Karma is a huge concept in some Asian philosophy. So even though Shredder has no redeemable qualities the Turtles don't kill Shredder because they want him to be able to die with some honor as a warrior. Such as in the first mirage comic, the turtles defeat the Shredder to die with some honor by comitting seppuku. Shredder however chooses death without honor by pulling out a grenade.

If you actually look up Japanese Buddhist views of the afterlife it is like Dantes Inferno on steroids. And depending on the evil one has done the worst off they are.

For example in shows like dragon ball z and yu yu hakusho, where the dead character meets King Enma. King Enma is the 5th judge of the underworld.

The journey through the underworld is a less then pleasant one and it lasts for seven days. And following that journey you are judged and tried by several gods and demons before you are deamed worthy of entering heaven or sentanced to jigoku
