"Booyakasha"
 

Why? Did the rights to 'cowabunga' get sold to someone else? Are they trying to make it seem "updated" for the '10s? I cringe a little every time.

Cipes was messing around in his recording session and it flew out, the crew liked it so it stuck. Plain & simple.
Cowabunga was never the turtles' anyway, it goes back as far as the 60's.

I think it was either Ciro or Greg Cipes that said in an interview "Cowabunga' could return.

But honestly, I've grown to like "Booyakasha" a lot. It's not Cowabunga, but it's still pretty fun to say.

Cowabunga sounded a bit dated. It fits OT but I'm glad they changed that to Booyakasha now.
I think Cipes got the inspiration from Teen Titans. Beast Boy and Cyborg always says "Booyah!" a lot.

I agree, even though I used to yell "cowabunga" now and then as a kid, I think "booyakasha" was a good way to modernize the show, as they have done in many other ways. A lot of people still say "booya", and expanding it to booyakasha makes it more unique for the show.

I love "Booyakasha!" and hope it never goes away because it's so much fun to yell as Mikey told Karai in "Enemy of my Enemy."

I love Booyakasha! Mikey is right it is fun to yell :D

I'm still waiting for Leo to say it....

Me too, BT. He's the only Turtle who hasn't said it yet, but I'm sure he will eventually. At least, I hope so.

No way! *fake deep voice* Guys, we have to be quiet. Ninjas are quiet. Quiet down.

"I sound nothing like that!"
"Yeah, you sound nothing like that. That's why everyone is laughing."

Aaaaahahahahahaha, I never get tired of that.

Maybe so that they could differentiate the show from the OT a bit? :roll: Not everything needs to stay the same..

maybe when he's falling after jumping out of that exploding building....he can whisper..."Booyakasha...."

XD

The characters have the same names and base personalities, but to me the original and 2012 are nothing alike otherwise. To me it sounds like they're trying too hard to be "modern" and "relevant." Less annoying than plain 'booya' would be, though.

I like booyakasha. It never felt like they were trying to hard to replace cowabunga to me. Honestly I tend to think cowabunga should stay reserved for the OT.:twink:

You know, when you put it that way, I find myself agreeing. Congratulations, you convinced someone on the Internet to change their mind - I'm pretty sure there's a Nobel Prize for that. :D

there should be :D

Kayaboosha, dudes.

Well said gobo, well said.

It's okay with me, but I guess we'll see if it sticks as the years pass, then it would seem more "comfortable". :ohwell:

I don't really care one way or another. Booyakasha is fine by me. At least it's original.

I just hope we get at least one "Goongala" from Casey :lol:
