New appreciation for Splinter being Hamato Yoshi.

I like this version of Splinter too. It makes more sense on how the turtles would be able to know Ninjutsu. While animals are smart, I doubt that a rat would be able to completely remember his past life and be able to teach ninjutsu. And it also gives him more background and more of a reason for him to be Shredder's archenemy. The other reasons didn't really cut it. 2k3 was because Splinter and his sons were always stopping his plans. '87 was because of a rivalry and Splinter possibly proving his innocence and reclaiming his rightful place as the Shidoshi of the Foot Clan. They were pretty weak motives compared to this one.
