So... what do you think the Turtles did between seasons 8 and 9 of the FW series?
You know, in Turtle Trek the Turtles apparently defeat Shredder and Krang for good by destroying The Technodrome in the process. Then season 9 comes out and Dregg replaces S&K as the main villain. But clearly some time passed between Turtle Trek and The Unknown Ninja. In season 10, Landor and Merrick told the Turtles from the past(season 8 ) that they'd meet Carter in about 2 years. So, therefore, it seems obvious to me that between Turtle Trek and The Unknown Ninja two years have passed.
As we can see at the beginning of the episode the Turtles are watching a video of them fighting a bunch of ninjas on a rooftop. Which is odd considering by that point ninjas were barely a thing in the show anymore. They looked rather similar to Megavolt's ninjas iirc? I guess the Turtles were basically fighting random bad guys, none of them too major. Also, I assume that's the time period where they met Chronos? But I guess nothing really noteworthy happened in those 2 years. The fact Shredder and Krang don't get even a single mention during the entire run of season 9(except in the theme song...) makes me feel the Turtles genuinely believed both to be defeated for good. And the fact tehy just allow a teenager they just met into their group sorta says the Turtles had relaxed and felt safer than ever at the time. But maybe some of you can think of interesting and cool thing the Turtles might have done between "defeating" Shredder and Krang and meeting Carter? Thoughts? PS: Also, I know I always mention this when I talk about Carter, but him knowing about Hamato Yoshi and bringing that up so late in the series was odd and hard to swallow. Not to mention the show was becoming quite scifi heavy by then, so it definitely didn't feel like NINJA Turtles anymore. |

Probably the same as usual. Watching old VHS tapes in the lair or April on the news, chilling in the lair with Don with his inventions, or Mike making pizza...and then as said occasionally stopping crime or a mad scientist or whatever.
As we know even with Shredder/Krang not around the Turtles always got into trouble with random criminals, mad scientists, or the occasional mutant so they were probably busy regardless. |

Also, I wonder if they fought a lot of bad guys before meeting April? Were human Rocksteady/Bebop and their gang the first bad guys the Turtles beat up? Food for thought. |

A lot of ninja training I'm sure, which contributed towards Splinters declaring them his equals in the final episode.

But I'm not a fan of Casey Jones (or anyone else of the turtles' friends and allies) meeting the turtles as a child in the 4 Kids series. He should have been replaced with some unknown boy, later never seen. |

I forgot this... the Turtle no longer enjoyed/ate pizza in the RS seasons, so Mike definitely wasn't making it anymore.

Replacing pizza with popcorn in the series last moment was the biggest troll moment ever.

I never noticed they didn't eat Pizza in the red sky seasons. Do they acknowledge it? If not then it's easy to miss.

I never really noticed that.... did they ever show them eating... well, anything? I know the Red Sky eps had the turtles rush out to stop Dregg more often than not and not really show a lot of down time. I mean, I know the normal seasons would still have time for regular sewer hijinx, or Channel 6 comedy, before the episode would begin proper, but I don't remember a lot of that in Red Sky (especially since Channel 6 was gone).

It was like they thought serious meant 'remove the pizza and everything else is good'.

Other than him kicking a few robotic bats he most relied on his stupid mutation. Doesn't sound very ninja-like to me... |

I don't think that the two years that was mentioned was necessarily the amount of time in between the final episode of season 8 and the first episode of season 9. I would assume that the time between the two seasons was a matter of a few months. What did they do during that time? Patrol, train, relax and watch tv. Pretty much the same things we saw them do up to that point when they weren't fighting Shredder.
