Season 2
REPAIRIN' THE BARON

Splinter arrives with Leo and Donnie, and a casserole, to Draxum's apartment, believing that they were invited over to meet April's parents. He becomes extremely angry upon seeing Draxum and April says Mikey tricked them into helping Draxum get his groove back. Splinter says that he doesn't make his green bean casserole for his mortal enemy, but Mikey says that Draxum isn't an enemy, he's family.

They awkwardly eat dinner and Splinter asks if someone can pass the cream corn. Raph points out that they don't have any and Splinter angrily says that he figured that the guy who turned him into a rat could just mutate the potatoes into it. Mikey says that they're there for a nice family dinner, not to argue, but Draxum says he's right. If he had his powers, he could create cream corn beasts that would destroy humanity.

Mikey along with his brother were then raised and trained by Lou Jitsu, going by Splinter now, in the sewers of New York. Mikey is the most kind of the turtles, and has the biggest heart. The first to try and get Draxum into their family.

Fanon
The ship has a fairly decent popularity within the Rise fandom. While initially a smaller pair, it grew in the second season as they have more scenes together, and Draxum started being redeemed. The biggest reason fans ship the two is due to both Splinter and Draxum being the turtles dads. Draxum using Splinter's DNA to mutate common turtles. Due to this and Splinter's hatred of Draxum, many fans believed that they gave off "Divorced Energy". Often fics and fan art will play into this, and either have them be canonical exes, or have them eventually get together. Although most just ship them in a divorced way, and having them be forced to co-parent the turtles.

Besides them both being the turtles parents and their initial animosity, another reason fans ship them is Draxum's original fascination with Splinter. Often being interpreted as him finding him attractive or "love at first sight". Especially since Draxum still calls Splinter "The Great Lou Jitsu" every time he brings him up. Common AUs will often have Splinter be Draxum's ex, rather than his canonical ex Big Mama.

On AO3, BaronJitsu is the most written ship for both Splinter and Draxum. There are currently 40 written works.

Fanon
Donnie and Leo are typically the turtles with the least amount of conflict between them. Leo often relying on Donnie the most to get things done among the rest of the turtles, at least when he's the leader. However, Rise's change in personality for the two caused the two to have more conflict, leading to the fandom calling them "Disaster Twins", due to them being the same age and getting into a lot of shenanagins together.
