Finished Rewatching the Ninja Tribunal Season
In my rewatch of the 4Kids series, I just finished the Ninja Tribunal season. Here's just a few small thoughts that I have:

Although kind of gimmicky, I enjoyed this season. If memory serves, the season would have been shelved and never released, but Peter Laird paid out of his own pocket to complete the season. The network probably had no intention of airing them at first, but a couple years later when there were no new episodes, changed their mind in order to air "new" episodes.

I've just finished watching this series, both my children and I very much enjoyed this season, I'm glad they allowed it to be finished and finally released rather than just skip to Fast Forward. I wouldn't want the TMNT having powers like that all the time nor a Shredder as powerful as that but for an arc it worked.
I was trying to figure the Yoshi part too, whether the powers were his Spirit. |

The whole series could have ended right here. The last ep of Ninja Tribunal is written like a series finale, probably because they didn't know it would continue yet. But then we got FF, BTTS and Turtles Forever to finish it up.

Very gimmicky season - it had reminded me about "Turtles guest starring in generic anime + Mortal Kombat". It certainly didn't feel like a Turtles story. But it was not bad for what it was.
At lest Turtles Forever were worth it. |

Season 5 is a much better season than Fast Forward or Back to the Sewer. Sumac mentioned a Mortal Kombat feel and I can totally get that. However, the bros have already been in outer space, other dimensions, beneath the earth, time traveled, etc, so it doesn't feel too out of place for me.

I really enjoyed the Shredder Tengu story in this season. And that moment with Splinter and Yoshi's spirit was one of my favorite scenes from the whole series...

Well I noticed in episode 10 father and sons splinter tells the ancient one that's the utrom shared had kill his master. I then watched the tales of master yoshi and chrell was not shown and he did not appear In Yoshi death. Then in secret orings part 3 splinter was partly surprised. This could just be a mistake

Dunno, why, maybe, because, it was so of the wall and similar to the other stuff. |

The 4kids run did have a mystic theme that went on throughout it's airing, so it's fitting it ended with the Turtles tapping into mystic and elemental powers. I do enjoy most of Fast Forward due to the villains, and the final season was just ok, so I'm glad it ran as long as it did. |

How did people feel at the time about this season being ignored? I mean I guess they showed the last eps of season 4 before jumping to Fast Forward?
FF was likely my least favourite season. |

Yeah the Season 4 finale was the same. Season 5 just aired a year after Fast Forward did, so it was confusing but everyone knew a season was skipped for the moment so we expected it to air later.

Well, appropriately named then. Glad I got to watch it in order, I wouldn't have appreciated the story skip.

Oh, Season 5 getting skipped and going straight to Fast Forward was a HUGE deal. People were pissed all across the internet, no matter what site you were on at the time. I absolutely HATED the Fast Forward season at the time. But I've actually come to really enjoy it. My hate for it wasn't really because of what it was, it was because it replaced a critical chapter in the show's story.

It's funny how it aired right after though. Then we got Back to the Sewers around...2008 I think it was? Then Turtles Forever in 2009.
