Lady Shredder is still ultimately the AI. They just happen to look like Karai's daugher now.

You don't think that "armor doing the thing the armor has been doing since the beginning" is less stupid than "armor suddenly is its own entity now"?

Amai means sweet, so it still tracks. But I'm still not even convinced the "spicy" Karai would be the legitimate origin of her name in-universe, or even out, unless P&L have said something.

Like almost all Japanese, Karai can be read or meant in different ways.

辛い - harsh temperment
鹹い - spicy
渦雷: Tropical cyclone
花蕾: Flower bud (you know, like blossoming)
