''Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation'' is an American live-action television series produced by Saban Entertainment, which ran on the Fox Kids network from 1997 to 1998 based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles published by Mirage Studios. As of September 16, 2011, the series is currently distributed by Saban Brands, as Saban has recently regained the rights to the show from Disney.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.marvista.net/programing-catalog.php?n=2&id=313&cat=1 )〕 The series introduced many new elements to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including a female mutant turtle called Venus (named after the famous statue) and new central antagonists, an army of humanoid dragons known as "The Rank" led by the vicious Dragonlord. The series was touted (in some of the promotional material) as a continuation of the 1987 TV series, but the series instead followed the continuity of the live-action films. The Turtles lived in the same abandoned train station featured in the second and third films, and Splinter's ear is slashed as it was in the original film. However, the films and the series display differing styles, Shredder is alive (and no longer Super Shredder), and April O'Neil and Casey Jones are absent. In a departure from other TMNT continuities, Leonardo states in the second episode that the Turtles are not blood-related, while other media either explicitly present the Turtles as biological siblings. Other notable differences were found in the Turtles' weapons; Leonardo carries one double-bladed ninjatō instead of two katana (though he was shown to own two in a few episodes), Donatello (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) has a metal staff instead of a wooden Bō staff, Raphael's twin sai could combine to make a staff; and Michaelangelo's signature weapon in was a pair of tonfa (his weapon of choice in other media, nunchucks, are outlawed in several places). Further, the name of the series was amended in several countries to ''Hero Turtles: The Next Mutation'' under various censorship rulings, as with most output of the franchise. The series is partly based on a fourth film originally to be released in 1994-95, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV : The New Mutation .〔() 〕 ==Characters== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
