Karai. clarifications
 

Warning: this tread may contain confusions. Don't get bothered with my tread, don't like it - leave. Easy.

How about I headcanon that Karai character of Nickelodeon is
1.different
・to Mirage comic, Tournament Fighters
and for later incarnation of the cartoon
・2003(next generation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") - younger Karai with different backstory (the one that went with Shredder adopted and raised route, and 2007 TMNT movie kept that way, (¬_¬)TurtlesForever movie, later (other generation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") the idea was reused in IDW comic and for Nickelodeon's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon
2.an original character
3.combined character(if there is a Lotus Blossom thing, maybe it was thought that Karai and Lotus were the same character).


__________________
Miwa plot:
Headcanons for Miwa plot is
1) She's a seperate character, not Karai
2) Miwa's existence: was it even ever real or not... those stories Sprilter(Hamato Yoshi) was telling...
"Sure":
・questioning the possibility of her being alive or not
3) Karai's being constanty confused/brainwashed.
__
・Karai's family: Headcanon:
Karai is Shredder's biological daughter (she was never in Mirage(were partners) niether through 00's(in cartoon she was a 4-7 year old child when she saw Shredder and he adopted her)) but IDW suddenly came up with it but then before that IDW Karai was calling Shredder a grandfather :trolleye:).
・Miwa's family: Headcanon:
Miwa was never Yoshi's and/or Tang Shen's daughter(IDW and Nick turned them into wife and husband instead before they've had a love interent relationship) and/or even in biological termes.

Question: In what other versions of tmnt Karai was named and raised by the Shredder (except Nickelodeon's, my target question is for basically the IDW tmnt comic and 4kid's tmnt cartoon)


Other differences with before established Karais:
・Leader of the foot in Japan:
Nick Karai isn't a leader of the foot in Japan. IDW comic: member of the foot clan, source - turtlepedia.

Different tmnt universe(paramount movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" 2014):
Possibility:A Karai will possibly make an appearance. An asian actress as a ninja.

So basically what you're saying is Karai isn't Miwa in your headcanon, even though it's confirmed? That doesn't make sense.
And Karai was only raised by Shredder in 2k3, Nick and IDW and possibly the 2007 movie. In other incarnations she was just a higher up foot clan member.

People really seem to hate Karai=Miwa thing, don't they?

Something tells me people wouldn't have liked it if they rehashed how 2k3 did the whole Karai thing either.

I have to agree. Karai has always been my favorite character, in all incarnations, but she went a bit off the wall in 2k3... :/

I disagree. Karai wasn't a bit off the wall in 4Kids; she was a flat-out whiny, ass-kissing bitch.

I think in 4Kids Karai was trying too hard to be like her father. At least in the Nick series she isn't afraid of going against him and doing her own thing, which I like. And I like how she's Miwa in the Nick show. Gives her more depth and adds to the whole Splinter/Shredder rivalry.
