But what if the Foot does nearly kill Leo in the new Micro coming out?? That to me would be enough to at the very least get the intensity of the conflict started between Hamato Clan and the Foot.

It could be a springing board to start a war.

Wouldn't his ancestors also be long-dead?

Not if every generation continued to have children. I mean at this point if each family was large enough the entire Foot Clan could actually be Saki's descendants at this point.

But why would the Foot attempt to kill Leo in the first place? Even if they somehow discovered they are reincarnations of Yoshi and his sons (to which we would definitely need an explanation), it's the same question of why would the descendants or successors of Saki be so determined to kill their predecessor's enemy, especially one who is currently on a "path of peace"?

I think he meant descendants.

That's... still not how ancestry works.... o.O

This seems more likely.

I think we'll be getting our answers before long, probably before the end of the third arc. I asked Bobby on the IDW boards if Santoluoco would be doing anymore flashback pages and his answer was "Hmmm. Wouldn't that be lovely? Hmmm.".

Heck it could be something as simple as Leo is in the wrong place at the wrong time without us really knowing what is in store for us in the comic. Some odd cosmic kind of fate that Leo happen to stumble into the middle of some Foot operation or after the battle they witnessed with the French Martial Artist a few comics ago maybe he follows some Foot and ends up in over his head.

Don't know but I can hazard a guess that the Foot as an organization would be interested in giant mutated Turtles, especially if Leo does end up in combat with them and they see his prowess as a fighter. Saki/ Shredder whoever may not even realize they are the re-incarnation of his old enemy until later??

I don't know I am just throwing out possibilities.

I'm sorry I was simply bypassing the word misuse and just looking at it as Saki's descendants. I see I caused more confusion by doing so, my bad

Ok...so bad wording...

Yes, I meant descendants.
