Slicing and Dicing
I remember episodes where Leonardo and Raphael used their weapons. I can think of numerous episodes where Leonardo chopped up a foot soldier with his swords, or where Raphael put a sai to some robots head to scramble its circuits. I've also seen Raphael throw his sais at opponents, which is pretty dangerous if you think about it. I guess only in Cartoon World do characters have a perfect sense of aim.
The whole nunchukus fiasco just didn't make sense to me. That weapon was part of Michaelangelo's identity, and a few parents didn't like it for some reason. There are several cartoons that air today that are far more violent than the Ninja Turtles ever were, and you don't see parents swooping down with heavy hands on those shows.
"Let me guess. You guys are the Tooth Fairy, right?"
"NAAAHHH!" There ain't four Tooth Fairies, stupid. Them's the Seven Dwarfs!"
