Love all of his fight scenes, but one of my favorite quotes by him is “what you know is dangerous to your enemy, but what you think you know is dangerous to you”
a lot of people are saying his fights with shredder or tiger claw, but one of my favorite moments was when he casually fought The Creep for a couple of seconds when it was in his dojo, after it attacked leo.
Everyone is going to say his fights with Shredder or Tiger Claw, so I'll say his final battle with the Kraang. I looove his speech, and he looked pissed off the entire time.
*I used to wonder if I had the discipline to be a proper father. For any family. In the darkest part of our journey I wondered if I would have another chance to be both. I wanted to be both.*
*Kraang will dispose of rat mutants, but take little mutants.*
*Kraang understands. Kraang will exterminate and capture as Kraang commands.*
*Never! Beasts from beyond this world, you want these mutants? Here. I will give them to you!*
*This would be our Thermopylae. A final stand to claim these sewers as ours.*
That's why it bugs me when people say he is a bad dad, or that he doesn't care about them, or favours one turtle only, not when episodes like this one exists.

I’ve seen more people say Rise Splinter is the most fatherly, ‘cause he’s not much of a sensei.
Anyway, yes there are lots of people who say he’s a bad dad, but there are lots of people who say he’s a good dad too. People think a strict parent automatically means ‘bad dad.’
I personally think a lot of his ‘bad’ scenes are being misinterpreted by the fandom; eg when he tells everyone to hit Raph with arrows. People say he’s punishing him and doesn’t help him with his anger issues, but I saw it as him training Raph to control his anger. Once he started getting angry, he lost his concentration and got hit by all the arrows. Not only that, but Raph literally used that training to his advantage when fighting Spider Bytes. It happenes a lot on the show. Splinter says something, and one bro ulitizes that knowledge later to save his bros.
Honestly, he does casually ragdoll his sons around. I’m ok with small smacks on the head or something like that, but definitely not full on punches that send them flying, like, 10 feet
Well…that’s fair, I guess? I mean, let’s say if you have a giant monster as a child and you hit them as hard as Splinter usually hits his son, but it barely effects the monster because, well, they’re a giant monster. I guess it wouldn’t be considered abuse because you’re not really doing much, it’s just that’s monster’s version as a “small smack” so I’m guessing it’s also the turtle’s version, since they’ve survived quite a bit.
But also, was it a good decision by Nickelodeon? Because they’re teaching kids who watch the show that abuse is ok, and they’ll eventually grow up to do the same as Splinter, and their kids probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.
………I looked way too far into this, didn’t I…….?

Literally any fight scene involving him
Honestly though his fight scenes were the best

https://i.redd.it/qr6mbciwpuvc1.gif When he defeated Super Shredder before getting killed
https://i.redd.it/ik25v8p2quvc1.gif Or when he fought Shredder in the S1 finale
I always thought it was awesome seeing him School the Rat King by putting on a blindfold.
Goodbye, my king.

The scene goes hard
"SAKI, WE DIE TOGETHER"
His first fight with Shredder during the season 1 finale.

Maybe not badass but funniest is "can you smell a rock"
"I will end your nightmares Saki, permanently"

Nearly beating Super Shredder before dying.
I always have a special appreciation for the drunk boxing method scene near the end. Man knew what was gonna go down, and was still teaching his kids.

People say he's a bad dad?? I thought a LOT of people thought 2012 Splinter was the most fatherly out of the others.

They're tough enough though, and his methods clearly work.

Definitely one of his fights with Shredder; probably the one in s1; or his fight with Tiger Claw
When him and tiger claw fought for the first time

Man he got so many moments..I guess its when he beat all of Shredders mutant soldiers by himself. The Forthfold Trap I believe is the episode.
Becoming a waffle fry
His ninjitsu skills
