Your favorite Karai

Well, I haven't really read the comics so I don't know Karai in there but judging from your comments, she looks pretty badass and strong. But since I have to cope with the Karais the I know (which is the 2003, 2007, and the 2012) well, here is my opinion:

2003 Karai - She's somewhat cool here and she kicked the Turtles' butt. But I don't really like her voice. It sounds raspy, and it's like she just forces herself to speak with a hint of a Japanese accent. It's annoying. (And I hated her even more when she killed Leo and Raph in SAINW.. ) Sooo... nope.

2007 Karai - I actually liked her here. Even if she just appeared for a few minutes and stuff. And I liked how she took over the Foot completely and led them into battle, and it seems like she changed the Foot. Before, they're just killers who followed every order Shredder gives them, even if it will cause destruction. But here, the Foot grew soft and they fought with honor. And when I saw Karai supporting her fellow ninja to stand, my heart grew warm. Because I realize that she actually cares about them. Her voice here has a natural sounding accent, because of the fact that the one who voiced her is a chinese, Zhang Ziyi, and it actually suited her in my opinion. But what I don't like is she sounds bored out of her mind whenever she speaks. No emotion, no NOTHING. (And yes fans, I also don't like the part where she'd been defeated by a newbie ninja reporter. Ugh!) But the positive side is... she's actually VERY beautiful in here. XD

2012 Karai - So they made a different twist. Karai's a teen here. A VERY rebellious teen. And she's kinda like a goth/emo/punk/whatever too. And I'm like, 'what did they do to the honorable girl I know?!' But at least, she kept her fighting skills. Her voice doesn't even have a hint of Asian in there. they said she was raised in Japan. Why did her voice sound so American then?! And her confrontation scenes with Leo is starting to freakin annoy me. Because she just suddenly swoops in in the middle of a fight and tries to knock the hell out of Leo. And she doesn't always succeed. I also don't like the fact that they're supposed to be fighting, not talking. And the animation always slows down whenever they fight, but in the other action scenes it's so fast and you'll be like, 'WHAT THE SHELL IS HAPPENING?!' I don't like her at all in this. And making her Splinter's daughter just adds salt to the wound. Plus, I don't like how she looks.

So overall, 2007 Karai is my favorite. It's just that voice and fighting skills that I'm worried about. If they fixed that she would make a great Karai.

And as for the 2014 version... let's just hope it wouldn't disappoint us.
