While each member of theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtleshas become roll in the hay for their unequalled weapons ( as they ’ve used them since the first exit of the original comic),TMNTitself eventually accept that one of their arm does n’t make any sense – at least , not anymore .
In the original Mirage StudiosTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescomic series by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird , all four Turtles , Leonardo , Donatello , Michelangelo , and Raphael , were assigned a specific weapon – which , in those other twenty-four hours , was really the only way to specialise them , since their masquerade party were all the same color and their personalities were uniformly focussed and acute . Leonardo was given matching katana , Raphael twin sai , Michelangelo nunchucks , and Donatello a bo staff . These weapon became synonymous with each of the Turtles themselves , but one Ninja Turtle has completely outgrown his in the beginning assigned weapon – and the new lay down IDW PublishingTMNTseries highlights that averment .

InTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe#1 by Paul Allor and Damian Couceiro , the Ninja Turtles are patrol the metropolis , lurking on New York rooftops , on the observation post for trouble . While staking out one special domain of interest , Michelangelo and Donatello start talk ( since they had been run surveillance for hr now ) . Before long , the two start comparing their weapons , and Mikey says the one thing fans have been think for years , “ I imply … it ’s a joystick , bro . You ’re like , the smart as a whip guy on the squad , and your weapon is … a stick ” . While Donatello strain to hold himself by calling out how Mikey ’s weapon is just ‘ two sticks ’ , his retort does n’t enshroud the fact that Michelangelo is correct , andeverything Donatello has accomplishedin this serial proves it .
During IDW’sTMNTrun thus far , Donatello has helped prepare multiversal travel engineering , channelize the power of illusion through a gadget of his own design to make the mystical energy safer to use , and even transferred his awareness into a robot body that was essentially theTMNT ’s reading of a Transformer . So , why is he press with a ‘ joystick ’ ? The obvious answer is the one that has been give a plurality of times : he ’s a ninja , and this is the weapon he was given by his don as a style to honor his roots . But candidly , the Ninja Turtles have moved well beyond ‘ honoring their roots ’ , and Donatello raise that particularly , as he alone has make some of the most advanced arms in existence – weaponry he should absolutely trade his bo stave out for .
At this point in their continuity , the Ninja Turtles are on a regular basis battlingthe ilk of interdimensional authoritarian , war alien races , and more and more baneful mutant killers . In other Bible , it makes no sense that someone as brilliant as Donatello would risk his life bringing a ‘ stick ’ into battle against scourge like these when he has admission to the highest caliber of weaponry , and of his own design , no less – a seemingly obvious fact thatTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesfinally addressed .
