Question Splinter was human before right?

Naruto · 03-28-2004, 07:13 PM

Hey I watched alot of TMNT old and new, and one day im strolling threw the TMNT offical site and they are saying that They never said if Splinter was once human or not. But I do recall them showing and saying he used to be human. The question is, Was splinter human before or no?(I also would like to add in the move TMNT he was a rat owned by shredder which also brings more to my cofusion in this question)

In the 80's cartoon, Hamato Yoshi was turned in to splinter, but in every other version, Splinter was Hamato's pet rat.

Naruto · 03-28-2004, 07:31 PM

Well that explains alot. So you guys think he will be the pet or rat in the new cartoon? I havent been able to keep up to date with the new ones =( i like the new ones but I like sleep too cause I get up to late or to early and then take a quick nap hehehehe

Orochi Chimera · 03-28-2004, 07:49 PM

They already showed him as a pet/rat in the new show.

Naruto · 03-28-2004, 08:01 PM

Yeah but i recall, him saying he still had a further past that he never told April.

Officailly,

Splinter was just Hamato Yoshi's pet rat. He learned the ways of the ninja by copying his owner's movements. Yoshi and Oruko Nagi (Both members of the Foot Clan) compeated for the love a lady named Tang Shen. Shen only loved Yoshi, but Nagi was eating up of jealousy. One night, Nagi burst into the home of Shen and beat her senceless when she admitted to only loving Yoshi. At the last minute Yoshi arrived home to find her beloved Shen beat up by his arch rival. Defending his girl, Yoshi killed Oruko Nagi. Both Yoshi and Shen then fled to New York. But Nagi left behind a little brother, Oruko Saki, to avenge himself. Saki was taken under the wing of the Foot clan, and quickly surpassed his teachers. Saki, now a ruthless samurai called The Shredder, was chosen to head the New York Branch of the Foot Clan. Shredder took this as an oppitunity to assassinate Yoshi to avenge the death of his brother. Shredder broke into Yoshi's apartment and killed both Yoshi and Shen. But Yoshi left behind Splinter, a now mutant rat, to avenge his death.

The only reason they had Splinter and Yoshi the same person in the old show was because they couldn't show all that murder and revenge on a kids show.

Naruto · 03-28-2004, 08:15 PM

Yeah but someone has a site that shows the comic, and it shows Yoshi turning into Splinter.

Demonfox38 · 03-28-2004, 08:16 PM

Yeah, that's a fan comic. He's doing it mostly from the old cartoon with a couple of new elements.

Naruto · 03-28-2004, 08:22 PM

Well that fixs things for me. Hey where did you learn this stuff about splinter and his past, as much as i enjoyed and never tried to miss TMNT in the past, i never heard about that stuff, actually if it was in the comic, i didnt know what a comic was until i was 10 lol

That would be the Archie comics, which were set in the same Universe as the old toon.

*Buslady* · 03-28-2004, 10:27 PM

in the comics, movies and new toon, always been a rat..

*Coola Yagami* · 03-29-2004, 12:21 AM

cartoon- Hamato Yoshi becomes him
new cartoon- pet rat
original comics- pet rat names Mr. Jiggles, then renamed Splinter by the TMNT after the mutation

aww but he's soooo cute. I love the part where Tang Shen tickles him and she's like 'oh, he's so adorable Hamato. I'll call him Mr. Jiggles. I could swear the rat sorta frowned upon hearing that one.

*Deathknight* · 03-29-2004, 09:35 AM
