Yes, I thought of the same thing too, from what I've seen at the Degrassi Wiki. They have pages not only on relationships, but on notable friendships, for which there is much fertile material in the TMNT multiverse. I actually think it's a fantastic idea, and it would help to merge duplicated family/friends bullets between the articles. Though because it's actually ambiguous (or controversial) in some cases whether a relationship was a friendship or a romance, I'd ultimately suggest keeping the article name wording the same for all those situations as well as relationships of family and enmity. (For example, there's sprinkled references that seem to indicate that Mikey still likes or respects Bradford, despite them being sworn enemies. Mikey keeping and never getting rid of the life-size cardboard cutout of Bradford in his bedroom, for instance.)

Well, Sara and Seri never met each other. Sara happened in volume 3 (when Mike was 18 and 19), and Seri happened in volume 4 (when Mike was in his 30s), and they also have the problem of being mutually non-canonical.

And I never finished reading TMNT Adventures comics (though a friend keeps prodding me to do so someday :), but I don't think Mona was in that comic, and Ninjara was certainly not in the cartoon.

Likewise, Leo and Radical only had a relationship in Mirage that was also mentioned in Image, and never had a romance with Karai in those continuities&mdash;Karai being decades older than Leo and having a teenage daughter of her own. And in the universes where Leo and Karai have had an involvement, there was no relationship with Radical. So, no entanglement there.

And the following are spoilers. Highlight the text if you want to read it, but I highly recommend you don't if you ever want to read them. It should also be noted that all those relationships eventually ended.

Mike and Sara met in Chicago, where mutual interests led to affection and eventually getting to third base before Sara's roommate caught them and kicked him out. After Mike returned to New York, he and Sara started writing each other. Mike had fallen in love with her, and it inspired him to become a romance novel writer. He'd even succeeded in getting a book published, before Sara wrote him, gossiping about her new crush on Dragon, breaking Mike's heart. Sara was just too immature and vapid (or possibly just polyamorous), and any romance they might have hadp&mdash;never actually formally declared&mdash;was doomed from the start.

Mike and the Styracodon Regenta Seri met on Earth where Seri had come as a tourist through the Utrom Transmat. They ditched her bodyguards and toured New England on a motorcycle. Eventually they had sex, and Seri then laid eggs on the beach. But Seri's bodyguards caught and imprisoned Mike and Seri did nothing to free him. He rotted in a Styracodon prison for weeks, being starved and tortured. He eventually escaped with the help (and tragic death) of his Triceraton cellmate and friend, and was rescued that planet by a team of Triceraton commandos that had come to rescue Mike's cellmate. Mike then joined forces with the Triceratons in a war of genocide against the Styracodons, where he became an accomplice in exterminations of Styracodon civilians. Mike is driven by heartbreak, hatred and a desire to take revenge on Seri and every last Styracodon. That's as far as that story got before volume 4 was cancelled, though it gets intermittent updates in web-published issues on Peter Laird's TMNT blog. Very dark though.

Raph and Ninjara were actually living together as lovers for much of TMNT Adventures, including sharing the same bedroom and bed in the Turtle Lair. But they decided to break up in one of the last issues. The writers planned for them to get back together, but not before that comic series was cancelled.

And Radical...was killed. Radical was actually a mortal human Native American woman from the Southwest, and actually nothing like her Transdimensional TMNT stats&mdash;those were non-canonically invented on the spot by Palladium Books staff. The Tales V2 issue "Swan Song" is about Leo and Radical's relationship and true love, Radical's sudden death, and Leo struggling hard for the rest of his life to deal with what happened as he never stopped loving her.
