I think they see each other on equal terms. Certainly on more equal terms than any of the turtles compared to Master Splinter. There's a FF episode that proves just how highly Silver Sentry thinks of Michelangelo. "Clash of the Turtle Titans".

*Scandia* · 05-26-2007, 10:10 AM

And now I will nominate somebody new as the best friend of Michelangelo: Klunk!

*Scandia* · 06-20-2007, 06:58 PM

I am pondering if Splinter's best friend would be Hamato Yoshi himself. At least in the universes where this would be possible. And Hamato Yoshi's best friend would have been the Ancient One or Tang Shen.

*triplexxx* · 06-20-2007, 07:08 PM

In NT, Ancient One was more of a father and Tang Shen more of a lover, I personally wouldn't really fit that into the category of "friendship", not that I consider the categories of "father" and "lover" to be any less than "friendship". His best friend was Yukio Mashimi, up until the betrayal where he killed him for killing Tang Shen, before he himself was killed...makes me feel really sorry for the Ancient One, having lost his entire family just like that, after that I guess Yoshi could've been considered Splinter's best friend until he was killed. I think Splinter's real best friend now is the Ancient One.

*Scandia* · 06-20-2007, 07:13 PM

So in the NT it was not Oroku Nagi who killed Tang Shen then?

Anyhow, I am discussing things overall, not specifically to a given universe.

I just wanted to know if it was an unbroken chain of the student considering his sensei as his best friend- Yoshi considering the Ancient One, Splinter considering Yoshi, and Leonardo considering Splinter.

*triplexxx* · 06-20-2007, 07:20 PM

Well like I said, I personally think it's more familial than friendly, between Yoshi and the Ancient One, and between Splinter and the TMNT. As for between Splinter and Yoshi, that's probably the only exception, 'cause a human and a pet rat, that's not really a father-son type of thing.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 06-22-2007, 06:31 PM

1987 TMNT cartoon:

*Bebop and Rocksteady
*April O'Neil and Irma
*Donatello and Leonardo
*Michelangelo and Raphael

1984 Mirage comics and 2003 TMNT cartoon:
*Raphael and Casey Jones

ah, her name was Oyuki Mamishi. She was also sorta like Mikey's best friend in the Archie comics, and Mikey was also on good terms with Cudley the Cowlick.

*Revan* · 06-26-2007, 08:22 PM

2k3
Leo - Usagi
Don - Honeycutt and April
Mike - Klunk and Raph
Raph - Casey and Mike
Splinter - Yoshi and the Daimyo

*Scandia* · 06-27-2007, 05:29 AM

Being the hairsplitter I am, now I will further ask:

- PEER each Turtle (or main character) is closest to.

- OVERALL character each Turtle (or main character) is closest to.

By peer I mean someone around your status, if not age. Someone not in a position of authority or power over you- nor who is your subordinate. Someone who is your equal.

Overall can mean anyone.

*Sage Ninja* · 06-28-2007, 11:02 AM

to answer Scandia's question about what characters have an equal friendship with other characters (other than the turtles themselves:

Leonardo: Usagi

Donatello: April

Raphael: Casey

I don't think Mikey really has a friend that is his peer and isn't over or under him in status or age out side his family. I would say Silver Sentry but I still stand by my assumption that in their relationship isn't exactly equal because its more of a idealism hero worship (looking up to) sort of thing with Mikey and Silver Sentry.

But if I where to go with the turtles with each I'd say:

Leo: Raphael (or Dontello)

Raphael: Leo (or Mikey)

Dontello: I guess Mikey

Mikey: Raphael (or Dontello)

the only thing is that I guess Raphael and Michaelangelo are "best buddies" but Mikey's status is sort of "baby brother" with all three of them, which doesn't put him at exactly equal footing with them since there is that protectiveness present.

I would say that the female Neutrino (name escapes me I think it ends in '-ala') could be Mikey's best friend from the OT. They didn't get many episodes but he had a crush on her and carried her picture around.

Kala was mike's love interest.

Oh how cute.
Mona Lisa was Raph's
Some could say April was Don's
Not sure about Leo

Karai-I mean Lotus Blossom

Yeah I suppose that sounds about right. It seemed a bit less obvious that Leo was interested in her than Mike's interest in Kala or Raph and Dons.

MoreCowbell5263 · 06-28-2007, 01:29 PM

That makes me feel bad, because at times, it seemed Irma was interested in Don, but Don seemed interested in April. Story of Irma's life...

*Scandia* · 06-28-2007, 05:55 PM

Irma was interested in anything with a Y chromosome.

Donnie has eyes only for April.

Mondo Gecko would probably be Mikey's closest peer to be honest. Curiously, he's present in the universes where Klunk is absent, and vice versa (except the movies- and Donnie is his best friend in them). So Mikey is truly never a loner.

I was refereing the 2k3 series characters when I made my listing. In the Old toon Michaelangelo's best buddy that he was a peer with was Mondo Geko; So yeah he is not a loner in that universe.

I was just refereing to the fact that out side his family Mikey don't have a best buddy that is on equal terms like Leo, DOn, and Raph do.
