In this version Michelangelo appears less childish than in previous incarnations; and is quite a glutton with a special fondness for pizza. Though this passion and his cheerful nature he makes best friends with the pizza delivery boy Woody Dirkins and (contrary to the 1987 TV series), when he and his brothers encounter the Neutrinos, he finds his sweetheart in the royal princess Trib. He also demonstrated over the course of the series the ability to speak and read Japanese fluently - a property that is not shared by his brothers - and thus is capable of translating the Ashi no Himitsu without any trouble.
