Anyone think Leonardo is Japanese?

*CyberCubed* · 03-24-2023, 01:13 PM

Leonardo is probably the most Asian/Japanese of all the Turtles. He trains the hardest, seems to have the strongest sense of honor and bushido. Looks up to Master Splinter the most and is the most all around balanced Turtle in nearly all incarnations.

Like most Asians, Leonardo is good at martial arts and is very studious, not goofing off as much as his brothers. He is also reasonably intellectual. He feels like the model Asian son to an Asian family.

You (pretend to) have a very inaccurate and compartmentalized understanding of human beings... though I use the word "understanding" lightly.

Uh, no... I think he's an adopted mutant Turtle who simply embraces and is interested in his adopted heritage via the man-turned-mutant he calls Father. Or via the rat that was owned by a Japanese man, but honestly I think the other makes more sense for Leo's interest in human stuff like culture, etc.

Leonardo's behavior in most series, especially 4kids, Nick, IDW, Mirage, the original movie trilogy and Archie all give the impression of an Asian Japanese martial artist.

He acts like an Asian, behaves like an Asian, and has honor like an Asian. Like everything about Leonardo is Asian.

Should I screen cap that comment and get the opinion for you of an Asian woman who has been a close friend since we were 10?

Leo has never reminded me of her... But I don't tend to make such broad generalizations of people.

Edit: Having any honor as a person is not exclusive to being Asian. So you have none? Or do you just not really grasp what it means.

This is how Leonardo would look if he were human.

What does it mean to “behave like an asian” lmfao

Good trolling

There's no option for "They're turtles and don't have a race, and also the whole "x-coded" thing is complete bulls**t" but that would be my answer to this and any question like it.
