Stan Sekai and the TMNT Creators Eastman & Laird were longtime friends who looked out for each other during the Indie-comics scene of the '80s, and remain good friends to this day which is why they're able to sometimes do crossovers with their characters.
Indeed, they go way back. And Stan Sakai was also a letterer fof Groo, would love to see Groo dlc even if a long shot. Would be good marketing for Sergio, I bet he'd consider it.
And long shot or not, when i suggested a dream fight of Popeye vs One Punch Man on Death Battle, somebody liked the idea to make it into a show, so who knows? :)
The Usagi Yojimbo comics go extremely friggin hard. “Grasscutter” is an absolute all-timer, but there’s nary a dud in forty years of stories. Stan Sakai rules
In addition to making appearances in the 2002 and 2012 TMNT cartoons, Usagi has his own cartoon on Netflix that is VERY LOOSELY based on the original comic. And this year the TMNT and Usagi had another crossover in a miniseries comic by Stan Sakai himself. So, point being, he gets some love. Just not enough.
isn't that Usagi cartoon intended as a next-generation sort of thing, where it isn't Miyamoto Usagi but his son or future descendant? Mostly to have a less-violent, kid-friendly, stand-alone series that doesn't rely on his father/ancestor's story to follow up.
@@SorcererLance Yes on most of those things. But at least in the first season, Miyamoto's legacy is an important plot element. He also appears a few times. And New-sagi tells anyone who'll listen that he's Miyamoto's descendant.
@@finalunusedname I'd suppose so, but it's somewhat like Legend of Korra not *necessarily* needing to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender to understand things
@SorcererLance I confess, my original understanding was it's a reinterpretation of Usagi for a younger audience in a new, future setting. That's what I meant by the series being very loosely based on the comic. Given that it was for a younger audience, I haven't watched it. So I'll assume you're right. That said, it's still Usagi Yojimbo media, so again, it's something
Usagi is the bomb, I also cosplayed as the character from 2015 to 2019 (and remaking the cosplay as well). As for Karai, looks like they took cues from her mirage & tmnt 2003 appearance, and that's neat.
8:18 Not only the Foot Soldiers get scared when you defeat everyone, the other "panels" also change: Shredder gets *pissed* when his soldiers are KO'd, while Mondo Gecko and Halfcourt cheer you. This also happens in the Edo maps: Hamato smiles in approval while his rats jump, Ninjara gets happier, Rahzar gets angry and Hothead gives you a thumbs-up.
It's kinda strange that Usagi Yojimbo had a game before the TMNT ever did. The NES and arcade games of TMNT came out in 1989. Usagi had a game in 1988 on the 8-bit european home computers (Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum) called Samurai Warrior - The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo. It's actually got more depth than you might expect an action game of the time to have. Like how you can fight or you can be polite and show respect. :)
@@Boogie_the_cat My memory might be a bit rusty but i think it was just the UK that was against 'ninja' in the TMNT name and that didn't kick in until the turtles got localized here so there's a good chance Samurai Warrior got in just before we started getting weird about about the word 'ninja's'. Also wouldn't be at all surprised if the people in charge had any idea what a Samurai was in the late 80's...or even now.
@@Haysey_Draws Yeah, the Turtles didn't really hit the UK til 1990 and the word Ninja had been associated with 'video nasties' including nunchucks (in 1988 another 14 mostly ninja-related weapons would be banned too) which is why all Mikey's fight scenes would get cut (Panthro of the ThunderCats had many of his scenes cut too) and Mikey would gradually favour the grappling hook in later seasons of the cartoon. Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (as well as a TON of Ninja-themed movies) had made nunchucks pretty popular and supposedly adults and kids alike were injuring themselves swinging them about. Strangely enough though the Turtles movies got to keep 'Ninja' in the name (since an age rating could be applied to cinema unlike a TV show), nunchuck scenes were still cut. Including in Secret of the Ooze where Mikey uses...sausages...as nunchucks... Because lots of injuries and fatalities caused by swinging sausages? The silly censorship was lifted in 1999 and that's why the 2003 incarnation of the Ninja Turtles kept the name and the nunchucks. Nunchucks were also banned in some US states but allowed to be shown on TV. Some of those bans have since been lifted (such as New York in 2018). Samurai never had the same notoriety or popularity as ninjas did in 70s and 80s media so never faced the same censorship.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that home computer games were a much more niche market in the ‘80s, at least in the UK; a Saturday morning cartoon and toy line, precision engineered for the juvenile hypothalamus, was a much bigger concern for the pearl-clutching legislators. It’s absurd to us mighty spacemen of the future, but the broad cultural impression of home computers was something akin to a glorified electric typewriter. I vaguely remember the Amstrad game, which was utterly incomprehensible to my unwrinkled baby brain. I VIVIDLY remember getting in trouble for jamming an embroidered Turtles patch into the floppy drive of our CPC6128
@@milosmisic89 but it doesn’t allow you to play with as many people online as TMNT. If you want a full party you have to be on one system. Where as with TMNT you can have a full party online. This is what SOR4 should do.
Stan Saki is the GOAT. I'm so glad he was willing to work with Dotemu and/or Tribute and/or Nickelodeon for this to happen. Also glad how well Usagi was treated. Great addition!
Should note that isn't Rahzar in the Edo period background with Ninjara. Rahzar is in the game already, he's the big wolf you fight alongside Tokka in Tempestra's stage. Someone else I know looked him up and found his name's Yoshi Chien, or Chien Khan as it got later changed to. He seems to be in the same comics as Ninjara.
15:01 - Editor, you got this wrong. That's not Rahzar (from TMNT II: The Secret Of The Ooze). That's Chien Khan, a character from the TMNT comics done by Archie Comics.
I loved playing as Karai and Usagi in this new dlc that they added for TMNT Shredders revenge. And the added bonus they gave for costumes was very neat with the ROTTMNT for the turtles.
The little turtle guy in the background on a gold turtle robot is Kerma. He showed up a few times in the 87 cartoon, and is an alien from the planet Shell-Ri-La. He's pretty obscure honestly, so I'm not surprised Matt didn't remember him. The turtles helped him defend his planet a few times, which was always under attack because they could produce unending amounts of gold or gold was just the most abundant element on his planet. It was something like that, I haven't watched these episodes in 30+ years so I'm fuzzy on some of the details. Anyway, he then built four large turtle robots to protect Shell-Ri-La out of gold and modeled them after the turtles. It didn't work because he failed to account for how soft gold is, so the robots were destroyed pretty easily. He later just learned how to defend himself when he realized that he couldn't expect the Ninja Turtles to be on call to defend his planet at a moments notice, and then taught the rest of his people how to defend themselves as well. At least I think that's how it went down. Again, 30+ years since I've watched this so there could be a few mistakes in this comment. If so, my bad.
The deepest pull from the TMNT comic I can think off would be that huge cyclops alien with a huge mouth that surgically attached Krang to Shredder's body in one of the arcs.
Obviously one of Shredder's few redeeming qualities is that he's a fan of Gadget from the Rescue Rangers so he armed some Foot Soldiers with scaled up Gadget style weaponry.
2:00 He showed up in a one-off crossover with Leonardo in Turtle Soup in a time travel tale tied to the after effects of Renet taking the TMNT team back in time. It was a bigger surprise to the dozens of us who were Usagi fans at the time that he would show up in a more successful franchise than it was for TMNT fans to have the rabbit samurai fight alongside Leonardo in an alternate version of the past.
The old turtle riding the gold Metalhead is from the 87 series three-parter where Groundchuck and Dirtbag were introduced and they and the turtles were taken to a turtle planet by the old one.
Kinda crazy that Scumbug is actually in the background of one of the levels. He's my favorite figure from the original line, and my favorite looking baddie from the Archie series, so I was very, very happy to see him referenced. And halfcourt, what a deep cut for a fun character.
I think that turtle chracter over the "golden metalhead" is from the TMNT 2003 series; from the Triceratons saga. The turtles are in another planet's sewers, and in one scene Michelangelo sees a group of 4 ninja rats, and their version of "Splinter" that is a turtle.
7:46 The basic consensus for the survival mode power-ups seems to be that the double pizza, boss form, 10 second infinite ninja power, and teleporting taunt are the best, while the rest pretty much suck and are more of a nerf than a buff during a run.
What I like about usagi is he seems made to deal with the enemies I have a hard time with. Those friggin' black foot soldiers. Also he makes easy work of baxter stockman and those annoying fling robots
The rights might be a bit odd with that one. Steve Murphy as Dean Clarrain created the character but it is uncertain who holds the rights after his death. It might be Archie, it might be Steve's estate (she was an indie comic character entirely unrelated to the TMNT for a bit, having a notable one-off run in Furrlough) or it might be Viacom. Alopex is far more likely to show up since she was the Ninjara alternative that Viacom owns free and clear.
Usagi comics are like the original Jumanji movie. True "general audiences" entertainment which didn't underestimate either adult or kid audience. It is kinda shame there isn't over yet any proper animated show based on the comics since most tend to simplify Usagi either total goofball or no-nonsense warrior when he could easily ball between both modes.
This is was interesting, would give a recommendation for any Tmnt fan (like myself) as bad as the No damage challenges are the game and extras were amazing.
What I’ve noticed is that most people rush to complete the crystals. All that does is increase difficulty and the points don’t increase based off it. I’ve found you want to delay completing a crystal for as long as possible, as the leaderboard is based off score and not dimensions cleared.
I wanna say the turtle on the gold thing is Kerma, from Planet of the Turtleoids? Try to find the Usagi episodes of TMNT 2012. There's an annoying kid in them, which sucks, but otherwise, they're pretty damn good.
Great awesome amazing incredible job with making the video on playing the new dlc and update for tmnt Shredder's Revenge also + keep up the amaizng awesome work with your videos and you are fantastic youtuber
I'd love to see them add her or even Alopex. Both of them are such cool looking foxes, they'd be really fun to see. I didn't even know about Ninjara until seeing her in the background like this, but I do love her design and Hothead's as well
Geeze, I envy you remembering you childhood so well Matt. I was a Transformers kid for sure. And I can't remember half the characters of my show as well as yours. Though to be fair, I imagine a lot of TMNT character names are either absurd which helps you remember them, or just easier to remember then say Ultra Magnus. The hell does magnus even mean anyway?
So Usagi Yojimbo literally means Rabbit Bodyguard, but I find it funny how everyone including I think characters from his stories just calls him Usagi, that's like if everyone IRL just called me "black man"
In Japanese, u is a flat sound, like the u in 'flute, not a curved u sound sound like vacuum... So it's pronounced OOsagi, not YOOsagi. うさぎ is the Japanese word for rabbit.
Glad to see you cover this. I'm not interested in survival mode, but Usagi looks super OP compared to any other playable character. $8 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things but it is a lot for 1 character I want, 1 I don't care about, and a game mode I don't really want to play.
Hi Matt. I like to hear your objective opinion of Survival Mode's Final Boss which I think needs to be nerfed. From the various playthroughs I've done it's almost down to luck to beat him. I can consistently reach him in the final dimension but fighting him feels unfair. He's too fast to react properly. I feel there's no way to beat him without purposely injuring yourself.
The only way i was able to beat him was using the little attack you get after the double jump while he was doing that blue attack where he summons the bosses. It's basically chip damage, so it takes a while, but it works.
@@maestroquebrado2259 I managed to beat him 5 times but each time was way too close. I've been trying to save up specials but they either miss or don't connect. I've been resorting to antiair+air dive combo whenever I can. More so when he's summoning bosses. I really feel he should be slowed down or have a distinct vulnerable point. When he summons bosses sometimes he manifests 3 and other times he does 4. It's always so sudden when he goes into that orb shield.
Lol the editor not holding back 😆 You were distracted by Cudley the Cowlick, and Kerma riding one of his gold turtle robots. Seth Rogen is a terrible actor and voice actor. Not really a fan of lazy actors that have somehow made a career out of just playing themselves...
Dimension Shellshock was truly a worthy DLC Expansion pack and made a great game even better. Also, Usagi is a beast! Easily my 2nd favorite character behind Michaelangelo in the game. 🍕🐢🗡🐇🦯🐀🎤👩🏒💀⛓️🥷

Facts. It's all good
Dog guy is Chien Khan from the Archie comics
Fun fact : chien means dog in french
Pin this!
Usagi's had regular appearances with the Turtles, but that's where most of his notoriety comes from. His home comic is still rather obscure.
I was hoping Matt was loving Usagi as much as I am. He was always my favorite character that just showed up like once and I had the action figure for.

Usagi deserves his own game or animated series super underated.

He had a game. In 1988. So yes, time for a new one. :P
Obviously one of Shredder's few redeeming qualities is that he's a fan of Gadget from the Rescue Rangers so he armed some Foot Soldiers with scaled up Gadget style weaponry.
“He’s so cool!!! And cute don’t forget cute. He looks very fuzzy and fluffy, and that’s why we love him”
Couldn’t agree more!
First time I played Omnichannel 6, first thing that came to my head was “Is this 2105? Is this Fast Forward?”
2:00 He showed up in a one-off crossover with Leonardo in Turtle Soup in a time travel tale tied to the after effects of Renet taking the TMNT team back in time.
It was a bigger surprise to the dozens of us who were Usagi fans at the time that he would show up in a more successful franchise than it was for TMNT fans to have the rabbit samurai fight alongside Leonardo in an alternate version of the past.
I'm glad Yojimbo made it as DLC and the first time I saw him was in 2012 Turtles and he's freaking awesome
Those robots on wheels are called Roadkill Rodneys
The old turtle riding the gold Metalhead is from the 87 series three-parter where Groundchuck and Dirtbag were introduced and they and the turtles were taken to a turtle planet by the old one.
Karai is basically Shiva if he could hold weapons. Also, DAT BUTT!
so satisfying to last-hit a boss using Usagi's flying super and then just stand there to let the leaves fly in his idle stance
Bowls of Kraft Dinner and TMNT cartoon got me through my first Canadian winter 🤘
Do yourself a favor and read the Usagi comics. Really, really good stuff. Been a fan since the 90s.
Also, yeah, Usagi is frickin sweet in SR.
The fact that Halfcourt is in this game in any capacity, even just as a background character is kind of nuts
Kinda crazy that Scumbug is actually in the background of one of the levels. He's my favorite figure from the original line, and my favorite looking baddie from the Archie series, so I was very, very happy to see him referenced. And halfcourt, what a deep cut for a fun character.
1:12 that makes two wrestlers that have played rocksteady
I think that turtle chracter over the "golden metalhead" is from the TMNT 2003 series; from the Triceratons saga. The turtles are in another planet's sewers, and in one scene Michelangelo sees a group of 4 ninja rats, and their version of "Splinter" that is a turtle.
I have an odd hope that Ace Duck is in this in some capacity, just because that was a toy I held onto for a long time.

I believe Usagi and Karai are gonna be top tier with Raph and Mikey
the robots on wheels are called Roadkill Rodneys
Small correction for the editor, I’m pretty sure the big guy Matt was referring to was Lord Dregg, not Scumbug.
Please don’t ask me why I know this.
No worries, fans of the 87 series know all too well who Lord Dregg is. It was pretty cool seeing him return in the 2012 series.
Was pretty cool that they did a version of Dregg in the 2012 cartoon.

Now that usagi is in there, the door is open for more mirage characters if the game gets more content in the future.

I wonder if they are brave enough to do those cringy "secondary mutations" from late in the OG cartoon.
So Usagi Yojimbo literally means Rabbit Bodyguard, but I find it funny how everyone including I think characters from his stories just calls him Usagi, that's like if everyone IRL just called me "black man"
Well, his name is Miyamoto Usagi, so calling him Usagi is using his name.
In Japanese, u is a flat sound, like the u in 'flute, not a curved u sound sound like vacuum... So it's pronounced OOsagi, not YOOsagi.
うさぎ is the Japanese word for rabbit.
Matt, are you using a new file? You haven't upgraded your characters to Level10 so you're missing special moves, extra stock & health points.
Yes, this was a new file. Everyone's pretty leveled up on my PS5 version. But I was given early access to the DLC, but only on the steam version.
Glad to see you cover this. I'm not interested in survival mode, but Usagi looks super OP compared to any other playable character. $8 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things but it is a lot for 1 character I want, 1 I don't care about, and a game mode I don't really want to play.
Maybe try the survival mode? It was insanely fun.
You can play as the bosses in survival mode
I beat super shredder with rocksteady pretty easily.
Hi Matt. I like to hear your objective opinion of Survival Mode's Final Boss which I think needs to be nerfed. From the various playthroughs I've done it's almost down to luck to beat him. I can consistently reach him in the final dimension but fighting him feels unfair. He's too fast to react properly. I feel there's no way to beat him without purposely injuring yourself.
The only way i was able to beat him was using the little attack you get after the double jump while he was doing that blue attack where he summons the bosses. It's basically chip damage, so it takes a while, but it works.
@@maestroquebrado2259 I managed to beat him 5 times but each time was way too close. I've been trying to save up specials but they either miss or don't connect. I've been resorting to antiair+air dive combo whenever I can. More so when he's summoning bosses. I really feel he should be slowed down or have a distinct vulnerable point. When he summons bosses sometimes he manifests 3 and other times he does 4. It's always so sudden when he goes into that orb shield.
Yes I am the goat
Lol the editor not holding back 😆
You were distracted by Cudley the Cowlick, and Kerma riding one of his gold turtle robots.
Seth Rogen is a terrible actor and voice actor. Not really a fan of lazy actors that have somehow made a career out of just playing themselves...
launched a fighting game called Pocket Bravery. do you intend to play this game?
Matt has a way. make video played Pocket Bravery game and also do analysis, pocket bravery is a fighting game
Dimension Shellshock was truly a worthy DLC Expansion pack and made a great game even better. Also, Usagi is a beast! Easily my 2nd favorite character behind Michaelangelo in the game. 🍕🐢🗡🐇🦯🐀🎤👩🏒💀⛓️🥷
