Master Splinter is always right. (Mirage comics)

[odupianist]

He did indeed train the boys to kill Saki out of vengence and nothing else really honorable like he's been made to be in other mediums.

My thought process is if he trained them to kill Saki, what was his planned for these trained ninjas after that was done? Just sit around and get fat? Why spend all that time training these ninja for one small task. Granted, it didn't turn out to be a small task, but still.

Splinter raised the turtles to act justly and honorably

He succeeded in that. Cause if you really want to break it down, Leo just shoved a sword in him. They gave him the option to commit seppuku (sp?). Don threw the bo staff at Saki in self defense. I mean who really wants to be blown up by a termite grenade. Not me, but I could be in the minority
