The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about.When teenage reporter April O’Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren’t the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April’s visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can’t be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!Working with acclaimed manga publisher Viz Entertainment, IDW is pulling together two of the most popular comics in the world to bring you the four-issue comic book event of 2024!“I’m stoked and humbled to get to work with the coolest talent in comics and manga to introduce the ninja created by my heroes in a massive mutagen and chakra-fueled adventure for fans everywhere," Goellner tells IGN. "What else can you call it but an honor? Let’s party."Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto #1 will be released on November 13, 2024.
>>269084736https://www.ign.com/articles/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-naruto-crossover-comic-idw-vizThe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book line is having a banner year in 2024. Not only is IDW kicking off a star-studded relaunch of the monthly TMNT series and continuing the Last Ronin saga, now they're gearing up for a crossover with one of the biggest anime and manga properties on the planet. That's right, the heroes of TMNT and Naruto are joining forces.
>>269084736who asked for this comic
>>269084736wait so a shared universe?
>>269084736>comic written and drawn by westerners How is this /a/ again? we don't get threads for /a/ video games so this has no place here.
>>269084849You didn't?
>>269084849Me.
Don't bother, dude. Just...don't bother.
>>269085147Cope and seethe. It's written by one of the IDW Sonic writers, and those guys were so much better than the japs at writing that they were basically given the keys to that franchise a few years back. Hopefully the same happens here so they can make aBorution not canon.
>>269084736I mean, I'm sure some people really wanted this to happen, but it's a bit late to capitalize on Naruto's popularity, isn't it?
>>269086156I still see shitloads of merchandise. More than stuff for Boruto, actually.
>>269086047Have the nips ever written anything non comedy for sonic? Anyways, idw’s writers are shit and modern western comics never have good writing anyways.
>>269086156Kinda. Maybe Shueisha is finally realizing that forcing Boruto isn't working.
>>269086184>Have the nips ever written anything non comedy for sonic?Adventure 1 and 2, 06, Forces, parts of Sonic X...
>>269086156Honestly I don't know who's capitalizing off of whose popularity here. The turtles have been having a stellar year, relatively speaking.
>>269084736>all the collaborators are american comic artistswho fucking gives a shit? American comics are dogshit with terrible art and even worse writing
>>269084736So did the otsutsuki clan create the turles / mutagen
not a manga>>>/co/
>>269086047>sonic>good writing
>>269086386No, they just sorta...exist. Its an AU where the TMNT cast have apparently always been there.
>>269086430Can't discuss it there, they're too busy seething at April being black (even though she's black half the time nowadays, you'd think they would've gotten used to it by now)
>>269086565lol they made April black in this piece of shit? Fucking top kek
>>269085911good
So is this /a/ or /co/?
>>269088734Both.
>>269086279It's TMNT. Comics are dying so they're branching out into animanga.
>>269084736OnePiecebros....where is our crossover?
>>269088734It's an american comic no jap has anything to do with it it doesnt belong here.
>>269086279Naruto. Boruto cratered Naruto's popularity and value, while Turtles are printing money.
>>269089029Naruto is Japanese btw.
>>269089035If that was true, Nardo would get no merch, games, etc. Boruto had no impact since it's so hated.
>>269084736Fouled up by having this dumb orange ninja in it.
>>269089105what do you have against Michaelangelo?
>>269084736>Hendry PrasetyaOk, I'll buy it
>Orichimaru, Kabuto, Shredder and Krang having wacky comedy routines in the technodrome.Sign me up
>>269089135The other, non-turtle, orange ninja.Seriously...I used to like Naruto like every other kid back when it was all the craze. But it all went to shit after the 1st timeskip after the whole trying to get Sasuke back arc.And don't get me started on the damn revelation that everything about the whole chakra stuff is literally thanks to aliens. Nothing mystical. Nothing actually supernatural.Just LOL ALIENS.FUCK THAT. I liked the pre-serialization pilot chapter more than the serialized version. At least there was a promise that it would've gone into the whole Japanese folklore with yokai considering in the original version, Naruto was in reality a fox yokai here instead of a ninja.
>>269089487There's a reason they're using pretimeskip designs. Mid-2000s nostalgia is kicking in, and Naruto was a big part of that time period for a lot of people. You're not gonna see Shippuden nostalgia pandering because that's when the series fell off the pop culture zeitgeist.
>>269084736COWABUNA DUDE
Will any of the turtles score?
No character sheet for Donnie, Leo and Shredder yet
Now let the shitposting begin
>>269090880N
>>269090880Just like chouji, my favorite treat is chocolate
>>269090880I
>>269084736>westoid garbage comics so desperate for attention that they've turned to begging japanese artists to add their characters for crossoversI've never seen an entire industry give up and bend the knee so badly before. I used to make fun of western comics for getting outsold by manga but this is just sad.
>>269084736It's over, human boys can't compete.
>>269090992https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OuUwLr20qIDoes it just shrink into the shell or something when it's not erect or does it just drag that thing all over the place?
>>269091054To quote Elaine Benes, it shrinks.
>>269084736Leave Sakura for Raikage
>>269090181>when the series fell off the pop culture zeitgeist.>he says when the aktasuki robes are one of the most iconic designs
Can the mods please ban this /co/ shit?
>>269092014It’s on a Japanese anime property tho
>>269084736>Anbu Black OpsNeat
>>269092014But Naruto?
>>269090181What the fuck??Akatsuki cloaks are the single most recognizable thing from anime, retard. Shippuden is far bigger than Part 1 and always was. Literally never fell off
>>269090136Hello pajeet!
>>269084736How did April and the turtles even entered the Narutoverse? Do they both share the same universe in this comic? DOES NYC EXIST IN NARUTO? This description really sounds like fanfiction.
>>269093267Sounds like it an AU where the turtles were always there. They've done it before.
>>269084736Cancer. Thank fuck there's almost nothing for westernshit to pollute besides shonenshit. Hot school age girls that want sex and give fanservice alone help gatekeep it out.Yes, I enjoyed the Fox cartoon. Shredder being alien is retarded.
>>269090880Black April will awaken something in Choji and inevitably cause him to marry Karui.
https://x.com/WuYella/status/1814665475369968098So Kishimoto was down for it a decade ago
>>269084736>>>/co/
>>269093550>Hot school age girls that want sex and give fanservice alone help gatekeep it out.Er, what now?
>>269084736>naruto anythingwho gives a fuck>gaijin slopkill yourself
>>269084736yooo this is hell sweet. maybe we can hinata get PHIBIANED
>>269084849I did.
>>269090880really boring design, black or not. lazy.
>>269084736Who are going to be the villains in Naruto's side? Orochimaru?
>>269086882YesAnd all because of fucking {{{seth}}} {{{rogen}}} shitty turtles movie that bombed hard
>>269086248>>269086184>>269086047Japanese Sonic was better for writing. The Genesis/CD/32X titles were light on writing, so those don't count for either side.But Adventure 1/2, Shadow, Heroes, and 06, for all their faults as games, have strong writing for games in their genre (and honestly, games in general at the time). There's complete arcs, interesting narrative beats and developments, actual tangible themes going on, etc.Then Sonic took a nose dive off a cliff into just trying to be like every other shitty platformer and ultimately gave the games zero redeeming values instead of one. >b-but muh western comic writerI don't care what some fat fuck wrote in a comic nobody read. The only good western Sonic is Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Tamers12345.
>>269093840>The only good western Sonic is Adventures of Sonic the HedgehogI like you. You can come over and fuck my sister.
>>269093825She was black before in that Rise cartoon. Which they really hoped would be bigger than it was.
>>269086204>Maybe Shueisha is finally realizing that forcing Boruto isn't working.It will have been 9 years to the day since Boruto the movie in a couple weeks.The Boruto TV anime ran for SIX YEARS and 293 EPISODES with a planned SEQUEL in production. The manga ran for SEVEN YEARS and TWENTY VOLUMES with an ONGOING SEQUEL.You are RETARDED if you think Shueisha would've only now noticed if the current flagship of one of their largest IPs was shitting the bed. This is the same publisher that literally axed Saint Seiya so Kurumada could make another breakout hit (literal reason why), and then cancelled his next manga in two volumes. They don't just let shit that isn't working sit around and take up valuable time and resources for A DECADE.
>>269093661Anything with hot, lewd characters under the heckin' age of consent filters out normalfaggots and prevents any shitty crossovers like this.
>>269093966
>>269094059It's a promotional manga run in another magazine. The real money comes from everything else.
>>269089449its IDW Shredder, not 2003 that would be literally Satan unleashed on Naruto, or Kino 87 TV Shredder and Krang.None of bebop and rocksteady bringing orochimaru insane because they are too dumb even to be killed by jutsu
Shredder will be black and he will kidnap Hinata
>>269086204I will not get that impression unless they cancel the Boruto manga or get rid of Ikemoto and get a better artist and writer.
>>269094149
>>269093995But Naruto has hot, lewd characters under the age of consent??
>>269094298No, it doesn't.
>>269086156I still see people wearing Naruto shirts. Not just nostalgic adults either, but kids and teens who most likely missed out on it>>269086173sameTons of merch but it's like Boruto doesn't exist
>>269094551>>269086173lolno, naruto is dead, kids only know naruto through boruto and nobody likes boruto
>>269086882April is not white in the original TMNT comic
>>269094298Not until Boruto and that’s only in the mangaAlso Boruto is trash so no one wants to crossover with that anyway
>>269084849>>269085911>>269093706Us.
>>269094820Of course. "We" always wanted "these two" facing off.
>>269092128It's still /co/shit, retard.
>>269086047Kill yourself, retarded tourist.>>>/co/
>>269092932Naruto's results are heavily biased because it's also the name of the franchise
Be kind of fun, since this is more than likely a one off, if they did one off covers to depict What if Naruto future events with the turtles>Sage Naruto arrives to stop peon>Turtles are with them, but they also mastered their “Rise” powers
>>269095846Counterpoint is Sasuke right there as well as Kakashi not too far away.
>>269090581All of them
>>269086156Sort of, not really. Naruto is in it's nostalgia phase, so everyone is sucking it off. Naruto and ninja turtles collab shoud've ben done around 2007-2010.
>>2690941562003 shredder wouldnt work, aliens in naruto that'd be retarded
>>2690982182003 shredder would be evil even for kaguya's standards, both Chrell and Oroku Saki the Tengu ShredderHe would steal her power and instead of eternal dreamsleeve, it would be perfect mental control and he as the Tengu Shogun of all Ninja, or erase everything if he fails to do so, he is one of the few mofos who are immune to talk no jutsu.
>>269098372remember ch'rell was fine with wiping out the whole multiverse, himself included as long as the turtles died
>>269086156Boruto is surprisingly popular and Naruto is still airing “new episodes” on toonami so it almost makes sense to do this. I’m honestly just shocked we STILL haven’t gotten a proper Spider-man crossover with the turtles
>>269098454>we STILL haven’t gotten a proper Spider-man crossover with the turtles>not daredevilfor gods sake tmnt implied the ooze was the same stuff that blinded daredevil
>>269098394Exactly, he is insane enough to pull this in naruto.
>>269092932How the fuck is Sakura more popular than vegeta
>>269093306>>269093267So I think the key here is that it really should be an Usagi crossover, but it’s just not popular enough
>>269098501True, but I’m a bigger spidey fan and I’m fairly certain the writers were intentionally satirizing millers style of writing when making TMNT
>>269098454>Boruto is surprisingly popularOnly the anime and that's on hiatus.
>>269098524Sakura has jobbed way less.
If Tsunade is Hokage and Sasuke hasn't betrayed the village yet does this mean this takes place in the middle of Sasuke having his fight with Naruto outside the hospital? Or is this like the Dragonball Z OVA's where canonically the events that happen in them don't make sense with the arcs actually happening week to week Because it's gonna be really fucking strange that right in the middle of the Sound Tribe coming to pick up Sasuke Shredder and gang get confused thinking this is Japan but it's way out of their depth
>>269094059>never has a hokage naruko appearanceaBORTion was always doomed
>>269090880Looks like a lightning village girl. Where is casey
>>269092932I'm very surprised that JJK isn't on there
>>269093995You are so new it hurts. Everyone and their dog liked Gurren Lagann (I know you haven't seen that one because you do not prefer 'retro anime') and that had a 14 year old with her tits out front and center each episode.
>>269092986how did this happen?
>>269093966Based
>>269098524more people hate her
>>269098715In the anime, Sasuke recovered in the hospital and went on missions with Team 7 before getting sent to the hospital again. In the manga, Sasuke left the village right after Tsunade became Hokage.
the frog summoning will be retconned into turtle?
>>269098944But this still implies that the fight at the Hospital happened. It's not canonically accurate unless there is some weird tension between Sasuke and Naruto.>Raph: What's his problem>Naruto: Got in a fight with him. Only reason I didn't win is because Kakashi sensei stepped in>Leo: You should chill. What if someday he doesn't wanna be your teammate anymore?>Sasuke: I've been thinking about it >Sakura: He's a little cranky he doesn't mean that
>>269096281counterpoint:naruto us at 289b while sauce is at 63b.that's a big difference. big enough to say naruto is being hard carried by his series' name
will they use him?
>>269099179If Tsunade is Hokage that means Gaara is redeemed and he's preparing to go back to the Leaf Village to save Rock Lee from getting his ass killed Bro could you imagine if this was just a retelling of the Sasuke Retrieval Arc but instead of Kiba, Choji, Neji and Shikamaru Naruto is like "I need a squad of 4 and you're all perfect"
>>269099259>Bro could you imagine if this was just a retelling of the Sasuke Retrieval Arc but instead of Kiba, Choji, Neji and Shikamaru Naruto is like "I need a squad of 4 and you're all perfect"i could see it happening.that's one of the best arcs too.can't wait to see gaara get confused by michelangelo or some shit
>>269099259that would be funny as fuck
>>269099144No, the fight in the hospital can't happen because Sasuke left at night afterwards.This comic is just in the anime filler-verse where it didn't happen yet.
>>269099920>Mikey is the one who stays behind to fight Kimimaro>Gaara shows up and sees a giant talking turtle fighting some genetic mutant who grows bones all over his body>Hey Sandman would really appreciate it if you helped me not die right now >You found a Sound Ninja with Nunchaku?>You people keep using the word ninja I don't think you understand what that word means
>>269099259>Comic becomes "The Sound 4 vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
>>269100219Raph would beat Jirobo. It would be kino as fuck >I don't give a damn about your ugly looking body tattoo come at me
>>269100189That's even worse. This should have been like Zabuza / Pre-Chunin Exam this is the worst possible time for the Turtles to be here What is Shredder turning in a job application for the Akatsuki?
>>269100283Shredder might be teaming up with Orochimaru with an agreement that he will get Sasuke for him while Orochimaru takes care of the turtles.
>>269100340>Now remember we don't wanna make it look like we're pressing Sasuke into doing this you gotta make it look natural>What happens if this plan fails?>We go with the Sound Tribe. Always have a plan B
>>269084736>Black AprilAgain with this meme
>>269084736TMNT really has fall so low. Can't believe they'd crossover with Naruto. No quality standards anymore.
>>269090880Oh so I got excited for nothing. Yeah I'm not reading this shit. Tsunade is probably gonna get niggified too. Fuck this shit man.
>>269098715I think it’s safe to say this isn’t canon. Or you can say it’s anime/movie canon. Ie filler.I’m pretty sure a series that ended in 2016 didn’t plan for a crossover in 2024
>>269100219>Turtles vs Sound 4>that’s when they first activate their “Rise powers”Kino
>>269101045They go full mutant like the red skies season
>>269101045>Gai teaches the Turtles Taijutsu>Teaches them the Leaf Hurricane >Teaches them about the 8 Gates>Teaches them about the Dynamic Entry
>>269089006One piece will be crossing over with batman (he goes in after the suicide squad but ends up in the wrong fantasy universe)
>>269101390Personally would go One Piece and Avatar the Last Airbender.Batman should be Lupin the Third.
>>269101440>Batman should be Lupin the Third.I hereby formally rescind my post in favour of this suggestion
>>269090880At this point I think there are more negro April incarnations than there are white Aprils.
>>269099149Not when Sasuke alone has the same as Luffy and more than anybody else.If the 2nd popular character is that high, then the MC is double that
>>269093550Naruto is GODnenKINO
>>269094191boruto anime makes a lot of money. not that guy tho
Damn that's definitely AI art
>>269101567>the 2nd popular character is that high, then the MC is double thatnaruto is more than double that though...126b would be double.
I doubt it will happen, but what if this leads to a TMNT rep in Storm connections.In return, we can get Naruto in Shredder’s revenge
>>269101567how do you think tags work?guess what the first results on r34 are when i searched up naruto?one was orochimaru x anko and naruto wasnt even in the picture.
>>269084736I know /co/fags are used to this modern IP crossover slop but get it the fuck out of here.>>>/co/
>>269101778dunno what that is
>>269102740porn site
reminder that sand spooks aren't people
So obviously, this will be just a team 7/turtles team up.Theoretically, sequel would have more. Perhaps the rest of the leaf genin plus Mutanimals
>>269103204see>>269102789
>>269090880What's up with those Cheetos hair?
>>269084736This could be awesome. Both series were cool and since the Turtles don't have magic, they'll take it back to early Naruto when it focused more on more down to earth ninja shit.
>>269101390 I think a crossover between them could be great. Their dynamic would be similar to Luffy and Law's one. On the other hand, They could even make the Joker seethe with jealousy by showing Batman laughing at one of Luffy's antics
So are we gonna see Turtle Jutsu?
>>269084736GREEN LOVERShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmOUDf8ufbQ
>>269090880at least she's not ugly? i mean it's still a retarded change
>>269084736TMNT keeps getting uglier and more cringe after the 2003 show.every new installment makes them look more retarded with puke-inducing """"comedy""""
>>269094168>Shredder is black>it's Dark Devil Shredder
>>269101562I thought she was Black in the original.
>>269101045I didn’t watch the latest cartoon and just saw clips online. Aren’t these Rise versions morse suited for Shippuden Power Levels?
>>269106513no she just had a big 80s perm but people post it disingenuously out of context.
>>269106544When they 100% their powers, they would be shippuden. At first, Leo can xreate teleport holes, and Mikey has flames. Donnie doesn’t get his actual powers until the end.From a story perspective, the Idea would be they get their imperfect powers during the sound four, but wouldn’t master them until the Sage Naruto vs Pein
>>269084849Probably tmnt licence owners. It's impressive how the best days for the series gone decades ago, but they are continue producing cheap cartoon and crossovers
>Naruto/TMNT goes all out>remake of Naruto the Last >Naruto, Sasuke and Turtles vs Otsutsuki Krang>Turtle Saint and Kurama Susanoo tag team
>>269084736Why the fuck is this allowed on /a/? Game threads based on anime are deleted but this fucking gaijin slop where not a single japanese person is involved can stay? What the actual fuck? Do you have any fucking consistency, janny?
>>269107725>Game threads based on anime are deletedShould that be allowed.
>>269106250nothing will ever be as bad as that one live action movie
>>269107725naruto, a jp ip, is involved.you don't like it? fuck off
>>269084736https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEHwMnSg8Jo>It's real.This editing is wild.
>>269107839Sonic is a Japanese IP, but we don't allow threads for Archie or IDW comics either. Get the fuck out, you retarded cancer.
>>269107725Last I remember, Dragon Ball getting /co/shit was deleted as well. Don't stand for this.
>>269107725>Consistency>on this site.Where do you think you are?
The Turtles should crossover with Ranma 1/2. I imagine the Turtles and Shreddar assuming the Jusenkyo Springs are mutagen.
>>269084736We need Sakura fat juicy ass
>>269109177Anyone wanna go down a rabbit hole?https://youtu.be/iXDML04bIBo?si=7PWty6eRkXIWIlCg
>>269084736batman
>>269090852Which Splinter he is? Reminds me of the original cartoon mixed with 2002's one
>>269110370Based, time for lolikura to make a return
>>269100450But she's a redhead and a hot adult, so the complainers got something
>>269101562I'm pretty sure it's even. 80's cartoon, 4kids, the Shredder game, and Nick 2012 had a white April, while Rise, Mutant Mayhem, and this have a Black April. Mirage is mixed race.
>>269113472The Shredder game is 80s cartoon. Theres also the Archie comic, the movies, and...sigh...the Coming Out of Their Shells concert...
>>269109040naruto is a jp manga. tmnt is crossing over with it.sonic never had a jp manga, only western comics, brain damaged troglodyte
>>269115175>sonic never had a jp mangaActually...
Since this is a /co/ thread, are any of the post 80s TMNT cartoons worth watching?
>>269115515The 4kids one, at least until season 5.
>>269115175Amy and Charmy come directly from a Japanese Sonic manga.
>>269115319>>269116060then the jp manga would be allowed here
>>269113472Mirage is white, she just had big 80's hair in some issues which zoomers confused for BLACK HAIR but in the original First edition colored comics and colored covers, April is white.
>>269116737Good to know.
