| abstract | - In thePrologue, Michelangelo’s appearance is mostly the same as it is in Mirage Volume 1, from which MNT Gaiden branches its continuity. The one difference, influenced by the 2003 TV series, is that Michelangelo’s bandana is orange. Michelangelo first appears in a conversation with Shadow Jones after the 17 year time skip, having dropped all his ninja attire and now sporting a frayed sleeveless vest and jeans. When he goes with Shadow to Augustus Amherst’s funeral he wears a suit and dress shoes and a fedora to conceal his appearance. When at home, he is also seen wearing a muscle shirt and sweatpants. Raphael accuses Michelangelo of trying to be ‘too human’ and it is likely his preference in wearing human clothing even when he is alone adds to Raphael's perception. After his ‘reawakening’ however, Michelangelo returns to wearing his bandana, different in that it covers the entire top portion of his head and has a yellow flame design across the back, though it is still orange. The belt he wears is also different than Raphael and Donatello, in that is more like a traditional human belt with a buckle, rather than the typical martial arts sash.
