No Right Answer: Best Sensei Ever

[Firefilm]

Best Sensei Ever

It seems that Dan was so unabashedly furious about the ending of Mass Effect 3 that he needed a wise sensei to reign in his anger. A teacher to show him the ways of channeling his fury into constructive activities. While the state requires at least 30 hours of such anger management, it doesn't specify who the teacher should be. So make a funny and grab your chopsticks, because we've got to decide who the best sensei for the job would be.



Don't forget, if you don't understand our decisions or want to have more of our material to complete your shrines to us, Mondays feature a new written companion piece titled No Right Explanation [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/norightexplanation]. We dare you to make less sense!

What? Splinter versus Miyagi?

What about PAI MEI, damn you?!?

 

[Qitz]

He gave Daniel-San a future!

*Yay*

Gotta love Dan.

I'd go for Master Splinter though. He's a giant rat whose able to train four teenage turtles and eats Pizza. What's not to win about that? Mr.Miyagi taught him how to be a day laborer. Spliter taught the turtles how to be heroes.

You're lucky you chose those two though or I'd have to hurt you for forgetting them.

I think you're all forgetting Yoda. Strong in the ways of debate, he is.

"Don't watch his crap."

Made me giggle like an 8 year old.

 

[Shadowstar38]

One guy trained a kid to beat an older teenage.

The other trained house pets to fight mutants and space aliens.

You decide which is the better one.

I glad to see Mr Miyagi had won since I was the the sensei I favour out of the two.
No offence to Master Splinter at least least I can see myself being train by Mr Miyagi while with Splinter I had to be a mutant animal or travel to the smelly swever to do the training sessions.

 

[Aptspire]

I thought Miyagi was a true boss, damn happy to see him win (Dan: "YEAH!") I also like how he would try to teach his students about peaceful opposition and mercy, especially against smaller living beings

I will not debate you on this, seeing as I completely agree.

karate wins over ninjutsu?? mastery the hidden arts loses to doing house chores for an old man who then proclaims YOU NOW KNOW KARATE!

 

[Krion_Vark]

Master Splinter gets my support on this topic. The guy loved the ninja turtles like if they were his own sons, thus really held no hate toward his enemies.

You do know the original story of the TMNT was that Splinter trained them to straight up kill the Shredder for revenge right? So harboring no hate towards his enemies kinda goes out the window there.

I immediately thought of Splinter. That said, and I hope they bring this up in NRE, Daniel helped Mr Miyagi as much as Miyagi helped Daniel. Miyagi was happy to live out the rest of his life as the caretaker, but Daniel helped him to return to society, helped him get the woman, and become happy in himself. He had an arc, which Splinter never did.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

You want to have a touching moment remembering Pat Morita? NO! I must hate on 20th century scholars of comparative myth and religion!

That's a good point. I only saw/remember part of the old animated show, but Splinter was basically static.

 

[RaNDM G]

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disqualify that last point.
Being a freaking ninja is a way cooler job than selling bonsai trees.

Doesn't pay the bills though. My friend actually makes bank selling bonsai trees.

Master Splinter gets my support on this topic. The guy loved the ninja turtles like if they were his own sons, thus really held no hate toward his enemies. The other sensei was a cool guy who I can appreciate for being so noble toward his one student, but Master Splinter made the Ninja Turtles a legacy to the world- he made them popular with the community which we have different series and animations based on the turtles. We're even getting a live action movie on them soon (despite it might not be good.. and they're going under the alien title lol.) But still.

Good episode overall though. You guys did make good points that made me acknowledge both senseis.

Well but if we count the original story that isn't totally true. Master Splinter was full of hate for his enemies and trained the turtles to straight up murder the whole foot-clan.

I nominate Master Roshi. We'll see how angry Dan is when he's laying highways and delivering milk with his bare hands while wearing a 100 lbs. turtle shell on his back.

That or waking up and saying some day saying 'I know Kung-Fu.' [In defence; The Matrix Is badass]

On Topic: Id go for Myagai 'cos Pat was just awesome. And most 'Old Master' sterotypes are based on him these days.

"A-Ha..."

Why did he drink the water, instead of drinking the glass, as he was told to?
