Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep20: "Tale of the Yokai"
 

There are no words to describe how excited I am for this episode, as I'm sure we all are. :)

Going to the past is very tricky, especially with the tense rivalry between Yoshi and Saki that they will be witnessing. And Tang Shen... there's a lot of excitement to see Tang Shen 'alive' on the screen.

There's been a lot of speculation regarding what she will be like, if the turtles will meet her, and the suffering that will take place. Knowing the greed and anger in Saki's heart, the trauma they're about to see their future father endure - they cannot save her. They can NEVER save her... or they will no longer exist themselves.

How I wish this was a multi-parter arc... how I wish....

Do we know for sure they went back to yoshi, saki and shen's time period. It just seemed a little farther back. What if instead we see the origin of the families fued with each other. Worse what if the turtles are the ones that cause it. I mean splinter and shredder are like in their fifties if that. And the last scene seemed to bee in the feudal time period

There have been previews showing the Turtles meet the young Saki and Yoshi. Also weren't there modern buildings at the end of the last episode?
EDIT: Dude just watch the clip in the top post

I dont watch nick except for turtles so I haven't seen any previews. I just remembered ninjas on horse back. Not the sort of thing you would have seen 50 years ago. Even in japan.

That was the last episode Turtles in Time, The turtles were in medival times.:roll:

I don't see how that's relevant. I haven't had cable for over a year and I've seen at least 5 previews for this episode. And again, there is one right there in this topic

Almost time. :)

I am not ready!!!!!!!!!

Showtime!!! :)

Also, I called that clip being the intro. Let's see how it goes.

And it begins.

Good lord what a pompus ass you are. So because you have seen trailers for this new episode it is impossible than spmeone else hasn't seen trailers. I didnt click the link.

Aww, cute Karai.

Like Tang Shen and Yoshi having a little disagreement about wanting to leave the clan. Saying the life of a ninja is not for their daughter. Oh, honey, if only you knew...

And being able to take care of yourself? Yeah, blatant foreshadowing right there.

No that was knights on horse back. For some reason I thought the ninjas in the final scene from last week were on horse back as well.

Love the interactions between the Turtles and Shen. Calling them 'kappa' and Leo holding Miwa as she tugs his bandanna strands. Made me smile.

Really liking this.:D

The turtles used the horses too. You need to watch the episode again.

That was so emotional. :cry: Probably one of the best episodes in Season 3. Next week is Mega Shredder.

man that was heavy.

my favorite line was "this is just like that one movie!"

Best episode of the season, as we all knew it would be.

Well I hate to say this but didn't they drop the ball on the one thing we've been talking about for the last couple of days or is just me?

OMG!!!! that episode was awesome and intense, i'm in tears right now. :cry:

It's probably just you , so far people are really liking this episode.

My God, that episode was phenomenal. Can't wait for Mega Shredder. My only complaint is that I wish the episode ended with Leo being pissed off and saying they need to kill the Shredder.

Great Episode, although, it makes me wonder when was this set? The Seventies? Eighties, maybe?

They'll probably touch on that next episode as his motive for going to Shredders lair.

16 years ago

best.episode.yet!!! I laughed, screamed and cried. Mikey and Donnie watching Shen's dead body... that was just too much.

And am I the only one who was screaming for Leo to save Miwa after Shen ran into the burning house?

How could they do it on screen, the point was he had known for years.

I don't believe that needed to be a necessary reveal on screen.

So probably early 90s.

It happend 16 years ago so it be 1996, i'm going by from 2012.

Well, Karai is 16 years old as of now and the show takes place in the early 21st century (more specifically 2012) so yeah.

Hey, you know what isn't the appropriate response to what I said? Name calling. I was trying to tell you that your question's answer was not only readily accessible, but also right in front of you. Don't get mad at me because you failed to follow directions.

I think that this episode takes place in 1994-95, Hamato Yoshi moves to New York in 1996, and buys the Turtles in 1997.

It was a good episode, It was quite emotional at the end.

I expect Splinter moved to New York as soon as his father died as it was mentioned he was ill.

So if Karai was born in 95/96, she was probably a few months old in this episode.
I expect Splinter moved to New York a few months later so it be about 97 as the turtles were probably a couple of months old when they mutated. Karai is a year older than the turtles.

Tale Of The Yokai IGN review is up.

9.0

Man this was really good and a surprising twist that Splinter & Shredder are brothers, even if Shredder is adopted.
He's such a crazy ungrateful asshole.
I never yell at me tv during shows but this one had me screaming "Come On!!" when the turtles didn't stop Shredder from taking Karai.
I really thought that's how she would be cured.
A pretty action packed and emotional episode like others have said.
I also really enjoyed the Capa back story and the art.

Ain't it technically a year after the show started. I thought the Turtles was 15 when the show began? So it would make it 2013 for the current timeline.

So are they ever going to address Shredder's American accent?
Pig Goat Banana Cricket looks dumb AF.

They mentioned in vengeance is mine that Splinter and Shredder were raised as brothers.

The Turtles couldn't stop Shredder from abducting Miwa, because if Splinter had Miwa he wouldn't have needed the Turtles in his life. So as much as they would have wanted to save her so they could spare her from what she would become, they couldn't because it would affect the future.

Was it said before that Shen was actually part Chinese? Because people sure like to get their panties in a bunch over her Chinese name. I guess that's the writers way of saying 'suck it'. Lol.

That was a great episode. Lotsa cool fights, seeing the events that lead to Splinter going to New York, baby Miwa... Also, Shredder's voice coming out of a regular-looking dude is so awkward.
