I went into reading the Last Ronin thinking it was Leo, can't exactly say why, but I hadn't thought to doubt that assumption. Honestly, I don't think the story would have hit as hard as it did if it had been anyone other than Mickey.
Agreed. The contrast between his humorous and bubbly personality and his overwhelming grief and sadness makes it darker. The writer made the best turtle choice
This is what happens when the goofball hidden badass gets pushed too far. God I love this version of Mikey. And the ending was so sweet! I imagine even Raph was proud of him at the end
Won’t say I’ve always been a huge fan but they were definitely a big part of childhood so to see it end this way is sad but satisfying. Really good story telling but I agree, if they had plans on dragging the story out a bit longer ,their fight would have been an awesome place to reveal which turtle it was. That way during the actual finale we go into it knowing who to cheer on. Small change but impactful
@@Baloo_The_Bear Theoretically, they could've shown a death scene for each turtle. Something equally plausible to have killed them but also that they could have potentially survived, given the right circumstances, which ideally would be revealed alongside which turtle it was.
If you're getting into comics, I could not recommend "Batman: White Knight," more enough. It is such a riveting political drama that doesn't try to spout righteousness at you, it just asks a question. Who is a greater danger to this city: Batman, or the people he fights against? Also, the artwork by Sean Gordon Murphy is stupendous. Easily one of my top 5 artists of the past decade. Easy recommend
@@hueyfreeman.6862 bro, it's not even that serious. He said he was getting into comics, and mentioned Batman: Court of Owls. All I did was recommend him a book in the COMMENT section. It doesn't even effect the video lmao
I don't think the last Ronin is the ending to Mirage's original TMNT, it's more of an elseworlds story. The reason I say this is because Casey and April's daughter was Shadow, and she always hung around Mikey and Raph and is even being taught ninjutsu by them. When we last Shadow in the Mirage comics, she's a college student (and the turtles are in their mid to late 30s). Also Baxter died in the Mirage comics, after becoming complete machine, he was shot by Donatello. As for Hiroto, in the original Mirage comic, Kurai had a daughter, not a son, and she died during the city at war arc. This is still an awesome story, I'd love to see an animated movie for it, and I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out this fall! I also hope we get more stories where Eastman and Laired team up together!
@@redred222 Shadow wasn't adopted, Casey was previously married and the woman he was married to was already pregnant before he met her. Later on his wife died during childbirth (that child being Shadow), and sometime after (I think it was like almost a year later) Casey and April got married. So Shadow is their daughter, they just aren't related by blood.
Interesting details, I read very few comics but I've also checked that in the Mirage future, the lone survivor is Donatello And as far as I know, Karai originally isn't part of Shredder's bloodline
@@juancarlosruizosorio2184 Donatello isn't the main survivor in the future, he's just the one Renette travels to meet in the future. The turtles have a falling out and go their separate ways, except Michaelangelo who is presumed dead. It's more of a "they're all dead to me" thing rather then them all actually being dead. Donatello lives by himself at his lab in a cyberpunk Tokyo as an inventor and is blind after Shadow accidentally slashes his eyes in a fight. Raphael's future keeps changing since he traveled to the future with Rennete and is actively trying to change it's out come. Originally in his future he would succumb to his mental illnesses (he was schizophrenic depressed and suicidal in the early issues, as well as in the flashbacks when he was a preteen), he loses his mind and lives as a hermit in the woods in New York state which is a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland. Now in his future he is homeless living on the outskirts of a cyberpunk Tokyo mourning Mikey who is presumed dead, and is constantly reading Mikey's books over and over again (Mikey was a novel author in the adult years part of the comic). Leonardo in the future is basically a monk now and is no longer a ninja. He gave up killing after his wife (the superhero "Radical", who is like their version of DC's Raven from Teen Titans) is killed by her arch enemy who they thought they killed back when they all were teenagers. Leonardo hunted him down and killed him for good, but afterwards he made a vow that that would be the last time he killed anyone. He got super religious and spiritual and traveled around Asia to formally train to become a monk. Shadow who had a falling out with the turtles after the accident with Donatello became an assassin for hire. This future has changed some though, because events leading up to this never happened due to Raphael trying to change the future. As for Kurai, yeah, in the Mirage comics she was an orphan adopted by the Shredder, and inherited the Foot Clan after his death as his sole heir.
The only shame is Michey died - I'm not gonna lie, why I always felt like they will die together or avenging each other in losing battles I kinda hoped one will remain to be the new Splinter for a new generation. I can understand preferring to close chapter of the original TMNT and making new sensei somebody else, but I always kinda liked the samurai movies where the protagonist doesn't go out in a blaze of glory but actually survives to lead a life of honor.
It's to put Mikey in peace. He has finally avenged his Father, Friend and brothers. He did what he set himself up to do. No point in keeping him alive. Plus he's with his family in heaven or something so..and I think Casey Marie is gonna be something akin to the Splinter, if the last page is anything to go by.
@@aughaughinson8600actually soul and spirit are not totally the same thing Because there is a difference that difference is that our soul is our mind not ourselves but our spirit is ourselves and our conscience is our senses not ourselves
So....this video was just on my recommended page...I watched the first 10 seconds figured it would be a 15 minute animation. The mental confusion I had for a minute after the animation stopped. Then continued watching, got an explanation (connection to subject*) Well played, you have another subscriber.
No cap this my first time running into this channel Ik it was a review before I clicked but the moment that animation played I thought I was gonna get a full 15 mins of that
Gotta say that like Mikey makes the most sense, I had this discussion with my friend a while back because we talked about various things like if the four turtles were to all fight each other, who would be the last one standing? The two of us agreed on Leonardo just because he'd know his own team's set of skills real well but I pointed out that Mikey would be a solid runner up being a wild card, he is Battle Nexus Champion after all lol. Unfair comparison given Leo was poisoned during that but if he wasn't & beat Usagi, would of been interesting to see between him & Mikey, who would win. What I pointed out during the conversation with my friend on Mikey making the most sense is that he seems to be super adaptable, it's more obvious in the 2012 series, like when the dude was in Dimension X without his brothers for who knows how long? Instead of struggling to survive or panic or whatever, he adapted & learned, actually this is a thing I love they did with him because it demonstrates how capable he truly is, scary to say at least for that iteration, his brothers somewhat hold him back. He's learned by doing like when he messes with stuff in Donatello's lab, keep on asking about the things & all that, it's just how that turtle do & without his brothers keeping him from doing Mikey things, he was able to do what suits him best & be the most skilled in Dimension X because of it. If this Mikey is anything like that Mikey, he could easily adapt & learn without his brothers but also, makes sense that he ended up torn down emotionally, baby brother does seem to have the most heart so it probably does hurt him the most that they're gone which made it more of a sad read like I don't think I'd be able to be that emotionally invested if it were any other turtle.

Ain't no way am I listening to some dude talking about a TMNT comic book while playing soundtrack from games I sometimes tend to play. I, both as a TMNT fan in the childhood and as a gamer in the present, am having a pretty good time watching this. Definitely a sub
Bro, it got another few days ago that they're making a last Ronin video game! It's even apparently going to be inspired by the God of War series. I am so freaking excited
Are we just gonna ignore the part where the turtles are canonically somewhat radioactive? Their mutations are contagious and April still hangs out with them Also on the race part, think it was more so April’s race was just ambiguous. At least in black and white. Then she was established as white. Sometimes she looks mixed tho. And her design and TMNT itself has always been inconsistent so why would anyone be upset or even that excited about such minute changes. And since there’s new turtles let’s see how it goes. If April’s race was controversial let’s see how people handle the new turtles not being like the old

So is this turtle Mikey or Leo?
As Leo said to Mikey in TMNT(2003) S04E06: "In this life, we only have each other. If one of us goes down, we all go down."
Still poetic to this day

Dude I think this is the best tmnt comic
This needs a 5/6 episode series animated how it was in the beggining
The last ronin ends the same way the very first sketch started the franchise, 1 turtle with a black mask wielding nunchucks

The TMNT the last ronin is such a awesome comic and great video man :]
Damn bro, I just had a surgery for a hernia. And my life is rocky right now. You didn’t have to cut so deep.
Michelangelo has lived longer than the other artists in the real world, that is why he is the surviving turtle.

man this story was everything and its sad to
im finding so many hidden gem youtubers recently, your editing is great!
The animation by that guy is great but I feel like it’d of been easier to do and would of fit the TMNT style more if it was a drawn animation
The guys a 3d artist and 2d is not easy has someone that’s does art and help in animation it still difficult to do but I would say this is gold
If you think it'd be easier do it yourself
Are you stupid? 2d animation is way harder than than 3d
Nah bruh this is way better

Who else but Michaelangelo?
used to be just donatello that was on the, "solo'd a stronger version of the shredder" list.
need to add mikey too it...
When this comic was first accounted I knew it was Michaelangelo its the only thing that looks good on paper. They others where to obvious
Ronin so good bro became literate
