I found out on tv tropes that in Japan, Shredder’s name, Oroku Saki, is changed to Oroku Sawaki, because apparently Saki is a feminine name. I personally find this kinda funny for some reason. (Krang would totally tease Shredder for having a ‘girly’ name, lol.)
Also there was gonna be an episode called Shredder in Love…both of us would have to get in line to propose to him lol.
I'm glad you bring that up because that gives me an excuse to talk about it. while the reasonings for his name may be questionable, I believe I have a very simple and easy explanation for why he might have a feminine name. transman who just kept his birth name.
LETS GOOO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHREDDERPOSTCENTRAL GONE WOKE!!!
the most pathetic cartoon villain you know is transgender.
also this turns out to be funny in that he only gets upset at the usage of Oroku Saki bc he wants to be cool and mysterious NOT because he considers it his deadname. it's a really good bit to me, at least.
