Is Karai redeemable? - Page 2

Karai is defiantly redeemable. Unlike Shredder, Dogpound, and Fishface, she doesn't appear to be totally evil.

Totally. She's like an anti-hero of sorts, or may become more of one later on.

Okay so we've had Karai attack Splinter and he runs way from her in what she believes is cowardice.

Next she tried to kidnap the Turtles so she can use them to bait out Splinter. I believe it was implied that she wanted him to watch as the Foot bots fought, over powered, and killed his sons one by one.

When that plan doesn't work, she decided to attack April O'Neil because if the Turtles lost someone precious to them they would fall apart from within.

I don't see this as her next plan of attack, but an eventual plan of attack will be destroying the Turtles Lair and exposing them the human populous of the city.

It definitely seems that Karai isn't finished with the turtles by a long shot. I'm pretty curious what she'll be planning next. She starts to remind me more and more of 2k3 Karai in season 4, as she's losing herself to her own hatred and anger. Even her fighting skills seem to suffer from it.

Karai is still redeemable though. A forum member here once pointed out that Karai not being physically present among the bad guys (only as a reflection) could be a sign she's not a lost case like most of the others are.

But at this point Karai needs to find out on her own who Shredder really is and how he has lied to her. If Leo is there for her at that moment there's a good chance she finally wants to leave the Foot clan and accept his help. But like others have already said, it doesn't necessarily mean she'll join the turtles as part of their family afterwards.

I don't know, it just really seems like something for Leo not only to take on his master's burden, but eventually that of Karai as well. In a way he's already doing that by telling Karai her vendetta should only be directed at him.

I'm kinda hoping for an (emotional) showdown between Leo and Karai one day where Leo will allow Karai to vent all her anger and frustration at him, almost as a kind of "punching bag", ending with Karai finally breaking down in the end.

She just seems to have a huge amount of anger and frustration bottled up inside of her.

Lets see if she blows up the lair, she could go through the wreckage to find some proof that Splinter and the Turtles are dead and comes across a certain photo of herself as a baby. And the man with her mother would most certainly not be the man she knows as her father. That could lead her to question how her mother actually died.
