Question old cartoon
 

Hello

I Have one question ... What is the first name of the shredder in old cartoon ... Oroku or saki? He has a brother named Saki ...I'm confused ^^'. Thanks !

His name is Oroku saki. In the comic books he has a brother named Oroku nagi.

What you say is right, Powder. However, Umbre is asking about the Shredder's name in the Old Toon, where in theory it's the same as in the comics (Saki being the name, Oroku the last name) but then the creators of the show goofed big time when they gave Shredde'r brother the last name of Saki.

Yep, at least in "My brother the bad guy" Oroku is considered to be his first name and Saki his last name, as his brother is Lt. Saki. In other versions (and in other episodes of cartoon?) Oroku is the last name or familyname to be more exact.

Thank you for your answers!:)

The mystery continues, tho...

Comic-wise, his given name is Saki, with Oroku being the family name. In the cartoon, Oroku is his given name, with Saki being the surname.

Hamato Yoshi WAS Splinter in the toon, where in the comics, Splinter was the PET RAT of Yoshi.

Michelangelo was misspelled Michaelangelo until 2001.

Darth Vader was Luke's father...

Not true. They just assed it up in one episode.

The traditional Japanese fashion is family name first and given name last, which was the case in the Mirage comics as well.

Yeah.. "My Brother the Bad Guy" where his cop brother is Kazuo Saki. But Im thinking Kazuo didn't want to be associated with his mom (who was a criminal in her own right) and brother so he just simply changed his name.

That's kind of relative, though, isn't it?

I mean, my daughter's name is Alanna and yet I'm positive there are Alanas, Allanas, and Alannahs. If you go back far enough to the right country, I'm even willing to bet there is an "original" spelling of the name.... but does that mean any of those other ones are "misspelled?"

If "Michaelangelo" was the name he was given by Splinter, spelled just like that, then how is that misspelled?

Yes, I realize that Peter is retroactively saying that it was always intended to be spelled "Michelangelo" so it was a goof on their part, but I'm just sayin'...

True considering in "The Legend of Koji" his ancestor's name is Oroku Sancho instead of Sancho Saki.

What bothers me is that I actually like that episode lol. I wish that mix up just happened in some sh*t-bag episode that I'll never watch again like "the turtle terminator"

While Sancho actually is a Japanese word/name, I always laugh at how latin it sounds lol

Yeah.. Sancho is a type of Japanese pepper... *lol* But yeah...it's also a Spanish name that derives from the latin word (sanctus) for Holy/Saintly.

In the 19th century and probably before, correct spelling wasn't an issue, presumably because literacy was so low in that era.

Ah, okay, thanks. My bad. I just went by memory.

More of a typo than a misspell, since you yourself said that Peter goofed up.

Anywho, it's been rectified.

Darth Vader is still Luke's father, though.

I believe I heard about an episode that Raph was a singing telegram person. What episode was that?

LMAO in Mexico Sancho is slang for 'the other man'. So I guess Saki was an evil ninja, Kazuo was a cop, and their ancestor Sancho was the 'plumber that was fixing all the women's pipes' in town while their hubbies were away. LMAO

"Splinter Vanishes"

:lol: nice.

Kazuo Saki
 

Is Kazuo Saki only around in the 1987 cartoon?

Yeah, the Saki family we see in the cartoon only exists there.

Mother
 

But his mother is the same in some otheer versiosn too?

I know this is random but I love the episode "The Legend of Koji". It seems like a mix between the OT and the 2k3 toon.

Maybe Kazuo Saki was just his Stepbrother? Thats why he isn't evil at all8)

This is now canon lol

I've got a question:

In the Two Part episode from Season 5 "Planet of the Turtloids" the Technodrome doesn't seem to be placed in the arctic ice! I just rewatched the two episodes: In part One it seems to be under the ocean (Rocks on the bottom and a Blue Sky, but in Part Two there are Rocks everywhere!

However: In the beginning of the episode Krang says that he wants to build a Heatbeam to free the Technodrome, which seems that it's still in the arctic!

Two Screenshots from the episode are in the attachement
Can somebody tell me where it's situated?

They were probably some advertising episodes.
