Splinter's reference.
❗Аdditionally:
...In the neon lights of the 21st century, in the heart of technological Japan, Hamato Yoshi, known as Splinter, is not just a mutated rat. He is the last descendant of the ancient Hamato clan, the guardians of knowledge about youkai, spirits and demons inhabiting the hidden world. Splinter is a bridge between two realities, the keeper of the balance between ancient traditions and modern life...
🦎 A brief description of the character:
Yoshi understands well how to be a father and how to be a teacher, so he has two behaviors around his sons ^^
Father: For the four turtle brothers, Splinter is the epitome of caring and wisdom. He teaches them to value family ties, respect elders, and honor the memory of their ancestors. Hidden among the skyscrapers, his house has the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese home, where the spirit of wabi-sabi is intertwined with modern comfort. Splinter makes them a fragrant miso soup, tells them stories about heroes and youkai, teaches them to understand the intricacies of the tea ceremony, instilling love for their culture. He is not just a father, but a mentor in life, helping them find their way in a difficult world.
Teacher: As a sensei, Splinter is strict and demanding, like the tsukumogami spirit embodying the wisdom of old things. He teaches turtles the art of ninjutsu, passing on to them the secret techniques of the Hamato clan. Splinter understands that in a world where youkai are becoming a reality, katana and shuriken mastery is not just a sport, but a necessity for survival. He instills in them discipline, concentration, and the ability to control their emotions so that they can withstand any challenges.
He knows perfectly well in which situations he needs to be taught a lesson like Sensei, and in which situations he just hugs and comforts like a father. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
🦎 Connection with the element:
Metal (you can see the hieroglyph "metal" on the hilt of his Gendito¹): Splinter is associated with the mythical element of metal. This bond reflects Splinter's indestructible spirit, his unwavering principles, and his willingness to protect his family at all costs. Metal is a symbol of his inner strength, perseverance and devotion. He is a shield protecting his sons from the darkness that is awakening in their strange world.

Sometimes I wonder if an old sprit or god it would make a lot of sense as akechi seems to get his detective skills a good bit from his guardian sprit same with aiura so that could be were Saiki got some of his abilities tho it doesn't seem to be the case with Toritsuka but we can assume it's that way for Saiki based of how are lil ghost boy talks about it I'm not really familiar with Japanese spirits tho so I'm not quite sure what it could be
there's this one episode where reita's spirit leaves somewhere and kusuo asks : are you gonna be fine without ur guardian spirit?
