I wonder... are Usagi and Gen going to appear in the currently aired TMNT Fast Forward season? Or in the Season Five a.ka. Lost Season that is supposed to be released on DVD only?

Usagi (and Gen's) appearances in the TMNT are over, at least for now. Their last appearance was, I think, Samurai Tourists.

Well, it's strange that the first time I knew about Usagi was through his action figure from TMNT prior to his appearance in the old TV show.

Anyway, I don't mind if there are some gaps about Usagi's relationship with the turtles, specially Leonardo (my favourite too, though Raphael is one of my favorites turtles as well).

I find Green Shades pretty entertaining and I really love the scene when Michelangelo tells the other turtles about his discoveries in the UY world and the turtles begin to ask things like why a rabbit is like a human and then a horse is like a horse or the question about tails. Brilliant, I must say.

About that story with Usagi written by Peter Laird, sorry, I haven't read it... In fact, nearly none of the TMNT comics have come to Spain, but we know about the turtles from the old and new TV shows and the movies. A pity we don't have the comics to enjoy them (though I read the first one in a not-so-legal way and I liked it).

More about UY-TMNT crossover... I was told about the new TV show of the turtles that Usagi was going to make an appearance... It was the Big Brawl mini-saga, I think, but I was shocked when I saw Gennosuke as well. Shocked in a good way, I mean. And I was told that Tomoe has appeared in the series too (though briefly), but I think that season hasn't arrived in Spain yet.

You are going to absolutely love the "Real World part 1" episode!!!

Part 2 is more along the lines of the Big Brawl episode, but part 1 is really special for Usagi fans. 8)

Really? Well, then I hope I can watch it soon... though there are no plans of continuing with the show's translation in Spain... Anyway, what you said makes me look forward to it with more interest, Steve. :D

Usagi in Turtles Episodes

Post by Hareblader »

1. What are the names of the new TMNT episodes that Usagi appears in?
2. Will there be a DVD that will collect them all?
3. Will Usagi ever have his own cartoon?

Arigato,

Hareblade
