I rarely watch Yu Gi Oh but today I felt like I needed to...but mostly cuz the episodes dealt with Atlantis.

I noticed some paralells between the Atlantis in TMNT and the Atlantis in Yu Ghi Oh.

Well..plus there's a character named Raphael (But he's not voiced by Frank Frankson! He voices another character on the show *lol*)...I dunno Raphael's background but he had a brother named Mikey (seriously!)...Mikey died young or something...Raphael was one of the many obsorbed by a Leviathan but with Yu Ghi Oh's help they were all freed... Mikey's spirit obsorbed into Raphael, making it so that Mikey is litterally forever in Raphael's heart...aww...

Anyways...on to Atlantis:

In TMNT Atlantis was a peacefull race till these stones fell from the sky, giving them the ability to become advanced in technology and causing the peacefull race to be rather evil and turn to slavery.

In Yu Ghi Oh the people of Atlantis were a peacefull race untill...yea.. the stones again...but this time the stones get a name! Ikalcos (sp?) stones....but instead of slavery the advancement led to greed and eventually a civil war broke out.

In both shows Atlantis does sink...but unlike TMNT the people of Atlantis (the old wise king, his son that was defeated by Pharoah...he was also a king but was too influence by the stones that he turned evil... oh and his daughter, voiced by Veronica Taylor.....that's all that was left I guess) were good in the end.

I spoke too soon...they just showed the origin of Raphael and Mikey. They were orphans in a war torn country and the tent city they were living in was attacked and Mikey was captured by the bad guys. Now Raphael's quest is to find his brother(so I guess he's still alive...)

The people in this show from TMNT are:
Darren Dunstan(Splinter): He voices Maxamillion Pegasus
Frank Frankson (Raphael): He voices Tristan
Sam Regal(Donatello): Originally voiced Tristan but now voices other characters.
Marc Thompson*drools*(Oh er uh Casey Jones): He voices Raphael! *rotflmao* :lol:
Wayne Greyson (Michelangelo): Joey Wheeler, Darts(the Atlantian king that was evil till this episode)
Veronica Taylor(April): Wait...Michelangelo is April's father?! *rotflmao* :o
Scotti Ray(Shredder): He's been in a couple eps as the voice of Anubis

One, in Yu-Gi-Oh!, the guy with the brother named Mikey wasn't Raphael, his name was Alister. Raphael was the blonde guy. (There's nothing else on at the time, so sue me!)

I've seen so many different takes on the Atlantis myth, and it does seem that a majority of them do involve crystals of some kind. I never did any deep study of Atlantis, but the idea of could be a part of the original myth.

Of course, they are done by the same company, so who knows.
