He's not wrong. Ninja were mostly spies gathering Intel on their enemies. But when they are tasked with assassination, they usually make it look like a freak accident.

@@SaiyanGamer95 Where as the 03 series and beyond do have him consider them his sons as he raised them. Granted the 03 Splinter was never human from the start but rather was the pet rat to Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen.
The funniest part about the beyond the grave bit, is the fact that that one dude who was scared of splinter when the spirits of the underworld were released should’ve died long splinter was born. This means he was kicking ass all throughout the underworld
he said " moshi moshi " which is what japanese ppl say when they answer the phone, its like the equivalent of saying hello ( i think ) but i totally agree !! 2012 splinter is the coolest + cutest :3
@@metaIqueersoIid It's supposedly a thing that Oni are unable to say, so it was a way of confirming that you were you. Japan just still does it to this day
I also like this flashback sequence and Splinter’s shocked face that later became more intense and serious, since it reminded him of his old archenemy Oroku Saki (aka Shredder).
By far the best iteration of Splinter ever! He’s strong and fearless yet humble, wise and thoughtful! Hoon Lee did a wonderful job voicing Splinter and capturing every essence of him. Splinter is also the best dad ever!
I loved how Splinter said he made Leo leader because he asked him. But then later he says that he only said that to boost his confidence at the time, and he really did see leadership traits in him at an early age.
2:18 Honestly, this is my favorite Splinter fight scene in the show. Just the fact that Tiger Claw showed up like “I am the most powerful character in this show aside from Shredder”, and then getting his furry ass whooped by Splinter, is… REALLY satisfying!
This is one of the reasons why 2012 TMNT is my favourite. It expands a lot of the character's main personalities and makes them more well-rounded, especially Splinter. He actually acts like a father to the turtles and it's awesomely adorable.
This is my favorite Splinter, he is wise, yet has funny moments, but his rivalry with Shredder is iconic as he lost everything that day but learned to raise a new family and trained them to defend themselves from Shredder.
Honestly, I loved this version of Splinter. Still a loving father and skilled ninja... but also a complete and utter troll at times. Splinter: Was that fair? Leonardo: No! Splinter: WE'RE NINJA, you dumbass. Surprise attacks are our thing.
This Splinter is the best, not just some old rat, but a true master of ninjutsu and combat, and having the absolute best design, voice, and writing ever out of any Master Splinter rendition in TMNT history. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed going back to my childhood.
This will always be the best version of Splinter. Wise, powerful, skilled, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor and humility. At the same time embodying the energy of a strict Asian parent.
Another good one is when the squirrel escaped Leo and Splinter reluctantly got up and said, "I should've been in a deeper trance." Lol
I like how he then proceeded to call the squirrel his distant cousin.
I still love how a phone made to look like a wheel of cheese is used in case of a serious emergency. 😂
I like to think the turtles got it for him as a gift, and it was so utterly ridiculous he told them “you better not call me on this thing unless one of you is dying”
He loves cheese, so its fitting.
That Was Definitely Mikey’s Idea 😂

Yes, he do, it shows in 3 season when the turtles travel in time
I imagine Splinter learned how to do this because the turtles don't have ears to grab and tug on.
The chuckle afterwards tho 😂😂
Splinter's father pulled this one on Saki most likely
He did when both Shredder and Splinter were brothers
I loved this splinter, he was deep with the proverbs, had a whit sharper than Shredder's blades, and like all versions he loved his sons. So much so he protected them from beyond the grave.
