In commemoration of this

Let us remember what Frida can do canonically

gave her the ol' Shikamaru's Kagemane no Jutsu treatment for ninpo which is fitting really since

And what's more ninja than shadow manipulation?

Just y'know, from a 90s weeb standpoint who saw how fucking obsessed U.S media was with ninja in the 80s and 90s, the earlier TMNT could have stood to be MORE ninja. The newer iterations kinda sorta have gotten "more ninja" instead of generic milk chocolate martial arts with a shiny ninja candy coating

#Leo's portals is more like standard anime ass “Nothing personal kid” teleportation bait and switch sleight of hand #Donnie's just a purple colored Green Lantern #Yes I know there's technically “purple” Lanterns but a Star Sapphire Donnie ain't #Bro is Willpower... well they kinda all are tbh #....no NOOOO NO GO AWAY LANTERN CORP AU NOT NOW #Raph's is too with a dash of mecha pilot and that Anne Hathaway Kaiju movie-ass Colossal power #Mikey's also sorta anime but leaning more to xianxia magic chain #but fuck Frida's become so one with the shadows she IS the shadows all of them #look at her look at how many shadow hands she conjured #WHILE catching them unaware #ninja as FAWK #god please let cringe die when that comic comes out #because Leo WOULD fucking wear a hitai ate #as a sword user??? hello????#It Just Makes Sense #no idea if Jimenez was referencing Next Mutation with the forearm wraps but #y'all are WELCOME #next mutation did that shit first #AND Raph's sai staff #hoo lemme stop there #like I guess doing hand seals is too heavily associated with Naruto specifically in the US #but like that's one of THE things that differentiate doing ninja shit vs regular ole cool anime magic shit #and it's cool as fuck stop lying #granted kujikiri in real life was more akin to like concentration techniques than being able to summon a whole-ass 100 ft toad #god reminds me I need put down my iteration's ninja lore #was gonna have a whole Tengu arc #Leo was gonna further his swordsmanship skills with Sojobo #convince them to lift the nerf ban from the remaining ninja clans #(because krang and his utrom army was coming)#the nameless foot soldiers they fight through were just ornate wooden puppets
