Are the weapons in Rise a reference the “The Passing” (Mirage #9)

Can’t believe I never made this connection.

Not an odachi, but in #9 Leo wields a single katana.

Raph’s tonfas, obviously.

Not the same weapon for Mike, but the manriki-gusari and the kusari-fundo are very similar.

Donnie’s tech-bo is out there, but it is short like a jo-staff in its basic setting.
