Who is Karai?

[loganjamesalex]

I know Usagi but not her. I looked her up on the wiki but I got a little confused by all the different versions of the character. Which version of Karai is this? Who is she? The 80's Mirage comics version? Did she ever crossover with the cartoon media in any way like the cartoon comics?

lots of videos on this character. I tend to like Whang's since it tends to relate to how a lot of people are about this character Karai... just total confusion or total unwareness of who she is.

To be fair though its not like there were many options left for characters considering this is based on the '87 turtles. With that being said though I'm just gonna wait for the fugitoid dlc

Well, from what i'm gathering:

This version of Karai is an ex-Foot Clan member due to the Shredder replacing the entire clan with robots before the events of the cartoon.

Due to Shredder kicking EVERYONE out of the Foot Clan, Karai decides to lay claim as the clans master, but needs to defeat Shredder to start the clan anew with honor.

One of the few versions of Karai that isn't Shredders adopted daughter.

Why does her - an enemy of turtles in tmnt 2003 - added to their gang??

Because in her original appearance in the comics, she was an ally.

Shredder was dead and she came to New York to restore order to the American branch of the foot and teamed up with the Turtles on the promise the Foot wouldn't bother them again.

Who is she? Trust me, you don´t want to know...

I actually really like this head-canon for Karai being placed in the classic series universe, and I'm going to adopt it as my own head-canon as well!

I think some of you who are throwing the classic TMNT series under the bus for being "dated" are going into it with the wrong expectations.

It's like, Batman:TAS is objectively better than the '60s Batman TV show, but the latter is a lot of fun if you watch it with the right frame of mind.

This ties in with another unfortunate sentiment a lot of people these days have; camp = bad, edgy = good.

She is from 2003 series. I highly recommend forget whatever you saw in 1987 as TMNT and start watching 2003 TMNT. The story is fantastic, it is very serious and dark and the villain is truly a villain. Karai is a fantastic character with a very developed story. I cannot go back to 1987 anymore or even the films after watching 2003 this year. Whoever made and wrote those was doing it with full passion. They left no plot holes and no flaws, amazing ending and incredible story timeline.

It really is dark and gritty, which could be an advantage for some, but not for me. There is barely any humor in it, and pizza is fully absent as far as I can remember - and to me, it just doesn't feel like TMNT without humor and pizza. :) I also grew up with the 1987 version, but agree that it did not age well. Currently, I prefer the 2012 version. My sons also love it as it has great storylines, great action sequences, relatable character drama and plenty of humor (but does not go overboard like the latest iteration).

One of the series also has Karai as Splinter's daughter. Shredder kidnapped her as an infant and raised her himself, convincing her that she was his daughter and Splinter had wronged them somehow in a kind of twisted revenge scheme to get Splinter's own daughter to hate him and kill him. I imagine if/when she found out, that'd turn things around pretty quickly and you'd see her kind of like she is in this game, an ally of the Turtles, not an enemy (probably after some hard/bitter reconciliation).

It seems like from what I've seen of her, that unlike the other characters who have some consistency, Karai is different just about every time she appears or is used in one of the series.

That's the 2012 version of Karai. She does come around, but just as she is about to become a full-fledged ally to the turtles, another plot twist occurs. I recommend watching it! :)
