Kanji all around the turtles
 

So, paying attention to the new footage released for the movie, I realized the turtles got a bunch of kanji written all over, either on their bandanas or Raphael´s scar tattoo
I'm trying to figure them out, so, if anyone has already or if someone finds some good images that we could identify them, I couldn't find images or threads about it, but i believe you guys are way better than me at that, so, if anyone could help :) apreciated

right now, i´m not sure what's Raphael´s
I can only see the bottom clearly

慣 (get experience) ?

憤 (aroused) ?

Not "aroused", no... XD But I saw some posts on Tumblr looking in to it and apparently Raph's mean "beast", Don's mean "bright" (and it's followed by a turtle symbol) and Leo's mean "patient (child)". Haven't seen anything about Mikey's. Btw, anyone who knows what Raph's shoulder scarification means?

There's a post within a thread somewhere that does mention these already, though I think it's a fun topic that deserves its own thread and wouldn't mind hearing more and further confirmation on translations.

I love that they have these, and completely love what Leo's supposedly says (and totally relateable..:tlove:) but I haven't found a good, clear shot of it on the side of his mask yet.

i think someone somewhere said Leo has "Honor" on his

I mentioned this in the trailer thread last month:

Well since we have a dedicated thread now (thanks!) I'll just quote it again here:

If any one can figure out Mikey's please do share it!

I tried to ask them via Twitter and Facebook last night (along with the tattoos), but no response. They don't really seem to reply back to people much. I wish this would be an interesting tidbit of info they'd put out there. Unless of course there's going to be a direct explanation in the film, but I have my doubts.

Whoa! good catch, i haven't even realized that Raph had a kanji there, That second to last pic of him is flipped so the kanji he's got is just 獣 that means "beast" already
Super thanks for the others!

I was refferring though to the one he's got on the top of his head that seems to be the same he's got scarred on his right shoulder (that would have to be sculpted on - if anyone gets the hint - and i didnt want to wait until the movie is out :/)

And it would be very awesome if they did explain their meanings in the movie @_@

ok, from the last spot, my best guess is

I posted this picture in another thread, but who cares? :P

I know the quality is miserable.......my bad......
Hope I could help.

憤 means "anger". Not arousement.

Every help is appreciated!

Then I think we have a winner :tthumbsu:

Found something better! hope now you can find out what it is :D (I know it´s ripped, but the quality is better)

wife thinks the last kanji is either "dog" or "eighteen"

I love that they have their own symbols, wonder what Mikey's means.

that's 獣 - "beast"

Question on the kanji on raph back and the calling sign.
 

Hello does anyone know where I can get a picture of the kanji on raph back and in the movie where he leaves the kanji symbol when fighting the foot on the docks?

I haven't come across any clear shots of the symbols on their backs, unfortunately, don't think we get many shots of them from behind and just standing still enough to get a clear look. :ohwell: Plus with straps and whatnot in the way, hard to see it really.

I don't personally recall ever seeing any of them actually spray painting anything anywhere in the movie, it's just kind there, but not seen who did it. As for the mark itself not yet found it online.



On a different note, better shot of the symbols on Leo's mask. Is it still what was originally believed to have said?

The right side of Leo's bandana says musuko 息子 which means, Son.

I can speak and write Japanese btw.

The sign the turtles left behind looks to be 家门, not sure... can't make it out too clear but there is no such word in Japanese.

Also, Oroku Saki's Japanese is..... good i would say. Not bad but a bit off from the typical japanese's speed + pronunciation. But not bad.
