Still, think you might be looking into this a bit too much  |
I perfectly fine with a whole range of answers from the writers/creators choosing it from the top of their heads saying "Eh...we just randomly chose it" to something very complex like "Since the sword has always had some type of leadership aspect to it in entering battle so....and it's why Leonardo has katanas.... and knowing Leo and Raph's conflicting personalities it's why the sais were chosen for Raph....a defense weapons against his leadership(blah, blah, blah) etc." and likewise for the bandana colors.
It's just with any type of art/creation whether it's a comic/story/painting etc.,
sometimes the author/creators uses symbolism to get their point across and I thought something
as iconic as these objects of the Turtles' personalities (colored bandanas and weapons) may have possibly had that. It's just I'm surprised these two questions were
never solved on a factual level and it remains speculation after ALL this time, That's all...
