Senpai- An upperclassman, someone of a higher age.

As for upperclassmen, you just proved Karai is older than Shinigami by mentioning the definition. The word is often to address someone older like a freshman student to a senior in high school. It's only one episode, but either way Karai is at least one year or a few months older.

Thats not really her fault. Thats the writer's fault.

Anyways yeah she seems pretty cool so far, I hope she gets fleshed out eventually.

Or Karai outranks Shini, an upperclassman being younger than a youngerclassman isn't too uncommon

Oh no, I play entirely fair on this one, those Nick Turtles are portrayed far too young. I could still hug them to pieces, but any day dreaming of snuggling up with any of them imo belong to kids of their actual age group.

(Now versions that are portrayed like young adults and age can be pretty disregarded, well that's a different matter. )

She wouldn't have called her sempai if Karai weren't older.

That's even better.

After all of these years, this knowledge has finally provided me with the information needed to at last find a photograph of Cubed.

Is this the one single topic where Cubed actually forgets how old he's getting?

Sempai doesn't always apply to one's age though. Yes it means upperclassmen, but an upper-classmen doesn't always have to be older then people under them. A white belt student in any form of martial arts would call any other color belt Sempai regardless of how old or young they were.

Eater of jokes wouldn't be as funny. But you're right. I feel like I have to clear my history after fact checking that one lol

Actually Shini would be older then 11-14,

Karai was 16 years old at the start of the series and the Turtles are celebrating their 15th mutation birthday Day. While they don't often talk about time passing, they do point out events occurring in previous years. Such as KSP saying that it took 2 years to fix the technodrome.

So if the Turtles are roughly 18 now, that would make Karai 19. So if Shini is indeed younger the Karai rather than Karai being at a higher rank within the Foot Clan, then she would be 18 year old.

No snake tried to correct me and said the correct term was Hephephile so I made a joke that Shini's age range would be 11-14 I already knew Shini was older than 14

So that time travelling bimbo Renet is out of the picture for Mikey then? Well can't blame him, she's not from this world's time era.

Ah Hisoka...I know he's a psycopath. But some of the things he says as well as some of the stuff he does while Gon and Killua are around does come across as "I need an adult" creepy.

He isn't the only character in Togashi's work that has that has that trait.

I doubt she's out of the picture. As she said...She hasn't been born yet and it's not really known if she will be in Mikey's lifetime. So he's seeing Shinigami as a more immediate love interest.

If Shinigami referred Karai as Senpai/Sempai with Martial Arts terminology in mind, that indicates Karai is below Dan level. Which seems unlikely if she is to rebuild and take over the Foot from Shredder.

Shini used "senpai" to address Karai, so either Karai is slightly older or she's doing it based on rank...or the writers of this show don't know what they're doing.

[Splinter the boss]

I like Shinigami. I like her style, I hope her character gets expanded on, like where her powers come from.

She's okay. Not a bad character, but can't say I'm a fan yet.

Spoiler:

Hoping she's intended to be a bit older, because the implant look on a teen kind of bugs me a little. Not a damn bit of gravity happening there, those are definitely fake/faked.

Get a grip, they're not even that big, and a show like that isn't going to show boob jiggle fysics.
