To practically everyone ’s surprise , Michelangeloshowed his more serious side inThe Last Ronin – though oneTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescomic proved that , while fans were definitely shock by Michelangelo ’s metamorphosis , they really should n’t have been , as his darker shift was teased long beforeThe Last Ronin .
2020’sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Last Roninis a five - part miniseries mark in the time to come of theTMNTuniverse follow the last survive member of the original four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . One of the biggest initial appeals of this series was the mystery behind which Turtle it was who outlived his brothers – and out of the four of them , it is just to say that Michelangelo is the one who was the least potential to deteriorate into a shadow , brooding lone warrior , tortured by the trauma of his past . Michelangelo isTMNT ’s resident physician ‘ company dandy ’ , after all , so seeing him in this light emphatically took a luck of people by surprise , especially when compared with the other Ninja Turtles , who have each exhibited more ‘ only wildcat ’ posture than Michelangelo ever has . However , being alone was n’t what define the Last Ronin ( despite the series ’ namesake ) , as that was just a by-product of his survival science – and Michelangelo prove that his accomplishment are god - tier ( literally ) .

TMNT’s Michelangelo Outmaneuvered a Hunting God, Confirming His Survival Skills
InTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles#83 by Kevin Eastman , Bobby Curnow , Tom Waltz , and Dave Wachter , the Ninja Turtles have hazard into the kingdom of the deity in search of one who would aid themdefeat the sinister deity , the Rat King . After already having meet most of the Pantheon , the Turtles decided that the one most potential to connect their fight is the God of the Hunt , Manmoth . Manmoth purposely lived in the harsh circumstance , leading his seemingly eternal lifespan in a perpetual hunt , as he believed that to be the only on-key style to live . So , naturally , when the Ninja Turtles came to him , he respond by run them . While every penis of the TMNT were able-bodied to effectively quash and sidestep all Manmoth ’s fire , only one was able-bodied to out - start the immortal and trap him in a makeshift trap : Michelangelo – thereby earning him Manmoth ’s respect and cementing himself as the superior survivor of his brothers .
This comic issue come out in 2018 , two age before the launching ofThe Last Roninand even longer before it was widely known that Michelangelo was the nominal dark and tortured Turtle – and it sets up his transition utterly . WhenMikey and his TMNT blood brother were being huntedby Manmoth , they were perhaps close to destruction than they ’ve ever been before , and only Michelangelo found it within himself to overcome the deadly obstruction at script and come up a way to stay active . On the surface ( just like withThe Last Roninmystery ) it seems as though Donatello should have been the one to design a trap capable of stopping a god , or Leonardo should have best him with his skill solidifying and courage , or Raphael should have thrown caution to the farting and vote out the god with transparent rage and willpower alone – it certainly did n’t seem as though ‘ political party fellow ’ Mikey should have been the one to take Manmoth down , just as it did n’t seem like he ’d become the Last Ronin .
In essence , this is one of the first timesMichelangelohas proven himselfto be superior to his sidekick in such a side - by - side compare , especially give the sincerity of that situation – and that alone makes the fact that he ’d end up being the last make it appendage of his blood brother totally believable , as that blue transformation was teased inTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesbeforeThe Last Ronin .
