Which characters are best friends with each other?
 

In the series, which sets of characters are best friends with each other? Like who is each character's best friend?

Off the top of my head:

Raph and Mikey
Raph and Casey

And would Raph be absolute best friends with Mikey or with Casey? Or are they a trio overall that always stick together?

Depends on what medium you are talking about.

But out of all the mediums I have seen, seems Raph and Casey are the best of friends.

All the mediums overall. You can say both in general and specific to a given universe.

Ok.

In the overall universe, I still say Raph and Casey.

In the 2k3 toon, I keep seeing April and Don as best friends.

In the movies, Mikey and Don have a great friendship.

As much as people seem to hate movie 2, it would have been nice to see Keno make a permanent presence in the TMNT world. He's the same age as the Turtles and shares their interests, and would make a great friend to the team, if they were to ever let the character evolve.

And I think Keno is more likable than Cody.

Who's Mikey's best friend overall?

Who's Donnie's?

Who's Leo's?

Raph and Casey seem to be the only buddy duo so far.

Raphael flat-out says that Michelangelo is his best friend in the early Mirages.

OK so far we have (doesn't have to be mutual):

- Raph is Mikey's best friend
- April is Donnie's best friend

Still up in the air:

- If Mikey or Casey is Raph's best friend
- Who is Leo's best friend

Splinter is Leo's best friend!
Is that allowed?

Casey and Don got along great in movie one
April and Don is 2K3

Mikey and Raph from the comics and cartoon. I really like their relationship as best friends especially in the 2K3 series

Leo and Raph in the first movie, I say this cause only best friends fight that much and still love each other Dysfunction at it's finest

Donny and Mikey always seem the closest in the movies and I guess its a reflection on Raph and Leo's totally opposite yet close relationship

Certainly allowed.

But it seems like there are some inconsistencies with the absolute best friends for almost everyone.

How about the best friends of the secondary characters?

haha Bebop and rocksteady...That came to my mind instantly:lol:

There are a lot of secondaries in 2K3 though...but I can't think of any that I could place as best friends...???

Who's April's best friend?

Splinter's?

Casey's?

Karai's?

Whoever else is a significant character in TMNT besides the four Turtles.

Mondo Gecko- Mikey
Mona Lisa- Raph

Mona Lisa appeared only once and should not count.

I do not remember how many times did Mondo Gecko show up.

I mentioned best friends for a reason- not just someone who shows up once or twice.

People like Leatherhead do count, though.

And who is Saki's best friend? In all possible incarnations.

I am just trying to compile a big list saying who is the best friend for all important characters in every universe, as well as overall.

I just really love how the movies and 2k3 toon have really emphasized the friendship between Raph and Casey.

Sure, Raph might have said somewhere in Mirage comics that Mikey is his best friend, but it is portayed far more natural the friendship between Raph and Casey on screen.

Ah alright. Well, I'll give you Mona Lisa, but Mondo Gecko was always meant to be similar to Mikey and his best friend. He appeared twice in the old show, as Mikey's best friend and also appeared several times in the Archie comics also as Mikey's best friend.

As for Shredder.... he had no real friends, just subordinates. I doubt he'd really count Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, Baxter, Hun or Tatsu friends. It's really hard to tell in the 2K3 show if Shredder really did see Karai as a daughter, or was just really good at molding the perfect pawn to take care of things on Earth while he was in space.

Well, in Exodus, The Shredder went on a rampage on Raphael for beating up Karai, when Shredder was trying to board a ship that would take him away from earth, and he simply could have just kept on going, without a second thought for Karai.

But he didn't. He stepped up to protect her, so in some way, there is some understanding between those two that go below the surface.

Leonardo is also very close to Usagi in the 4Kids cartoon.

Splinter even uses there friendship to try to bring Leo out of his funk in season 4.

Usagi spends the most time with Leo out of all the Turtles in the comic, but they aren't as close as in the cartoon. I actually wish we could see the two go a few Tales adventures together.
