* CallBack: When Draxum proposes that the turtles join him, Leo mentioned that Draxum dropped him off a roof in “Bug Busters”.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Draxum doesn’t realize that after everything he did to the turtles (fighting them, dropping Leo off a rooftop, and organizing a group of mutant villains to fight the turtles), the turtles have no reason to join forces with him.
* LuredIntoATrap: The magicians act that the turtles receive flyers for is an obvious trap the Evil League of Mutants set up to corner the turtles with. Donnie is the only one who notices the New Jersey welcomes them specifically, but he does nothing to dissuade his brothers from entering the empty warehouse building.
