How do you pronounce "Rahzar?"
 

Is it RAY-Zar or RAZ-ar?

Sometimes the characters pronounce his name one way or the other. In the Nick episode "Vision Quest" Mikey said "Raz-ar" and so did April in one scene in TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze.

Yet other times characters call him, "RAY-zar" too.

What is the correct way?

The 'h' makes me think RAZ-zar, but I personally have always gone with RAY-zar. It sounds better.

For the definitive answer you'd probably have to find whoever came up with the character and ask what the pronunciation is.

Same as above. It looks like RAZ-ar, but it sounds better imo like RAY-zar.

I thought it was supposed to be "RAY-zar" because it sounds like a razor, you know, the device people shave their beards with?

I've been using razors the wrong way then.
Eh eh eh.

Rah-zar.

You know. Like it's spelt.

If it's in English I pronounce his name as "Rah-zar".

I too always said Ray-zar. Now I sometimes say Rah-zar like in the Nick series. I prolly alternate between the two unconsciously.

I like Rah-zar but I guess Ray-zar is ok. I guess it depends on the turtleverse we're talking about for the official name.

It was originally Rah-zar in SotO, so I'd go with that.

Another vote for Rah-zar.

Likewise I assume 'razor' was prob the inspiration, but Rah-zar also takes less effort to pronounce, even if the difference is minor, so not surprised if it's common.

Rah-Zar. I like it better, but I've used RAY Zar before.

I say Rah-zar, like it was originally pronounced in SoTo, and again by Mike in the Nick show when he renamed Bradford.

I Pronounce it as Rah-Zar, like in the Second Movie.
I think it sounds menacing.

Another one for the "Rah-zar" camp here - SoTO shaped my opinion of how it should be pronounced.

I have always said RAY-zar....pretty sure thats what shredder says too when he "announces" them

Correctomundo. & I followed suit, 'cause he named the character (in canon, anyway).

Actually, that's a good point. I guess it's like how everyone pronounces "Leia" differently in Star Wars: A New Hope. :lol:

But... they say Ray-zar in SotO...

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was only April who called him, "Raz-ar" in TMNT II, while everyone else called him, "RAY-zar."

I remember people saying April mispronounced his name.
