how Ginta and Shunran fancy taking their youngest twin daughters Kokoro and Katsuho to the beach every time the skies are clear and nearly cloudless.
Seventeen years ago in Feudal Era Japan, 2-year-olds Kokoro and Katsuho were euphorically cheery and bubbly little girls before growing up to become graceful, crafty, and fleet-footed Capoeiristas. 21 going on 22-year-old Ginta and his 18-year-old wife Shunran would always take their 2-year-old youngest daughters Kokoro and Katsuho to their favourite beach where the sand was gold, the islands overlooking the beach had blue-green grass, and the ocean was deep blue. It was a great time for them to take a swim, but not before Kokoro and Katsuho sniffed in way too much of the good, fresh, and clean sea breeze that they sneezed. At least it was no big deal, and Ginta, Shunran, Kokoro, and Katsuho proceeded to enjoy their swim.
There you have it. My final entry for mysterysneeze’s contest. I definitely enjoyed partaking, and I hope to partake in more contests of this ilk where I can give my Inuyasha, let alone Splendid Seven, next-generation characters the spotlight, not just the main Splendid Seven themselves. 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 Ginta and Shunran as a loving couple as well as their charming children, everybody.
