Ask The Needs a Map Au

While fighting a villain, Leo was scattered throughout the turle and wider multiverse. Leo is the only one that can travel between them but has no idea how to get home or that his brothers, April, and the Caseys are lost as well.

Hello! Welcome to the Needs a Map Au!

The turtles, Caseys, April, and Mayhem are fighting a villain armed with a scepter that scatters the Hamatos into different universes both inside and outside of the 'turtleverse'.

After being experimented on, Leo's power is boosted, and he is able to create portals between universes. If only he knew where home was or that the others are lost too...

Introduction

She goes through a similar arc either way. Phasmo would be more of an original story since it's story, characters, and world are looser. Undertale is more recognizable and straightforward but less room to mess with canon.

Neither is better than the other in my mind, so I'd like a second opinion to swing me, if you're willing.

Hello! [gives] Have a silly lil take on Yuichi!

Design Notes Below:

First things first on my design notes, his build is different. I like the idea that, while Miyamoto takes more inspiration from hares, Yuichi would be more like your standard pet rabbit/ bunny. He's shorter due to this and stockier from both fluff and growing up on a farm. I also gave them both digitigrade legs.

I also wanted to make him speckled as his aunt is a caramel brown. He is now white with caramel speckling (that looks a bit like freckles) rather than pure white like his legendary ancestor. His eye marking serves the same function as his ancestor's scar and the turtles' masks in sudo eyebrowness. He has red eyes as opposed to Miyamoto's pink.

I wanted it to feel modern and sporty while keeping the silhouette of his original outfit. Where the medium grey is a teal/ blue, the darker grey would be a darker, almost black shade of the same color. His outfit will change as the story goes on, but the color scheme will be consistent.

Time Period:

The thousand year age gap between them hasn't made sense in my brain with how prominent he is in Yuichi's identity as a person and goals in life. I decided to shorten the gap by making it 400 years. Long enough for him to still be a person remembered by time and setting the story in the 21st century (although very different from 21st century Earth due to magic and stuff). Miyamoto is Yuichi's 9x great grandfather.

Mystic Power:

Yuichi already has the yoyo, but I like the idea that Willow Branch gives the wielder the ability to run on air as a reference to the mythology behind Grasscutter (either that or maybe he just finds Grasscutter instead??).

Quick height reference:

(For reference, he is half a head shorter than Mapless!Leo)

You may call me Tigerclaw.

"Oh! It's you!"

After nearly two months of kraang captivity, he was found.

"Local slug tries to guess where on the '87 timeline the '12 crossover exists with the power of Wikipedia"

Ok! So, this is specifically the Wormquake Part 2 cameo and the episode 'Trans-Dimensional Turtles'. I can make no claims as to the other crossovers.

Evidence to narrow it down:

Rob Paulson voices Raph- seasons 1-9

Red Sky/ Gets dark- seasons 8-10

Krang is in play- seasons 2-8

Mikey fights with nunchaku- seasons 1-3

This evidence limits the potential range to after season 1 but before season 4.

As the Usagi Yojimbo crossover takes place in season 3 and the Technodome is sent to Dimension X in the finale of that very season, I would like to hypothesize that the episode 'Trans-Dimensional Turtles' and the cameo in 'Wormquake Part 2' occur between seasons 3 and 4 of the 1987 TMNT.

**Upon further inspection, it should be noted that Dimension X is a place where time operates differently and the Casey cameo in Wormquake Part 1 could be spying in on the future after he and April have actually met/ sometime between season 5 and 7???**

Shouting into the Void: Can anyone who has actually seen this show confirm or deny my conclusion/ evidence?

"Something else might come through!"

"What do we do now?!"

"Leatherhead! Something else is coming through!"

"We'll be back."

-We good? [Phew] Ok!

-Hey Guys!

-Turns out I’m a little further than Tahiti this time….

-I hope you guys aren’t too mad that I pulled a stunt like this again. I mean, she was going to hit you- I just couldn’t let that happen!

-Besides, I’m sure you were able to stop her! You’re Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I’m sure you kicked her sorry butt back to... wherever she came from! 

-... It's been a long time. I missed Raph’s 18th... and 19th, didn't I? [sigh] I'm sorry and I love ya big bro no matter how old ya get <3 ... I love all of you. 

-I know you guys didn’t want me doing this again but if it means saving you it's all worth it! It's not about me, it's about you and how wonderful you are! You’re my whole world and trust me, you wouldn’t want to be stuck. At least with my powers, I’m not stuck anymore. 

-At least I’ve got this new trick up my sleeve. I’m just more lost than I thought. It's like the Maze of Death all over again just without the minotaur. 

-I’ll find you. I’ll find home. I promise.
