The names Uno, Odyn, Moja, and Yi all mean the same thing.
Warning: Spoilers for TMNT: The Last Ronin - The Lost Years #5!The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been replaced by a new set of reptiles ready to carry on the legacy of the original team, with Uno, Moja, Odyn, and Yi just beginning their journey as heroes.
