How does Mikey's nunchucks turn into a kusarigama??
I just don't see how it works XD

I mean where does the other end go????
not saying it's not cool XD I'm just wondering for fun~ (since we have time)

ANY IDEAS?

Though it's not detailed there, I would assume it's sort of like a pocket knife. Ya know, a slit down the side of the handle where the blade can go. Button activated.

no I get where the blade comes from XD

I meant where does the other end of the nunchuck go.

[Coola Yagami]

And how does the chain extend that long? Where the hell does it all fit when it's in nunchuck-mode?

[Martin]

Another great question would be where the hell did that long a** chain came from. IDW's Michaelangelo can read japanese, maybe nick's mikey is a wizard :P

[Allio]

I always figured the actual design went like this

The "other end" of the nunchuck is actually an empty compartment in which the extra chain is stored (which would make this end of the nun chuck more heavy, probably making this end the ideal "attack" end)

with a button the tip of the "other end" pops off and the chain is set free, in which the rest of that side of the nun chuck is used for mikey to have an easiar grasp of the chain its self which will allow it to have free movement

but where does the compartment go? XD it starts off with 2 halves and the other side just vanishes lol
sorry for double posting ^_^

Maybe it folds up or something? It's best to just not think about these kind of things :lol:

I usually don't....but I'm bored from lack of TMNT episodes XD

[Martin]

There is no way that chain fits inside the chucks. And even if it somehow, due to space magic, could possibly fit in there, the damn thing would end up being as heavy as a frigging morning star. You might think this is a good thing since more mass means more force (yaaay newton!), and since mikey swings those things pretty damn fast that would make them even more deadly; but consider this: whenever you swing the chucks, if you miss, the thing that will stop them is your body. I don't really know how to explain it without going too deep into the actual technique used to handle the nunchucks, but I can assure you that if the nunchucks were too heavy you would end up with a few broken ribs... or in this case, a broken shell.

As someone said, it's best not to think about all these things and just enjoy the show for what it is (:

XD Mikey has super strength!!

[Blade Raider]

I just like to think Splinter shops at Bat-Mart.

[Drose18]

I thought he used both chucks to make the kusarigama?

[BabyTurtles]

I thought he used both chucks to make the kusarigama?

whaaa that would be even more confusing! :D

but I see him have an extra nunchuck in his pocket even when he uses the kusarigama.........

which means...can Mikey use double kusarigamas! *_* that would be cool!.....but I don't think it's possible....

[Shredded]

In either case, it's a pretty damn sweet update to the old nun-chucks.

And it's far surpasses the grappling hook they ones exchanged Mikeys nun-chucks with. It's a really cool criss-cross, i actually kind of think Mikey has the coolest weapon right now.

[Teddy]

Yeah...I prefer not to question such things. It just works! ;)

[Ryanator008]

Can somebody get us a clip where it transforms?

[ryukenden]

It's pretty cool to turn chucks into kusarigama. A great way to make Mikey even more imposing. A kusarigama would have made a far better substitute than a grappling hook back in the OT. The nunchaku however, shall and always be Mike's primary weapon. :tgrin:

[Discogod]

This is the biggest problem I have with the new 'toon (well, really the only problem aside from April...). The exact same thing bugs me in almost every Daredevil comic I read, since his billy club often works the same way.

I always thought Mike should be able to join his 'chuks together to form a sansetsukon, that seemed like the logical progression....

I think the other side/ compartment is hidding exactly same place were he hides the water balls...... :D :lol::lol::lol::lol: :twink:

And the smoke bombs, shurikens and climbing hooks...

[Luigiperps]

And the pizza!!!

[Mona_Lisa]

And the pizza!!!

LOL, @ Mikey hidding pizza in his shell:D

The thing is, you never see it transform. There's all these epic camera angles and Mikey close-up and next thing you know, he's throwing the chain from out of nowhere.

lol XD I'm pretty sure when the animators figure it out we will see it happen.

They kinda show it in the first episode, but like others have said it just kinda magically appears...

(sorry I don't know how to post videos) but if you click on the link, its at 8:35

I actually thought it was really cool the toys came with secondary weapons, all of which are REAL martial arts weapons.
All my 2012 Turtles are holding their alternates with their regular weapons on their shells.

Anyway, still not seen the cartoon so I have no idea why Mikey's 'chucks can "transform" or fold out into there.
He should just carry another weapon. It's awesome to show they know more weapons than the classics.

It's easier to pull out when it "transforms" XD I think.

[tlg80]

I think I just gave myself a brain cramp trying to figure this out. Good question, but one that makes me think too darn much. Ah, cartoon logic.

Well if we ignore the "official artwork"

I would say, the "empty compartment" would probably slid up the chain, and connect to the other handle, that way Mikey has something he can grasp ahold of, without his hands being so close to the blade

[Candy Kappa]

Clearly the Nunchaku is of Time Lord technology

Funny that they just pull those things out when needed. Like their belts are bags of holding. :lol: I kind of miss Don's bag of tricks from 2k3, even if it did look a little clunky. You'd think they'd want to at least have a first-aid kit on hand.

"Suspension of disbelief." :D
