this was probably one of my most favorite episodes of this series since Tales of the Yokai. it'll watch so much better once all the episodes are out, and it can all be viewed continuously.

Loved it. Wish it had been released all in one like the last one.
Did they make a Coming Out of Their Shells reference?

I'm probably just reading way too much into Donatello saying that Evil Blind Wolf Dude could, "Count on us."

****kng kino. Too 5 episode of the series. So glad this show was able to make this happen.
Probably a coincidence. I might likewise be reaching, but it seemed to me like they were referencing the first Usagi crossover (The Crossing by Laird) when the turtles came out of the water, then Leo and Usagi had a duel in the stream. |

Hands down one of the best episodes of the series. I love this take on Usagi and Jei.
Anyone else wish they'd make a spin off featuring Usagi?

The first 10 minutes of this almost felt like a movie. Loved this! I know we would never get it, but a Usagi spin off would be amazing! Can't wait to see the conclusion!

There were a lot of thing that this episode clicked with me. I like how we start with Usagi's perspective and get a taste of not only him but also his world without the need for exposition for the first half, I like the atmosphere and environments(like Mycounis said it gave off an Akira Kurosawa vibe), and the fight choreography made me nostalgic for the human Bradford and Xever fights. There were some negatives however, I didn't care for Kintaro(I was hoping someone put that pug down old yeller style) and I thought it was kinda strange how the demon fox guy pretended to be a frail old man when he was brainwashing the turtles.
All in all good episode

This episode actually felt like Usagi's own show, with the turtles guest-staring in it, much like how TNM turtles crossovered in the Power Rangers in Space episode (the premise was also the same, with the turtles being initially brainwashed by the enemy and all). Although, this time it's actually the other way round
Sumo Kuma looked like an Ursaring Did anyone notice that Raph was left out (intentional?) as the rest of them rode off the cliff at the very end?

There's also the theory that maybe the turtles are still being mind controlled by the wolf guy and he just temporarily disabled it and then maybe took Raph cause he's the best fighter? |

these were just unfortunate circumstances, but maybe it had to be so and now there is another opening for an animated show of usagi in the waiting?would love it if ciro and everyone involved were into continuing with an original usagi series based on the comics after this turtles show is through I have a feeling this moment in usagi's history is a very special one... one more thing on space usagi: it is a multipart story spin off comic by stan sakai revolving around usagis descendant in the distant future. it was published by mirage studios during the early ninties and is being reprinted in full in the upcomming USAGI YOJIMBO: LEGENDS tpb that is seeing release by dark horse comics soon.check it out, as with everything usagi this is a must read.really exciting and fun and beautiful ideas and illustrations...(I vividly remember the giant space flowing turtle)

It kind of shocks me that after 30 years, and Usagi's exposure through TMNT, that Stan Sakai never was able to launch a single Usagi cartoon.
It feels like something that should have happened years ago in the 90's or 2000's but never did. |

Anybody got a screencap of when Usagi put the bone in Chosen One dog boy's mouth. That was hilarious.

The idea I get is that much like Bill Watterson, Stan doesn't want some toy company or a producer wrestling creative control over Usagi away from him, if that's the case it is noble sentiment and should be respected.
