So they got rid of Raph's sais, presumably for some bizarre censorship reason, but Leo's swords are okay? Even dumber to replace them with tonfas of all things too. Not only are those more suited to a defense-centric fighting style, which doesn't fit the character at all, but the whole reason for him having sai specifically is that they served as an offset for Leo's swords and vice versa - which made sense since they were often butting heads with each other.
The longer you look at this mess, the more you notice all these confusing details that build up into one big clusterfuck.
