I really need to read some Usagi...

I'm certain you'd love it.

If it's the former, I hope he clowns on them for their stupid rainbow headbands

While the UY crossovers are Mirage canon, they're not canon in the UY universe, according to Stan. So I dunno.

Even Shades of Green?

Missed as in there was more they could have done with them instead of just making them faceless mindless drones.

All of it, supposedly.

Just requested the first two volumes of Usagi from my main library. Will let you guys know what I think!

Huh... what about the rest of Usagi vol. 2 by Mirage? Shades of Green was #1-3 of that volume.

Yeah, was about to say... how can they be non-canon when some of them took place directly in the pages of Usagi's core series? In the main story?

*Powder* · 09-15-2016, 11:48 AM

Beats me. Maybe I misunderstood & it was only the Mirage-penned crossovers he doesn't consider canon? I guess it's something worth clarifying with Stan. I wanna say I read about this on one of Pete's ask blogs, but as you can see, the specifics are escaping me.

I do remember seeing something similar on an "Ask Pete" blog post, so I think you're right... probably does mean the stuff HE does is canon, but the Mirage stuff isn't.

Season 5 being more than likely the final season is gonna end well with the intro of Usagi. My oldest child will be happy to hear he's coming. Thanks for this news Vicky!

At the end of the day... does it really matter, though? Nothing meaningful or with lasting consequences happened in any Usagi crossover, ever.

That reminds me... the Flaming Carrot crossover. I've never read that. Is that any good?

Nah, canon stopped meaning anything to me when Laird declared Image TMNT non-canon.

Flaming Carrot...

I've never even heard of that except knowing it's a TMNT crossover.

*ToTheNines* · 09-15-2016, 11:57 AM

It's pretty wretched. Wouldn't recommend wasting your time with either of them.

*plastroncafe* · 09-15-2016, 12:07 PM

But...Raph becomes Bread Boy in the Flaming Carrot x-over!
And they battle the Umpire's Union who've taken over the Umpire State Building and are defending it by throwing pennies off the top!

...

On second thought, it's not your kind of thing, Andrew.

Kirby save us, I am so glad I never bothered to read that...

Absurdist Meta humor is my bread and butter.
It's second only to my love of Slice of Life.
Freakzoid for life!

Eh, absurdist usually doesn't do anything for me.

I did just read "I Hate Fairyland"... which I wouldn't call absurdist but was HILARIOUS. Think Deadpool in the form of a little 8-yr-old Alice rampaging through Wonderland.

*CyberCubed* · 09-15-2016, 12:36 PM

More importantly isn't this a sign the show is going on beyond Season 5 into a Season 6?

Just a while ago Greg Cripes posted a cake saying they finished the voice acting for all 124 episodes (by the end of Season 5 they'll have 124 episodes). However if Stan Sakai just recently signed a deal for Usagi to appear, wouldn't that imply it would have to be in new episodes not completed yet?

Could this be the first confirmation of a Season 6?

I haven't read that yet, but I love Skottie Young's art.
