Kinda funny Usaugi in 2003 at the voice as Sonic The Hedgehog 😂.

[@mastersplinter8072]

Nickelodeon needs to make a Usagi Yojimbo series......there are so many great stories they could cover. Fun, historical and entertaining...and think of the toy line...win win.

[@autobotproductions1244]

agreed. heck, the three parter in the 2012 series could easily serve as a backdoor pilot

[@krraika1847]

Man, hearing about the 03 TMNT was a nice trip down memory lane. It's still my favorite TMNT series, and I clearly remember seeing the Usagi episodes as a kid.

[@Quorthon.]

The samurai jack before samurai jack

[@Badasspredator]

4:11 best part of the entire review. Never heard anyone use G-Man's roar in such epic way in a video🤣🦖

[@saint5652]

THIS IS THE BEST USAGI YOJIMBO YET, HANDS DOWN

[@saint5652]

YEAH , I EVEN FIND OUT THE WRITER FOR HIS COMIC WRITES THIS EPS

[@Mr_Movie_Fan]

Saint FOR REAL!?!?!?

[@peachesphillips1323]

Usagi got a cameo in the last episode of TMNT 2003 season 7

[@6t76t]

Speaking of Space Usagi, I remember an info where there was going to be another season of TMNT Fast Foward, and Space Usagi was going to appear in there as Usagi’s descendant. That never came, probably because 4kids decided one season was good enough.

[@omegacomics3548]

Im actually gunna meet stan sakai at a show thank u for the vid now i wont call usagi by .... THAT NAME! Great video man

[@frankrwalsh]

I want a Usagi Yojimbo action figure.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

"You sucky your Jimbo?!"

[@lightyearpig12]

If Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn’t get treated so poorly by Nick, there definitely could’ve been an Usagi appearance at some point.

[@jackal4890]

oh shiit yes finally! usagi

[@CrystalHedgehog1]

Hey, can I say the 2012 TMNT episode arc for Usagi was so much darker than the others were? Tone wise

[@RaindropsBleeding]

OOOOOOOOh it makes sense now. I remember this arc. I always wondered why I never saw Usagi again. Though admittedly I thought it was just Sagi back then.

[@KayelaProjects]

Nice animaniacs reference there with raph:). Also it’s nice to see people talk about this awesome rabbit

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

There should be a Usagi Yojimbo animated series, even if it's on Adult Swim. Also it would be awesome if Myamato Usagi is a playable character in TMNT: Shredder's Revenge

[@patrik9328]

Im a big fan a Usagi and Tmnt

[@Seetv]

This was a great lesson of TMNT history. Thank you.

[@crcoghill]

Your timing is impeccable. I just started not that long ago.

[@FictionAddiction]

Hope you're having fun with it! It's good stuff.

[@Elfos64]

Usagi and Genosuke also got a cameo in the series finale at Casey and April's wedding. Anyway, Usagi's 2003 series appearances are easily my favorite to date, and I'm going to be extremely disappointed if he doesn't appear in the new series, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I heard a rumor that Space Usagi was going to guest star in the space-faring Honeycut arc of the 2012 series, but for some reason it fell through, but at least we still got that 3-parter.

[@jameswhite153]

I had no idea that miyamoto usagi was a character from a series outside TMNT. he was my favourite character from the 2003 series I grew up with.

[@TeraZilla5]

Dat Godzilla roar at 4:13 though! I totally lost it! XD

[@theluckiesteh9058]

I'm really surprised they got him in the 2010's series!

[@dylanbeebe4403]

2012 series

[@theluckiesteh9058]

Dylan Beebe Exactly'

[@grangisjefe2564]

I love sakais backgrounds simple yet stunning

[@wiibrockster]

I am The only person who Likes Donatello???? Everyone I know likes Leo,Raph and Mikey...

[@Kiiriminna]

I like Donatello!

[@dejiadeleye5697]

14:26 Never noticed that anime spit effect

[@velmasparksmayall6496]

2003 Usagi I think is probably the best adaptation.

[@brendonwelsh-mccarthy9186]

Am I the only one that thinks Lord Noriyuki looked a little stoned in a few shots from the 2003 Turtles? I assume he was meant to look worried or sad but still

[@lexensterenberg]

Now I feel kind of guilty for loving Bucky Ohare as a kid :S

[@FictionAddiction]

Nawe man, any cartoon that uses phrases like "righteous indignation" in its lyrics deserves some love.

[@wiibrockster]

I absolutely Love Usagi! From his Comics to his Guest Appearances in TMNT and I also Absolutely Love TMNT too! I can actually Look past them getting His Name Wrong as Usagi Yojimbo instead of Miyamoto Usagi

[@MichaelAarons1701]

Didn’t Usagi also attend April and Casey’s wedding?

[@fynnthefox9078]

No wonder why they wanted the dragon to hatch, it's Shenron from Dragon Ball Z! Shredder just wanted to have his wish for world domination granted!

[@gracefutrell1912]

Did you hear Usagi is going to get his own animated series soon !

[@FictionAddiction]

Grace Futrell I did! Very excited about it.

[@gracefutrell1912]

Fiction Addiction good!

[@bluubandette8871]

If only they add Usagi into the movie ... That way we get a tmnt 3!^^

[@chasformer3091]

A lot of people give Jason Griffith shit as Sonic, but I thought he was good as Usagi. He's not a bad actor, get just gets bad directions.

[@autobotproductions1244]

Honestly he’s my favorite Sonic actor

[@bluubandette8871]

15:55 Rflol I'd make that "Wut Meme" face if I stood right next to Usagi and heard wut he said I'm Team Ninja all the way!! Lmao

[@frankrwalsh]

Usagi was way better than Bucky O'Hare..

[@Seetv]

You forgot to mention that April pretends to be a reporter in yellow but besides that I think those are the only 87 cartoon references.

[@raven5theday141]

Hey Esh if ur up for it, it'd b cool if u did a life update video and just gave us an update what's going on with u in life right now

[@rodster6campingprepper]

The 2012 episodes with him in were great but I prefer the 2003 version. Shame Gen wasn't brought back for the 2012 show too.

[@videogamenetwork6728]

Where did you get the clip of that old saying "fucking you" from? I wanna watch that.

[@FictionAddiction]

That's Martin Landau playing Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood" from 1994, directed by Tim Burton. It's a good one, and quite the celebration of one of the oddest ducks in film history. Enjoy.

[@mauromesa78]

fiction addiction you forgot of the last episode of the tmnt 2003 series were usagi truly last appear was on the last season of the 2003 sesries season 7 back to the sewer wedding bells and byles

[@FictionAddiction]

I did, but that's largely due to it being little more than a background cameo. I also kinda try to push Back to the Sewers out of my mind, heh.

[@mauromesa78]

rely ?

[@jackofallclaws6672]

To be fair, Ninjitsu kinda originated from China... so, yeah; the joke actually makes sense

[@JYoungbloodVO]

Where is the clip in 3:07 from?

[@FictionAddiction]

"Ed Wood", the 1994 film by Tim Burton. That clip is Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi throwing a fit.
