If the 2003 series continued on what would of been the proper ending?

How would the ''Shredder Wars'' situation have happened?

How would the ''Same As It Never Was'' universe happen? Considering Shredder took the world over, how does this take shape?

How do the Foot recruit members?

What did the Foot/Sakki do during the Meji Restoration Era onto WW1, and WW2.

How did Karai just leave the Foot organization?

If the US Government knew Sakki was corrupt (''Hun on The Run'' episode in Bishops dialogue with Sakki in the prologue proves this'') why didn't they try to covertly take him out?

What would of the Foot been doing if their was never a rivalry with the Turtles?

What would the Turtles be doing today in post Back to the Sewer expanded universe?

We never see a trace of the Foot in Fast Forward. Does the Foot simply go defunct?

1. Uh, depends? If Fast Forward had a second season as planned the Shredder would have returned fused to a triceraton, if Back to the Sewer continued we might have gotten the Shredder war, there could also have been another name change season, who really knows? Regardless, I consider season 5 to be the "proper" ending and FF and BTTS are just pointless sequels.
2. Not difficult to figure out how it starts, Utrom Shredder is freed from his exile, another copy of Cyber Shredder is given physical form, some lunatics revive Demon Shredder (in a weakened state), all this occur around the same time and it creates a split in the Shredder's followers. Khan rhinks he kills the Turtles but they actually got away. As for the ending? One of the following: They're all defeated, one is victorius (presumably the Utrom since the writers would assume he's the one the audience is the most attached to) or a new Shredder emerges and takes the role of main villain.
3. You mean after he's defeated? Boring answer, Earth recovers and becomes more or less what it was before. More exciting answer, the ties between Earth and the Utrom Homeworld lead to an alliance.
4. Mercenaries? People seeking meaning? Brainwashing? Cloning? I honestly don't care but the only individuals we've seen get recruited were Karai and Mashimi. Karai was brought in because she had nowhere to go and Mashimi joined because he wanted revenge. Take a guess from there.
5. Establishing the fake persona of a philanthropist.
6. That's a bit of a continuity hickup, she's absent in all of BTTS except for the wedding and she's never implied to work with the current Foot Clan, yet in Turtles Forever she's back in charge. You could say the group in BTTS is a splinter faction still dedicated to wrong doing but there is no real explaination.
7. I don't know, probable cause?
8. Get the Sword of Tengu, track down the TCRI utroms, take over the facility, complete the Transmat, bring the Foot to the Utrom homeworld to take it over, get back to Earth to take that over, put both Humans and Utroms in a slave army to take over other world and build a universal empire. It's pretty much stated that's what the Shredder wants to do.
9. Fight the Shredder War, I wopuld assume.
10. Or operating from the shadows or other planets.

And what that process was like for the two of them.

Why/when did Ch'rell reveal his true identity to Karai?

And what made Karai so special to Ch'rell. Surely he's passed by hundreds of abandoned orphans in the past. Why her?

And what the hell happened to Ch'rell to make him hate his own kind so much???

1. As I see it, he saw someone he could raise to be a trusted ally he could share the necessary secrets with. Someone had to know he was an Utrom so he could get medical attention and help in other ways he couldn't be in disguise for, but it couldn't be open to every Foot Clan member since it could not be allowed to leak to the public. He might have done the same thing several times over before her.
2. Do you mean if they did it legally? Sure, unless someone familiar with japanese adoption law has something to say.
3. Probably when she could be trusted to keep her mouth shut, teenage years I'd assume.
4. Maybe she had just the right background, maybe he sensed talent in her.
5. He did horrible things to other worlds and tried to take over the governmentm, so they tried to imprison him. He was a fugitive and they were still trying to prosicute him.
