Stan Sakai Confirms Usagi Will Be In TMNT - Page 5

*PApagreg* · 09-16-2016, 12:00 PM

I just realized both Usagi and Jin from Samurai Champloo have a lot in common, dual swords, similar clothing, ronin, very honorable and basically wanderers

Usagi is based off of the famous Miyamoto Musashi. I imagine Jin is probably also based off of him, like many other samurai characters, which explains the similarities.

This is so awesome to hear that Usagi will be in the show! I have always liked him so I can't wait to see how Nick handles him.

*CyberCubed* · 09-17-2016, 01:27 PM

Please god let's hope we get a Season 6.

*prays to God*

Lord Jebus, please give us a Season 6 and let this be our first confirmation. Please, Jebus!

I think all of Season 5 is completed already.

*ToTheNines* · 09-17-2016, 01:50 PM

No where near completed. They just put the finishing touches on the season 4 finale last month.

I hope he's the one responsible for tiger claw's tail, and carries it on as a trophy.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-17-2016, 04:03 PM

Yeah, that would be cool.

And, Cubed, shouldn't you be praying to yourself since you said you worship yourself and no other gods?

*CyberCubed* · 09-17-2016, 04:34 PM

I don't worship anything, but its a figure of speech. I pray to the multiverse.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-18-2016, 07:54 AM

Um, okay. Whatever.

*miru* · 09-18-2016, 07:59 PM

He's back! I can't believe it!

*wpugh2424* · 09-19-2016, 08:18 PM

Please do usagi justice and have him be a more mature character for us

*Powder* · 09-19-2016, 08:26 PM

I don't think we'll have anything to worry about. I'm just still hoping they got Brian Tochi to play him.

I hope so too, I don't think its possible to mess up Usagi, even if it's Nickelodeon, let's hope for the best.

Fred Wolf version of Usagi was good.

*Powder* · 09-19-2016, 10:20 PM

You might like him, but he proves you definitely can mess him up. I'd tell you to read some of the comics & see for yourself, but...

If your expecting a serious take on Usagi on Nickelodeon, I really doubt it will be as serious as the 4Kids version, He'll probably be a cross between the Fred Wolf and 4Kids take, but not overly serious.

*Powder* · 09-19-2016, 10:25 PM

It's you're, Tigerclaw. As in "you are" old enough to be my dad & should know the difference by now.

I think Nick's creative team knows better than to disrespect Stan & his character's legacy by making him goofy. I do in fact expect him to be a somewhat serious take in the vein of 4kids (which, mind you, was not that intense & still had him making some light-hearted comments), because to do otherwise would be a serious foul. They can fit humor in without it being a slight against him. It took a lotta years to coax Stan into letting them use the character, so I doubt they'd do anything to mess that relationship up.

*snake* · 09-19-2016, 10:49 PM

I'm trusting the writers for a semi serious Usagi as well. They've proved they can do serious characters like Slash or Shredder.

*wpugh2424* · 09-19-2016, 10:59 PM

Wonder how creative will write him into the nick series. As in how will he appear in the turtles world or vice versa
Oh .. And when ? !
