Everyone knows the TMNT's distinctive weapons, but Raphael & Michelangelo originally used different equipment. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 9, it's shown that Raph originally fought with a tonfa, while Mikey wields a manriki-gusari.
Everyone knows the distinctive weaponry of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but how many fans know their original ninja weapons? An issue of the original black-and-white series depicts an early mission before the Turtles were fully seasoned, and a few hadn’t settled on their trademark weaponry.
Ask any kid on the street, and they’ll be able to tell you each Turtles’ distinctive weapon without missing a beat: Leonardo uses the katana swords, Donatello a bo staff, Michelangelo the nunchaku and Raphael has a pair of sai. Considering the original designs for the Turtles had them all wearing identical red masks, giving them each their own weaponry so readers would be able to tell them apart from each other was a masterstroke.Yet, this wasn’t always the case.
The TMNT Originally Had Different Weapons In spite of being different weapons than fans are used to seeing, Michelangelo and Raphael make good use of them throughout the issue. The two weapons used look great in action, with Michelangelo's manriki-gusari being particularly versatile in the way it can be used at both close- and long-range.
The TMNT’s Raphael Strikes With The Tonfa Of course, Michelangelo and Raphael would eventually settle on the familiar weapons known to casual observers and hardcore fans alike. In author notes to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimate Collection Vol. 2, co-creator Kevin Eastman states, "We had Don with the staff, and Leo using the swords - but we hadn’t had Mike and Raph zero in on their trademark choice yet... but they were close.
