So Hun will indeed be in the show after all. I was really only half expecting it since for better or worse, the show did not seem to draw much inspiration from the 4Kids series. But you know, the Purple Dragons were in the show and let's face it, without Hun they're just that random street gang from issue 1. And when the EPF showed up, that made me expect at least some more 4kids inspiration.

So let's analyse the character as we see him in the story boards. Let's see now, Bruce Lee as a basis and may have black hair instead of blonde, not really invoking the old Hun. But you know, old Bebop was not a cyborg, old Rahzar was not bony and old Wingnut has nothing in common with Kirby as Wingnut, it's not as far off as some of the other redesigns.
And when it comes to references to the old design, he still has the Dragon tattoo (I'll post a pic if you didn't catch that) and while I'm not sure, I think the old Hun might have worn similar jewelry.

Plus, he still has the role of gang leader and Casey's rival. On that front I might be a bit worried that it'll turn out less like Joe Chill/Bruce Wayne, and more like Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy or Yugi Moto/Seto Kaiba given the reduced ages...

I could care less what color hair he has. All I care about is that he turns the PDs into a formidable gang and about his rivalry with Casey and what that's all about.

First of all Bebop is not a cyborg, I have no idea where you got that from. He was simply wearing a special suit. Second of all April's Dad was mutated into "Kirby-bat" as the toy implies, he's not Wingnut.

Third of all we don't know if this Hun will have blonde hair or not. Hopefully he does.

The post-mutation design as well as the story board implies the suit merged with his body. And while you are correct about Kirby-Bat, he was still briefly called Wingnut in the show.

He was called Wingnut as a throwaway gag or joke to older fans. His official name is "Kirby-bat" because it gives the writers some leeway if they actually want to introduce Wingnut/Screwloose later on.

As for Bebop's mutation we probably won't know for sure till the ep airs. Its not like we're ever going to see naked Bebop or Rocksteady either, god knows the Archie comics showed us them without their clothes on.

Hun better have blonde hair or he might as well not be the same character. They could have called him, "Akira" and nobody would know the difference.

Oh, get over it already! Remember that though Rahzar was named by Mikey, he doesn't resemble the actual Rahzar from the movie. Same goes for Tim and Mutagen Man, yet you accept those changes with no problem. Why is it that you are so fixated on this when you don't care about other characters being changed as they are?

"Slash better be green like he was in the old toon or else he's not slash."

That's the kind of logic you're using.

Totally diggin this character. Honestly don't care if he's named Hun or not, but he is kick-ass and I REALLY hope he can give the Turtles a run for their money (face it, Casey is kinda their weaker link). Also hopes he gets at least 2 good episodes before they nerf him.

Hope he isn't nerfed at all. Although it would be kind of wierd to have Hun kicking ass and then Rahzar and Fishface jobbing to the turtles.

I'm looking forward to this character. Would be nice to see a Chinese fighting style along with a Japanese one.

I hope he doesn't because this is not the 4Kids series and is a different version. Get over it.

My thoughts exactly, but you know Cubed. He can't be satisfied with anything.

Well I wanted Hun in the show and it looks like I got him! I'm being optimistic and waiting and seeing how he plays out before judging. So far I don't mind the stray from how Hun is typically protrayed. Let's hope it's good and we get a figure from playmates:D

P.S wonder if Hun will get mutated

Yes but a lot of the characters that were in 2k3 came from Mirage.

Wish that he would be called something different if he wasn't going to look anything or act anything like the original character. I mean this is a new character. and that's cool, so just celebrate it and not weasel in nostalgia where it doesn't even fit.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 2k3 series and never found Hun to be particularly interesting as a villain. He always just seemed like a big, stoic, scary dude. *shrug* Maybe I just ndever saw any good episodes with him. I like him a lot better in IDW. At least he's multi-dimensional.

So I am very excited for this version. He brings a new look and flare. I love Bruce Lee so I can't wait to see more of his moves (and oh the references).

I knew he looked familiar. I honestly can't wait to see this Hun in action.

Most of the characters are 'the same in name only' for the most part. There was no Dr. Falco in past media, Mutagen Man was never a wannabe TMNT fanboy vigilantee, Rahzar was not a martial artist leading his own dojo and so forth. At least Hun still still leads the Purple Dragons and has beef with Casey Jones which are his two most defining traits.

BubblyShell22

Exactly, and that's all we really need to define him as Hun.

I'm okay with this.

Probably because I love Rival Schools and Kyosuke. Hope they go all out and have him fight with paper.

No, all jokes aside, kinda wish they'd done Hun where he was Casey's father. I was really hoping we'd get that version if we got Hun. As is however, dude fights badass and has the badass bookworm design (so yeah, Kyosuke)...I'm digging it. Kinda of another ying to Casey's yang in look, fighting tactics, and fighting style.

So a Bruce Lee knock off you haven't even seen yet can compare with the amazing character development and fight scenes 4kids Hun had?

I'm in tears every time I watch, "Hun on the Run" in the 4kids show. One of the best episodes of all time.

Well, SB did say he likes Bruce Lee, and that's enough for him to like the character. This coming from a man who b*tches about Hun's ethnicity without actually seeing him in action or hearing him speak. Hypocrite much?

I mean, anything based on Bruce Lee is awesome. He was an incredible human being.

I still think this is the worst version of the character by far. He may as well have not been Hun at all. Mercifully, they only used him twice.

Hun better have blonde hair or he might as well not be the same character. They could have called him, "Akira" and nobody would know the difference.

Except “Akira” is a Japanese name and this version of Hun is Chinese.

He was alright, but he was yet another 'brand new character but with a classic character name slapped on him'. The only thing he had in common with classic Hun was that he led the Purple Dragons and had problems with Casey, though in this version the rivalry seemed rather one-sided.

I'm honestly not sure what he's supposed to be in that cartoon, his design just isn't based on a real person like in this show and the art style makes it a bit more ambiguous. His voice actor there is Filipino according to the wiki, so maybe that's what he is?

Possibly. I assume Kitsune is Japanese. I'm not sure what Angel's ethnicity is supposed to be either, but her voice actor is Latina.

I've seen people suggest she is Latina in IDW, which always annoyed me. I guess we don't know what her mother's deal is, but her father is black. And Angel (pronounced on-hel) is a MALE name in Mexican culture, not female.

Angel is a white trash female name in America though.
