The Shredder (Oroku Saki) is a fictional character and primary villain and antagonist of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media.[1] At one point or another in every incarnation of the TMNT stories, he has been the archenemy of Splinter and the Turtles. He is also known as the leader of the Foot Clan.The Shredder's physical appearance remains fairly consistent in all incarnations of the character. Saki is a muscular Japanese man, most frequently seen in the Shredder persona, wearing a suit of armor vaguely based on that of a samurai, sometimes with a cape. The armor consists of blade-covered metal plaques on his shoulders, forearms, hands (sometimes just his left hand, because he is left-handed), and shins; he wears a purple, gray, blue, or red robe that variously appears to be simple fabric or a form of chain mail. He also wears a metal helmet with a trident-shaped ornament on top, and a metal mask that covers his face, leaving only his eyes visible. In later incarnations he sometimes wears a metal silver (Utrom Shredder), black (Cyber Shredder/Demon Shredder), red (Tengu) or blue (/2003/2007 action figure/Tengu) suit of armor.
Kevin Eastman got the idea for Shredder's armor from large trapezoidal cheese graters which he envisioned on a villainous character's (originally named "The Grater" or "Grate Man") arms. He then said, "Could you imagine a character with weapons on his arms like this in the original comic books by Mirage Comics, Oroku Saki is the younger brother of Oroku Nagi. Nagi competed with Hamato Yoshi (the owner of Splinter, the Turtles' mentor) for the love of a woman named Tang Shen. Shen loved only Yoshi, and a feud erupted between Yoshi and Nagi, which led to Yoshi killing Nagi and fleeing from Japan to New York City with Shen.
The younger Saki joined the Foot Clan and trained to be a ninja. Over time, he rose in the ranks of the foot Clan and was eventually put in charge of the Clan’s American branch. Under Saki's leadership, The Foot participated in variety of criminal activities, including drug smuggling, arms running, and assassination. This also allowed him to finally move to New York to avenge his brother’s death by killing Yoshi and Shen; however, Yoshi’s pet rat Splinter escaped and later mutated into an anthropomorphic form, and spent years training the four Ninja Turtles to avenge Yoshi and Shen.
When Splinter felt the Turtles were ready, he asked them to challenge and kill Oroku Saki. This first fight took place at night on a rooftop in New York City. They defeated him and allowed him to commit seppuku, but Shredder refused and detonated a thermite grenade, in an attempt to take them with him to his death. However, in the last second Donatello used his bo staff to knock the Shredder off the building to his death.
However, he was later recreated through a unique Foot Clan cloning technique utilizing worms, and was finally finished off by Leonardo by decapitation. Then the Turtles burn the corpse to make sure the Shredder never returns. With the Shredder gone, chaos erupted in New York City among the leaderless Foot Clan. The leader of the Foot in Japan Karai came to New York and established a shaky truce with the Turtles to re-establish peace.
In issues 3 and 4 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 2, it is shown that a few weeks after Leonardo defeated the Shredder, he was resurrected once again by a Foot mystic; however, the mystic did not resurrect the Shredder himself but the clone worms. The worms then went out to find a new body and chose that of a shark. The monster then attacked the Turtles, who defeated it and (seemingly) ended the Shredder legacy once and for all. The monster returned in issue #33, however, and had the Foot kidnap Casey's adopted daughter Shadow to lure the Turtles into a trap. With the Turtles away, it was up to Casey and Splinter to defeat it and rescue Shadow.
The original Mirage version of the Shredder also makes an appearance in Turtles Forever voiced by David Wills. However, he is easily defeated by the Turtles, in a reference to the fact that the Shredder plays a relatively minor role in the Mirage Comics universe compared to his other counterparts.
The female ninja Pimiko[3] is Shredder's daughterHow will the new series, which starts in February, be different from the old series?
Peter: The biggest difference is that the new series is a lot closer to the original comic. There'll be a lot more emphasis on action. There'll be a lot more chasing, jumping, bobbing and flipping. There may even be a few more fight scenes. We're also gonna weave some extreme action sports into the mix. The new Turtles look much more athletic and are a lot cooler. The Turtles also have a new vehicle called the Battle Shell that's been adapted from an armored car. One of the Turtles is also going to ride a motorcycle in the show.
Any plans for another full-length movie about the TMNT?
Peter: That's something we've been talking about. We're working to do a two-part television movie that's going to be a combination of live-action and CGI. That's going to be awesome, so I'm pretty psyched. My daughter desperately wants to see Orlando Bloom cast in the role of Casey Jones, who's one of the Turtle's pals. I don't know if that'll ever happen but she's been bugging me about it.
What sort of advice do you have for kids wanting to start their own comic, like you did?
Peter: Draw, draw, draw - and don't stop. You can tell the kids who aren't terribly serious about drawing comics. They learn to draw a few things and then they don't want to learn to draw anything else. That's not going to cut it in comics. You have to be able to draw anything. You can't give up. It's a very competitive business. If you get rejected a bunch of times, like we did, you gotta keep going and not let it get you down.
When you were a kid, what did you like most in school and what did you like the least?
I was a bit of a geek so I actually enjoyed school, for the most part. PE was my worst class. I never really got into that too much. I enjoyed exercising but the way they taught it back then was just horrible. My favorite classes were Science and English. I actually won an award in Science class.
Was that award for taking turtles and dipping them into some sort of toxic substance?
Peter: No, I'm afraid not. If only I'd thought of that..
