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. As a follow-up to my previous post regarding my fourteen seven-person anime martial arts team-ups, I thought it would be nice to feature an idea born out of my good friend, Jeffrey Quick aka Ginga1122. He has been wanting his OTP Dudley and Daisy from the 2010 Nickelodeon cartoon T.U.F.F. Puppy to be featured in my anime martial arts AU headcanon consisting of fourteen teams of seven anime characters each possessing different combat styles. Well, Jeff, your wish has come true. Mind you, I have also put Dudley's and Daisy's human ages on show. As for the martial arts, they will learn from each group, they will be divided into weeks and sorted according to the individual signature techniques they will learn per anime martial artist. Enjoy.
Tokyo, Japan. May 17, 2014, which was the date that "Girlfriend or Foe?" aired on Nicktoons Network. 26-year-old Dudley Puppy and his 24-year-old wife Daisy Spaniel-Puppy were enthusiastic to set foot in Tokyo for fourteen weeks of total martial arts immersion. Joining them were their seven children: 4-year-old twin sons Damien Callum Puppy and Darren Carlton Puppy, 3-year-old triplet sons Dennis Edward Puppy, David Elmer Puppy, and Devon Ezekiel Puppy; and 2-year-old twin daughters Dorothy Grace Puppy and Dominique Glory Puppy. The Puppy family set into their new apartment with their bags unpacked and itineraries ready for fourteen weeks of intense martial arts training. Damien, Darren, Dennis, David, Devon, Dorothy, and Dominique were still very young toddlers trying out what their parents were about to get themselves into. Nevertheless, they were about to soak in new skills that would help them grow into the valiant fighters that their parents were.
Dudley and Daisy, given their occupations of working as agents and combat specialists for the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force or T.U.F.F. for short, saw in their little children's eyes that they were just as excited to learn the techniques that their parents were going to learn. Therefore, they agreed that their children needed to start out young for them to grow well as fighters. Time waited for nobody. Dudley and Daisy prepared themselves for some intense training, while their seven children were going to be as immersed as their parents were. The journey has just begun, learning various techniques and trying to remain in one piece.
Week 1- The Splendid Seven of Nerima: Feral Beasts Roar (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran)
Dudley's and Daisy's first mentors were a septet of Yokai martial artists renowned for their feral brutality in international martial arts tournaments. They were excited to train under them, as their children also heard great stories of Sesshoumaru's deadly chokes, Shuran's brute strength, Inuyasha's rampaging brawn, Hakkaku's undying charm, Ginta's unwavering charisma, Ayame's determined fierceness, and Shunran's gorgeous elegance. Their parents reminded them that they were famous for winning against opponents stronger than they were. One example was during the winter 2004 Austrian Alps martial arts tournament.

Week 2- The Radioactive Rebels of Shinjuku: Vicious Cyclones Cometh (Shido, Ban, Ginji, Kyuzo, Heihachi, Satella, and Akemi)
After dealing with an enormous number of thrashings from the seven Yokai warriors with attitude, it was off to Shinjuku to encounter Dudley's and Daisy's next set of mentors. If they thought that their previous training week was ferocious, the second week was going to be more lethally taxing. Shido Fuyuki, Ban Mido, and Ginji Amano were famous for trapping their opponents using various joint locks and chokeholds. Kyuzo and Heihachi Hayashida possessed lightning-fast kicks. Satella Harvenheit and Akemi Takaishi used their strikes as weapons of mass destruction. Dudley and Daisy would need stealth to endure this week.

Week 3- The Quicksilver Quantums of Adachi: Missiles on Fire (Masaru, Tatsuya, Ryuichi, Mario, Hiroto, Sakurako, and Kuniko)
The previous week went as fast as any of the chokeholds, kicks, and strikes that Dudley and Daisy endured. Their seven children still cheered for their parents and continued to be well-fed with the finest international cuisine that Tokyo had to offer. There was no time for rest, as Dudley and Daisy proceeded to visit martial arts mentors famous for their military precision. Tales were told of Masaru Aoki's toughness, Tatsuya Kimura's focus, Ryuichi Hayami's accuracy, Mario Musicanova's leverage, Hiroto Amagiwa's maneuvering, Sakurako Yukihira's directness, and Kuniko's agility, and those tales came to full-fledged fruition.

Dudley and Daisy grew in precision and accuracy with their attacks. Their seven children not only noticed their parents' growth as fighters, but they were also involved in the family business of picking up new techniques. Now, the anthropomorphic dog couple encountered intimidating and virile champions who were about to give them lessons in overpowering muscle in Yoshiki Takaishi's and Mamoru Takamura's cases and commanding strength in Kuranosuke Takeda's, Tsume's, Kisuke's, Mitsuhide Kuroda's, and Shinosuke's cases, especially where Kuranosuke, Kisuke, and Shinosuke demand commitment to the process.

Week 5- The Kings of Formidable Fists of Setogawa: Caged Muscles (Baki, Ryoma, Takeshi, Kiibo, Alexander, Ichiro, and Ippo)
The previous week's sparring and training sessions were enough for Dudley's and Daisy's nerves to be as raw as fresh meat in a butcher's shop, given all of the testosterone-laden attacks they had to endure. Even as they fed their children and cradled them to bed, they still felt so much pain. However, it was not over yet. Baki Hanma's musclebound strength, Ryoma Sakamoto's manly muscularity, Takeshi Sendo's muscular toughness, Kiibo Miyazawa's virile brawn, Alexander Volg Zangief's steely intimidation, Ichiro Miyata's icy determination, and Ippo Makunouchi's fiery willpower were going test them in the mixed martial boxing cage.

Week 6- The Blood Empresses of Ota: Hell Hath No Fury and Rampage (Toran, Blue, Wakana, Mika, Enju, Karan, and Takako)
Dudley and Daisy always believed that every bruise, cut, and blister they acquired from the various punches and fist-related strikes were battle scars to be proud of, and they wore their battle scars with glee. With their punching repertoire gaining in momentum, coupled with some ground-and-pounds as well as some sprawl-and-brawls, they were enthusiastic for some more beatdowns. This time it was from the firebrands willing to dish out some hard pain, panic, and punishment in the forms of Toran, Blue, Wakana, Mike Seido, Enju, Karan, and Takako Kawashima. With the takedowns and striking ready, there was no rest for them.

Week 7- The Queens of Scintillating Strikes of Machida: Potent Power (Rosé T, Rose A, Winry, Megumi, Maya, Solty, and Kaoru)
All the grappling and striking with those fiery firebrands might have made Dudley and Daisy feel like jelly, but they were anticipating another round of attacks from the next set of fierce fighter women. Even with the black eyes, bruises, and hoarse voices, Dudley's and Daisy's children were still cheering for them. It was their children's encouragement that helped them be the superheroes that they needed. Rosé Thomas's firmness, Rose Anderson's resilience, Winry Rockbell's stamina, Megumi Minami's valor, Maya Orihara's intuition, Solty Revant's enthusiasm, and Kaoru Ichinose's instinct also helped them thrive as fighters and parents.

No repose could ever come Dudley's and Daisy's way after a week of joint locks and kicks. There were evenings that they could barely sleep, for they slept only three to five hours a night, due to recovering from their trainings to the point where their children had to wake them up. Dudley and Daisy were especially excited to meet three male Nak Muay Farangs and four female capoeiristas who were renowned for their speedy precision. They anticipated Ichise's sharp elbows, Kintaro Toyama's rock-hard knees, Kiba's steel shins, Ran's speed, Ayu Tateishi's acrobatics, Nina Sakura's flexibility, and Cheza's agility to give them more work.

Week 9- The Explosive Attackers of Itabashi: Flames and Snow (Hige, Katsushiro, Joshua, Myu, Luna, Kirara, and Azmaria)
Dudley's and Daisy's elbows, knees, shins, and feet had a great workout, but steely limbs of iron also need to manage quickly in weapon disarming and self-defense. The constant zeal to learn more techniques remained alive and well in them and their children, who wanted to see their parents use their growing combat skills well. Enter Hige's avidness, Katsushiro Okamoto's clarity, Joshua Christopher's conscientiousness, Myu's flexibility, Luna's precision, Kirara Mikumari's fluidity, and Azmaria Hendric's honed senses, which would be the best components for Dudley and Daisy to evade attacks and protect their dearest children.

Week 10- The Potent Rogues of Arakawa: Earthquake and Rain (Edward, Toboe, Alphonse, Lan Fan, Tiki, Mei Chang, and Leara)
Never in Dudley's and Daisy's life together as a married couple with seven children had they experienced that much limbering, stretching, and pressure-point numbing in their bodies than they endured last week. Last week's sessions served as a reminder that they could never be too careful when dealing with armed and/or unarmed opponents. There was going to be more sessions revolving around real-life fighting outside the dojo's comfort. Step in Edward Elric's fierceness, Toboe's energy, Alphonse Elric's sharpness, Lan Fan's kineticism, Tiki Musicanova's acrobatics, Mei Chang's persistence, and Leara's rapidness to iron them up.

Fresh from two weeks of learning weapon evasion techniques, it was off to the kickboxing ring for both Dudley and Daisy. Damien, Darren, Dennis, David, and Devon always wanted to try out kickboxing styles when they grew up, as the first video they watched when they were babies was a YouTube video of Andy Hug fighting against Ernesto Hoost. Who else welcomed Dudley, Daisy, and their progeny than Kurz Weber's ferocity, Atsunobu Hayashimizu's charm, Sousuke Sagara's military precision, Kyosuke Kano's fieriness, Rafael Rodrigo da Silva's quick timing, Koji Jefferson Sakai's brilliance, and Hiroshi Ichikawa's frisson to boost their spirits.

Week 12- The Vicious Kyokushin Princes of Akihabara: Steel Might (Shinji, Chrono, Syaoran, Eriol, Ryu, Kyu, and Kazuma)
Neither eviscerating elbows nor pulverizing punches nor kinetic kicks were going to get Dudley and Daisy down. The thought of enduring more full-contact hits from Kyokushin Karate's many descendants might have scared them, but it drove them to get back on their feet and continue demonstrating their mettle. Shinji Kazama's sharp mind, Chrono's quick reflexes, Li Syaoran's unwavering toughness, Eriol Hiragizawa's unfathomable steeliness, Ryu Amakusa's focused brutality, Kyu Renjo's righteous ferocity, and Kazuma Narusawa's silent intimidation surged into Dudley and Daisy to muster up more fighting spirit to the nines.
Day 78- Kudo with 29-year-old Shinji Kazama from Full Metal Panic (scissor punches)

Week 13- The Countesses of Chaos of Minato: Titanium Reflexes (Himiko, Beatrice, Remmy, Natsumi, Kaname, Tessa, and Mizuki)
Recovering from Kyokushin Karate's descendants' blows was easier said than done for Dudley and Daisy to the point where their darling children yelled loudly for their parents to greet the day. Despite being only two years old, Dorothy and Dominique wanted to learn Kyokushin Karate and its descendants. Their parents promised their little girls that they would do it when they reached the right age. Himiko Kudou's tactfulness, Beatrice Ratio's deadliness, Remmy Levi-Strauss's intellect, Natsumi Mizuki's ebullience, Kaname Chidori's ambition, Tessa Testarossa's aptness, and Mizuki Inaba's nimbleness were next in line for more combat.
Day 85- Goju-Ryu Karate with 30-year-old Himiko Kudou from GetBackers (ridge hand strikes)

After enduring a whole bevy of strikes, punches, and kicks last week, Dudley and Daisy were now at the final week of martial arts training. All their seven children were extremely elated to see their parents endure, survive, and thrive as martial artists and as total fighting heroes. All Dudley and Daisy needed to do was to face Eclair's might, Rosette Christopher's rambunctiousness, Sakura Kinomoto's honor, Tomoyo Daidouji's benevolent attitude, Meiling Li's confidence, Lumière's cooperative spirit, and Claus's charismatic motions, and they would finally complete their training. Nevertheless, they were still learning and growing.
Day 92- Kyokushin Karate with 28-year-old Eclair from Kiddy Grade (tiger's mouth strikes)
Day 93- Yoshukai Karate with 27-year-old Rosette Christopher from Chrono Crusade (bear hand strikes)
Day 94- Shotokan Karate with 26-year-old Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura (open fist strikes)

Dudley and Daisy were elated, relieved, and happy that they were able to complete fourteen weeks of martial arts training. Despite the eviscerating pain, the sleepless nights, and the insane amount of soreness all over their bodies, they were still able to thrive exceedingly well as martial artists. Damien, Darren, Dennis, David, Devon, Dorothy, and Dominique were proud of their parents for striving through their ordeals while doing everything possible to take care of them and inspire them to be the stronger fighters that they were. With heavy hearts and tears flowing from their eyes, the Puppy family bid goodbye to all of their mentors and hoped to see them next time. At least, Dudley and Daisy could have a long-haul flight back to the United States of America to recover, unwind, and still give a lot of love to their darling children. The End.
