* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite being a major character in the series and his redemption in Season 2, Baron Draxum is completely absent from the movie. There is no mention of Big Mama are other Yokai/Mutants save for Hypno-potamus and Warren Stone, though her impaled corpse makes a brief cameo in the opening sequence.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:While Krang One is stuck in the prison dimension again and Krang Three could be dead, Krang Two is detained by the government in the epilogue, which sets up the possibility of her returning later.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:While Krang One is stuck in the prison dimension again and Krang Three could be dead, Krang Two is might by the government in the closing act, which sets up the possibility of her returning later.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After the Turtles manages to trap Krang One back in the prison dimension along with destroying the Technodrome, Krang One is clearly trying to keep his composure but eventually lets his anger come through as the Turtles have ruined his plans, and he doesn't have any other outlet other than killing Leonardo, who is trapped with him, but can't even enjoy killing Leonardo because he feels his sacrifice was worth being trapped there. Once the Turtles do manage to find a way to save Leonardo and keep Krang One trapped, Krang One can't do anything beyond scream in anger.]]

** [[spoiler:At the film's climax, Leo strands himself in the Krang's dimension in a HoldTheLine moment in order to keep their leader there while Casey removes the key to the portal. Though it's subverted as the other Turtles manage to save him after Michelangelo unlocks his mystical portal powers, with Raph and Donnie assisting him so he didn't have to perform his own HeroicSacrifice.]]

* MadeOfIndestructium: The Key to the Krang prison dimension is effectively impossible to destroy. April and Splinter try literally everything they can to try and break it, but can't so much as scratch it.

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Krang One's sheer strength in combat enable him to do this to the turtles with ease even in just his base Krang form, and it gets ''worse'' when he dons an exosuit designed for fighting, turning him into a LightningBruiser on par with the animalistic Shredder, but [[GeniusBruiser full control of his mental faculties]]. [[spoiler:When Leo manages to seal him back into the prison dimension at the cost of getting stuck in there with him, he goes ''ballistic'' and starts really letting leo have it, resulting in him getting punched across the ''planetoids'' of the vacant dimension]].

* SealedEvilInADuel: "Duel" is ''heavily'' stretching the definition of such a one-sided beatdown, but at the end,[[spoiler:Leo manages to use his portal abilities for forcibly move himself and Krang One to the other side of the gateway back into the Krang's prison dimension just before Casey removes the key, causing the gateway to close on the Techodrone and blow it into two, and stranding both inside the empty dimension with no apparent way out. His plans ruined, Krang One can do nothing but vent his ire against Leo with a ''brutal'' NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that he can only endure, as Krang One is simply [[LightningBruiser too fast and strong]] to be evaded or overcome in combat, even when the quartet were working together with their full mystic powers. If his brothers hadn't managed to open a temporary gateway into the dimension to rescue him, it's made clear Leo would have died in short order]].
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:While Krang One is stuck in another dimension again and Krang Three could be dead, Krang Two is detained by the government in the closing act, which sets up the possibility of her returning later.]]

* ChainsawGood: Casey's WeaponOfChoice here is not a traditional hockey stick, but rather a futuristic tech one that has a built-in saw blade function in the tip. Him lacking any other sport-based weaponry like he usually has implies it's a holdover from the training he's implied to have from his sport-obsessed mom.

* RRatedOpening: The opening minutes to the film are a lot more darker than the rest of the [=Y7-rated=] film, with Future Leonardo visibily bleeding from an injury, a PrecisionFStrike in him referring to Future Michelangelo as a "badass mystic warrior", and both turtles dying onscreen with Future Leo in particular being disintegrated.

* AdaptationalUgliness: Krang's exosuit in prior incarnations generally looks like a half-naked human man, though some incarnations try to make it look more robotic, such as the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIDW IDW comics]] or ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows Out of the Shadows]]''. This version makes the exosuits look more monstrous, with Krang One's looking unnaturally lean, having fin-like protrusions across the body as well as a large red eye, and a gaping mouth, the result looking similar to a [[{{Franchise/Alien}} Xenomorph]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Krang in prior incarnations largely relies on others or his exosuit to fight, but in this incarnation, the Krang are bigger, and Krang 1 alone is able to go toe to toe with the heroes without an exosuit and {{depower}} them ''before'' his brother and sister arrive, and they end up taking over New York over the course of a few hours. [[spoiler:The film also highlights that even when the Turtles have their mystic powers back, they still can't defeat them in a straight fight, to the point Krang 1 stops their CombinationAttack with nothing but a ''finger flick'', and have to stall for time to send him and the Technodrome back to the prison dimension.]]

This version makes the exosuits look more monstrous, with Krang 1's looking unnaturally lean, having fin-like protrusions across the body as well as a large red eye, and a gaping mouth, the result looking similar to a [[{{Franchise/Alien}} Xenomorph]].

* BadBoss: Krang 1 gets Krang 3 to forcibly turn the Foot Clan into {{mook}}s for them, ''despite'' the Foot Lieutenant assuring them that they would serve them with no complaints.

* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to the rest of the ''Rise'' series. It's only there for a brief moment in both instances, but Future Leonardo could be seen bleeding heavily from an injury in the opener, and later on [[spoiler:during the final battle, blood is knocked out of Leo's mouth several times during his fight with Krang 1.]]
* BodyHorror: Assimilation by the Krang is not a pretty picture, with their MeatMoss growing all over and consuming those they attempt to assimilate, reaching underneath into their body, and morphing their bodies into a more alien like biology, with alien eyes forming all over. [[spoiler:Krang 2 gets a nasty case of this, with April throwing a mysterious chemical she looted from Eastlaird university into her face that seem to react to Krang matter like super-powered hydrochloric acid, burning [[TorsoWithAView a hole straight through her head]] that remains for the rest of the movie, taking one of her eyes with it. The fact that this kind of grievous injury only ''angers her'' serves to underscore how ''tough'' this iteration of the Krang are]].

* BroughtDownToBadass: Krang 1 seals the powers of the Turtles early on, and while the heroes are still hideously outmatched against the Krang themselves, they manage to survive largely by virtue of their already existing martial arts skills.
* CallBack: The Turtles attempt to use a variation of the [[CombinationAttack Mystic Hot Soup Hibernator]] against Krang 1. [[spoiler:Krang 1 manages to deflect it just by ''flicking'' at it.]]

** Krang is split into three characters in this movie, Krang 1, Krang 2, and Krang 3, the first being the one who [[BigBad commands the other two]], the second who is [[TheDragon his primary enforcer]], with the third being responsible for "[[TheAssimilator recruiting]]" and who largely operates the Technodrome. According to Krang 1 there were more of them, but they all died in the thousand year wait.

* EyeScream: April loots a mysterious chemical from the school labs of Eastlaird university that she suspects has some illegal ingredients mixed into it, holding several vials of them as proof for her newspaper expose. Later, in a moment of desperation, she chucks one of them into the face of [[spoiler:Krang 2, which apparently reacts to Krang biomatter like super-powered acid, burning not only one of her eyes out, but burning [[TorsoWithAView a hole straight through her skull behind it]] as well, which remains for the rest of her appearance and is apparently unhealable despite the Krang's MeatMoss abilities]].

* FlatCharacter: Krang 2 is [[AxCrazy obsessed with killing]], which seems to be all there really is to her. Splinter even states that [[LampshadeHanging the psycho shtick is getting old]] and even directly asks her to demonstrate something beyond it.

* GravityScrew: [[spoiler:When the Krang start opening a massive portal in the skies above New York to bring the main spaceship, the Techodrone through, it starts causing gravity to turn off in a radius around it, and for cars, buildings and debris to starts floating randomly around it. This is most prominently shown with Leo and Krang 1 having a face-off on the vertical side of the spaceship, horizontal to them thanks to the wonky gravity]].

** [[spoiler: Donnie manages to assimilate himself into the Technodrome's core to pilot it back to the prison dimension. Unfortunately, Krang 1 quickly captures him and Mikey.]]
** In the final battle of the movie, the Turtles seem to be overwhelming Krang 1, and are about to use the Mystic Hot Soup Hibernator, one of their most powerful attacks, on him. [[spoiler:Krang 1 manages to, with just a flick, ''blow them away'', showing that it's impossible for the Turtles to actually defeat him in any sort of fight.]]
* HopelessBossFight: The Krang prove too powerful and dangerous to be overcome in a direct confrontation, especially after Krang 1 successfully seals off the Turtle's mystic powers. Instead, the heroes decide their only option is to repeat the actions of the predecessors and [[SealedEvilInACan seal them back into the mystic prison dimension]] with the key. [[spoiler:This is most clearly shown with Krang 1 himself, who overcomes everything the turtles throw at him even when their mystic powers are restored, and never even comes close to looking winded or seriously injured. He even equals their CombinationAttack with a single finger flick to illustrate the difference in sheer might between them, and when Leo [[HoldTheLine takes him on solo]] by the end, it's clear he has no chance of winning, or even being able to flee from such a superior foe]].

** Krang 3 is much more flesh-colored and smaller than the other two, which gives them a resemblance to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Fred Wolf cartoon]] version.

** [[spoiler:The Earth Protection Force from the 2003 series are shown at the end of the movie taking away Krang 2, with a government agent in a longcoat, glasses, with slicked back hair who tells New Yorkers they aren't allowed to take pictures, who resembles Bishop from the same show.]]
** [[spoiler:The Turtles' final battle with Krang 1 is done above New York on the Technodrome above New York city, similar to the final battle against Krang in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows''.]]

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Krang 1's sheer strength in combat enable him to do this to the turtles with ease even in just his base Krang form, and it gets ''worse'' when he dons an exosuit designed for fighting, turning him into a LightningBruiser on par with the animalistic Shredder, but [[GeniusBruiser full control of his mental faculties]]. [[spoiler:When Leo manages to seal him back into the prison dimension at the cost of getting stuck in there with him, he goes ''ballistic'' and starts really letting leo have it, resulting in him getting punched across the ''planetoids'' of the vacant dimension]].

* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: The Krang justify their conquest of the universe by their belief in their own supremacy. Krang 1 proclaims that by subjugating other lifeforms, the Krang are liberating them from their own mediocrity.

* SealedEvilInADuel: "Duel" is ''heavily'' stretching the definition of such a one-sided beatdown, but at the end,[[spoiler:Leo manages to use his portal abilities for forcibly move himself and Krang 1 to the other side of the gateway back into the Krang's prison dimension just before Casey removes the key, causing the gateway to close on the Techodrone and blow it into two, and stranding both inside the empty dimension with no apparent way out. His plans ruined, Krang 1 can do nothing but vent his ire against Leo with a ''brutal'' NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that he can only endure, as Krang 1 is simply [[LightningBruiser too fast and strong]] to be evaded or overcome in combat, even when the quartet were working together with their full mystic powers. If his brothers hadn't managed to open a temporary gateway into the dimension to rescue him, it's made clear Leo would have died in short order]].
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:While Krang 1 is stuck in another dimension again and Krang 3 could be dead, Krang 2 is detained by the government in the closing act, which sets up the possibility of her returning later.]]

* SilentAntagonist: Krang 3 never speaks during the movie, being largely content to wordlessly do what Krang 1 says.
* SlouchOfVillainy: Krang 1 sits back in his throne as he watches Leo and brainwashed Raph fight.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Krang 1, as the primary mouthpiece of the Krang, expresses the belief that the only objective truth of the universe is the strong feeding on the weak. He even dismisses the deaths of all but three of his people as removing their weakness from their soon to be rebuilt empire.

* TitleDrop: The Turtles unofficially go with Mad Dogs throughout the series, but during their final battle with Krang 1, they embrace the name of ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles''.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Krang 3's fate after the Technodrome explodes is never disclosed.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After the Turtles manages to trap Krang 1 back in the prison dimension along with destroying the Technodrome, Krang 1 is clearly trying to keep his composure but eventually lets his anger come through as the Turtles have ruined his plans, and he doesn't have any other outlet other than killing Leonardo, who is trapped with him, but can't even enjoy killing Leonardo because he feels his sacrifice was worth being trapped there. Once the Turtles do manage to find a way to save Leonardo and keep Krang 1 trapped, Krang 1 can't do anything beyond scream in anger.]]
* VirtueIsWeakness: Krang 1 only believes in the objectivity of domination and denounces all other virtues as meaningless proclamations from the weak.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Krang 3 more or less disappears from the movie after Donatello hijacks the Technodrome and detains him. Although considering the Technodrome ends up exploding, it's [[UncertainDoom possible]] that Krang 3 died in the explosion.]]

* ChainsawGood: Casey's WeaponOfChoice here is not a traditional hockey stick, but rather a futuristic tech one that has a built-in saw blade function in the tip. Him lacking any other sport-based weaponry like he usually has implied it's a holdover from the training he's implied to have received from his sport-obsessed mom.
* ChekhovsGun: April was busy trying to expose a college's corruption of making chemical deforestation bombs for the government before she ran into Casey. [[spoiler: The chemicals she gathered turn out to be useful against the Krang during her and the heores' escape, though she ran out by the final act]].

* TheAssimilator: These versions of the Krang have this ability, which they use on the Foot Lieutenant and Brute.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In the opening of the movie, while the future battlefield is being shown from Leonardo's point of view, Todd Capybara can be seen firing guns at incoming Krang.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: The Turtles, Splinter and April laugh at Casey's claims he's a time traveler from the future. This is coming from four mutated reptiles and a rat who was once human, having done battle against monsters and supernatural forces.

* BadFuture: This version of Casey Jones comes from one where the Krang has been terrorizing Earth for years. The future version of Leonardo [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong sends him back in time to help his younger self set things right]].

* ShooOutTheClowns: Warren Stone and Hypno-Potamus decide to [[OptOut refuse to partake]] after the Foot Clan begin their plan to summon the Krang, after which the film becomes a lot darker.

* BreakTheHaughty: Leo was made leader of his brothers at the very end of the series. While his wing-it attitude helps him and the team now and then, the events of the movie give him a nasty wake-up call to be the kind of ''true'' leader Casey saw in the bleak future and listen to his friends.

* ThinkingUpPortals: The future Michelangelo is able to do this when he creates a time portal to send Casey back in time, at the cost of his own life. [[spoiler:The present day version of Mikey learns this technique as well to save Leo.]]

* SlouchOfVillany: Krang 1 sits back in his throne as he watches Leo and brainwashed Raph fight.

* Raph also shoves Leo into his escape pod after Leo manages to grab the portal key during the first fight with the Krang. This leads to Raph being captured, interrogated, and ultimately brainwashed by the Krang.

* HeroicSacrifice: The future Michelangelo opens a portal to the past, which he knows will kill him, but does so anyway since there isn't any other way to defeat the Krang in their time. Future Leo chucks Casey through moments before being vaporised by a Krang soldier before his eyes, his last words being to tell Casey to 'have a slice' after saving the past. Raph also shoves Leo into his escape pod after Leo manages to grab the portal key during the first fight with the Krang. This leads to Raph being captured, interrogated, and ultimately brainwashed by the Krang.
