Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep20: "Tale of the Yokai"

Yōkai range eclectically from the malevolent to the mischievous, or occasionally bring good fortune to those who encounter them. Often they possess animal features (such as the Kappa, which is similar to a turtle, or the Tengu which has wings), other times they can appear mostly human, some look like inanimate objects and others have no discernible shape.

There are no words to describe how excited I am for this episode, as I'm sure we all are.

Going to the past is very tricky, especially with the tense rivalry between Yoshi and Saki that they will be witnessing. And Tang Shen... there's a lot of excitement to see Tang Shen 'alive' on the screen.

There's been a lot of speculation regarding what she will be like, if the turtles will meet her, and the suffering that will take place. Knowing the greed and anger in Saki's heart, the trauma they're about to see their future father endure - they cannot save her. They can NEVER save her... or they will no longer exist themselves.

How I wish this was a multi-parter arc... how I wish....

Do we know for sure they went back to yoshi, saki and shen's time period. It just seemed a little farther back. What if instead we see the origin of the families fued with each other. Worse what if the turtles are the ones that cause it. I mean splinter and shredder are like in their fifties if that. And the last scene seemed to bee in the feudal time period

There have been previews showing the Turtles meet the young Saki and Yoshi. Also weren't there modern buildings at the end of the last episode?
EDIT: Dude just watch the clip in the top post

I dont watch nick except for turtles so I haven't seen any previews. I just remembered ninjas on horse back. Not the sort of thing you would have seen 50 years ago. Even in japan.

I don't see how that's relevant. I haven't had cable for over a year and I've seen at least 5 previews for this episode. And again, there is one right there in this topic

[TigerClaw]

Almost time.

[Vicky82]

I am not ready!!!!!!!!!

[GoldMutant]

Showtime!!!

Also, I called that clip being the intro. Let's see how it goes.

[TigerClaw]

And it begins.

Good lord what a pompus ass you are. So because you have seen trailers for this new episode it is impossible than spmeone else hasn't seen trailers. I didnt click the link.

[DarkLightDragon]

Aww, cute Karai.

Like Tang Shen and Yoshi having a little disagreement about wanting to leave the clan. Saying the life of a ninja is not for their daughter. Oh, honey, if only you knew...

And being able to take care of yourself? Yeah, blatant foreshadowing right there.

[GoldMutant]

Spoiler:

Still don't like dialogue saying a certain time has passed. Tang Shen as everyone predicted is Karai from the 2014 movie.

No that was knights on horse back. For some reason I thought the ninjas in the final scene from last week were on horse back as well.

[DarkLightDragon]

Love the interactions between the Turtles and Shen. Calling them 'kappa' and Leo holding Miwa as she tugs his bandanna strands. Made me smile.

Really liking this.

The turtles used the horses too. You need to watch the episode again.

[TurFlytle]

That was so emotional. Probably one of the best episodes in Season 3. Next week is Mega Shredder.

[lonewarrior20]

man that was heavy.

my favorite line was "this is just like that one movie!"

[Powder]

Best episode of the season, as we all knew it would be.

[Luckyday]

Well I hate to say this but didn't they drop the ball on the one thing we've been talking about for the last couple of days or is just me?

Spoiler:

I mean we all wondering how Shredder is going to know that he's adopted?
And it was off screen AGAIN! What the **** guys!
