Shredder sends hordes of Foot Clan ninjas to steal the last remaining sample of the Ooze so he can mutate animals of his own. Ionizing radiation is a popular method of Mutation Induction used on seeds to manipulate their genes and create mutations.
This is called mutation breeding. THE IAEA says over 3, mutant crops, trees, and ornamental plants across plant species are commercially available today. Mutation breeding leaves no radiation in the plants and can be used to improve crop yield, taste, and size.
Mutation breeding can even make plants more resistant to disease and weather. We get a glimpse into what the turtles must have gone through as a wolf and snapping turtle mutate into Tokka and Rahzar, eight foot tall feral beasts the brains of infants.
Shredder recoils at the monster babies but his captive scientist points out that the experiment was a success. Tokka and Rahzar are bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than before their mutations. The Ooze was created by accident. An unknown mixture of discarded materials were accidentally exposed to deadly radiation.
Which is why I was glad they went back to "Splinter was Yoshi" in the new Nick series. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Disclaimer: These are personal musings and none of it is official. As you said, there are two origin stories for Splinter: Splinter was Hamato Yoshi's pet rat and learned Ninjutsu from him.
Improve this answer. Izkata System Down System Down The original work was so very dark. I am always amazed at their transformation into a televised kiddy cartoon. I am sure Eastman and Laird may have quietly questioned how far their creations had moved from their origins. In the current comics, Hamato Yoshi and his four sons were killed at the hands of Oroku Saki Shredder.
They were then reincarnated as a rat and four turtles, which were mutated to become humanoid. Splinter retained most of his memories whereas the turtles mostly lost their memories of their previous lives. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Even dating back to the earliest comics , Splinter not only was responsible for raising them after they were doused with the ooze that transformed them all, but he trained them in the ways of ninjutsu. Splinter's training is vital for the Turtles, but where did he get his skills?
The answer to that depends on the different medium the Turtles are in , but he's always one of the best martial artists no matter the universe, helping his sons understand that there is always more to learn, and how they can always get better. While in the U. The ooze causes whoever touches it to take on properties of the last thing it touched, which makes the Turtles more like humans, while Yoshi goes on to touch some rats and turn into Hamato Splinter.
In that universe, Saki has Yoshi and his sons who would eventually reincarnate as the Turtles killed due to Yoshi's questioning of his leadership. Rescuing two children that were playing in the house Splinter set fire to the house.
Escaping from the house Splinter could not sense Nagi's spirit and believed it had been released from the house. As they walk away the sprits of Yoshi and Shen are shown to be at peace. In the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon , Yoshi had a much more prominent role in that he became Splinter. His story once gain starts in Japan as a lover of art and member of a noble Foot clan with his rival this time being Oroku Saki who sought lead.
When a master teacher visited the Foot school Saki framed Yoshi of conspiracy to murder the teacher which led to his banishment from the clan. In disgrace Yoshi fled to New York, penniless he lived in Sewers with the rats as his only company until a boy accidentally dropped his pet turtles down the drain.
Yoshi lived peacefully with his turtles and rats until one day he found the turtles covered in some kind of ooze. Cleaning the turtles and getting ooze on himself in the process he discovered that it was a powerful mutagen which caused whoever touched it to take on the form of whatever animal they'd most recently come in contact with. The turtles started to become more human because they'd most recently been with Yoshi, but Yoshi himself started to become a rat-like.
The four young turtles nicknamed the rat Splinter and he in turn named them after his favorite renaissance painters. Knowing that the outside world would not understand them, Splinter trained the turtles in art of Ninjitsu. The turtles themselves vowed to one day track down whoever made the mutagen and force them to make their master human once more. While helping a reporter named April O'Neil uncover the truth behind a wave of ninja robberies the turtles and Splinter discover that it was Oroku Saki who had dropped the mutagen in the sewer tunnels with the intention of destroying him.
Now calling himself the Shredder, he had built the Foot into a high tech army of crime. The Shredder had in his possession a retromutagen ray generator, a device which undoes mutations. Knowing that this was the only device capable of turning Splinter back into Hamato Yoshi the turtles and Splinter were eager to get it. When the Shredder turned the device on the turtles however, Splinter destroyed the device in order to save his young friends.
