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 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 shall practice shall 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.

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.

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.

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.

These wrestler kings have the muscles of steel and iron as well as heroic handsomeness which make them absolutely grand to see in the arena.
