So, emperyum is neat.
But what exactly is it?
I have a theory.
Perhaps it’s stating the obvious, but it seems that emperyum is, to put it plainly, krang blood. Expired krang goo? Something like that.
Now we know that Draxum used emperyum to create the turtles and the oozesquitos that create mutants (or maybe we don’t know that, was that stated in the series? I can’t remember). Also should be noted that emperyum can be used to take someone’s mystics, which is what Krang Prime does in the movie.
So, if the turtles were created using krang blood, that would explain their strength, especially against the likes of the krang. But if the krang blood has mutating like abilities, is it possible, the “fountain” of emperyum in the hidden city is what second handedly, created the Yokai as a whole?
The Krang wouldn’t be directly responsible for this, giving them no real connection in terms of hive mind, but does seem to fit under their umbrella of abilities.
But it would mean that the boys, and all those mutated, would technically be considered Yokai. Even Splinter. Doesn’t change the dynamics between that of humans, Yokai, and mutants seeing as that history may have been lost but it is interesting to think about.
Side line: is it ever explicitly said that Todd is a mutant? Could he have just been a Yokai all along? It would explain why his payments were behind, and why he lived in the woods.
