@@InvictusSolDeus To be fair, the version of Karai being the daughter and subordinate of Shredder was a new addition.

It's not a secret that FF is nowhere near as good as the original seasons, but what they did with Bishop is truly phenomenal. Hun and Bishop were such great additions to the franchise. Hun easily could've been a generic lackey, but they gave him a shit ton of character. He has his own vendetta with Casey, his semi-rivalry with Karai due to her being Shredder's favorite and my favorite part, his reaction to Shredder being a little angry jellyfish. I love that his whole stance against him switched so he decided to work alone with purple dragons, but because he worked with Ch'rell, he picked up on some things so PD escalated from a gang to a genuine criminal organization stealing from the government etc. Bishop is just such a great idea. A soldier who got captured and experimented on by aliens, so he becomes immortal, incredibly skilled, but also vengeful, knowledgeable agent who does shady research. What separates him from Ch'rell is that whilst Ch'rell was a space terrorist who wanted power and conquer, Bishop genuinely believes that what he's doing is for the greater good. Hell, he did the Thanos before Thanos. But I also love the fact that when he got saved by an alien who easily could've gotten his revenge and then some, decided to save him, which sparked an idea that perhaps his world view was totally wacko. Bishop went from a sadistic fuck to a president who singlehandedly united all types of worlds to spawn a stronger, utopian civilization, because that was Earth's best chance due to it not having the recourses of being protected on it's own. Great character, wish he was in more shit. He's in IDW comics, but I still prefer this version. I'd be cool if we got a triple A TMNT game, not an arcade game or some cheap ass bullshit, I mean real game, something akin to Arkham games or the new Spidey game.

I'm not gonna lie, I've always been blinded by my love for the Shredder. He was the first villain I genuinely created a connection with at a young age. But now looking how how horrendous Bishop was to becoming a good man for the sake of the Earth and all races, I have to say it now. Bishop is an absolute CHAD.
Bishop's first fight is easily the most underrated fight in the entire series. He takes on the entire main cast SIMULTANEOUSLY, constantly using their own weapons against them and basically using the turtles themselves as weapons against *each other.*
@@ЧимчираМацумеwell, remeber that hun on the first episodes gave a lot of trouble to the turtles but later on they got better at handling him. Same thing with bishop.
Bishop is a great villain and it's because he justifies his actions. He really thinks he's the hero and his purpose is to protect the earth. It be cool if Bishop had a version of suicide squad he seemed like the type of dude who would create something like that
@Otto Rocket I never called Bishop a hero I said he thinks he's the hero. And what I mean by him justifying his actions is he thinks that by doing these horrible things he's protecting the earth.
Bishop's about the only guy who can make any government organisation look like a genuine threat instead of a plot device or minions to be beaten up by the hero/villain.
Bishop is beloved among the fandom and remembered because he the most well written character in not just a kidshow but a *show,* and, to me, the most well written *anti-hero-villain,* who is half the time a straight up a *villain* worse than the main villain. He and the Ch'rell are both chaotic evils of pure malice. Both enjoy inflicting pain on their opponents. They both have let their petty side get the best of them. They will kill ("destroy' is a bygone era censor word that writers had to abide by back then.) anyone who gets in their way. They are the same in a sense, but while Ch'rell dials it to 10 Bishop is able to bring it to 11, because he is a pragmatic man that doesn't let morality, glory or power get in his way. Ch'rell's thirst for power, delusions of grandeur and want of revenge gets in his way and impedes his ability to take risks. This is why Bishop is considered *the* bigger threat by some of us. And I think it was good that they chose to make him a G-man/spook because he has a consequentialist, 'the ends justify the means' doctrine when it comes to national security. He straight up took a page out of Operation Northwood (I am almost 100% certain the writers mindfully wrote an episode based on the declassified 1997 document) and did a false flag to justify funding to his department and also to get petty revenge on the president of the United State who grilled him.

Agent Bishop. A man who has a chess piece word for a name. He's been holding a grudge at the alien that brought him aboard their ship. He knows martial arts ,he works at Area 51
37:48 Did you see that smirk. Bishop took great pleasure in tormenting the president. He faked an alien invasion not only to prove the use of the EPF but to get back at the President 4 yelling at him and treating him like a stooge. Bishop can be pretty petty.
That's one of my favorite parts of him. Despite his professionalism and efficiency, he's also just a sadistic personality and enjoys inflicting pain. It's not even necessary, he just takes the time to have a little fun.
Bishop is a very interesting character. He starts out as a villain who has xenophobic views regarding aliens due to a situation where was abducted and experimented on by aliens. To be fair that would probably mess anyone up and give them a negative view to aliens. After that experience Bishop devoted his life to prevent that same experience from happening anyone else and to protect the Earth. A admirable crusade, though Bishop goes through some very dark and immoral means to accomplish that. During that crusade Bishop was saved by a alien he tortured and this opened his eyes that aliens could be friends and allies, so he changed his ways and became a force for good. Gotta love a villain turned good story.
He was never pure anything. That's the point. Bishop was a well-intentioned extremist who thought he needed to commit all types of evil and madness to fulfill his true goal: To protect the world from alien threats. When he realized he could better protect the world by working with aliens instead of against, he jumped ship. He's still the same overall.
@@jeremyanderson6789 Much of the new generations don't even know what anti-heroes are anymore. They think sympathetic villain = antihero and it's endlessly annoying to try and watch them prove their incorrect claims. Like watching a man try to prove a circle is a square.
Probably out of all the extra characters of TMNT 2003, Agent John Bishop was the best character development over the series, his orgins, purpose of his work, shrewd devious personality throughout and his changing ideology from protecting the earth against extraterrestrial to actual working with them as President of the galactic space council.
I always thought capes were kinda lame as an aesthetic, but I liked the idea of the "cloak" aspect (but there's also Edna's rule of No Capes!). So I always thought the next best thing for a design would be a trench coat---same vibes, but a BIT more practical. It isn't until now that I realize my fascinations with the trench coat aesthetic and characters is all rooted from Agent Bishop. Man makes it work, and boy does he make it work well when he fights.
Bishop is such a great and skilled fighter for the TMNT. He used the to be an antagonist in TMNT 2003 until he did good at the end and later became the protagonist in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012.
Bishop definitely has an advantage in speed and agility compared to the shredder and can also use his surroundings to his aid. He also seems to actually be better when he is fighting multiple opponents because he knows how to use their weapons against each other.
Bishop was probably the most underrated antihero in the whole series. He was almost as powerful as the Shredder, and just as dangerous as any foe the Turtles have ever faced. Yet, his origins were never truly revealed, and if 4Kids didn’t go bankrupt, we may have had an expansion of Fast Forward to learn everything about Bishop.
You are mistaken. Bishop is far older than he looks, as evidenced by the flashback where he was experimented on by aliens hundreds of years before the events of the series
@@l-wolverine2211 They revealed just enough of Bishop's origins for us to know why he became the man he was without spelling out every detail. We know he was abducted by aliens and they somehow made him immortal but that's pretty much it. Perfect balance between clarity and mystery.
bishop was so boss. when we first saw him, we all probably thought he was some paper pushing fed who only talked big when things went his way. but then we learned.......bishop got hands.
Honestly, stuff like that is why I feel that 4kids was, at the very least, only making its decisions due to being shackled by the censors. And that it wasn't simply a 'oh, we just felt these changes were needed for a western audience' or 'we need to soften it for the kids' attitude.
@@unclepaul1995 no In fact, Albert Wesker's first appearance was in Resident Evil in 1996, and Agent Bishop was in TMNT in 2003, but after Resident Evil 4 the developers used Bishop's design.
this guy is a VERY close second to shredder, and thats saying a freakin ton! fantastically written character, had the potential to be the main villain after the Shredder first got offed.
44:27 Good God! it’s still very hard to believe that this was on 4kids because of their other censorships to their other shows but here they actually show him melt even to bone. This was when we used to have action cartoon shows back in the day
What's also interesting is Bishop caused a good number of problems not just to the turtles but everyone else. Whether it be the outbreak and the release of the heralds of Shredder which led to tengu shredder coming back
Bishop was a monster in TMNT, a 300+ year old Immortal Super Soldier Agent with gens from Aliens that owned TMNT + Casey Jones & April + Splinter + Leatherhead + Shredder + Kurai + Hun + Purple Dragon etc. On his own without his army _(aka literally a US supported agency to defeat Alien threats)_ , jeez imagine if Splinter or Shredder trained Bishop... He would've been unstoppable tbh, one of the rare huge side-villain cartoon villains with infinite potential and could've even been the main villain to it.
@@rickyronny4019 But why isn't it. Karai could nullify his powers because she wore the mantle of the Shredder so Ch'rell could have too, maybe that was what lead him to the Heart of Tengu. Take his powers away from him and the Tengu Shredder is nothing but a relic, a decrepit ghost as put by the Human Shredder. The Utrom Shredder is the One True Shredder in the Multiverse.
Yeah he's literally Albert wesker and feels like have the same goals as Albert wesker by turning everyone into a monster and have super soldier serum like Albert
Oh so the slayer prototype that was connected to splinters rat DNA is the reaosn why the Rat King has a connection to them. Flew over my head until I re-watched the scene involving him.
27:44 For a brief moment, you can see he was bleeding. But it’s not red. Which was one of the clues that tells us whatever the aliens did to him in the past, they’ve taken away his humanity.
If Bishop had told the President of the United States all about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter and Leatherhead and that April O'Neil and Casey Jones are thier friends, there's no doubt that the President would've viewed the Turtles, Splinter and Leatherhead as a threat to humanity and ordered to have them hunted down and eliminated and also would've viewed April and Casey to be traitors to humanity and ordered to have them arrested and put in a government prision.
Hard take: the likes of Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, and even Star vs. the Forces of Evil sorely needed their own Agent Bishops. Would have heightened the stakes quite well, while giving the likes of Earth's defense agencies and Muggle ranks a less incompetent, more shockingly high danger level and sense of relevancy.
@@Tigerkaya They were wimps who barely left a permanent mark, let alone came back when it was absolutely necessary for them to strike back against the alien foe. Same with Mr. X and their CIA goons and the inept U.S. military during the Frog-vasion. No, I want the suspected Disney Channel Animated Omniverse saga to up the ante with a united human paramilitary front which is basically XCOM, the Global Occult Coalition and their SCP Foundation and Chaos Insurgency counterparts, the Global Defense Initiative, Third Echelon, Razgriz and Grendel Squadrons, Task Force 141, the National Space Defense Force (the Battlezone one, not the whimsically unproven real life one founded by a traitor), Project CADMUS, NERV/SEELE, the Earth Federation Titans/Londo Bell/Manhunters, and the United Nations Space Command/Office of Naval Intelligence combined in animated form. (Apologies if one is forced to look them all up.)
A layered villain who eventually became a force of good. Fantastic character.

Seriously, 4Kids can allow a cartoon character to melt but can’t allow an anime character to bleed.
What I like about bishops soldiers is that they arent cannon fodder and are very competent
I gotta admit, his heel-face turn was peak writing.
What's also interesting is Bishop caused a good number of problems not just to the turtles but everyone else. Whether it be the outbreak and the release of the heralds of Shredder which led to tengu shredder coming back
The outbreak I get, but Stockman also had a part in both cases. ❗
@@Shinigami_Striker that is true Stockman did have a part in the outbreak
It is bishop fault.
Looking at it like that, he really messed things up for Karai, didn't he?
He is really fun as an antagonist who will also go for other antagonists!
1:35:27 Stockman, this is madness!
No, this is logic. 😠 🤬
THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!
He’s one to talk, he’s done far worse
Bishop took away at least 1 year for the Turtles' life, interfering the heroes' mission and collecting their mutant DNA.
I like how Bishop is aware that the shredder is in fact an utrom if I’m not mistaken.
Bishop vs Shredder would've been an interesting fight to watch
I love how tmnt 2003 made Bishop a villian
Bishop was a monster in TMNT, a 300+ year old Immortal Super Soldier Agent with gens from Aliens that owned TMNT + Casey Jones & April + Splinter + Leatherhead + Shredder + Kurai + Hun + Purple Dragon etc. On his own without his army _(aka literally a US supported agency to defeat Alien threats)_ , jeez imagine if Splinter or Shredder trained Bishop... He would've been unstoppable tbh, one of the rare huge side-villain cartoon villains with infinite potential and could've even been the main villain to it.
i remember watching this as a young child and being scared of bishop and the aliens
Utrom Shredder vs Bishop would have been so amazing! But the Original Tengu Shredder would have murdered them both, easily.
Not as combatants he couldn't. If anything he is the weakest of the three of them, his powers made him lazy.
@@christianfrost8660 lmao just cuz he’s lazy doesn’t mean he wouldn’t easily curbstomp the other two
@@rickyronny4019 Ch'rell is a better combatant than Oroku Saki when he came back. If Ch'rell could nullify his powers I believe that he would win.
@@christianfrost8660 true but that’s not the case
@@rickyronny4019 But why isn't it. Karai could nullify his powers because she wore the mantle of the Shredder so Ch'rell could have too, maybe that was what lead him to the Heart of Tengu.
Take his powers away from him and the Tengu Shredder is nothing but a relic, a decrepit ghost as put by the Human Shredder. The Utrom Shredder is the One True Shredder in the Multiverse.
32:09 The only person to really tear Bishop apart
Bishop is really a good character.
I kind of like villains that turn over a new leaf instead of them simply being killed.
Bishop definitely suspected Saki of being one of the aliens among us
22:27 AMONG US
He needs to face Albert Wesker in Death Battle.
Yeah he's literally Albert wesker and feels like have the same goals as Albert wesker by turning everyone into a monster and have super soldier serum like Albert
This guy much more interesting than all antagonist from new shitty TMNT movies
¿Which one do you prefer?
¿Michael Bay or Mutant Mayhem?
I do not know. They both suck. Last normal TMNT for me was Nickelodeon cartoon. It is start in 2012 if I correct.
Oh and crossover with batman was pretty good.
@@AlexWolfyBoy Yeah the 2012 series was great but Rise sucked
He is like If agent smith from the Matrix meet the Peacemaker. Join the men in black
I forgot about Hun vs. Biship. This was such a cool fight!
The Bishop was a bad charater at first but later helped the turtles in many operations
A bad *person.* He was a great character, before and after.
"When you scream my name, pleading to make the pain stop, begging for mercy, you may call me Bishop"
Me: Badass
Oh so the slayer prototype that was connected to splinters rat DNA is the reaosn why the Rat King has a connection to them. Flew over my head until I re-watched the scene involving him.
TMNT's Agent Smith incarnate.
Agent Six before we had Agent Six on cartoons. Guy is CLASSY
27:44 For a brief moment, you can see he was bleeding. But it’s not red. Which was one of the clues that tells us whatever the aliens did to him in the past, they’ve taken away his humanity.
make a video of all scenes of the Elite guards please
If only Bishop knew that Oroku Saki was an alien Utrom super criminal
And become president 100 years later.
In a thousand he'll become the supreme universal prime minister!
I never knew bishop lived a long time
He puts his consciousness in a clone body whenever he starts to get old.
He fought in the War of 1812, then abducted by an alien to use a longlife formula.
@@josephzielinski8817 so his regeneration cellular's system were modified.
Bishop: a fusion of man in black and matrix villain
1:19:26
Anyone else distracted by Fast Forward Bishop's cat mouth?
Cat mouth? Does that mean that he's part cat now?
If Bishop had told the President of the United States all about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter and Leatherhead and that April O'Neil and Casey Jones are thier friends, there's no doubt that the President would've viewed the Turtles, Splinter and Leatherhead as a threat to humanity and ordered to have them hunted down and eliminated and also would've viewed April and Casey to be traitors to humanity and ordered to have them arrested and put in a government prision.
Bishop figured that they weren't aliens though. So they aren't the Extra-Terrestrial Threat that he was preparing for.
This show was FIRE
One of the best characters in the show. Reminds me of Agent Smith from the Matrix
I'll take Bishop over Shredder any day
I wish that bishop would have use that weapon on 25:33 in more episodes
I love Hun taking the Turtle's abuse during the train car fight like "Okay, yeah. I earned that."
imagine if they made a gory animated version of tmnt
when this version of bishop in it
This Bishop should reappear more in future TMNT media. An awesome villain that's an interesting threat to the turtle gang.
9:26 This is my favourite fight.
39:49 Bishop sounds like Darius Dun.
Shares the same voice. 🎤
Voiced by David Zen Mansley.
Damn cant believe this is what dib membrane grows up to be
Bishop is a fucking monster yo
The best version of Bishop.
Damn shame we never got to see him and the Shredder face off.
My favorite tmnt character from all TMNT shows
There really should be more of Bishop in other incarnations of the turtles. He is an awesome addition to the turtles mythos.
Agent Bishop is like an evil version of Agent Kay from the MIB.
That move on 1:17:04 though.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bishop reminds me of how Waller was supposed to be
He's like an evil Agent Colson and i love it!
* Bishop (2000s era): Politically Incorrect Villian
* Bishop (During the Time Skip): Heel-Face Turn
* Bishop (Fast Foward era): (Heroic) Former Bigot
"Bishop's Gambit" "I, Monster" and "Dragon’s Brew" episodes with Bishop are one of the best and the creepiest ones.
Hard take: the likes of Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, and even Star vs. the Forces of Evil sorely needed their own Agent Bishops. Would have heightened the stakes quite well, while giving the likes of Earth's defense agencies and Muggle ranks a less incompetent, more shockingly high danger level and sense of relevancy.
I thought gravity falls had those FBI agents?
@@Tigerkaya They were wimps who barely left a permanent mark, let alone came back when it was absolutely necessary for them to strike back against the alien foe. Same with Mr. X and their CIA goons and the inept U.S. military during the Frog-vasion.
No, I want the suspected Disney Channel Animated Omniverse saga to up the ante with a united human paramilitary front which is basically XCOM, the Global Occult Coalition and their SCP Foundation and Chaos Insurgency counterparts, the Global Defense Initiative, Third Echelon, Razgriz and Grendel Squadrons, Task Force 141, the National Space Defense Force (the Battlezone one, not the whimsically unproven real life one founded by a traitor), Project CADMUS, NERV/SEELE, the Earth Federation Titans/Londo Bell/Manhunters, and the United Nations Space Command/Office of Naval Intelligence combined in animated form.
(Apologies if one is forced to look them all up.)
I dropped Steven Universe a long ago, but if I'm not mistaken there has never been any kind of government interference in the world of the show right?
@@legendarymarston9174 this is correct, in fact I don't think on exist given there non existence.
@@legendarymarston9174 None, unfortunately
BIshop is cool
But Bishop is like like Hitman Or Albert Wesker or Lex Luthor
Even put chronologically!
