Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Umihaha (Japanese: 海母, lit. "sea mother") is the last adult sea serpent, and the arch-nemesis of Captain Agamatta. She does everything within her power to keep her children safe.
The captain of the whaling vessel the Shiumi, Agamatta along with his crew discover a school of sea serpents swimming around icebergs. The crew includes first mate Kai Nezumi and nephew Gisei.
Gisei is very young and eager, hoping to help his uncle restore their family fortune. Manning the harpoon, Gisei takes a shot and scores a direct hit on one of the sea serpents. They haul the sea serpent onto the deck and everyone but Nezumi celebrate. He urges Agamatta to throw the sea serpent back or he will rouse the wrath of the sea mother.
Agamatta tells him that he is superstitious and they prepare to sail back to port. The ship is suddenly attacked and destroyed by a gigantic sea serpent - Umihaha. During the attack, Gisei is killed and Agamatta seriously injured, losing his arms and having to replace them with bionics.
The ordeal leaves Agamatta with an obsession to destroy Umihaha. He builds a new, fully automated ship, Shiumi's Justice, with only himself and Nezumi as the crew. While they are on the ocean hunting Umihaha, they rescue the Turtles, Shelton Slujj, and Emelia Slujj who are on a life raft as Umihaha has destroyed Slujj's yacht.
Agamatta finally gets Umihaha in his sights, but his harpoon won't work because the Turtles have destroyed the security systems. Umihaha wrecks the Shiumi's Justice, but the Turtles commune with her and convince her to push the ship back to the island of Kilaoto. After the ship is safetly docked, Umihaha and her children swim away.
