Usagi and the TMNT cartoon

[jabba359]

I've been watching all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoons where Usagi makes an appearance. Fortunately, the TMNT YouTube channel had all the episodes readily available (the channel with them all has since been deleted). They don't particularly adhere to the comics, but are fun nonetheless.

1987 series
Season 3 Episode 32: Usagi Yojimbo
In this episode, Shredder's teleportation cannon knocks Donatello's pan-dimensional portal off track and Usagi comes through into the turtle's world. After a brief stint working at a restaurant, Usagi helps the turtles defeat a dragon.

Season 3 Episode 34: Usagi Come Home
Shredder tricks Usagi into fighting the turtles.

2003 series
Season 2 Episodes 23-26: The Big Brawl parts 1-4
In these episodes, Splinter and the gang travel to the Battle Nexus to take part in an inter-dimensional martial arts tournament, in which Usagi and Gen are two of the contestants.


Season 3 Episode 1: The Christmas Aliens
While Michelangelo is out stopping some toy thieves, the rest of the TMNT gang are joined by Usagi and Gen for a Christmas dinner. This shares the same name and story with the Michelangelo one-issue micro series printed in Dec. 1985 (minus Usagi and Gen visiting for dinner).

Season 3 Episodes 21-22: The Real World parts 1-2
When Splinter and the turtles are all sent to different dimensions, Leonardo ends up on 2nd Earth, Usagi's dimension. While here, he helps Usagi, Gen, Tomoi, and Lord Noriyuki battle against Lord Hebi, Chizu, and the Neko ninja. Part 2 has Leonardo and Usagi traveling back to the Battle Nexus to retrieve the War Staff so that they can open a dimensional portal to rescue Splinter and the other turtles.

Season 4 Episode 15: Samurai Tourist
When Usagi and Gen decide to drop by and visit New York, Lord Hebi sends an assassin after them.

Season 7 Episode 13: Wedding Bells and Bytes
At a certain wedding, Usagi and Gen are guests.

2012 series
Season 5 Episode 7: Yojimbo
The Turtles are mysteriously transported to Usagi's dimension, where they team up with Usagi to help transport a magical warrior child, Kintaro. This episode is written by Stan Sakai.

Season 5 Episode 8: Osoroshi no Tabi
Usagi and the Turtles journey through a haunted forest.

Season 5 Episode 9: Kagayake! Kintaro
Usagi and the Turtles help deliver Kintaro to his destination, only to come face to face with Jei!

I think Stan turned down Nick about having Usagi appear in the new cartoon, although I could be wrong. Would be interesting to see Usagi in CG.
