Are you ready for a full on Turtle power breakdown
of your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja heroes?
Booyakasha!
We're looking at none other
than the brave leader in blue, Leonardo.
He was a baby pet turtle until a container
of mystery ooze spilled on Leo
and his three brothers, causing them to mutate
into some adorable turtle tots.
Named after their father's favorite Renaissance artists
and raised in the ways of the ninja.
Leo and his brothers grew up
to be lean green fighting machines.
Leonardo is the appointed leader of his team of brothers.
I made you leader for a reason.
What is that reason?
That is for you to discover on your own.
And along with wearing his iconic blue bandana,
Leo gives off serious heroic vibes.
Behind the mask he has fern green skin
and cobalt blue eyes.
Leo!
Except when going full ninja stealth mode,
and they turn solid white.
Leo is always ready to fight with his brown pads
and tape wrapped hands and fee.
Perfect for beating up baddies
and slapping high threes with his bros.
But when the mission requires him to amp it up,
Leo will rock a cool alt costume,
like his sweet spacesuit.
Mr. Crankshaw, set phasers to destruction.
Kicking butt and looking stylish while doing so.
While on a vision quest, he also wore
an all white armor set.
We'll be challenged in the spirit realm,
when we meet our ultimate fate.
And when it's time to get serious,
Leo goes all out in black.
As the leader in blue, Leo will do anything it takes
to get his ninjas through.
Gentlemen, I have a bold and daring plan.
There's no time for hesitation. My orders must be carried out
without questions.
Guys? Guys, wait up.
And while a ninja's appearance is important...
Now we're getting somewhere.
...being in charge is a task Leonardo takes seriously.
I don't know what that means.
Go around back.
Why didn't you just say so?
His main weapon of choice is an extension of himself,
dual katana swords.
Leo masterfully wields his katanas
with skill and precision,
slicing through almost anything in his path.
He has perfected using his two swords to defend against evil.
[grunting]
And hidden away in the handles of his katanas...
[grunting]
...are some secret tanto blades when all else fails.
His intense training makes him the most skilled fighter
out of his three brothers.
[grunting]
Well, Leo won it this time.
But when his blades aren't strong enough,
Leo switches to a high tech laser sword alternative.
How cool is that?
Even if you take away his sword, that won't slow him down.
[grunting]
[groaning]
It is time we end this... turtle.
I agree.
He is a world class archer
and dangerous with a bow and arrow.
[grunting]
[groaning]
As impressive as Leo's accuracy is
with a bow, he's just as accurate
with his ninja throwing stars.
[grunting]
So we know Leonardo is a great fighter,
but that's not all he's capable of.
He has some very unique skills.
As an expert in ninjutsu,
Leonardo is also masterfully gifted in hand to hand combat.
Leo's strength, speed and agility are
off the charts, too.
Wow.
He is the most spiritually connected turtle
out of his brothers.
Sha. Rin.
Kai. Jin. Retsu. Zai. Zen.
Meditating and learning the special skill of healing.
[grunting]
[screaming]
[grunting]
But there's more to being a leader
than having cool healing powers.
Snake bite is worse than the worst.
So what makes Leonardo a great leader?
Leo is brave...
[grunting]
hard working... honorable and a role model
for the entire team.
I just want to be a good leader. You know?
A true leader doesn't always impose his will
but
He loves his family more than anything
and takes responsibility of keeping them safe seriously.
[laughing]
[screaming]
But Leo can be a perfectionist,
sometimes trying too hard and overthinking things.
Leo, think rationally.
You can't bring down their mothership
with a scoutship.
[screaming]
Putting his friends and family before himself.
[grunting]
- Leo! - After him! Quick!
Do something, Donnie.
Stand back. [screaming]
You gotta chill out, man.
Enough of the crazy one man missions.
Guys.
Just don't do that again.
I'm just glad you're alive, bro.
Leonardo is the most well balanced ninja
out of his brothers, and his disciplined nature,
along with his incredible martial arts skills
make him the perfect leader.
You've succeeded.
Not everything is super serious with Leonardo.
Like everyone else, he has his hobbies
and relatable moments.
Are there other talking turtles like you?
Nope. Uh-uh. Just me. Mr. Imaginary Turtle.
[grunting, rumbling]
Having... tea time?
[grunting]
Uh... next time I'll bring the tea.
Bye, Mr. Turtle.
He loves binge watching bad TV.
Open the airlock.
[wind blowing]
You have to be the only person
in the world who likes this show.
No way.
There are millions of Space Nicks out there.
And playing video games.
No! So close.
You did well, my son. Now watch a real sensei at work.
He's even into skateboarding.
Nice!
Booyakasha!
What is going on in here?!
Sensei. [screaming]
How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the lair?
You're right, sensei.
We definitely should have known better.
And what do you think would be a fitting punishment?
Well, we- we should... clean up our mess?
And, of course...
- I'll take the rest. - No way. - Uh-uh.
Pizza. Leo's also been known to break the rules
every now and then.
I am not willing to risk your lives.
Aye, sensei.
No, Splinter's wrong. We can't wait.
Let's do this.
Maybe, the stoic leader has a bigger rebellious side
than we thought.
Karai, it's us.
Leo?
Took you long enough.
Is this a rescue or a romantic comedy? Come on.
Interesting relationships aside, it doesn't take away
from Leonardo's incredible qualities.
Foot clan? You guys just made my night.
Let's see him in action in one of his most epic battle,
showcasing all his skills we've discussed
that truly make him the leader in blue.
[honking]
[screaming]
[growling]
We've got to distract it away from the people!
You're going down, Mega Shredder!
[grunting]
It's no doubt Leonardo can do it all.
[growling]
Booyakasha!
[grunting]
[screaming]
[burping]
Mikey!
And as the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.
[grunting]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[screaming]
There's no doubt that this leader is a hero.
But what makes Leonardo truly legendary
is knowing his family is always there to back him up.
[cracking]
Cowabunga!
Mikey. I can't believe it.
Booyakasha!
Fire!
