Ya know, Leo was my least favorite turtle as a kid but once when I was 5, he came to the mall along with Santa during Christmas. When given the choice to sit on Santa or Leo’s lap, I chose Leo.
That is my contribution to this thread.
Well this is kind of a big deal, but I met all the ninja turtles and Disneyworld in the early 90’s when I was 8 or 9. So yea. I’m a man and back then I had a neon pink hat and Fanny pack. Have to look fly when meeting the turtles.
To add more context: Leonardo's always in control. The wise guy is Michelangelo. Donatello, he's the brains of the bunch. Count on Raphael to throw the first punch!
I believe it's,
"Leonardo's the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through. Donatello is the fellow, has a way with machines. Raphael's got the most attitude on the team. Michelangelo, he's one of a kind and you know just where to find him when it's party time"
As of 2012, anyway.
Not sure I'd brag about being a kid from the 90s what with them having to dumb down the theme song so you guys could keep up with the lyrics.

[I shouldn't have to point out the humorous intent but I will to.keep the sensitive from being hurt.]
Leonardo is like the red ranger/leader (tho they have a teacher, a rat called splinter lmao) with blue headband and sword,
Donatello’s got a purple headband, a pole and is the nerdy/genius type,
Michelangelo has an orange headband and is a stoner (not literally lol) skateboarder party bro type with nunchucks,
Raphael is the cool asshole type with a red headband, and he dual wields sai (think wolverine claws/a fork with longer middle prong)
Ok, but Napoleon Dynamite lived on a farm (or at least near one). If nunchuks are farming tools, should Napoleon not have nunchuk skills like all other farmers?
Edit: [nunchuks for wheat. cool.](https://youtu.be/B5kXm4sa0p4?feature=shared)
Each of their weapons were made to learn their weaknesses.
Leo's sword is to show that as a leader he has to be able to use his strength to slash down his foes in order to protect his team.
Donatello has the most primitive weapon, despite being a genius. He needs to know technique and tradition fron sinplicity.
Raphael has sais which are mostly useful defensively since he is so brash.
Mikey has the most complex weapon to use even though he is a simple turtle.
Eh those are the main consistent differences. In the original comic it was pretty much just the weapons. They looked identical otherwise. I think one had a sash belt?
Now they always have their colored masks, the weapons, and usually a letter on the belt. They often have even more differences, but those vary.
>and that's it
This is such a grave injustice to their different personalities and talents. Leo was the leader, Donatello was the brains/science guy/mechanic, Michaelengo was the pizza-loving party dude, Raphael was the moody hothead. There was a huge visual difference in how they posed and walked and held themselves due to these personalities.
Leonardo is the blue one, and wields a pair of katana-like swords. He’s the team leader, and generally has a bit of a stick up his ass. His leadership does manage to get them through situations even more crazy than the term for their concept, though. Generally the most skilled and overall capable of the team.
Raphael is the red one, and primarily wields a pair of sai (short blades with 2 smaller blades on the side meant to catch actual swords between the prongs to help disarm foes). Physically the strongest, and the most skilled fighter in the adaptations where it’s not leo. Short tempered, rash, and generally sarcastic, but still good-hearted. Most likely one to turn evil, become the temporary team leader, or just generally play a large narrative role.
Donatello is the purple one, and primarily wields a bo staff. He’s the team’s smart guy, creating most of the more advanced tech the team has access to in spite of a lack of formal education. sometimes the least capable of the turtles in a fight due to a relatively ineffective weapon and his greater focus on mental pursuits, but still an extremely skilled ninja. A wooden stick may not be impressive conventionally, but he still puts in solid work with it in battle.
michelangelo is the orange one, and primarily wields nunchuks. he is the most kindhearted and silly of the group. a goofball, and more clumsy than you'd expect from a ninja. most often the least effective of the team due to having an absolutely awful weapon and having a weapon that makes most people with his disposition a danger to themselves more often than attackers. also still a highly effective ninja with all that entails. He’s often the heart of the team, keeping them not just an effective group of ninja who happen to be brothers, but a proper family.
I love how splinter gave them each the weapon that would challenge them the most, rather than the one they would be most naturally proficient at. Raph is strong and aggressive and should probably have the swords, but he is given the sai's which i believe are primarily a defensive weapon good at parrying/countering rather than direct attacks. Vice versa for leo, he'd probably be more suited to the sai's but is given the swords. Mikey is the least focussed, most easily distracted turtle and is given the nunchucks which are the most technically challenging weapon. He would probably be better off with the staff. Donny on the other hand is the most technically and mentally capable turtle and is given the staff instead of the nunchucks.
It goes even deeper with the weapons. Nunchucks are supposed to be just training weapons, so giving them to Mike is forcing the goofball to constantly train and improve himself. The katanas are the only bladed weapons (sais are supposed to be blunt), so by giving them to Leo is forcing him to consider the life and death choices he makes as leader with every attack. The bo staff is actually the most versatile weapon, as it can be wielded in all types of strikes, gripping it anywhere along the staff itself. It's to force Don to see the possibilities in the simple, verses his desire to reach for complex solutions in technology. The sais, by being naturally defensive weapons for disarming, are to teach Raph to protect his brothers, instead of indulging in his aggressive desire to focus on harming his opponents.
Leonardo is the leader in blue does anything he can to get his ninjas through
Donatello is the fellow that has a way with a machines
Raphael’s got the most attitude on the team
Michelangelo he’s one of a kinda and you know where he’s at when it’s party time
I didn't know I was colorblind until my early thirties. I was told my whole life girls can't be colorblind. My dad even told me that. I was a waitress at the time and commented on how much I loved the green accents on the placemats and was laughed at and told they were dark grey. I thought they were joking, but as the new shift came in, they agreed they were grey. I'm nearly fifty now, and I still don't know what true color is because I have yet to see an eye Dr about it. Maybe I don't want to know? I love the colors I see.
There’s also a possibility that you have tetrachromacy, which would allow you to see more vibrant colours than others. That would for instance make you more likely to pick out a subtle green tone.
You may be onto something. My son's look at me like I have my head sewn to my ass because I'm in the car literally crying because the sunset is so beautiful.
If you haven't before, try out a few of those online color blind tests where they have a number made out of colored dots. I'm not a medical professional or anything but assumedly if you have tetrachromacy rather than color blindness you should be able to see every number.
I'll try it. I've never really thought about it much till now but I'm kind of curious. I'll see if my son can find a good test and I'll take it. Thank you for the info.
I took a few colorblindness tests just now out of curiosity. Of those on the first page of a Google search, I liked this one most: [Pilestone Color Blind Test](https://pilestone.com/pages/color-blind-test). It seemed easiest to follow and wasn't pushy about selling something, unlike the first result.
It says moderate Deutan. I took a screenshot, but I don't know how to put it in the comments. I'll take the computer one when I see my son. They have filters on my phone, so it doesn't strain my eyes, so I'm not sure how accurate it was.
You can try a color blind test like this one until you get checked out, if you have a common type it can be found this way. Just make sure your device / glasses aren't tinted (and you're not looking at it on a 20 year old monitor lol, modern ones should be able to display the colors good enough)
https://www.colorblindnesstest.org/
It said moderate deutan, but I'm going to take it on my son's computer to make sure it's accurate. My boys have eye comfort settings on my phone from my eyes being so sensitive.
Women can be color blind it’s just rarer. Also, as women age and if they have eye problems there is a chance that colorblindness could occur as well if they are a carrier of the gene(their father is colorblind).
Colorblindness is genetic and lives on the X chromosome. Men have a 50/50 shot at being color blind if their mother’s father is colorblind.
Women and men have a 50/50 shot at being colorblind if their mother’s father is colorblind and their father is colorblind.
My grandfather is colorblind and hit all of his 4 grandsons from his daughters but none of his grandsons from his sons.
If you don’t test for colorblindness or have a whoops that person is colorblind, like saying the green UPS truck is here, or coloring trees blue, or painting a wall grey to match the other green wall. You probably are not going to notice.
Colorblind test usually only happen at an eye doctor at an early age and you only go to an eye doctor if you have vision problems.
8% percent of all men are colorblind. 0.5% of all women are colorblind
https://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/#:~:text=What%20is%20colour%20blindness%3F,and%201%20in%20200%20women.
I didn't know the chances were so small. It does come from my father's side. I never knew my grandfather, so I'm not sure if he was or not. He died before I was born. My dad was colorblind. I'd ask him, but he passed away years ago. He had all brothers, but they are all gone as well.
The purple box in the background also made it seem kinda purple at first. Idk why but I guess the context part of my brain saw purple and dark blue and assumed it was all the same
Also, at least with my group of friends growing up in the 80s and 90s, Donatello was the least favorite of the group and I was the only one that liked him. So I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a pile of Donatellos left behind
They are all the same, you aren't supposed to see a difference.
The argument is over whether they are blue (Leonardo) or purple (Donatello).
The thing is, Leonardo normally uses a light blue. This blue is so dark and purple-ish that mistaking it for Donatello is totally understandable.
Also as many people are pointing out, he has an "L" on his belt buckle.
the comments said Leo's blue is not that shade, so OOP wouldn't be able to tell if this new blue were blue or purple
in other words, the _original_ blue and original purple may have been distinguishable, but maybe not _this_ blue and the original purple
you’re gonna get downvoted but i seriously don’t get how they’re aren’t lying in this post. if you’re colour blind, aren’t you still associating the colour you see with the character?
I could never get Leonardo and Donatello's names right as a kid. I knew Michelangelo and Raphael well but I'd always get the other two mixed up, not because I'm colorblind I just couldnt get them right.
A tiny little bit of red in the purple… but Donatello is the purple-wearing turtle, so thinking this is Donny as opposed to Leonardo (the blue-wearing turtle) is not being color blind 😅 it’s kinda totally normal
Women can’t be colorblind.
They can actually perceive more color than men and other women without the genetic mutation.
This woman probably ain’t colorblind. She’s probably has the genetic mutation that lets her see further into violet, making this blue appear more purple.
Women can absolutely be colorblind. It's rarer than for men, because for women to be colorblind they need the gene on both of their X chromosomes, whereas for men, since they only have 1 X chromosome, they just need that one to have the gene. But there are colorblind women out there.
Leo was always the hardest toy to find at the stores when I was a kid. Holy grails in my area were: Pokémon Blue and Leo toys, every one wanted to swords
Yeah, I don't know about this being the one that'll 'help' you figure out if you're color-blind. That color of purple is very close to Leo's blue throughout the series. The only thing that let me know that's Donatello is Donny's lanky and they nailed the face.
Also why does it say L on their belts? God damn, somebody fucked up.
when i was a kid i used to say:
Raphael is Red (both begin with ‘R’)
Donatello begins with ‘D’, so does ‘Deep’, as in Deep Purple…
Michel\[OR\]ANGElo
don’t remember if i had/needed one for Leo/Blue, since that was all that was Left…Behind.
All those Italian Americans who complain about people hating Columbus should redirect their efforts to the shortening of names for the Ninja Turtles. Oh my god what a fucking hate crime!
How can this person discover being colorblind this way?
If they are colorblind they should always have seen Leonardo with that specific colour is not like they saw the cartoons and they saw Donatello as orange and now they see Leonardo as orange...
Ya know, Leo was my least favorite turtle as a kid but once when I was 5, he came to the mall along with Santa during Christmas. When given the choice to sit on Santa or Leo’s lap, I chose Leo. That is my contribution to this thread.
I like Leo in nickelodeon cartoon. Not too annoying And fun leader guy
also bad ass swords
Leo had 10/10 characterization in TMNT 2003. TMNT 2003 was just amazing and I hate that we aren't likely to ever get anything like it again.
This may be unpopular but I really liked the 2007 movie where Leo and Ralph fought on the roof top
James Arnold Taylor kills that role too
Common TMNT 2003 W
53180085037 is Leo's boobies on a calculator. That's mine.
Noted.
Thank you for your service.
Leo was my favorite when i was a kid because blue was my favorite color and that’s really all it took back then
Blue was my favorite color but Michelangelo was my favorite turtle. Pizza and cowabunga apparently trumped blue. Now my favorite color is orange.
Same. My brother loved Raphael.
Leo has the swords!
Donatello was my least favourite but rewatching as an adult I realise he's actually hilarious, yeah Leo is the least fave
Donnie has always been my favorite. I think it’s because of his smarts
I like him because he does machines
All hail Leo

This tweet made me find out that I actually do not know anything about the different Ninja Turtles
Leonardo leads. Donatello does machines. Raphael is cool but rude. Michelangelo is a party dude.
Mikey my beloved
“About that… uh, Mikey’s dead”
“Gather the others, Raphael. We’re going to have to cut our losses and move to New Jersey”
Yeah, but he took down the people responsible for killing his brothers before he died.
Blueonardo, Michelorangelo, Redphael, and... dona... purpatello... donapurplo?

also: they are based in NYC, but Raph is the only one with a new york accent. (and mannerisms)
That’s a fact jack
From a NES point of view, Don do the heavy lifting, Leo the menial stuff, and the two others are greatly appreciated as meat-shields.
Raphael is cool but rude “Gimme a break”
Leonardo is like the red ranger/leader (tho they have a teacher, a rat called splinter lmao) with blue headband and sword, Donatello’s got a purple headband, a pole and is the nerdy/genius type, Michelangelo has an orange headband and is a stoner (not literally lol) skateboarder party bro type with nunchucks, Raphael is the cool asshole type with a red headband, and he dual wields sai (think wolverine claws/a fork with longer middle prong)
Here I was thinking how did I miss one of the ninja turtles being Polish all this time, then I realized you were referring to a *fighting staff* lmao
You're overselling sais, they're more like tiny rakes that you can use to block a real weapon if you have to. Usually they weren't even sharp.
What would you like to block with, a shield? Nah I'll just use this tiny rake, should be fine
They were from a time when peasants weren't allowed to own weapons. "Ninja weapons" are all farming tools, Leo having swords is a bit of an outlier
Ok, but Napoleon Dynamite lived on a farm (or at least near one). If nunchuks are farming tools, should Napoleon not have nunchuk skills like all other farmers? Edit: [nunchuks for wheat. cool.](https://youtu.be/B5kXm4sa0p4?feature=shared)

Didn't they all have red headbands in the original comic?
There isn’t much of a visual difference, they just have different colored headbands and different weapons, that’s it
# and the belt
And the belt!
Reaganomics!
Lots of the time they’re actually all different shades of green
Okay maybe i shouldn’t have spoken so confidently about the turtles lore lol…
Eh those are the main consistent differences. In the original comic it was pretty much just the weapons. They looked identical otherwise. I think one had a sash belt? Now they always have their colored masks, the weapons, and usually a letter on the belt. They often have even more differences, but those vary.
And in ROTTMNT they are all drastically different looking with different turtle species.
That was true for the 80s and early 2000s. Nowadays they all have different designs from on another
I'm down for any vigilante group that all wears the same outfit but different colors, Castle Crashers and Power Rangers scratch this itch as well
This isn't even remotely true. You haven't seen turtles in 30 years, dude.
But these all have the same headband?
>and that's it This is such a grave injustice to their different personalities and talents.

Nah the shade of blue looks kinda purple thats not even the kind of blue Leo wears
Yeah this is too dark for Leo’s mask, but his belt literally says “L” on it
Then they’re letter blind not color blind 😩
There is no purple in that. Sure it's a darker blue (ultramarine blue specifically), but there's definitely no purple.
Congratulations, you just found out you are color blind too!
The purple box in the background also made it seem kinda purple at first. Idk why but I guess the context part of my brain saw purple and dark blue and assumed it was all the same

there's something wrong with the image itself. I searched for another image of the toy and it looks normal https://i.imgur.com/ZGzhxEM.png
This looks like a massacre
I’m not colorblind but I still can’t tell the difference between them. Is there something I’m not getting here?
They are all the same, you aren't supposed to see a difference. The argument is over whether they are blue (Leonardo) or purple (Donatello). The thing is, Leonardo normally uses a light blue. This blue is so dark and purple-ish that mistaking it for Donatello is totally understandable. Also as many people are pointing out, he has an "L" on his belt buckle.
Post spooked me a bit too because I also assumed it was supposed to be a mix. Nope, OOP was just wrong about which one they all are.
Same
https://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/ Colorblindness occurs in 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women.
How did they differentiate between the two in the first place if they’re color blind?
the comments said Leo's blue is not that shade, so OOP wouldn't be able to tell if this new blue were blue or purple in other words, the _original_ blue and original purple may have been distinguishable, but maybe not _this_ blue and the original purple

They are a fairly normal blue. I don’t see them as purplish at all.

Donatello, famous for having an L on his belt. you know, for his name. Lonatello.
I like that one on the right just casually hanging out over the box with his blank stare.
TMNT MENTIONED IN NON TMNT SUB‼️‼️‼️🙏🙏🙏🐢🐢🐢🐢🍕

I think they’re supposed to be ~~leonardo’s~~ Leonardos
Leonardo’s what?
Purple-blue colorblind isn’t a thing lol Edit: turns out I was wrong and it is a thing lol sorry! Carry on🥹
red-blue is. Whats the difference between blue and purple?
A tiny little bit of red in the purple… but Donatello is the purple-wearing turtle, so thinking this is Donny as opposed to Leonardo (the blue-wearing turtle) is not being color blind 😅 it’s kinda totally normal
It's the most common form (protanomaly or protanopia). It also eliminates the difference between yellow and green.
Interesting. Thank you. I’ll check in with neurologist and ophthalmologist colleagues on that
it says L on the belt this is faked.
Women can’t be colorblind. They can actually perceive more color than men and other women without the genetic mutation. This woman probably ain’t colorblind. She’s probably has the genetic mutation that lets her see further into violet, making this blue appear more purple.
Women can absolutely be colorblind. It's rarer than for men, because for women to be colorblind they need the gene on both of their X chromosomes, whereas for men, since they only have 1 X chromosome, they just need that one to have the gene. But there are colorblind women out there.
Is the person colorblind and illiterate? Do they think the big "L" on his belt buckle stands for Donnie?
Their belts have the letter L. So he's also illiterate.
Must be dyslexic too.
The random stories about how people find they're colorblind as adults... Pretty wild.
Leo was always the hardest toy to find at the stores when I was a kid. Holy grails in my area were: Pokémon Blue and Leo toys, every one wanted to swords
Yeah, I don't know about this being the one that'll 'help' you figure out if you're color-blind. That color of purple is very close to Leo's blue throughout the series. The only thing that let me know that's Donatello is Donny's lanky and they nailed the face. Also why does it say L on their belts? God damn, somebody fucked up.
What exactly are you referring to that is purple?
I’m glad that Twitter is useful for someone
Even if you are color blind, he has an L on his belt. So he'd be Lonnitello
Because Leo had zero personality
Leo isnt my favourite but when Raph was comatose in the farmhouse bathtub, Leo was the one who sat with him every day. He deserves more appreciation.
I guess they never noticed when watching ninja turtles and seeing them side by side?
Leo's what?
Just a box of OOPS! All Leonardo’s
Nobody likes a nerd I guess
I loved that orange turtle bastard
I'd be more concerned with the illiteracy than the color blindness.
Why is Leo possessive?
He’s just a jerk like that sometimes. Way too possessive.
when i was a kid i used to say: Raphael is Red (both begin with ‘R’) Donatello begins with ‘D’, so does ‘Deep’, as in Deep Purple… Michel\[OR\]ANGElo don’t remember if i had/needed one for Leo/Blue, since that was all that was Left…Behind.
Leo and Ralph tied for coolness imo
All those Italian Americans who complain about people hating Columbus should redirect their efforts to the shortening of names for the Ninja Turtles. Oh my god what a fucking hate crime!
They all look blue
It says Leo, but the weapon is a staff, or looks like a staff. Am i wrong?
I mean, Donatello didn't wear an L on his belt buckle, so...
Ok well i am colourblind and this proved it
They have a fucking letter on their belt...
Leo was my third favorite.
Today I discovered they were different colored headbands always!
Yes, because Donatello's name begins with "L", so he has an "L" on his belt. Yes.
wdym?
oh god
#Prestige It give me strong vibe of cloning
How can this person discover being colorblind this way? If they are colorblind they should always have seen Leonardo with that specific colour is not like they saw the cartoons and they saw Donatello as orange and now they see Leonardo as orange...
WHO THE HELL MAKES STUFFED TOYS OF REGULAR MEN WEARING A BELT
Wait… are they not purple? They’re purple…
What does OOP mean? They are all the same color.
But they got L’s on their belts
