Samurai Tourist

According to Yahoo, the Dec. episode of TMNT is Samurai Tourist! I'm guessing that this is Usagi and Gen! If someone already mentioned this, sorry! I've been busy lately and not able to catch up on stuff!

Woo-hoo!

I should have said the Dec. THIRD episode, btw!

Oo! Sounds like it might be. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Yes! I was right. Poor Usagi! I know that the previews just show the "funny" aspects, but I for one am hoping that Usagi will talk a bit of sense into "dark" Leo.

And yes, I hope it is better than the one from the old series, where he ended up in New York.

Dare I say anything would be better than that! http://usagiyojimbo.com/other/animation/tmnt/usagi.rm You gotta love the old TMNT series, at least love to hate it. Even though I watch this now and laugh/choke, I do remember being totally jazzed the first time it came out when I was a 15-year old fanboy... I must say the new treatment is light years beyond the first.

I personally prefer the new series to the old cartoon myself; at least other characters from Usagi's world are referred to (especially Gen

)

Is there a Preview online yet?
I have no idea when we'll see the episode in the UK...

If you have the right player, 4kids.tv has the preview on their turtle page--

http://4kids.tv/tmnt/ then scroll down, click on the pic of the guys and Usagi. But it just shows the touristy aspect of it.

I do hope, considering what came up at the end of last week's episode, that Usagi gets to mix it up with the Foot. I still love that entire fight scene with Usagi, Leo, Gen, and Tomoe Ami.

Thanks for the link! It looks great! Gen as well!

Usagi: Tell me again, what this is made of?
Raph: Tourists!

I swiped this off of ninjaturtles.com-- the synops:

EPISODE NINETY ONE

"Samurai Tourist"

Story Editor: Lloyd Goldfine

Senior Supervising Director: Chuck Patton

Written by Christopher Yost

Synopsis:

Usagi and Gen come to New York for a visit with the Turtles. Gen gets a little carried away by the bright lights and big city and goes wandering off on his own. And if the modern world wasn’t dangerous enough, an assassin from Usagi’s world has followed Usagi and Gen here. His target: Leonardo.

NOTE: The new season synopses are based on early drafts of the scripts. Due to this and differences in the broadcasting order, this title and synopsis may be inaccurate.

Sounds like Hebe has still got it in for Leo!

Sounds cool.
But who would be the assassin? Not Hebi himself?
Any thoughts on who it mught be? Chizu?

cynlee · Post by **cynlee** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 18:06 -0700

Dang!!! Wouldn't that be cool? Chizu would be so cool! She was so underused in The Real World-- Who else? It *has* to be a ninja-- possibly someone Usagi would be familiar with as well!

Wow, the possibilites!

Gen wandering off on his own? What would be interesting to see (as well as a bit worrying, since I find it hard to imagine him doing that. Unless maybe he saw some street gambling taking place XD ). I hope the assassin's a neko ninja and not someone like Jei; how do you explain his sudden appearance to the audience if he wasn't in Real World?

IT was a great episode, and the assassin was a warthog but the name-- I forget it at the moment, but he was supposed to be a famous assassin -- but he was well-done, and if he is not a character from U. Y. he should be.

*Edit-- I think it is Kojima-- but I could be wrong.*

Gen wandering around Manhattan was a blast! Gen stole the show, IMHO. AND they made a visual joking reference to Rocksteady from the old TMNT cartoon show-- Gen admired this look of one New Yorker, and went into a clothing store and came out dressed accordingly. And the guys were glad that Gen was leaving, but he wanted to come back-- he liked their world, and he had heard of another city that he really felt would be a great place to visit: Las Vegas!!!!

Usagi got to tell Leonardo a brief version of his master's death, and I sure do hope that more Usagi stories are told-- I wish this would lead to a series for the Ronin Rabbit!

Gen does Las Vegas...now there's an idea (though not really dodgy XD)!

Man, it must be a really fun ep!
