* Mikey's grenade stunt with that Triceraton was PlayedForLaughs, but this teenage boy literally blew someone up and ''laughed'' about it.

* Mikey's grenade stunt with that Triceraton was PlayedForLaughs, but this teenage boy literally blew someone up and ''laughed'' about it. Yeah, the guy was an enemy holding his brother hostage, but whoa.

* In ''The Shredder Strikes Back, Part 2'', many of the Foot Ninjas are knocked out by the Turtles and Master Splinter, so when the Shredder blows up the shop (and by extension, the apartment above), it can be assumed that they perished in the resulting explosion. Although Stockman says in ''Tales of Leo'' that "there's no conclusive proof to say anyone, turtle or human, perished in the fire," that still doesn't mean that all of the Foot Ninjas escaped the blast; it merely means that Stockman doesn't have enough data to prove it.

* The handsign to enter the Purple Dragons lair is showing the three middle fingers of one hand. This is almost exactly like the Foot Clan emblem, who run the Purple Dragons from behind the scenes.

* In H.A.T.E., when Casey's Mom reveals she saw Leo and Splinter. At first, it appears to show how all-knowing Mrs. Jones was. Then with more thought, it's most likely that Mrs. Jones was probably keeping an eye on April during her secret test of character and saw them helping. Of course, neither Splinter or Leo were aware of the test so they weren't being careful.

* After his defeat in "The Shredder Strikes, Part 2," Shredder makes it a point of going after the Turtles and eliminating them. Seems like common sense and simple revenge, right? But then "Timing is Everything" showed Shredder after his first defeat facing the more-skilled Turtles by way of time travel. He knew they would become more powerful and eventually defeat him (as Raph says), so his motives weren't pure revenge.

** It's heavily implied that Karai was slowly being influenced by the Demon Shredder. Of course, she would find it hard to leave her father other than familial love. Had the Turtles not destroy the Demon Shredder, she could have turn out like her "Same As It Never Was" counterpart, allowing Ch'rell to turn Earth into an apocalyptic wasteland.

* Late in season 4 during "Insane in the Membrane" Stockman wants to be left to rest in peace. A season later in "Enter the Dragons" he wants to be left to "expire" in peace. He no longer views himself as a man but a machine.

* Possibly mixed with HarsherInHindsight. An un-produced episode of the Ninja Tribunal season was going to reveal that Hun and The Garbageman were conjoined twins separated at birth by a back-alley surgeon. That was horrific enough that it got the episode scrapped by the network, but it gets even ''worse'' when who realize that it was hinted at ''two seasons earlier'' during "Same As It Never Was." Brings the Shredder's punishment of Hun and Stockman to an all-new level of [[IronicEcho "apropos."]]

* Donnie's infection comes as this since he is able to potentially infect any living organism that is within his vicinity, meaning he carried that infection throughout his time-travel mission into the prehistoric past and his time at the Zodac's dimension. Thankfully, the meteor destroyed the dinosaurs before the infection could do real damage and the Zodac's dimension only had the [[AssholeVictim Brotherhood]] for it to spread to.

* Upon learning anyone that bear the mantle of Shredder would result in a link to the original, it could explain part of Ch'rell and later, Karai's actions. Karai in this case was slowly being influenced by it and had the Turtles not destroy the Demon Shredder, she could have turn out like her "Same As It Never was" counterpart.

* The 2003 Shredder himself. Like Dr. Robotnik from Sonic Satam, he is no longer a comic relief, bumbling buffoon. 1987 Bebop and Rocksteady would be killed on the first day of the job since this Shredder doesn't tolerate failure. This Shredder is possibly the most evil Shredder in the media. He is murderous and ruthless.

* Concept-art and plans for the Shredder's return in the second season of Fast Forward has Ch'rell taking over the body of a Triceration. Guess where Ch'rell is? Latching onto the Triceraton's face. If this had been canon, it makes sense why Ch'rell attack Raphael; He wanted to take control over him.

* There seems to be confusion on Splinter and the Utrom's awareness of the Utrom Shredder's real identity. One season, they believed the Shredder is just an ordinary man but in later season, they are aware that he is Ch'rell. However if one watches the first {{Foreshadowing}} in ''Secret Origins'', the way hologram Mortu said about the Turtles' knowledge about the Shredder is incomplete sounds like he has just figured out who he is. That's because he got information from the Turtles' and after listening about their stories against the Shredder, the hologram Mortu manage to piece together that the Shredder is Ch'rell. With that logic, the Utrom and Splinter assumes for a long time that the Shredder is working with Ch'rell but only after learning about his survival from decapitation that Mortu and the Utrom realizes he is Ch'rell.

* In H.A.T.E., when Casey's Mom revels she saw Leo and Splinter. At first, it was appears to just show how all knowing Mrs. Jones was. Then later on, it appears that Mrs. Jones was probably keeping an eye on April during her secret test of character and saw them helping. Of course, neither Splinter or Leo were aware of the test so they weren't being careful.

* The 2003 Shredder himself. He killed millions. Like Dr. Robotnik from Sonic Satam, he is no longer a comic relief, bumbling idiot. 1987 Bebop and Rocksteady would be killed on the first day of the job since this Shredder doesn't tolerate failure.

* This is almost 100 percent unintentional, but Ch'rell isn't the only stand in for Krang we have. Baxter stockman is an egotistical scientist who later becomes a brain in a jar, and uses robot bodies all the time. It may seem like a bit of a stretch but it does seem a bit uncoincedental

* I was watching H.A.T.E. the other day when Casey's Mom revels she saw Leo and Splinter. At first I thought, it was just to show how all knowing Mrs. Jones was. Then it suddenly occurred to me, that Mrs. Jones was probably keeping an eye on April during her secret test of character and saw them helping. Of course, neither Splinter or Leo were aware of the test so they weren't being careful.

* In ''Sons of the Silent Age'', fishmen's eggs were being threaten by a dismantled nuclear power plant. The Turtles blew it up so save the eggs. While not nuclear, the explosion probably released tons of toxic particles in the air and scattered them for miles.
