Moments later, Splinter came across the hatchlings, gathering them into a can. Hmmm.Yes, it definately tastes like ooze. The turtles landed safely, until the jar of goo fell beside them, coating them with its contents. A container of green glowing goo fell out and was subsequently washed down the drain with the turtle hatchlings. As the truck swerved, its back doors swung open. The jar broke when it landed in the gutter, and the turtles were washed down a sewer drainage grate. A young man behind Chet with the turtles dashed to save the blind man, bumping into Chet and knocking the jar from his hands. A blind man was crossing the road when a truck labeled " T.C.R.I." almost ran him down. In 1969, a young boy named Chester Manley was carrying four turtle hatchlings home from a pet shop.

Alone and grief-stricken, Splinter escaped into the sewers, rummaging for food to survive. Yoshi then saw the Shredder, who, revealing his identity as Saki, promptly murdered Yoshi with his blades. One night, Yoshi returned home to find his apartment ransacked and Tang Shen lying dead on the floor. Yet the entire time, Saki sought the opportunity to avenge his brother by slaying Yoshi. Once there, Saki adopted the mantel of the Shredder and led the clan to the highest ranks of the underworld, specializing in burglary, espionage, and assassination.

Fueled by a thirst for vengeance, Saki eventually became a high-ranking member of the organization, and was tasked with leading a branch of the Foot in New York. Meanwhile, the Foot continued to train Nagi's younger brother, Oroku Saki. Knowing that the Foot would not accept the murder of another member, Yoshi, Tang Shen, and their pet rat Splinter fled to New York City, where he founded a small martial arts school. She was saved by Yoshi, who in a moment of rage, murdered Nagi with his bare hands. When it became clear that Tang Shen loved only Yoshi, Nagi arrived at her home and savagely beat her. Yoshi often clashed with a fellow member of the clan, Oroku Nagi, over the love of a woman named Tang Shen. From his cage, Splinter enjoyed mimicking Yoshi's movements, forming the basis for his knowledge of ninjutsu. Among the Foot's ranks was Hamato Yoshi, Splinter's original owner. This origin is shared with the Image continuity and the Palladium source books.ĭecades ago in Japan, there existed a ninja clan known as the Foot. It is recounted to the Ninja Turtles in The Turtles' Origin is Told after their first successful battle. The Mirage version of the origin story lays out what would become the most common elements among the origin stories.
BABY NINJA TURTLE OUTLINED SERIES
The most well-known versions are those presented in the 1990 film series and the 1987 TV series, although they are wholly irreconcilable with one another. Some delve deeper into the past, some have added minute details, and some have even altered the origins of the ooze or the identities of the characters. Though most versions of the origin include these similar elements, many differences are also present. One day, Splinter returns to find the turtles crawling in a strange ooze, and their mutations into humanoid creatures begins. Most versions are similar to outline of Hamato Splinter's tale in the first issue of the Mirage comics: Hamato Yoshi is slain by Oroku Saki and Splinter takes refuge in the sewers, where he discovers four baby turtles have been dropped by a young boy. The "origin of the TMNT" refers to a series of events present in most Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fictional universes, which ultimately culminate in the mutations of Splinter and the Ninja Turtles.
