ahem

within the ninja tradition, 'saki' (which is usually spelled 'sakki') means, literally 'force of the killer' or 'killing intent'. it is the 'vibes' living beings put off when they have the intention of harming another. sakkijutsu is the ninja art of being able to 'sense' the sakki and avoid unseen attacks (kinda like the turtles did in a recent mirage issue while fighting blinded).

very appropriate name for the Shredder, i think. like i said previously, Eastman and Laird have done their homework.
