The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a popular franchise that has been entertaining fans since 1984. However, in the most recent installment of the series, comic book readers were left with a shocking twist. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, it was revealed that all of the turtles had died.
It began when Oroku Hiroto, the grandson of The Shredder, appeared and killed Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo. Michelangelo was the only one who survived and he was determined to take down The Shredder to avenge his brothers. During the final conflict with Shredder and his forces, Leo fought Karai but was eventually killed by her when she stabbed him in the back from behind.
This tragic event served as motivation for Michelangelo to keep ging in his fight against evil. He fought through a scrum of Foot Ninja and reached a duel with their leader Karai. After an intense battle, Michelangelo managed to suplex her off of a dock into the water where he eventually stabbed her in the back with his sai.
For six months after this issue was released, fans debated who was hiding behind that mask on its last page. Eastman and team kept silent until finally revealing that Michelangelo was indeed the last turtle standing in issue 1 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin which arrived on October 28th, 2020.
Although it’s still unclear why exactly Oroku Hiroto killed all of the turtles or what will happen next in this series, one thing is for certain – Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael are gone forever after this tragic ending.
The Death of Raphael, the Ninja Turtle
Raphael Ninja Turtle died after a duel with the leader of the Foot Ninja, Karai. After grabbing her and suplexing her off of a dock and into the water, Raphael stabbed her in the back with his sai. In response, Karai stabbed him in the throat with a katar, ultimately leading to his demise.
The Last Surviving Ninja Turtle

This was kept secret for six months prior, with fans debating who could be behind the mask. The announcement came as a surprise to many, as the other three turtles had seemingly died in an earlier issue. However, it was ultimately revealed that Michelangelo had survived and was living in the shadows, ready to join his brothers once again.
The Death of Leonardo, the Ninja Turtle
Leonardo, the Ninja Turtle, died during the final conflict with Shredder and his forces. He was engaged in a fight with Karai when he was momentarily distracted by a Karai Bot.

Is There a Fifth Ninja Turtle?
The answer to the question of whether there is a fifth Ninja Turtle is no. Peter Laird, the original creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has stated that introducing a fifth turtle into the mix would be “creatively bankrupt,” and Kevin Munroe, director of the TMNT animated film, confirmed that there is no mention of a female turtle named Venus de Milo in any official TMNT material. The four turtles currently making up the team are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.
Number of Remaining Ninja Turtles

While Mikey may be the deadliest of these turtles, he is certainly not alone.
