The greatest martial art teams can stand up to anything. But they would be nothing without their wise mentors
(Geo) Splinter, sensai to the Ninja Turtles
(Red) And Shifu, master of the Furious 5. I'm Geo, he's Ender and that's Red
(Ender) And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor, skills, feats and weaknesses to find out who would win a Death Battle
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1962, Hamato Yoshi was the leader of a strong, Japanese clan called 'The Hamatos'
(Red) Which would be like me being the leader of a group called 'The Red'. Anyway, Tomato and his adopted brother Oroku Saki had a crush on the same chick: Tang Shen. Because its ALWAYS a chick!
(Geo) Luckily for Hamato, Tang returned his affection. But, this caused his brother Oroku to become incredibly angry. Which is why, when Oroku learned of his heritage and his old clan 'The Foot' he returned to Hamato and challenged him to a duel. Hamato accepted and the two nearly destroyed his entire home. At the end of the match, Oroku-now going by the allies 'Shredder'-was set to take the win
(Ender) When suddenly, Tang jumped in and took the mortal blow for her husband. Out of sadness and grief, Hamato fled to America and started over in New York City. He even adopted 4 baby turtles as pets.
(Red) Gee, I WONDER what happens to them. Well, on his walk home he chased and overheard 2 men talking. After accidentally exposing himself, Hamato fought back and broke a container of a substance known as Mutagen. This substance not only mutated those 4 turtles of his into humanoid beings, but it also mutated him into a giant rat. From this day forward, Hamato would raise these kids as his own and train them to be able to defend themselves against any humans who may persecute them. And all of this under his new name: Splinter
"My sons! *sigh* My sons, If you are to become true ninja you must work harder. Your path in life will not be an easy one. The outside world will not be a friendly place for you"
(Geo) Wait why 'Splinter'? It would be like me changing my name to 'Pebble' because i'm 'Geo'
(Ender) Well fun fact: The name 'Splinter' is a spoof on a Marvel character named 'The Stick'. He was the guy who trained Daredevil
(Red) That's...kinda lame. Luckily, Splinter isn't. He was trained in Ninjutsu, a fighting style mainly focused on strategy, tactics and out-thinking your opponent. Despite being 50 years old...and a rat...Splinter is a master in Ninjutsu. He has incredible intelligence and amazing strength, speed and agility. And becoming a rat gave him access to an incredible jaw! With a single bite, he can shatter certain types of metal! Not that his senses aren't amazing too. He can see in the dark, and can smell a peanut even while in a cage through glass!
(Ender) He is immune to mind control, and seems to posses some form of telepathy, allowing him to sense and predict his opponent's moves. And, being a ninja, he also comes equipped with a large array of weaponry. Some of his favorites being his walking cane, sticks and swords.
(Geo) He carries ninja stars, smoke bombs, a whip, a knife and even a Bow and Arrow and a Crossbow! He's even skilled enough to fight the 4 Ninja Turtles, even when telling them to not hold back.
(Red) Holy shit! He may be old, but he's still got the moves. Like that time he lifted AND THREW both Bebop and Rocksteady!
(Geo) Who have an accumulative weight of 125000 pounds, or just over 62 TONS!
(Ender) He's also skilled enough to keep pace with Shredder himself. Shredder once moved so fast, he cut a meatball without anyone in the room seeing him move. The well-trained eye can detect objects moving at 1/220th of a second. Meaning, Shredder's slash was even faster.
(Red) He's even managed to defeat a freakin DEMON and won the Battle Nexus Tournament! So we have a RAT, who is a MASTER of ninjutsu, who can lift 62 TONS and move faster then the human eye can track! Can ANYTHING stop this guy!?
(Geo) Well his age certainly isn't helping him. Plus he lives by a strict code of honor that prevents him from using any tricks or cheap shots
(Red) While the Ninja Turtles are out saving New York, never forget the badass who made them who they are!
"You took everything that I loved. Everything! And still you hunt me down! So... I fight you now... to end this!"

(Geo) Long Ago, in the Valley of Peace, there lived a group of legendary warriors
(Red) The Furious 5: Tigress, Monkey, Viper, Crane and Mantis. And the Dragon Warrior: Po.
(Ender) But, NONE of them would be where they are now without the aid of their leader: Master Shifu
(Red) So you see, when Shifu was young his dad left him at the Jade Palace and promised to return...he didn't
(Geo) That's when he was found by Master Oogway, the creator of Kung Fu. He took the boy in and trained him the way of martial arts. He became a member of the original Furious 5 before becoming Oogway's assistant after the 5 disbanded. Because one of them turned out to be well...evil
(Ender) Shifu then found, adopted and began to train a young snow leopard named Tai Lung. This child was destined for greatness
(Red) Until Oogway saw his heart was being filled with evil desires and quickly kicked him out. That day forward, Shifu became cold and more strict. Until he met Po, who helped him learn to lighten up. Phew thats a LOT of backstory. So what about this red panda with a bad life makes him a badass?
(Geo) Shifu was trained in the ways of Kung Fu, specifically the Red Panda Style. This style of fighting relies on quick and efficient movements, reading his opponent's every muscle movement to out predict them, and exploit their natural Chi-power. He was then also trained in the ways of Hing Kung, which focuses on balance and weightlessness. He prefers unarmed combat, but has been known to use weapons like fans and bo staffs.
(Red) Yeah yeah that's all fine and dandy and all that, but lets move on to where Shifu REALLY shines: His techniques! Like the Golden Lotus Clap, which can permanently BLIND foes unless Shifu reverses it
(Ender) He also knows the Paralyzing Nerve Attack, a move that lets Shifu strike the Chi pressure points in the body, causing paralysis. If in one hour the technique is not reversed, the paralysis will be permanent. And the Chao Wa Punch Kick, another paralyzing technique. One strike of this attack causes the opponent's muscles to stiffen, and they can only be moved by the will of another, not themselves.
(Geo) He even knows 3 of the 12 Impossible Moves: the most difficult techniques in Kung Fu history to master. Of the 12, he knows the Thundering Wind Hammer. Think of it like Randy Cunningham's Air Fist, mixed with a Mjolnir throw!
(Red) The Mongolian Fireball is basically a mini black hole. It sucks things into it, THEN EXPLODES!
(Ender) And, while the third one was never officially named, Po called it the 'Flying Ring of Energy' which can cut through anything
(Geo) Shifu also has his ultimate move. The greatest technique of the Red Panda Style: The Wuxi Finger Hold
*shows Po using the move in the movie*
(Red) HOLY SHIT! The Wuxi Finger Hold basically takes an opponent's Chi energy and makes it EXPLODE! It was this move that Po used to ANNIHILATE Tai Lung
(Ender) As well as create a shockwave of light that spanned the entire Valley of Peace. And we know this is a physical thing, as we see the others duck and cover from it. The Valley of Peace is based on the Li River and the Yellow Mountain in Japan. The Li River is 272 miles long, and Yellow Mountain is 5,900 feet high.
(Red) Hot damn! Keep in mind, that was what PO managed to do. Shifu is the master of that style, and Po even said he just learned how to do it. So it's likely Shifu's would be even stronger! I underestimated this dude
(Geo) Well we are talking about a guy who can break solid Marble with his bare hands-a feet requiring 2900 PSI-and survived being frozen alive. He's skilled enough to go toe-to-toe with the Furious 5, survived a beating from Tai Lung-who broke out of a highly secured cell by himself-and, by the end of the series, trained the ENTIRE VALLEY OF PEACE in little under 2 hours
(Ender) Then there's that time he caught Lightning Bolt and redirected it without being wounded. A feat that would require him to move at 220,000,000 miles per hour. That's 1/3 the speed of light! Not to mention he would also be experiencing burns 53,540 degrees Fahrenheit!
(Geo) i know what your thinking 'Shifu sounds invincible!'
(Red) weeeelllllll not really. He's been known to be very emotional during combat. And he has been bested in combat before by people like Tai Lung, Kai and...his wife. Plus...he has back issues. But if those are his only flaws, evil of the Valley of Peace beware! The furious 5 is coming for you, and they were trained by the best! By the way, how old IS Shifu?
(Ender) Oh well that's simple
Master Chao Whispers in Po's Ear about Shifu's age. "Was anyone even alive back then?" asks Po
(Red)...oh

Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all
(Geo) Two masters of martial arts, and only one will live to teach another day!
(Red) ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
Shifu is seen meditating near the Pool of Sacred Tears. "Inner peace..." He said to himself. The 5 and Po were out in the town, leaving Shifu some time to meditate "Inner peace...inner pe-"
"COWABUNGA!" Some voices yelled. Suddenly, Shifu gets splashed. He opens his eyes and glares at four turtles in the water. "Phew! Man this water feels good"
"Excuse me" Shifu said annoyed. "You do not cannonball into the Pool of Sacred Tears" he said
"Sacred what now?' Mikey asked
"Sorry gramps. But when we heard about this pool we had to come check it out" Raph said
"I apologize" Another voice said. Shifu turned, seeing Splinter. "Boys will be boys as they say"
"Well take your 'boys' and leave" Shifu said.
"Well we took this trip all the way here" Splinter said. "It would be a shame if-" He gets punched by Shifu. Stumbling back, he glared at the red panda, who enters a fighting stance
"I will not allow you to make a mockery of Kung Fu!" Shifu yelled. The turtles watched as their master entered a fighting pose as well.
FIGHT!
*cue Ninja Master by Derek Fiechter
Shifu ran and punched at Splinter, who blocked the attack and whipped Shifu with his tail. Shifu took the blow, back flipping away and grabbing a nearby bo staff. Don yells "Hey that's mine!" but his cries fall on deaf ears, as Shifu uses the staff to smack Splinter from a distances. He then uses it as a pole vault to launch himself into the air, and jump down with a kick. Splinter caught his foot-causing the red panda to gasp-before pulling him in and chopping his throat. Shifu fell backwards coughing and wheezing as Splinter grabs his sword. Shifu looked up and barely dodged the sword swing. Splinter swung again but Shifu caught it in his hands, struggling to push it back. Eventually, Shifu rendered the sword out of Splinter's hand, throwing it into a nearby tree. Taking his opening, Shifu delivered swift punches and kicks to Splinter's gut. The rat backed up before retaliating with a couple of overhead swings, grabbing Shifu and slamming him into the ground face first. Shifu kicked backwards but his foot was caught. He was sent spinning in the air, falling on his sore back and laying still. Splinter took out his knife and prepared to finish it until..
"Golden Lotus Clap!" Shifu yelled, clapping his hands together. Splinter screamed in agony, holding his now blinded eyes. Shifu managed to get his back moving again and ran to attack. But to his shock, Splinter-using his telepathy-dodged.
"I can still see you" The rat said. Shifu growled, taking out a fan. He throws it at Splinter, who smacks it away with his cane. Shifu, using that as a distraction, ran up jumped on the cane, kicking Splinter in the jaw. Splinter backed up and got on all fours, dashing at Shifu. He tackled the red panda and pinned him to the ground. Shifu struggled to escape as Splinter bared his teeth. Shifu thought for a moment before taking the only opening he had; he headbutts Splinter, causing both elders to stumble backwards in pain. Splinter grabbed ninja stars and began to throw them at Shifu. Shifu tried frantically to dodge, but gets hit in the shoulder, stomach and leg. He winced in pain and panted as Splinter smelled him bleeding. "Seems my attacks hit. How's that for a blind rat?"
"A few hits does not mean you have won yet" Shifu panted.
"We will see" Splinter said, grabbing his bow and arrow. Shifu steadied his heart beat and managed to balance himself through the pain. He reflects all of the arrows away from him, grabbing one and throwing it back, striking the rat in the arm. Splinter winced before realizing he was out of arrows. Shifu ran towards him but was blinded by a smoke bomb. Using his hearing, he turned and blocked the whip Splinter used. The whip wrapped around his arm, letting Splinter pull and force Shifu to spin into the air. Splinter jumps into the air and slams his sticks into Shifu's back, knocking the red panda down. Shifu tried to ignore the pain his back was in, but it was becoming incredible difficult. Without him seeing, Splinter ran and slashed his chest with his knife, causing the red panda to scream in agony. "This fight is over" Splinter said. He ran at Shifu again, who turned and tapped Splinter's stomach, causing the rat's muscles to lock up. "W..what? What is this!?" Shifu laughs as he kicks Splinter in the head
"I agree. This fight is over" Shifu said, grabbing Splinter and flipping him, grabbing his finger. "As one of my students would say in this situation: skadoosh" Shifu uses the Wuxi Finger Hold, causing an eruption of light that blew the ninja turtles away. When it cleared, Shifu was along again. "Ah. Now where was I?"
K.O!
Shifu went back to meditating. The turtles land in Mr. Ping's noodle store, on the table where the furious 5 and Po were eating
(Red) Holy hell! Look at those old men go!
(Geo) This fight was very close. Both Shifu and Splinter have shown impressive feats of durability and speed. Splinter being able to move at 1/220th of a second, and Shifu moving fast enough to intercept a lightning bolt proved they could keep up with each other.
(Ender) Strength wise, Splinter was undeniable stronger. However, that's not what this fight boiled down too
(Red) What it boiled down to was this: Could Shifu get Splinter in the Wuxi Finger Hold? With both of there speed, this seemed like it could go either way. Even when Shifu blinded Splinter with the Golden Lotus Clap, Splinter could still maneuver thanks to his telepathy
(Geo) However, Shifu had many skills that would help him catch Splinter, such as his paralyzing attacks. As soon as he could get in close and use them, Splinter would be left wide open.
(Ender) Splinter may have been 50, but Shifu was WAY older and most likely wiser thanks to it.
(Red) Splinter was certainly badass. But Shifu's tricky skills, the power of his Wuxi Finger Hold, and his age advantage means he had just enough of an edge to pull through. Even IF splinter could somehow blind Shifu, which wouldn't seem likely since he hates cheap tactics, Shifu's great hearing and Chi sense would help him maneuver just like Spliner's telepathy. In the end, Hamato won't be walking away...with only a few splinters
(Ender) The winner is Master Shifu
