Honestly to me it makes a lot more sense that Michelangelo would be the last Ronin, since he’s the most optimistic of his brothers and is the one that keeps them together and the possibility of him losing his own family would definitely lead him down this dark path.🤔🐱

While it’s a nice thought, the sequel/prequel comic “the lost years” proves this is sadly not the case. Tl;Dr: Most of China is an irradiated wasteland and the rest of Central Asia is rife with criminal gangs and warlords pillaging the countryside. Also Korea has reunified, but the North is still a barren hellscape rife with crime and poverty.

The first time i realized that Mikey was the last Ronin, legit brought me to tears. The one turtle who treasured his family more than anything is the one who has to deal with such soul-crushing loneliness, the one turtle who had a near limitless source of enthusiasm having to live such an unbearably painful existence...i can't imagine just how hellish it must have felt for him.

You have no idea... "The Last Ronin - The Lost Years" comic shows what he's been through ever since. And you wanna know what's even sadder... April is still alive but Mikey thought she also died.

Dayum. I feel like I lost a part childhood knowing that the 4 greens are really canonically gone. No one lives forever. Sad to think that the turtles are are not a species and once they die, they have to create them manually again from an experiment. RIP turtles.

One of my fav superhero stories ever, alongside TDK Returns, All Star Superman or Spider-Man: Life Story. Like those stories, a perfect, symbolic endgame for the Turtles franchise. ❤

The Last Ronin aka Mikey is another great example of what trauma can do to a person. Other examples include Peni Parker, Sindri from God of War Ragnarok & Luz from The Owl House.

Fr, the jokester/funny/soul of the group going through something so terrible that they are broken is such a good trope

My mind was also blown when I found out my favorite cartoon action heroes had started in comics. Comic books being my favorite thing in the world growing up. I never heard about this Ronin story so I'm going to read it and come back to watch this as not to spoil it ❤

The 2003 show was also my first exposure to the Turtles and is probably my favorite Turtles media. And you mentioning the ps2 movie game brought back memories of playing it a ton as well

This series is what , after 20 plus years, got me back into comics. I predicted it would be Mikey. For me it was easy, he was the only one who had some growing up to do. Raph, Leo and Donnie would all happily die in battle. Raph kinda ran toward that outcome, generally speaking of course. Great series.

loved this video, huge fan of your marvel and dc content but this was a really nice change of pace

Gave him the dark knight returns treatment. Even more heart breaking when you know the story behind the creators.

I Burst out laughing when you brought up "the honored one" XD

I recently watched the video "How did a violent indie comic become a $15,000,000,000 franchise?" by Matttt. It's about the ninja turtles, their creators and comic book origin (including "The last Ronin"). I can really recommend watching it if you haven't already. It also covers all their comic runs across time and what went on behind the scenes then.

Fat content practically back to back bro!!!! Stoked!

one of the best comic i have by one of the best comic telling channel the story was incredible

man... Love your content. Keep it up

I love these longer videos keep it up

"Know peace" Now that, is a strong scene

Duuuuuudddde I've been wating for you to talk about this 🔥😂

I didn’t expect HIM to be HIM.. but after he got his ass kicked and overwhelmed I had a pretty good idea who IT had to be and considering the loss I could see it.

Mullet-Man: I won't spoil who the last ronin is 0:59 seconds into the video: zooms in giving obvious hint who's the last ronin 😂😂

I always kinda thought it was Mikey, I mean the turtles criticizing him in his head is something he would go through.

Please cover Batman Beyond! Been binging all your videos, best comic channel.

Like you, my love for the turtles started with the 2003 series although I was born a month after the show was releasing. I still found a way to watch it and loved it also the 2012 series. I didn’t read the comics till 2020 I started with mirage then the last Ronin didn’t finish the Ronin till last year and boy that is one of the coolest comics I read. I’m happy it’s becoming popular and I need to read lost years. Also that ending with Mikey got me 😔.

This is the first time I see a Mullet-Man video about a comic I actually read. So Finally I can tell how complete and accurate this videos are. Pretty complete and accurate, if you ask me. (and you didn't)

The first live action movie from the 90’s still holds up pretty well.

Man I love this comic peak story telling

"Life long exposure to the TMNT" yeah they definitely finished inside her multiple times

i heard him define crashout as somebody that goes from a walking ray of sunshine to baby kia 2.0 and i already knew who it was

I have been reading the turtles since 1984 #1 at mirage studios when the turtles ALL wore red masks!

If you like this, there are so many other more serious, darker stories they have that are awesome. Early Turtles, when they were inspired heavily by Ronin and Daredevil were really, really cool. They didn’t care who they were killing, and acted with the ideals of actual ninja. I really wish there was more grit in their modern representations. A darker animated series adapting one of those storylines is a must at some point. They deserve it.

I honestly thought it was leonardo the one who follows splinters teachings the most my second guess being raph being a fan favorite honestly mike was my last guess but they made it work

For this who are wondering about the art change into black and white with some of the flashbacks in the last Ronin is those parts are written in the original style of the original tmnt Comics which are pretty great and have multiple cool other comics references especially the Daredevil References(the foot is based off of the hand in the daredevil comics.)

this really needs to be a movie, it would be so good if the right amount of effort would be put into it.

Mullet man, you read my mind. I was wanting tmnt when I woke up

thank you for the jjk warning ur the boss

I love marvel comics and dc comics and the outerversal comic characters in here and not just that I truly love the hardest Heroes and the hardest villains to kill it's like anime if you ever hear someone say that they are the hardest hero to kill play see you and if you hear that they are the hardest villains to kill you know that it's no joke

Much love ❤

id love if you covered both parts of the "deadpool kills the marvel universe" comics or any hellboy comic. theyre 2 of my favourite comic book characters

I know you just made an amazing Red Hood video but could you cover Jasons story from the 80th anniversary Robin comic? It's called More time and it's really small, would work really well as a short!

im crying right now😭

Never read the turtle comics but what a tremendous story.

I thought the last ronin was either mickey or leo because if donatello was the last ronin he would probably use some more sofisticated, and Raphaël being the most hot headed I would hardly see him surviving and not going crazy the moment one of his brother died

Hey, have some of you heard of Energon universe/Transformers skybound?

W video by the way, but I always felt like it was Donnie. Because he feels like the most odd one out of the group, and being the smartest, it just feels like he would’ve been the last one standing

This is such a cool comic.

This comic was the only comic to make me tear up a little surprisingly.

Honey wake up Mullet-man comics posted a new video

Ok this is actually peel writing ✍️ 🔥

i love last ronin its really awesome series and badass in my opinion.

what... a... story! I've never been one to read comics especially ones that are like official and are published in the US and I have to pay to read it but this makes me wanna buy the whole series!

I've heard about this story totally assumed it was Rafael. Never thought it was Michaelangelo that was a surprise 😳

you should do a few hour long video specifically about the entirety of 616...

I just bought a copy…it’s a really depressing book but soooo worth it🔥🔥🔥

Yeah given your intro, I kinda figured it was Mikey. Someone that carefree had the most to lose if he fell.

This kinda reminds me of the ending of the 2012 series where things devolved into straight up mad max with the only two remaining turtles being robot Donnie and raph

Any possibility of a "The Crow" video??

2003 TMNT looks really good I think because each turtle is a different shade alongside their bandana. I remember the stories being good and animation tickling my child brain

You know I gotta watch a 30 minute long TMNT video

My boy Mikey man so sad to see

I had NO clue TMNT got this dark 😂

Best ending for TMNT honestly

you have to watch 2010 tmnt it truly is so amazing and I've watched more than 3 times, hope you like it too!

*„PRETTY BOYS WITH PROBLEMS!”* - #BennettTheSage

The idw comics are so damn good, if you enjoy them a lot I highly recommend the 2012 Nickelodeon tmnt cartoon, which still to this day is my personal favorite iteration of the tmnt and I grew up on the 2003 series as well

you did it justice

I thought it was obvious it was Michaelangelo, partly because it would carry the most weight with his chill style, but also because he was supposed to have the most talent potential. Off chance it was Leonardo, who would have the worst survivor guilt of failing as the leader.

Bruh my TMNT abstention start with the 2012 nickelodeon and this is how it going on good dam

Initially I thought it was anyone but Donny. He was the only one I couldn’t see becoming the dark and gloomy protag

The 2012 animated series was peak tho, you should watch it

i thought it would be mikey because seeing the carefree funny turtle turn dark and evil would be nice

Art reminds me of frank miller which makes sense because tmnt was inspired by his DD run

It's cool that a game is being made based on last ronin Skeptical about it but idc more people will learn about this book

Did think it was cannon that it was mikey, but i might be wrong. But then saying that i always did think it was him as i read the comic. And if you have not read the first comics then you got to, they are so good, from before they did think about kids reading the comic, so good.

HAHAHHAHAAH man I loved the AOT bit

thanks for the spoiler warning on JJK even though just talking about it makes you suspect it's Itadori

Do a video on the monarch of menace, batman's true failure

The 4 last original turtles dying and being reunited in the after life and waiting for Mikey like that was so sad man 😭 it was cool how she had 4 other replacement turtles, first time I’ve ever seen the original TMNT get replaced, but they’ll never be the same as the originals man. 🥲

Its always a gamble but honestly I have complete faith in both the video game adaptation and movie adaptation of the Last Ronin comic that are coming out.
