re: After Leonardo, which Ninja Turtle was the best fighter?

Raph trounced Jones until Raph lost his temper.

that's my entire point though

ralph always had this threat hanging over his head

No one is denying that Raph's hot-headedness could cost him a fight. What we are saying is that on pure fighting skill, Raph was unmatched.

but i'm saying it's all taken into account

Fair enough. Keep in mind however, that In the original comic books, Raphael eventually learned how to control his emotions and became a great master.

You ballsy frickers disrespecting Don in this thread are taking your lives into your own hands

if you look at the seven samurai
it is obvious
leonardo was the influence for the character Kambei Shimada=The leader of the group and the first "recruited" by the villagers, he is a wise but war-weary soldier.

michalangelo=Heihachi Hayashida=An amiable though less-skilled fighter. His charm and wit maintain his comrades' good cheer in the face of adversity.

raphael=Kikuchiyo= The last member of the group. A would-be samurai who eventually proves his worth. He is mercurial and temperamental.

donatello= Kyûzô= He initially declined an offer by Kambei to join the group, though he later changes his mind. A serious, stone-faced samurai and a supremely skilled swordsman; Katsushirô is in awe of him.

heck Kyûzô is japananese for donatello



man this thread got me so pumped i made a costume last night

If we take the execrepts from the non-existent "After the Bomb" series as canon (made for the role playing game) - which Eastman and Laird have indicated ARE part of the canon - then Raphael becomes a wise old master, and maybe the only turtle to live to see old age, albeit in a post apocalyptic nightmare world.

Seriously when did Donatello start garnishing so much respect?

No shite...

Raphael was the best no question. Donatello had the best weapon but was the slowest and he was a pussy.

BOOM

The brains of an operation cannot be the muscle, its a simple fact.

It doesn't take muscle to beat the hell out of a trapped squirrel

debatable

is said squirrel infected with any diseases, did someone just run over his mother and he is filled with pure rage?

I used to listen to this all the time on my TMNT tape. I have the soundtrack on my ipod now
