Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Michelangelo — Michelangelo adopts Klunk after finding the cat in an alley, not after stopping a thief stealing a purse.

Michelangelo — The story of Michelangelo as a rōnin in Feudal Japan is a dream sequence, not a story he tells.

Raphael — In the 'DID YOU KNOW' section, the claim that 'In the Mirage Comics, Raphael explicitly states in the fourth issue that he is closest to Michelangelo' is false; Raphael does not state this in issue #4.

Donatello — In the DID YOU KNOW section, it states 'In the first issue of the Mirage Comics, Donatello killed the Shredder by knocking him and his grenade off the roof.' This is incorrect; in the first issue, it was Leonardo who killed the Shredder by throwing his sword i

April O'Neil — In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, April gives Michelangelo a fedora hat and Raphael an old lamp, not the other way around.

April O'Neil — The scepter is described as 'ancient Japanese' in the INTRO, but in the film it is an antique from a flea market with no specific origin stated as Japanese.

Foot Clan — Hamato Yoshi was never a member of the Foot Clan; he was a rival ninja from the Hamato clan, not a former member who left over a rivalry.

Ninja Turtles — The claim that the turtles were 'originally ordinary pet turtles bought from a pet store by a young boy' is inaccurate because in the original Mirage comics, the mutagenic ooze was dropped by a blind man, not a 'scientific accident'.

Triceratons — The entry states the Triceratons originate from Dimension X in the 2012 series, but in the 2012 TMNT series, the Triceratons are explicitly from the 'Neutrino Galaxy' (or 'Neutrino Sector'), not Dimension X.

Triceratons — The entry claims the Triceratons are 'initially subservient foot soldiers in Krang's army' and later rebel. In the 2012 series, the Triceratons are never subservient to Krang; they are introduced as a separate, independent invading force.

New York Police Department — Chief O'Neil in the 2012 series never learns the Turtles' identities or becomes a trusted ally; he remains unaware of their true nature and often pursues them as vigilantes.
