TMNT #91 Preview and Discussion

The Pantheon, Karai, and Kitsune are defeated but Splinter perishes in the fight and Saki becomes the father figure/sensei of the TMNT at the request of Splinter.

That would be awkward considering he beheaded them in their past life but he was the embodiment of Tatsuo, possibly possessed and by this time maybe Saki has redeemed himself completely.

I don't know. It's just a wild thought.

If you need more to fuel this theory, look no further than Shredder in Hell #1.

Spoiler:

Yoshi tries to convince Saki to embrace the Dreamer, to become one with it. Later, Tang Shen tells him to "save the world" when he goes to help Saki. What if the DREAMER wants to use Saki as his vessel as well? Karai becomes the vessel for the Dragon Lord, Saki becomes the vessel for the Dreamer.

More proof that Karai might become the vessel for the Dragon Lord lies in the fact that she is Kitsune's grand-daughter, after all. Wiiiiiild theory incoming, but maybe Kitsune hooking up with Saki was never about her making him the Dragon Warrior, but about her CREATING the Dragon Warrior, one who'd come from a line of the greatest mortal warrior she had ever encountered and leader of Foot Clan, as well as being a God. At the end of the day, the blood of the Dragon doesn't run through Saki, it runs through Karai.
