Dude... calm yourself.

You apparently haven't read my last comment, because you aren't saying anything much different than what I said.

I did in fact see Return to NY and I know that Splinter's "body" was technically alive, but who's to say that the "Splinter" part of him didn't die and his body wasn't reincarnated with an actual rat? The only character's in fiction I can think of off the top of my head that have been able to volentarily seperate their spirit from their bodies are Negetive Man and Raven from DC Comics, and it's been established that if their physical and spiritual forms are seperate for too long, their body dies unless they another being takes control of it. That was just my initial theory, and unless Splinter has supernatural powers (which is EXTREMELY hard to argue against after what we've seen him do in this show), I don't see how any other logical explanation for it. But then again, his is a show about human-sized turtles who use ninja moves to fight crime, so what do I know.

That said, I don't know why we're talking about Return to NY on a thread focused on Requiem and Owari. Can we have some time to mourn Splinter, please?
