In the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, gardening tools are created by Todd Capybara in "Finale Part 3: Anatawa Hitorijanai".
Description[]
The gardening tools forged are a pair of hand cultivators with red handles, a wire saw with orange handles, a purple hoe with a purple handle, and a pair of trowels with blue handles.
History[]
In "Finale Part 2: Shreddy or Not", the Turtles fled the city and sought refuge at Cuddle Cakes Puppy Rescue on Long Island with their friend Todd Capybara.
In "Finale Part 3: Anatawa Hitorijanai", Todd—who proved himself a capable blacksmith—forged gardening tools to replace the Turtles' lost weapons, knowingly reasoning that the ancient ninja were originally simple farmers who used gardening tools as improvised weapons. Although the Turtles were ignorant to said history.
Though seemingly useless, these gardening tools proved effective stand-ins for weapons made tangible with the power of Hamato Ninpō in "Finale Part 4: Rise" which Hamato Karai and April O'Neil taught to the Turtles. Through this technique, the gardening tools instead took the battle form of sai for Raphael, katana for Leonardo, a bō for Donatello, and nunchaku for Michelangelo.
Trivia[]
- Real-life ninja did originally use gardening tools as weapons before transitioning to purpose-made weapons.
