I like how it’s Michaelangelo who’s the ronin, Splinter said that he had the most talent of the 4 - greater than all 3 combined. He just always preferred goofing off.

Well I guess you can make anything up for a narrative. I never saw this potential in Michaelangelo. After he was the last one to survive, I can see why he would change in such a way. Good story regardless.

They need to make this into a movie or a series

[@markrogers6601]

There's a game being made; "God of War" style... But you are, right. It would make a great follow up to the original live action movie.... You could even save money and get the original actors since they've aged accordingly and wouldn't be expensive since they aren't A-list. Plus the actor who played Casey Jones is fairly well known...

Last Ronin is one of the greatest comic series ever. When you mention last Ronin, it's up there with flashpoint, darkest night, emerald twilight, infinity war and kingdom come. I didn't care for the turtles until The Last Ronin came out. Amazing

so sad for you to say that about the rest of the turtles, im always gonna til this day be a childhood fan of the turtles, i grew up watching and for you to say such a thing like "i didnt care for the "Turtles" til the last Ronin came out" kinda hurt me inside my childhood spot but i see where you're coming from, at least i know im not the only one that is a hardcore fan of the Turtle brother's

[@juniorlopez4068]

Same brother same

[@brandonb404]

As someone who grew up watching this the tutrtles cartoons back in the eighties it really hit hard seeing them down and out like this. I can relate having heartaches and troubles over these years.

[@EnlightenedBitFox]

I am 33 years old and about to cry. I grow up with the tmnt movie from 1990 (which is still the best all them all) and later with the animated series 1987-1996. To see what happened to Michelangelo broke my heart. I was always the Raphael type of guy but loved the goofy way Michelangelo takes nothing seriously.

[@JalomMatia]

you were literally still sucking on a teat during TMNT mania. glad you still loved it though.

Only entertaining thing that ever made me cry and feel hurt was randomly rewatching 1990 turtles and Mikey was crying about splinter (My dad was living dead with a stroke getting tube feed) and when he told Danny all good fathers take care of they son's..... I never thought at 5 yrs old I be crying over that movie 28yrs later

[@wildcat8598]

Being born in the early 80’s I’ve loved TMNT since I was a small child. Everything from the cartoons to the darker origins in the comics. I knew of this but never read them and I think your breakdown was awesome man thanks for that. Mikey was always my favorite turtle growing up. Even had a pet turtle that I named after him as a kid. Was cool to see him as the last and the one to make it all right in the end and especially seeing him finally at peace. This series was freaking great and glad the OG creators got their hands back on their creation👍

[@user-lm8ft3oi6t]

Meee too

[@TheKingchance23]

Hurts my heart to hear how they each died but the ending/wrap up was masterful

[@MikeFonz_]

Such an incredible story, the hardcover they released for it is worth every penny. Also between the incredible figures neca did, and the video game coming, we’re eating good

[@uselesslysexy]

I really want to be excited for the game but it’s made buy the developers that did the Darksiders series. The first one was ok but I couldn’t really get in to the second let alone the 3rd. This series needs the quality of Rock Steady Batman Arkham. But maaaaaaaybe that’s where they will take it.

[@ES2X1]

@@uselesslysexy Just a little off here - THQNordic are publishers, not developers. Black Forest Games are the developers, which is really less credible than the different teams that worked on the Darksiders series, so...we'll just have to see how that goes. Personally love the Darksiders series, but I know it's not for everyone (especially since they're known for having different types of gameplay every entry)

man i can’t believe i actually started tearing up towards the end there, im not even that big of a turtles fan, mainly just watched the 2012 series (which i adored) but goddamn this is a good comic

[@FIGHTER8max]

I want this comic so bad. Michaelangelo has always been my favorite turtle and listening to you tell this story just brings tears to my eyes.

[@benm5970]

At first I didn’t know how I would feel about it but ultimately I did really love how they made The Last Ronin Michelangelo, the obvious pick for most people would’ve been Leonardo because not only is he the leader but he’s the most responsible of the group, but having the goofball of the group now become this really hard edged brooding badass was a really cool contrast

[@CC-sb7hv]

Most obvious would've been Raphael, not Leo. Not even a question about that

Do you guys even realize how much untapped potential is here?... Do you realize how many banger videos you can do narrating literally every series in comics? I'm not sure you realize how good you guys are at it... It would also give you enough content to last a lifetime...you guys are awesome you should consider this lol

[@jobengames]

Just bought the full book on a whim - absolutely blown away. It rekindled my love of comics.

[@ericbuckner3806]

It's cool that casey Marie is a mutant. I think this is the first time that there's a mutant looking human in TMNT with no relation to the X-men

[@bensakschek615]

They should make this into a movie. It would be the TMNT universe's answer to Logan.

[@necromancer0616]

I also watched the Turtles as a kid and this story was AMAZING! It brought a happy tear to my eye!

[@PhysGraffiti]

I disagree with the final assessment that Casey Marie will be the next April to the turtles she is raising, I believe she will be their Splinter!

[@EdwardiusMcAndriez]

Damn. When the evil Foot Clan attacked, they didn't cut those turtle boys no slack.

[@laguy8181]

When I read this, I wanted it to be Raph as he was always my favorite. But it hit harder to see Mikey so dark when he was always the jokester. It was bittersweet too as Mikey was the first turtle that was created by Eastman and Laird.

[@jeremy144713]

Thankful you put this together. Loved this long format review

[@musicislyfe911]

I just finished reading it. I loved it, can’t wait for the game.

[@philliphawkins3062]

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a story recap this much. Great video!!

[@NerdMania2000]

I think the ending is very fitting for this type of story. I am curious to see the future turtles in this timeline but if not I’m satisfied with the ending.

[@Honeygirlhaylee]

Omg check out The Last Ronin - The Lost Years!!! It shows the next generation of turtles quite a bit older, but not quite as teenagers. It’s very cute, and the comics involve many like “behind the scene” parts of Mikey’s travels.

[@Knightboomer_559]

Im going to need therapy after watching this, the inner child in me is deeply traumatized. This was a deep story!!!

[@antioneatkins7724]

The series is fantastic, as each turtle has proven exceptional. Leo was always considered the best due to his leadership and being the oldest, Raph for his strength, Donnie for his intelligence, and Mikey for his speed. However, Mikey is probably the most underrated due to his laid-back personality. Each of the other turtles taught him throughout their history of fighting and caring for themselves. Therefore, he would be the perfect choice to be the last turtle to survive. Although it may seem messed up, it is still the best thing that could have been done for the series. I grew up watching Ninja Turtles, and it was then that I developed a love for martial arts. I would love to see a live-action adaptation of the story.

[@nathanielstevens382]

It's sad that Jim Henson is no longer with us

[@xCivikx]

This was perfect. Mikey was always my favorite turtle since i was a kid. I always felt like he was more than just jokes, but that he chose to be the brother to try and ease the stress that the other brothers felt in a lot of the situations that they all had to deal with

[@vngelsinr]

Thank you so much for this ! even thou its all explanied it just makes me want to go by all of the issues even more!

[@mattb1675]

Perfect absolutely perfect

This Story was Fire 🔥 & I Can't Wait for the Video Game Adaptation 😎💪🏾

[@mcoleman3547]

No lie, the creator chose the right turtle as the Ronin

[@JalomMatia]

it's random, any one of the turtles could have been the Ronin, but the least likely would be Raphael, as he is too aggressive, which is very important for the group, but puts himself at most risk; Leo as well as the leader. so it makes most sense for Michalangelo or Donatello, but most fans like Mikey, so makes sense.

[@MarioSonicDKPokeFAN]

Wow. I heard about the series but wasn't too keen on buying the comics. Thanks for doing this man. Really appreciate it

[@Marx1684]

I love this comic series because it’s not who I WANTED to carry on the TMNT mantle. I was a Leonardo or Raphael fan but Mikey was explained in a way that just made so much sense.

[@rhasaunwilliams3795]

As a kid I lived and breathed this story line. The only thing I’m disappointed in is the fact it had to end. This was an epic story.

[@Krakmak]

If you think about it, mikey is the only turtle that would make sense to be the last ronin. He's the only one that could be told to leave the fight since they always babied him, the others would feel too much responsibility for him / he would be the one to be tasked with getting people to safey(exactly what happens). Amazing comic series

when Mikey tlks to Casey . Truly loved it. Poor mikey

[@frontrunners4391]

Amazing man! This has to be a series or movie. Somehow, someway.

[@jordanwalker1988]

Honestly, Michaelangelo was always my favorite of the team, so to see him at a badass like this is more awesome than I can form words for. If I had to nitpick one thing you had said about the Ronin’s identity, though, I would’ve put easiest money on that being Leonardo at first guess, given the leadership skills and determination. Raphael would actually have been my second guess.

[@prprince11]

I really enjoyed this. Mikey being revealed as the last Ronin is the best choice, bc its the least obvious! The storyline was just great. Getting to see how Leo, Raph & Donnie died along with Casey Jones & Splinter really added to this story. Very happy with it!
