I agree, though I only brought that up because I said the saki connection was in part two my original post, and then someone 'corrected' me on that miniscule point. Not worth quibbling over. Moving on...


I still think the whole Yoshi back story can be saved for a sequel. Heck, I would've loved Baxter being the villain for the first movie where they introduced April, then show Shredder in a scene at the end.

Actually, Panda, he elaborated more on the rivalry later on, but he did bring up that he lost his wife and daughter due to Shredder. Watch "Rise of the Turtles" again and pay attention to when Splinter is talking to Leo about all leaders having to face failure and how he narrates the story before they go to the Kraang base.
