However, one thing the creator put in this cartoon that is accurate about ninjutsu is that ninja fight dirty. The idea of a fair fight was a samurai thing. The samurai were a privileged class back in feudal Japan who oppressed most of the country under orders from the Daimyos.

So in a way, that's exactly what may have been intended....but I'd have to agree with you I don't think that translates well as a message to today's generation of kids. Hopefully those kids are busy being caught up in this awesome new show to notice that though

Yeah, I get that that's what they were going for, but the way Splinter put it still didn't feel quite right. Like I said, maybe if it had been worded better it'd have felt less petty then it came accross.

I still dig that show, though. It's not like I'm going to write the whole thing off just cause because of this.
