Warning ! This article contain spoilers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Last Ronin II - Re - EvolutionAn all - new squad ofTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtleswas recently introduced who will soon have their very own comic serial publication , though despite the big plans IDW Publishing has for their future tense , they were originally just an easter ballock . Apparently , there were no concrete plans to further the maturation of these new characters , which is a behind - the - scenes tidbit revealed by the creative squad behind the new Ninja Turtles ’ upcoming serial publication during an undivided audience with Screen Rant .

Thenew TMNT are Yi , Uno , Moja , and Odyn , and they are going to be the main focus of the upcomingTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Last Ronin II - Re - Evolution . ThisLast Roninsequel will essentially pick up where the account of these four new Turtles left off inTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Last Ronin - The Lost Years . The Lost Yearsfollowed Yi , Uno , Odyn , and Moja throughout their intact puerility , from the time they were baby to when they in the end mature into stripling , all the while usher them preparation to become ninjas like their iconic predecessors . However , before even that plot line , Yi , Uno , Moja , and Odyn made one other coming into court first . They were featured on the last Sir Frederick Handley Page ofThe Last Roninas four normal turtle in a terrarium , and apparently , that inclusion was entirely impromptu .

TMNT’s New Turtles Were Originally Included Just To “See How People React”

It was , if anything , just his gut instincts on small thought , and self-aggrandizing ideas , and little things like , “ Hey , why do n’t we discombobulate four minuscule turtles in a terrarium at the end ? And see how hoi polloi respond ? ” And talk about genius , right ? And I think , “ Okay , that ’d be nerveless , you know , dainty small easter nut . ” And it ’s just one more thing that has expand this universe in ways I would have never expected .

The idea that these newfangled Ninja Turtles only exist because Kevin Eastman thought that it ’d be coolheaded to throw in a little easter egg is astonishing , if not a small anxiousness induce , as it mean fan were almost robbed of this larger-than-life newTMNTstoryline to come . Yi , Uno , Odyn , and Moja are already begin to make a name for themselves after their captivating report inThe Lost Years , and that was just their inception story . The real tale of these shortly - to - be iconic members ofTMNTlore has yet to be told , and according to this interview , it was fantastically close to not being told at all , if it was n’t for the originative foresight of the carbon monoxide - creator of the entireTMNTuniverse himself , Kevin Eastman .

Now , it ’s almost impossible to imagineThe Last Roninuniverse being null of Yi , Uno , Moja , and Odyn , as they so utterly extend the legacy of the original four . So , while these newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesmay have set off out as simple easter eggs with no real design for further expansion or ontogeny , they sure enough - thankfully - did n’t stay put that agency .
