Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 16: Broken Foot

[Yoshimickster]

On the topic of Mikey's crush on Shini over Renet, I am on team "Renet's in the freaking future and he didn't seal the deal in the first place". Shell Raph's long distance relationship with a salamander lady looks more stable than that!

ON THE SUBJECT OF THAT...anyone else getting some...Makorra vibes from Raph and Mona? Like they look TOO cute together, the kind of cuteness you see before a GIANT break-up?

I'm trying to remember what kind of advertisements ran on the back of Mirage comics in the 2000s, but I might have to dig out my collection to confirm. There was usually some picture of a sea turtle.

A break up with absolutely no ramifications or purpose because I'm pretty sure no one cares about Raph and Mona Lisa. It would literally mean nothing.

Second to my knowledge? Also 2K7 Reference?

Karai is reckless, she should slow down a bit.
Rocksteady's mom used to wear boots as well, I guess it runs in the family.
So, Karai tried to use her feminine charms on Leo, how bizarre and awkward!

In the voting poll, it says that April threatened Karai, I didn't see it.

EDIT: I appreciate it that Karai spoke a little Japanese in the episode. Probably because the foot soldiers don't understand English.

It's that point where April turns to regard Karai and her happy relieved expression sours. It kinda reminded me of that moment in ATLA when Zuko has just joined Team Avatar and Katara appears and says "You may have everyone else convinced you have changed. But let me tell you, if you do anything to harm Aang, if you do anything to indicate that you are going back to your old ways. I will... kill you."

Heck even at the end when Karai is saying she realizes that it's too risky to take down petty organizations and what she really must do is take out the Shredder himself. Leo looks like he's snarling at her as though saying "Excuse me? I nearly lost a brother because I was foolish enough to follow your stupidity! And now you want to kick the whole freaken hornets nest?!"

So it might be safe to say that Kaleo is over...at least as far as him helping her with her missions. From here on out he would help save her...but he and his brothers will try and stop her in order to get her to realize, she is taking on something that is more than she can handle.

She now attempting to go after Shredder AGAIN despite what happened the LAST time she tried that!!! She's still so STUBBORN!

[TigerClaw]

Finally watched the episode on my Tivo, I thought it was pretty good, plenty of action, nice seeing TigerClaw, Bebop, Rocksteady and Hun back.

A shell of a bunch of fan-artists on Tumblr say otherwise. ALSO-I hope its not a "nothing" break-up, I want PASSION, talkin' "Steak me Amadeus" in Regular Show.

"Omae-tachi, mae!" She pretty much said, "You all, front and center."

Maybe if you're a shipper, sure. But the regular viewer has been given absolutely no reason to care about their "relationship". It feels so forced and unnatural.

And much like Makorra, can easily be justified with a break-up story.

It's not a surprise, really... Think about what her life has been like! There's a whole lot to overcome.

I wish I could speak Japanese. It sounds so cool in anime when the villains speak, especially those of the likes of Tobi, Madara from Naruto shippuden.

Exactly! Karai was never raised like the turtles have been and so while Karai is also trying to do right by her family, her approach is the only way she knows how. You can't fault her and you can't dismiss what she's trying to bring about either.

Really enjoyed this episode.

• Loved Leo's new outfit. Very IDW.
• "Maggot Boy!"
• "Yo Momma wears combat boots." "Hey, Momma does wear the combat boots!"
• Shinigami - Awesome as always. Where does she get those wonderful hats?
• Thanks for the Elite Foot, Nick. Now how about some 2K3 DVDs?

[ranger_scout]

Karai really does have a very long way to go for a full chance at redemption. It was kind of strange seeing Leo wearing a black mask for the majority of the episode. Obviously, he won't keep it now that he won't be doing anymore of these secret missions since the last one resulting in Donnie getting knocked out pretty badly.

"I like your style, Witch Girl...."

Wow what a great episode!!! Nice homage to Mirage Shredder with those New Foot Bots.

ALSO- glad I purchased 3 red ninjas in the Articulated Icons Kickstarter. These will look great next to Karai!

They are actually a re-used model from Chromedome from season 1, who in turn was a re-used model of Bradford's Foot attire on his first appearence.

They're supposed to be Elite Guards, like in Mirage.
