Oroku Saki

[UGHShellshocked]

I could see this happening.

The guy in the shadows look like a guy you would commit seppuku for

[AlZarkovski]

I think we all make mistakes. This mysterious man in the shadows - the average foot soldier. Shredder says, he gave them a better armor. That's it.

[Tora]

I wanna know if...

Saki lived in ancient Japan and was resurrected ala The Mummy by Sachs or if Saki is of present time and Sachs changed his name to sound like "Saki" because he is the soon to be heir to the Foot Clan.

Nah, that's definitely not him.

I'm going with Saki is Karai's real father perhaps.

I think it's Saki. YOUR armor.

nahhh Id have to strongly disagree

[MastahShredder]

I'm thinking Eric Sach's is Shredder's mouthpiece in the streets. He is the suit that pushes what Shredder wants done throughout the city. Paying off politicians, policemen, etc. Shredder hides in the shadows, giving orders, making sure whatever operation he has going is being run smooth by Sach's. Sach's is the face of Shredder throughout the city. At the same time, he plays both sides of the coin. By making it look like his company is promoting healthy ideals and projects throughout the city while in the background, something far more sinister is going on.

I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense and sounds very plausible.

[MastahShredder]

And remember the little bits about how Sach's is a nice man, etc?

Perhaps he gets caught up in this mess and eventually turns into an ally of the Turtles and April? I don't know, I am just spitballing.

I just think they gave us Oroku Saki because many and many people were not feeling the direction they may have originally had with how Shredder was portrayed.

I think Saki is the dark to Eric Sach's light.

Wow...really? I liked Dacascos as THE CROW. It wasn't the greatest show, but he was a likeable actor. He's done a bunch of b-movies and is probably best known for THE CROW and BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

He will make a cool Shredder!!

[NinjaPug]

I still think Sachs is Shredder in this movie. Why give him an Americanized version of the Oroku Saki name in the first place?

Honestly, I think this was just a red herring to try and appease fans that aren't happy with a white Shredder.

Was thinking that he looked like Mark Dacascos. I'm definitely ok with him as Oroko Saki. He was also Kung Lao in the MK Legacy season 2 if anyone wants to see some recent work.

Hopefully what we're thinking is true and he is Oroko.

[Ghostcat]

I usually only post on reddit but nobody is listening there and ive been calling it for months that Sachs is just a kagemusha/Voice for the real shredder.Its been well covered up but "leaks" from last year such as Lego leaking karai and a summery from some marketing expo has said oroku saki is in this all along.

Yeah I called that already.

Heck Ive been sticking to this for ages as the person who revealed the original poster of the four turtles said this in the post before, Just the whole HURR DURR SHREK crap happend and nobody pasted/Talked about the text that came along with the image.

Also I still hope this ends up being true as it is only subtext and backstory to the events of the film:


Oruko Saki is the Shredder, leader of the Foot Clan, an ancient order of ninjas. His rival, Hamato Yoshi, objects to Saki turning the Foot Clan into a criminal organization in the Tokyo underworld.
Saki has mastered an ancient martial technique that makes him virtually unbeatable, but Yoshi successfully creates a counter-technique that could defeat him. In anger, Saki killed Yoshi, but Yoshi's pet rat, Splinter, who had learned Ninjutsu from observing Yoshi's training, manages to escape and flee to New York City.
Saki's adoptive son, an American orphan named Eric Sachs, replaces him as The Shredder and travels to New York City, where he militarizes the Foot Clan. Alongside his loyal protege, Karai, Sachs aspires to expand the Foot Clan's control across the globe.
In the sewers beneath New York City, Splinter and four turtles come into contact with Ooze, a mutagen developed by Dr. Baxter Stockman. They become sentient and humanoid, and Splinter takes the turtles under his wing, naming them Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, and teaching them the secrets of Ninjutsu, including Yoshi's fabled technique.
As the Turtles begin sabotaging the Foot Clan's expansion efforts, their paths cross with April O'Neil, a young and ambitious reporter from a newspaper owned by Bernadette Thompson, who believes breaking the story on the secrets of the elusive Foot Clan will launch her career. April is tagged for assassination by the Foot Clan for her meddling, and ends up being rescued by the Turtles. One of Raphael's sais is left behind, and April manages to trace it to the Turtles. They then form an alliance to stop the Shredder before he takes over New York's crime families, all while the Shredder, learning of the Turtles' existence and, particularly, of the survival of Splinter and Yoshi's technique, sends hordes of Foot assassins led by Karai to slay the Turtles



Nobody listened to this when he posted the first picture people saw of the turtles,which was then posted around 4chan and then here without it.

Darthwahl posted this in the Official Images thread:



Does anyone know anything more about this? Where it came from, whether it's legit or not?

EDIT: Ghostcat just beat me to it!

THat is exactly why

Morethan likely, Sachs is a Kagemusha for Saki, acting as The Shredder, he will don on the Shredder armor and will be more than likely killed at the end of the first movie. Then Saki will appear in the sequel as the real shredder and fight the turtles


I see something like

movie 2

Leonardo has been thrown through a window
"The shredder, he is back!"
The turtles fight foot clans
Mecha-Shredder appears
"No! We saw Sachs die!"
The three turtles strikes at shredder, but he just stands there tanking them
suddenly sounds of mechanisms ring through the air
explosion
chunks of the shredder suit flies everywhere causing the turtles to be blown back
the dust settles in as they see a much smaller figure
"Now you must face the one true shredder"

Spoiler:
