Leonardo (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Leonardo is a red-eared slider turtle who was mutated to become part human. He is one of the main protagonists of the 2018 TV series, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Typically wielding twin katana, he spent most of the series using a single, magic ōdachi with the ability to create portals.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Rather than the usual, Leonardo becomes the leader, We can see how he became the leader and is given excellent character development.
 * 2) Has amazing and well detailed animated design.
 * 3) His voice actor, Ben Schwartz, does a brilliant performance, making him sound like power.
 * 4) His weapon and skills tend to get better as the show progressed. At start, he does a bad job, but improves for the better.
 * 5) His one liner's (while cringey at times) are absolutely hilarious to listen to.
 * 6) Whenever he does something wrong, he always owns up and decides to fix his mistake.
 * 7) As shown in the Season 2 Finale, he deeply cares about his friends and family, and hates seeing them in danger.
 * 8) He finally becomes the leader at the end of Season 2. Despite being rushed (due to Executive Meddling), he is given the reward he deserves.

The Only Bad Qualities

 * 1) He starting out as not the leader, did throw off fans.
 * 2) As mentioned in WIR 5, his one-liners are funny, but can get tiring very fast.
