#Lou jitsu

[phoebepheebsphibs]

Wait it just dawned on me that my human ROTTMNT au is a lot like SpyxFamily in the sense that everyone has a secret double life in their sweet little family —

Like the boys plus April are secret vigilantes, known as the Red, Blue, Orange, and Purple ninjas

Lou Jitsu is secretly a member of the Hamato clan and is known as the like the Gray Ninja or “the Rat” or something like that

Big Mama is Yoshi’s agent and manager and on the weekends helps to take care of his kids, but on the side she’s this huge crime boss that Yoshi has been hunting down for years

Cass is a double agent betraying the Foot Clan for the guys

And Draxum runs an orphanage but that’s a front for his illegal genetic experiments that he performs on the kids (including Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey)

Part 3 Part 1 // Previous //

Some explain to what happened in the past, I hope it makes sense. Basically Lou Jitsu never brought the rat and never got mutated. What would an action star do with four turtles?

pov: you're a tired ex-actor mutated rat dad who just discovered your toddler mutant (pre-ninja) turtle has unlocked your family's innate mystic gifts including a bunch of untapped powers your Grandpa Sho never bothered mentioning (_ _;)

So, when Leo's around 10-ish, he accidentally stumbles accross a box filled with a bunch of Lou Jitsu movies (there's even some merch in there!) Which confuses him, considering Draxum had banned anything Lou Jitsu related in their household. He'd shown them some footage from Lou's Battle Nexus fights for research purposes, but his movies were appearently "nothing but human propaganda" so they were strictly off limits..... so why did Draxum even have these?

Leo knew that he'd definitely get in trouble if he watched them and his dad found out but.... if this is the guy who appearently kidnapped his Long Lost Brother, then he should know more about him, right? If Leo was gonna save the softshell from the evil clutches of Lou Jitsu one day, he needs to prepare. So he decides to watch the movies, y'know, for research purposes.

So he does that and uh-

Okay, so in this AU, Leo is a HUGE Lou Jitsu fanboy, and he hates himself for it. Cuz on one hand, he's clearly evil and responsible for taking his softshell brother away from them, but DAMMIT he's just so cool! And Leo appearently has this guy's DNA!? How awesome is that!?

He manages to hide his Lou Jitsu obsession from his family, and being introduced to his movies led to Leo seeking out other human media as well. There are a couple of different reasons why Leo is the first to go against Draxums evil plan and one of those is that, unlike his brothers, Leo is quite familiar with human society and culture. Him being able to teleport also leads to him sneaking to the surface sometimes find out more about humans. All of this leads him to eventually realize that humans really aren't that different from yokai, uh oh, are we the baddies?

Pt. 1 Leo, Pt. 2 Raph, Pt. 3 Mikey

Thank you for enjoying this short series of Lou-era Splinter with the baby turtles. I made the initial 3 to cope with some stuff and felt better afterwards, but I decided to complete the set. Anyways, yes, Splinter did get more disheveled as the night went on. And yes, just like me, he'll get his rest now too.

I miss rottmnt so bad

Dropping my rottmnt doodles from late 2023 -> few minutes ago ;D

The fact that Rise gave Splinter not one but TWO love interests will never not be funny to me.

Rise August Art Challenge

-- Day 24: Lou Jitsu --

Day 24 of @sariphantom's Rise August Art Challenge! Leo's resemblance to Lou Jitsu is the most immediately apparent, but each of the turtles really do take after their dad in their own ways.

what do u do when u cant fucking see and all ur babies are green: color code them

[waokevale]

Raph did eventually stop abusing this power. Eventually.

12 years later and Splinter still has yet to lift this privilege.

So I've been agonizing what Raph, Leo and Mikey's names should be in the AU, cuz if Splinter didn't raise them then they Draxum would've been the ones who named them and why would he pick human artist names?

Alas, I am lazy, and I don't wanna spend a bunch of time figuring out alternative names for them, so I quickly thought of an in-universe reason why they all ended up with the same names as in canon lol

(TBF Splinter did immidietly start naming in the show as well, he was just a bit less creative about it)
