hey! im new to tumblr, (ish) and dont know how to use this fucken platform, but upon finding the rise of ttmnt I thus found Like Father Like Son on Ao3 by @eternalglitch​! (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 21!!)

OK YALL so I finally found an accurate use of measurement to find Leo’s actual height!

There’s a scene where Leo is holding onto his ōdachi (canonically 5 feet long) and the hilt reaches to the middle of his bicep.

Using the ōdachi as a tool of measurement and with an eye for a (VERY rough) estimate-

Leonardo is probably somewhere from 6’ to 6’6

Remember- ROUGH estimate. In this scene his head is tilted down and back making his neck seem shorter so I accounted for some extra height.

Idk why the sword is drawn so huge on official art but it seems they actually fixed it here. So for now my estimate’s for each character’s heights are probably

Leo- somewhere round 6’4, definitely not taller than 6’6

Donnie - is canonically taller than Leo, probably anywhere from 6’7 to 6’9- I don’t think he’d be much taller.

Raph- Big boy. Lorge. 6’10- 7 ft. Easy.

Mikey- Short (for a mutant) king. He’s a little taller than April so say April’s average female height (5’4) I’d assume he’s probably somewhere like 5’6- 5’7

I had too much mental instability to take this on but WHATEVER. Here you go Rottmnt fan base- an actual basic height measurement for you to use. I’m going to die now, thanks.
