April is now black, Raph is now the leader and wields tonfas, and they went pretty crazy with the new designs.

I don't know. He slimmed down and now wields a lightning katana for some reason.

Uh no. Donny still has a staff, may be high tech, but still a staff. Leo has his katana, lightning infused, but a katana. Mikey looks like he has.... A ball on a rope on a stick? Okay you got me there.

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but it seems Leo has a single long katana (an odachi maybe?) rather than his dual ninatos. And Mikey seems to have his weapon from the 87 cartoon, a grappling hook, because nunchaku had a history of violence (they were easily acquired at the time).

Donnie does still use a staff, but it's far more high tech this time around. The whole thing seems to be drawing from the Michael Bay movies for inspiration.

Traditionally they're kinda weak. They're mostly a counter/defensive weapon as opposed to say, just some straight up daggers by my understanding. Which, was always a bit weird on Raph, tbh. I think tonfas do fit him more character-wise.

But Mike with a yo-yo is just silly. Also character-fitting (and used in TMNT2!) but as a useful weapon against Shredder and the foot clean? pffft

Like I said, I don't think it's a yo-yo, I think it's his grappling hook from the '80s cartoon.

At least I hope it's a grappling hook.

Im triggered that none of the turtles are extra curvy, enforcing unattainable standards on the viewing public and shaming people with extra body to love. You can be an athletic ninja with a little extra under the shell

Also bothered by the gender norms they seem to be imposing. Weve had four white male turtles since the 80s, and its time for a switch. Im hoping for a gender fluid/queer Casey and maybe an Asian transgender Splinter.

It looks like a bladed chain mace. Like what Gogo Yubari had in Kill Bill.

I just checked the article in the OP and it states the weapons the turtles use.

I was correct and Leonardo is wielding an odachi, and it says that Mikey's using a kurasi-fundo, which is essentially a Japanese flail.
