I watched the episode and it was great!
But do you know what's bad? It ended with a cliffhanger. The turtles, Usagi and Kintaro falling off the cliff after the horse battle between Sumo Kuma, his samurais, Miyamoto Usagi and the turtles.

I'm so impressed by this episode! It was so on point with Usagi and as others have pointed out the obvious love and respect for the original source material used here was so obvious and evident. I'm already completely in love with this series and it just grew by ten times more.
I'm so excited for the coming weeks and whats going to happen with this story. I really, really hope Leo and Usagi become friends because I've always enjoyed the different levels of this mutual warrior friendship in other medias. As much as Leo loves his brothers he just needs that friend who understands him and who he is on a level I don't know if anyone else does. Especially now I feel with his added responsibility to support their family this season. I need to watch this again!

That is likely why the turtle tots episode is called Lone Rat and Cubs.

T-U-R-T-L-E-POWA, ah, now I see...yeah, adding the show to the usagi comics could be just too much;(...we needed someone who really has understanding for usagis world and well crafted storytelling who would mount most of the work, then stan could just be serving as a creative consultant perhaps?...having written that I don't know if I would find that solution a good one hahahaha..oh well, I am just so happy this episode (and the next two) exists and is really well made. yes, victory_angel is absolutely on point here, too I think.

I wasn't saying you were wrong, I was just explaining why the turtles just appeared out of the blue and not starting out with them. Stan Sakai did write this episode so it's obviously the reason why there was more focus on Usagi than the turtles.

it could very well have been cut down for timing reasons, couldn't it?
I wanted to say that I got to see the episode last night (thanks to my helper here..) and loved it. did you notice that the village from which usagi picks up kintaro is resembling closely the village in kurosawas film yojimbo?even the little tokage with the severed hand is an image taken from that movie (in yojimbo it was a dog).. loved that in particular!

Is it possible that since the order of season 5 is messed up, one of the episodes that were meant to air before the Usagi arc ends with the turtles being teleported somewhere but we don't see where. Then in the next one (Yojimbo) it shows that it was Usagi's world that they were teleported to.

Are people really having mental breakdowns over the Turtles not being shown in the lair before transported into Usagi's world? Why the hell would anyone want to see that and waste screentime out of the episode?

They probably think Mutagen Man is a "plot hole" too.

The same sort of folks who wanted to boycott the show because they haven't shown the interior of Leonardo's room.
