Didn't hear of Karai until the TMNT Tournament Fighters games came out back in the day and she definitely had that SNK boss syndrome to her. Regardless, she was an interesting addition to the franchise.
If you played the 1993 TMNT tournament fighters game. Karai is the final boss of that game. That was my first exposure to her and got me more interested in the comic books.
Also, Karai killed Raph permanently by a blade to the head via a tragic showdown recently in "The Last Ronin" 🙏. RIP Big Red👊⛩️ Truly amazing read and badass !! As a fan , highly recommend.
Getting a lot of these videos recently, reminds me of when I used to watch the 2012 series and read the IDW comics. I never thought TMNT had such thick, complex lore until I've seen the aforementioned.
Thank you so much for the Origin! My Twin girls Love TMNT and I feel like I know alot about Karai to talk to my Daughters, you made that happen in our Family ❤
The 2003 version looks like she stole Liu Kang’s haircut and headband yet has the personality of Kitana from Mortal Kombat. I can imagine Karai getting along with the Edenian princess just fine.
2012 karai is my favourite There is no other voice of karai that comes close to Kelly Hu Its perfectly fits her She went emotional turmoil and her relationship with splinter,shredder and Leo is just so well done It really hitted her once she found out that splinter is her father and she really wanted to change and did it What i love about this version of karai is where she was still a villian That she had no empathy or sympathy for the turtles which made her far less predictable than the other versions of karai
Splinter in the Nick cartoon is Hamato Yoshi. Not a reincarnation. They even have reverse mutagen named retromutagen that could have turned him back to his human form, but they had to use it on somebody else. I remember how heartbreaking it was to see Splinter have that hope of being human again. Splinter was actually a reincarnation in the IDW comic.
Karai is one of the only times I like the 2012 series about the same if not a little more then the 2003 series but mix in a tad bit more of the 2003 version into the 2012 one and that would prove the be the best
Could you maybe cover the Comic Series „Once and Future“ ? It’s amazing. It’s like Hellboy and Grimm mixed with the Legend of King Arthur . Bloody, dark, sometimes funny but most of the time badass brutal. For example a huge Barbarian riding on a gigantic fire breathing Lion chasing a Car while rhe protagonists (A guy and his grumpy but badass Grandma) are trying to fight him with MG. And King Arthur as the undead main Antagonist is just bonechilling.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR KARAI IN RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, SHE WAS KILLED BY THE UPGRADED SUPER SHREDDER HIMSELF & LEONARDO IS SO HEARTBROKEN. 💔😢😭
Awesome video. I like your Ninja Turtles videos that have been recently uploaded. And please make a video for 1 of the ninja turtles characters: Bishop :)
Team of Heroes: Leonardo Hamato Raphael Hamato Donatello Hamato Michaelangelo Hamato Master Yoshi "Splinter" Hamato Casey Jones April O'Neil Jones Miyamoto Usagi Yojimbo Karai Osugi
Her origins in Rise of the TMNT is even more strange. She's the ancestor of Hamato Yoshi (Splinter) and she's the founder of the Hamato clan. To make things even more strange, she's also depicted as Oroku Saki's daughter. This in turn makes Splinter a descendant of the Shredder in this iteration. Talk about a mind fuck there...
To be fair tho she does say she let Leo win cause she was afraid. He does later beat her once he isn't brainwashed. If anything the brainwashing made him a worse fighter so tho yes she could have beaten him, he was basicly handicapped.
Dude how can you guys see that version as pretty she is hideous the blonde hair on the back of her head makes it look like she’s wearing a helmet and her black and red eyeshadow is is just gag and I hate that they made her splinters long lost kid cause she has no personality other then getting mad and wanting revenge they should of made splinters long lost kid someone else cause it definitely shouldn’t of Been her!
I may be incorrect bro,but I remember Karai appearing in one episode of the original tmnt show. I think it was in one of the later seasons. I think she actually fight shredder and takes his place for a bit and has a thing for Leonardo. Have not watched that show for years so maybe I am wrong.
Am I the only one who notices this channel keeps merging different versions of the characters they talk about. In the 2012 version she is Yoshi's daughter, who was transformed into a rat. In the IDW version she is Shredder's blood great granddaughter. Please try to keep the continuities separate.
20:37 no she isn't,this video here is the most exposure she's gotten and will be the first time a lot of people will learn about her. Who wrote such bs,she's not even top 50 most iconic characters in toons or comics. We got disney toons,looney toons,hannah barbera,nick toons,cartoon network,simpsons,dbz,naruto,marvel/dc...Most iconic WHAAAT!
Probably make her as rtrdd as shredder in that cartoon that disrespected the source material of the comics. When tmnt fans any that knows tmnt 2003 was faithful to the source material of the comics. Overall
Not according to the Jim Henson made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which the Shredder was revealed to be Oroku Saki, the romantic rival of Splinter's master, Hamato Yoshi
It pisses me off to no end that 2012 Karai is so fucking underrated. She and her B.F.F. Shinigami deserve their very own spinoff show! The fanfiction stories about 2012 Karai are great with her as a main protagonist for once!
@@christopherallen8822 He's no serial rapist, but Jerry Tyson, A.K.A. The Triple Killer or 3XK has some similarities to William Lewis, A.K.A. The Beast from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Getting caught by the N.Y.P.D. on purpose and then slips out of their grasp, all for the thrill. And he proved to be a formidable foe to both Richard Castle and Kate Beckett. Like how William Lewis was with Olivia Benson. Jerry Tyson also has the similar charismatic charm as William Lewis does when it comes to manipulating naive and incompetent women, like the redhead who helped William Lewis escape prison. Though, I believe that Jerry Tyson's girlfriend Dr. Kelly Nienman is way more smarter than that millennial bitch. However, Jerry Tyson is deranged but not as entirely evil as William Lewis was. Despite the neglect and the abuse that she gave him in his childhood, Jerry Tyson still loves his mother. The way he places his blonde female victims after he strangles them to death, it's like they are resting peacefully like how Jerry's mother was placed for her burial when he was a boy.
I don't remember the Nickolodean 2012 Splinter being a reincarnation I thought he was a human who was mutated into a rat like the 1987 Splinter? I think you are confusing the IDW Splinter with the 2012 Splinter
I know right?!? They were such a dynamic duo, i would love to have more backstory of all female characters in general, in the series of 2012 I wanted to see Alopex a little more.
1:30 GAWD DWAMNNNMMM… she can bench me any time.. tryna be on her bad side.. beat my ass.. NO MERCY… I’m an absolute villain and SHES the victim of my ass beating.. she gonna leave the battle field a different person.. insert that meme of Spike from Cowboy bebop “I want a women who will just kill me” 😂
So, more suspension of disbelief, eh? There's no way she could weigh more than 150 lbs. What's the average weight of one of the turtles? The weight of 2 katanas and upper body weight of Leo but she kicking the turtles away like they're made of paper because...martial arts? That's not how gravity and inertia work.
