Here's the official synopsis from IDW for issue #5:
The second installment in the legendary Last Ronin saga reaches its fiery and climactic conclusion! As New York's streets erupt into all-out war, no one is safe. Casey, April, Odyn, Yi, Moja, and Uno are all in the crosshairs. Will they all make it out alive? The fate of these beloved characters rests in the hands of writers Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz as this chapter of The Last Ronin saga draws to a close.
In a 2024 interview with IGN, Kevin Eastman shared insights on the character development in the series: "One of the things that we did want to do was really update the characters. There's two male, two female Turtle characters, and Tom and I tried to write what teenagers might think and say and do. There's a nice cross section of different personalities, much like the original Turtles. You want them to always love their family, but not always like them. They might argue, spat, or have disagreements, but when they need to work together as a team, it's the heart and soul of the family that always keeps them together. And that's always going to be the foundation of anything we do with Turtles."
TMNT: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution #5 is set to hit the shelves on April 30. You can also preorder the The Last Ronin II hardcover collection on Amazon.
