I like how your explanation highlights the opposites of their personalities because it can also complement them respectively. Leo holds swords as they represent a noble warrior who learns to do what it takes Raph's weapons force him to get in close and personal with an opponent. He's not afraid to risk his safety and can only do damage by confronting what others would find too close for comfort. He's willing to find out the hard way what risks he can and can't afford. Donnie is almost the complete opposite of Raph. He prefers to avoid conflict but if it must be done, he can do so without getting into melee range. He can end a battle quickly without getting too involved, while also avoiding serious or fatal damage to the enemy. Mikey is just the wild card who has the most skill but least discipline. His carelessness can put him and his brothers in danger just like his own weapons if he gets sloppy. However they can prove to be the most versatile as offensive or defensive weapons, when used seriously.

I was born in ‘88 and been obsessed with the ninja turtles ever since. Even today at 36 years old, they still teach me so much.

Leonardo being given the swords was symbolic. His REAL weapon is Decision making. Specifically the decision to let an enemy live or die. He's not just the leader. He's the Judge. Leonardo is the kindest, most passive Turtle, but since fate chose him as the leader, ultimately everyone's lives are in his hands. The weight of his decisions are immense. Those 2 swords serve as a constant reminder that there will be moments where he has to override his peaceful nature & end a life ... because not all enemies can be reasoned or dealt with. Some beings are so evil, so dangerous, that they have to be destroyed for the greater good.

I could see how katanas for Raph would’ve been too tempting and asking for it. If he has ‘em, he’d use ‘em. Leo is more cool headed and isn’t looking for fight, unlike Raphael.

The best answer for Leo is not "violence is the solution." Having not one but two very sharp weapons meant for killing and giving it to the most responsible warrior, this juxtaposition is not a flaw in the turtle but the flaw in the weapon. That is what makes Leo unique amongst his brothers. I think the best reason to give Leo the Katana is to teach him passiveness. Oroku Saki weilded a single katana and used it for death. Splinter gave Leo dual katanas and he uses it to protect life. I also find it intriguing that all turtles with the exception of Donnie dual weild. Perhaps its because his weapon is dual purpose. He can use it in battle as a weapon or in life as a walking cane. I can go in for days about the juxtapositions of TMNT. Love this franchise since 1990 when my parents bought me the original VHS.

So really Raphael should have gotten the sword Mikey should have gotten the bow Leo should have gotten the sai Donnie should have gotten the nunchucks

I thought about it when I was l0 yrs old them switching wespons.

Raphael is the real leader.

I may need them all

Very nice theory and it is true, btw where are youi from ? Sounds like you are from Balkans if im not mistaken

3:32 "You want a pickle?" Anytime I see the old live action Michael I just hear that line 😂

Ive always resonated with Raphael from the get go, on edge, little prideful and just aggressive.. and it makes sense he gets the defensive sais, can you imagine if he had the katanas, the opposite of Leo, no restraint aka killing spree😅

Why did this make me emotional lmao

I disagree with the Leonardo description for one thing. Leo was given the only truly INSTANTLY lethal weapon not to give leo an edge, but to keep leo in check. The Katana defines Leo's flaws by FORCING him to control himself. Because he was balance of the others, he had the rage of Raph, the smarts of Donnie, and the childlike nature of Mike. To less degrees, and in order to maintain that balance, he had to learn how to control the use of his emotions to a point to be balanced.

荒川土手？

Genius

Couldn't have said it better my myself, and I definitely agree with Mikey where he needs something to focus meanwhile going with the flow at the same time

thank you for helping me understand iv been a fan of the nija turtals for 13 years and im 13 years old so yah thank u

Didn't know this theory existed but it makes a whole lot of sense.

Leo doesn't want to hurt anyone, so he's given the most deadliest weapon so that if he is not precise, he can severly injure/danger someone.

Its amazing how the old animations have so much hidden philosophy in them Besides TMNT, avatar the last airbender also has a bunch of this same philosophy all compacted in one character and both series make it clear to a little more focused eye to catch

Dude i bought a copy yesterday thinking it was the full game, turned out it was the First Hunt edition…

Should be Raphael = Katana Donatello = Nunchucks Leonoardo = Sai Michelangelo = Bo

😮

very interesting, I didn't know any of this

I can't say I completely agree with you but I do like your opinion it's really insightful you did a very good job on the video

The sword katana is a curved edge sword and is designed to be swung two-handed ninja swords are shorter and straightedge and can be swung one-handed

This is trash compared to the exploit. They need a catch-up mechanic.

What a nice video! It's refreshing to see something right to the point these days... subscribed!

Garrosh did nothing wrong

This is a cool one!

Love these scary sounds in the background 🙀👻. Keep it up!

Awesome playlist, would love to see a part two if possible!

💃

I don’t agree this why each turtle has their weapon rather than it opposing their personalities it compliments them Leonardo 🔵- Leo was based on Samurai and as such has a samurai weapon. Donatello 🟣 - Don is primarily considered the pacifist of the group and so he was given a monk like weapon a staff to more so reflect his personality. Michelangelo 🟠 - Mikey has a very silly personality and Kevin Eastman has mentioned he thinks it’s a silly weapon so it fits Raphael 🔴 - Raphael was wolverine inspired so they gave him a close range weapon to be in his opponent’s face so he can see them get nervous and sweat

Awesome deep analysis dude. Goes to show how much you love the franchise. I started with the 2003 and Fast Forward series myself, though I prefer the April of the 80s. So much hotter. And Casey was a mix of Harry Callahan, Frank Castle, and Jason Voorhees. Always got a laugh out of Shredder and Krane arguing.

nice video, keep it up 🎉

🚗💨

Apologies for the lower quality, it wasn't recorded like that it's just something that happens during the upload. TH-cam usualy restores video quality after few hours after upload.

I think that’s why I like Rise of the tmnt Donny a little extra, it doesn’t make sense that a tech genius would keep using a piece of wood, so his “tech bo” can be a hammer, a spear, or real heavy titanium composite stick, and it has some rocket propulsion and extra grabby arms and saws for utility purposes. It might fly in the face of splinter’s reminder of “keep it simple” but it made sense and was the most versatile weapon on the teem. Personally though I always thought Donny should the archer of the group, still contributing but back a couple steps from his brothers so he can put his tactical mind to use. Everyone else it split on though and the weapons are iconic, although it would be funny to see Raph duel wielding sledgehammers.

makes sense!

Mikey is also the most gifted of the boys. The chucks require a lot of skill. Splinter knew in his hands the chucks would truly shine.

Great video sir!

You forgot to mention that Michaelangelo is the turtle with the orange headband.

Leo is the only one with weapons,the others are pitchforks,rice flails and a walking staff,yes those are farming equipment which many revolutionaries (ninja if you will) used because only the samurai could carry weapons so they had to kill with whatever was at hand.
