Post by Stan Sakai »

There are no scenes from the episodes, but Usagi is featured prominently.

I think the Usagi episode of TMNT airs this Sunday March 26th on Nickelodeon at 9am PST. The episode is called "The Forgotten Swordsman" so find out what channel Nickelodeon is and set your DVRs! :D You can also stream the episode after it airs on Nick.com. You have to enter your cable provider username and password though. I'm sure there are some evil ninja ways to find the episode online too. :twisted:

I don't think that is the one. They are still working on it so it probably will air some time this summer or early fall.

Another options: Buy individual episodes (same cost as the comic :)) or the season on your favorite stream service. Does anyone know if it is streaming on Hulu? You could get a free month on that or renew your subscription to watch it that way as well. :)

Indeed. :D

TMNT airs in the UK on Channel 5, one of the terrestrial channels stubbornly holding on. Also on Nicktoons - for which I'd have to add a kid's pass to my NowTV subscription, or start a two week free trial just for the Usagi episode.

Both channels seem to be starting or working through TMNT season 4 though, rather than showing 'Tales of the TMNT'. Unless I'm getting confused. Again.

My cable guide (Spectrum) says nothing about Usagi being in the new episode.

This person seems to think he will be in this episode.

Today's episode The Forgotten Swordsman was actually about Tatsu. Which the latest TMNT cartoon turned him into a blind swordsman like Zato Ichi. So in the Usagi Universe he would be similar to Zato Ino. It would have been cooler if the cartoon used Zato Ino. :D

According to the interview in the new Diamond Previews catalog, the three-part Usagi arc will air in July.

Kevin Eastman just dropped this nugget in the Kevin Eastman Studios email:
Kevin Eastman wrote:Miyamoto Usagi will guest star in 3 episodes of Nickelodeon’s “Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” animated series, voiced by John Boyega of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
I already thought John Boyega was awesome, but he just got even cooler! :shock:

Yeah, I heard John was doing it a few days back... still mulling in my head whether it fits, but the proof will be in the delivery.

Weird, now it sounds like Yuki Matsuzaki is the voice of Usagi?

Ok I'm pretty sure the Usagi episode of TMNT airs this Sunday at 9am on Nickelodeon. Imbd lists that the title of the episode is "Yojimbo" and the voice of Usagi is

Yuki Matsuzaki. Which Kyle mentions in the previous post.

Does somebody know if I can see it online in the Nickelodeon page here in Mexico? It will take a while for the episode to arrive down here hehe.
I'm guessing it will be 'region locked'...

We previewed the first episode last night, and it is terrific! I think everyone will be satisfied. I am.
