The Fourteen Anime Martial Arts Teams: Sheer Might

Greetings, anime fans, martial arts aficionados, fighting game devotees, and enthusiasts of all things about anime, martial arts, video games, and fighting tournaments. Antoni here with another written entry. I can never have enough of my Fourteen Anime Martial Arts Teams AU headcanon. Therefore, I decided to switch things up a bit and add more edge to a good chunk of the teams while rearranging two teams. The tweaks serve as a reminder that a lot of the martial arts some team members practice will resonate with them a lot more. Furthermore, the same rule applies that there are seven members per team, one martial art per member, and they shall be arranged from oldest to youngest, complete with their birthdays and current ages. The only new addition is the signature technique. With that said, let’s get ready to rumble. Osu! Hajime! The Scarily Splendid Seven (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran) What happens when two mightily powerful dog Yokai warrior brothers in Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, three spiky-haired Yokai warrior brothers in Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and two auburn-haired sisters step into the arena? The audience would cheer so loudly, and these seven Yokai warriors would shower their opponents with insurmountable amounts of terrifying intimidation. Their formidable combat prowess is akin to being mauled and massacred by powerful lions, strong tigers, and grizzly bears. Furthermore, these seven Yokai warriors have the ear-splitting roars to prove that they mean business in thoroughly destroying their enemies with their prodigious might. Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha– Strong Style Professional Wrestling; February 7, 1981; 44 years old; Canadian Backbreaker Racks Shuran from Inuyasha– King’s Road Professional Wrestling; January 24, 1982; 43 years old; Argentinian Backbreaker Racks Inuyasha from Inuyasha– Ancient Greek Wrestling or Palé; January 31, 1982; 43 years old; Bearhugs Hakkaku from Inuyasha– Khmer Traditional Wrestling or Baok Cham Bab; March 9, 1983; 42 years old; Anaconda Chokes Ginta from Inuyasha– Rakhine Traditional Wrestling or Kyin; March 16, 1983; 42 years old; Chicken Wing Armlocks Ayame from Inuyasha– Vale Tudo; February 22, 1985; 40 years old; Ground-and-Pounds Shunran from Inuyasha– Mixed Martial Arts; March 1, 1986; Sprawl-and-Brawls The Superbly Sweeping Septet (Ichise, Kiba, Kintaro, Ran, Cheza, Ayu, and Nina) Formidable strength found in Ichise, Kiba, and Kintaro Toyama, unbreakable focus demonstrated by Ran and Cheza, and well-timed accuracy accomplished by Ayu Tateishi and Nina Sakura are the attributes that have made them thrive in the world’s martial arts arenas. These seven mavericks work so beautifully in synergy that it is impossible for the audience to take their eyes off of them. Ichise’s, Kiba’s, and Kintaro’s mighty command of grappling holds and brutalizing strikes, Ran’s and Cheza’s focused strikes, and Ayu’s and Nina’s speedy strikes put them on the map as a septet of consummate warriors with clear direction, unparalleled balance, and astounding teamwork. Ichise from Texhnolyze– Luta Livre Profissional; March 23, 1984; 41 years old; Double Axe Handles Kiba from Wolf’s Rain– Luta Livre Olímpico; November 25, 1984; 41 years old; European Uppercuts Kintaro Toyama from Detective School Q– Luta Livre Esportiva; November 28, 1984; 41 years old; Forearm Clubs Ran from Texhnolyze– Wing Chun; April 10, 1989; 36 years old; Leopard Blows Cheza from Wolf’s Rain– Bajiquan; April 12, 1989; 36 years old; Tiger Claw Strikes Ayu Tateishi from Ultra Maniac– Baguazhang; April 16, 1989; 36 years old; Eagle Claw Strikes Nina Sakura from Ultra Maniac– Changquan; April 22, 1989; 36 years old; Crane Beak Strikes Zeus’s Muscle Emperors (Yoshiki, Mamoru, Kuranosuke, Tsume, Mitsuhide, Kisuke, and Shinosuke) Massively magnificent muscles that resemble mountain ranges and boundlessly beefy brawn, durable as a hard alloy of iron, steel, titanium, and platinum, are what Yoshiki Takaishi, Mamoru Takamura, Kuranosuke Takeda, Tsume, Mitsuhide Kuroda, Kisuke, and Shinosuke are made of as musclebound warlord wrestler and bodybuilder emperors. They can turn the most fearsome of ogres and giants into mere men, thanks to their prodigiously godly command of submission holds and finishing techniques. If that were not enough, their volcanically earth-shattering roars can make sasquatches, grizzly bears, gorillas, and lions flee, and King Grayskull himself truly proud of them. Yoshiki Takaishi from Shootfighter Tekken– West African Wrestling or Lutte Traditionelle; December 25, 1979; 46 years old; Gorilla Press Slams Mamoru Takamura from Hajime no Ippo– Gambian Wrestling or Boreh; July 7, 1980; 45 years old; Fireman’s Carry Slams Kuranosuke Takeda from Inuyasha– Togolese Wrestling or Evala; July 28, 1980; 45 years old; Airplane Spins Tsume from Wolf’s Rain– Senegalese Wrestling or Laamb; April 4, 1981; 44 years old; Samoan Drops Mitsuhide Kuroda from Shootfighter Tekken– Hausa Wrestling or Kokowa; April 8, 1981; 44 years old; Electric Chair Drops Kisuke from Inuyasha– Sudanese Wrestling or Nuba; April 12, 1981; 44 years old; Guillotine Drops Shinosuke from Inuyasha– Yoruban Wrestling or Gidigbo; April 16, 1981; 44 years old; Full Nelson Slams Heracles’s Titanium Muscle Emperors (Baki, Ryoma, Kurz, Mario, Masaru, Tatsuya, and Takeshi) King Grayskull, He-Man, Conan of Cimmeria, Ka-Zar of the Savage Lands, and Hercules can place olive wreaths and gold medals on Baki Hanma, Ryoma Sakamoto, Kurz Weber, Mario Musicanova, Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura, and Takeshi Sendo. This is because these seven emperor god wrestlers and bodybuilders have magnificently mountainous muscles of steel, titanium, iron, and platinum, as well as copious amounts of virility, courage, and heroism to conquer every competition in the arena. Moreover, they have the amazingly earth-shattering roars that can make lions, tigers, gorillas, and grizzly bears blush with terrible anguish and envy, while rapidly fleeing from the scene. Baki Hanma from Baki the Grappler– Malla-yuddha; December 30, 1981; 44 years old; Burning Hammers Ryoma Sakamoto from Shura no Toki– Pehlwani; January 3, 1982; 43 years old; Powerbombs Kurz Weber from Full Metal Panic– Inbuan; April 1, 1982; 43 years old; Piledrivers Mario Musicanova from Geneshaft– Mukna; July 26, 1982; 43 years old; Body Avalanches Masaru Aoki from Hajime no Ippo– Malakhra; September 9, 1982; 43 years old; Full Nelsons Tatsuya Kimura from Hajime no Ippo– Malyutham; October 10, 1982; 43 years old; Camel…

JS Short Cuts: In Defense of A Kid in King Arthur’s Court

In this episode of JS Short Cuts, I’m defending the critically panned movie “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” and while I think the uncut version, which you can check out for $1 per month on Patreon, goes into better details I think this version still does a fun job getting my points across as clear as possible despite the hard time I had with editing the episode.
