Nick TMNT Question & Answer Thread

[evan2000]

I notice so far there's no centralized thread for people to ask question about the Nick series. Most of the questions end up scattering around the official info thread, or people just make new threads to ask questions. Such threads would get lost into oblivion after some time, regardless if the question was being answered or not.

So I'm starting this new thread for people to post questions and get answers, similar in vein to the "Ask a Question, Get an Answer" thread in the comic section. Please avoid asking for opinion/predictions, ask questions only. And for people who provide answers, citing your source is recommended (if available).

Mods, please sticky this thread if you see fit.

[evan2000]

I'll ask the first question: where did the following clip come from?

I saw a fan-made music video on youtube using this sequence, I'm surprised it's the first time I saw it despite it looked like very early teaser from Nick before the series even premiered. Anyone remember seeing this before?

So how long will the hiatus last?

Dunno, hopefully we will get new episodes in March.

...and they don't seem to have the sequence in the gif above. I can't seem to find it anywhere online... was it a teaser from SDCC/NYCC or something? Anybody who followed the development in early 2012 recall this?

So what? 1+ month since the last one? These airing gaps can be long...

Going by a total of 26 episodes per year (52 weeks) we should be getting an episode every 2 weeks on average. 18 weeks has passed since season 3 premiere in October last year, so we should have gotten 9 episodes by now, and guess what, we already got 10. Technically we are not behind schedule, and if the next "wave" of episodes will cover ep 11-13 (ie. mid-season finale), we are most likely getting them in a row by mid-March, or early-March if we are lucky.

Also we haven't got the movie this year so we not going to have another 3 month hiatus. I expect season 3 will finish by July/August

It tells you when new shows or season premiers start in other countries.

When did season 2 start, season 3 may start round the same time.

Why are Mikey's mask tails shorter than everyone else's?

[Powder]

Why are Mikey's mask tails shorter than everyone else's?

That's like asking why Donnie has a gap tooth. It's just part of his design, another thing to make him unique to his brothers.

For headcanon's sake, maybe he snipped them with a scissor because he thought it'd be cuter.

yeah never thought about it that way, they all have something different about them.

Like Raph's plastron, i want to know about that too!

i was just asking cause I know there was an episode in 2k3 where mikey's mask tails accidentally got cut short because he was doing some flashy move

[IndigoErth]

I assume shorter mask tails may also be more practical and safer with Mikey's weapons paired with his general physical craziness in a fight. Or in unpredictable elements, like a fight outside on a windy day.

[Powder]

Like Raph's plastron, i want to know about that too!


I could be mistaken, but I think Ciro said at a convention panel (or something) that the crack in his shell would one day be explained, but I can't recall where.

[BubblyShell22]

It was either at NYCC or SDCC where Ciro said that. Maybe it'll be explained during the Dark Raph story.

[victory_angel]

It's mentioned in the TMNT:Ultimate visual history book.

On page 181 Brandon Auman says- "The Turtles definitely grow, but you don't want them to change all that much. You don't want Raph to lose his hot temper or Mikey to suddenly understand why he's acting like a goof. That said, we discover things about them that will broaden their characters for sure. Like why Raph is hot tempered, and how that ties into the crack in his shell...that kind of thing."

[Mew]

When will we see Slash again?

[BubblyShell22]

I hope we see him soon now that the boys are back in NYC.

"Nickelodeon Germany To Premiere "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Season Three From Saturday 14th March 2015

Although currently unconfirmed, it is expected that other localised Nickelodeon channels across Northern Europe will also debut "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" season three, including Nickelodeon Belgium (België), Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland) and Nickelodeon Poland (Polska), around the same time."

Yes please.

Why isn't Donnie more serious during medical situations?

For instance, when Mikey gets shell acne, Raph and Leo tease him, but Donnie says to hold up it might be more serious than they think. Then he teases him that he'll eventually explode, but he doesn't laugh or even say he's just kidding. Even when poor Mikey is freaking out about it. Then later on, when he finds out it's serious for real, he is serious. Shouldn't he have been serious from the start?

Same thing for Raph when he has those squirrels inside him. I take that to be very serious and Donnie pretends he's going to let Mikey cut him open. I think he should be more professional about medical stuff. I think there are a few more instances when he makes these deadpan jokes about medical things. His medical advice can't be taken seriously if he isn't professional about it.

I suppose they have to add the element of humor so it doesn't scare the kids?

I guess the short answer is, he's not a qualified doctor, and being a teenager at that?

I remember during my high school days, we used to fool around in the chemistry lab/workshop despite warnings from the teacher to be cautious about safety. And we took it with a grain of salt because... we were immature teenagers? :trazz:

By the way, in Mikey Gets Shellacne, it felt like Donnie secretly knew that Mikey's condition was not as serious as it seemed, he was just exaggerating the severity for fun and possibly to teach Mikey a lesson for messing with mutagen. At the end of the episode Donnie even admitted that he put the antidote on acne pads simply because it was hilarious.

I think it was more of a joke about how Mikey's making a big deal out of nothing with the zits. But then later when he learns how Mikey gets the zits in the first place, it makes his joke more prophetic.

So, I was right.
Season 3 starts airing next Saturday.
I'm a bit sad about having to go through a bunch of filler first, but it's a start.

Nice to know that! Be thankful of what you have, many Asian countries didn't even bother to kick off Season 2 after finish airing Season 1. In my country, they have been rerunning Season 1 all along.

But that's fine, I'm following the US airings anyway :trazz:

Technically we are not behind schedule, and if the next "wave" of episodes will cover ep 11-13 (ie. mid-season finale), we are most likely getting them in a row by mid-March, or early-March if we are lucky.

Guess what, we got more than lucky this time, having episode 11 airing and 12-13 streaming online on the same day (8 March), what more could we ask for? :tgrin:

Nice, is it just once a week or 2 times a week like the UK.

We getting caught up the US quite quickly (thanks to their breaks). Serpent Hunt is tomorrow, The Pig and The Rhino is next Saturday and looks like Battle for New York is is next Sunday. But I bet we going on a break after that.

They did however change it from 17:15 on a Sunday to about 2 hours earlier on a Saturday. Pretty weird but I'll see how it goes.

They're airing the 2nd episode of season 3 in 2 weeks.
On Saturday morning, followed by a repeat of season 2.
They seem to be randomly airing episodes from season 2, mixed with new episodes of season 3.
I sent them a mail about this, I don't want to have to look ever week on which hour they'll show a new episode.

[Amaranthus]

No answer from Nick yet. I doubt they'll respond to be honest.
I'm dying on the inside. Randomly airing new episodes between old ones doesn't seem like a sign of caring for the show.
Hold me.

I thought TMNT was airing once per week nowadays. And yes I know about the Nicktoons channel, but I'm talking about the actual Nickelodeon channel. Now for the questions that I should ask.

1) How did Leatherhead and Kraang Subprime survive their respective battles? 2) What's the point of keeping the Irma disguise since Subprime isn't infiltrating anyplace right now? 3) Was Pete being part of the Mutanimals inspired by the IDW comics?

Amaranthus was talking about Nickelodeon Belgium. If you're referring to Nickelodeon US, the TMNT airing schedule can be found here (http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCProgram.do?sId=EP01589323&t=Teenage+Mutant+Ninja+Turtles&method=getEpisodesForShow&desc=on).

1) Leatherhead was last seen falling into the water during The Invasion. He could have swam away and escaped via the sewer route. Kraang sub-prime obviously survived the spiral staircase falling on him. He could have been injured, but not killed. Judging from his battle scars he is one tough Kraang to destroy, and has great survivability skills. He could have crawled out by himself, or aided by another Kraangdroid to lift up the debris and set him free, after Splinter left the lair.

2) While the Irma disguise is no longer needed, the transformable body and built-in weapons (laser-shooting eyes, detachable crawling head, strong mechanical limbs and circular saw between fingers) can still come in handy during battle. The compact "Irma" mode is also useful as a protection body for KSP, and is way superior to the clumsy Kraangdroids that other Kraangs are using. You wouldn't expect KSP to return to a regular Kraangdroid body after getting used to the Irma body for so long!

3) Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell if the writers at IDW planned this together with Ciro's team from the start, or they both coincidently picked the common members for their respective Mighty Mutanimals line up. Hopefully a behind-the-scene video in the future sheds more light on this question.

KSP likes being pretty. ;p The Irma body is also useful for infiltration. Normal humans aren't going to suspect a teenage girl walking among them.


Hey, non-US folk? Is there a reason you're waiting for the eps to air instead of picking them up on animeflavor or watchcartoononline? (Not to condescend, just wondering the reason...) Both are pretty good sites, but DO have your ad-blocker on. Usually the new eps show up on the sites about 10pm here (Netherlands, so Amaranthus would be in the same one as us... what was that... GMT +1?).

Anyway, that's one way you can get them without the wait. We download ours on our laptop and hook it up to the tv with an HDMI cable.

[Amaranthus]

Dutch Nick doesn't have the same broadcasting times as Belgian Nick.
Also, watching online uses a lot of bandwidth, and I just prefer television.
I'm glad I'll be able to see season 3. But I just want it to go to a regular timeslot instead of them airing it between repeats of season 2.
They never did that with season 2. Why do it now?

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

Anyone know of a release date for a DVD box set of Season 2?

I didn't like it, to be honest. I hope I'll be able to see the non-filler episodes soon.
Fix that f*cking timeslot. They're not even promoting new episodes like they did with season 2.

I have a weird question. Okay, so considering how the mutations go (that you turn into the last thing you made contact with) well... So since Yoshi bought the turtles, I'm assuming he handled them as well and that's how they became turtle humanoids... So if that's the case then maybe it's appropriate that Splinter calls them his "sons". Perhaps they are an extension of his self.

Okay so my question is: If Splinter and the turtles are a family, and Leo loves Karai who is Splinter's daughter, is that, like, incest? I don't know. I've just been thinking about that whole mess of a situation. I know they aren't REALLY related by blood but it seems pretty close considering the mutagen and how that works. Or! I could just be over-analyzing things as I sometimes do :P

Yes, it would seem that Karai is now their "sister", even Mikey called her that before. However Leo didn't know that when he had a crush on her. As soon as he found out, he now sees her as their "long lost sister". I don't see any sign of Leo having a crush on her any more. I hope :trazz:

Kinda think of it, they were still flirting a bit in Vengeance is Mine when Leo rescued Karai from the prison cell :trolleye:

Why exactly are they so weirded out? Because he used a Kraang droid's arm to block the door? Is that all? That doesn't seem entirely odd to me...at least, not worth being stared down and called "seriously twisted." Is there some other joke going over my head here, or is that all there is to it?

Imagine someone broke your arm and use it to block the door where you're trapped inside. Yeah that's not weird or anything :trazz:

Nick only got away with this because the Kranngdroid is a "robot" and not an actual human.

[Gunpowder]

Yeah, I guess. But since it's a robot we're dealing with, it doesn't seem all that weird to me, I dunno. I just feel like their response was a little dramatic, is all. He did what he had to.

It's definitely not a weird question - it's something I've wondered myself and I know there's been a lot of debate about it, both here and on other sites. Yoshi may have handled the turtles before their mutation... or maybe they were handled by pet-store employees who put them into the bowl before they were sold to Yoshi. I don't think there's a definite answer on this - IMO, Splinter regarding them as his sons is based on him raising them and loving them and caring for them like a father would... not necessarily just because they have his genetic material.

I'm thinking maybe Leo and Karai's relationship will play out as more of a Luke/Leia thing - initially there's an attraction and some flirting but eventually it settles more into a brother/sister dynamic.

[KrN]

Leo clearly doesn't see her as a sister. In Serpent Hunt when Mikey told Karai he's her brother, Leo specifically said "friend".

Besides, at the last comic con when Kelly Hu was there, Ciro mentioned that Leo had a crush on Karai still and that was after Vengeance is Mine aired.

[senpai]

Thanks for your answers, guys! :D I wasn't sure if Leo was still crushing on Karai or not. I suppose that might be hard for him to do now that she is a mutant losing her humanity bit by bit. But there's no doubt he cares about her. I didn't consider the pet-store employees handling them! That's a good conjecture. Makes sense.

Yeah, I think it was the 87 theme he was humming in "I think his name was Baxter Stockman".

[evan2000]

Yes, the part when the turtles met Baxter Stockman for the first time, they were about to attack him and Mikey asked everyone to WAIT because he need to keep his T-pod, he was humming the tune as he was doing it.

We'll probably never know. TMNT only aired in Japan up to the Season 1 finale, it's not even known if they will resume with Season 2 anytime soon.

Yes, according to this instagram post:

If Bradford and Xever both touched the turtles before being mutated, then why was Bradford turned into a dog and why Xever a fish? Hmmmm..

[evan2000]

If Bradford and Xever both touched the turtles before being mutated, then why was Bradford turned into a dog and why Xever a fish? Hmmmm..

Bradford was previously bitten by the Akita dog so he had dog DNA in his blood stream already. Xever handled a struggling live fish with his bare hands so his skin could have mild cuts/scratches from the fish scales/fins.

I guess when it comes to mutation the animal DNA right in your blood stream is going to be more dominant than one you barely came in skin contact with during battle. It's not just about what you last touched, the amount of DNA it left on you also affects the mutation result.

I see. It's a reasonable answer, though I am not certain if I can believe it entirely. Taking Snakeweed for example, he was touched and pummeled by the turtles but he gets turned into a giant weed just because he was standing on it. Thinking back, most of the mutations that were incidental did have some kind of other affliction. Like Spider Bites was bitten by a spider right before he was mutated. I can't think of any others off the top of my head. I definitely appreciate your answer, Evan!

[senpai]

Donatello keeps saying the mutagen in 2012 is unpredictable and unstable, so :lol: the mutations might just be unpredictable and unstable!

Possibly. I'll take that. :D

Question for other peoples' opinions! Is it just me or do the first two episodes of the series seem very cinematic to you? Revisiting them, it felt like I was watching a legit movie! I think Nick handled the beginning of the show splendidly!

Do the turtles ever call Master Splinter "father" or "dad"?

I think I can recall Leo saying it once, in the Rat King episode.

In the TCRI episode, the turtles encounter the air of Dimension X. What's the deal with that? Were they making the air more suitable for more aliens to exist? Because Kraang seems to be able to breathe the air from the Earth just fine. o.O

Why was Mutagen Man not named "Mutagen Boy"? Timothy wasn't exactly an adult yet, so I don't know why he was named "Mutagen Man".

The terror bears are from the Ninja turtles RPG I believe. Also the name sounds too much like Care Bears. Even if the name is in reference to something else the design is similar enough to cause copy right infringement.

[TurFlytle]

Was the pic of the turtles and April in Shredder's lair ever shown in an episode? My mind is foggy a bit.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, during season 2 I think, there was a pic with April and (possibly) all 4 turtles in Shredder's lair. They were gasping at something. Can anybody link me to that and tell me if that was ever in an episode?

[DevilSpooky]

This isn't a question specific to the Nick TMNT, but, why is Fox prohibiting Marvel from using the word mutant in any of their movies, but TMNT can?

Because Fox owns the rights for the X-Men movies, a series people ussually associate with the word mutant, they don't own the word though so they can't do anything to Viacom from using it, they are just trying to cling to the property as best as they can. SONY is more open to let Marvel use Spider-Man, they made a deal with them to let them use him on the Avengers and they'll co-produce a new series of films, but Fox will try to hang on to X-Men as long as they can because $

Mutagen Man sounds cooler then Mutagen Boy.

Spider-Man is still Spider-Man even though Peter started out as Spider-Man when he was a young teenager

Voltron & other assorted mech anime series.

Aliena, it seems to be based on Super Robot Monkey Hyperforce Go!, which was a show Ciro worked on before coming to the Nick show. It also seems to have elements of Voltron and the Power Rangers.

Mostly, it's based on SRMHG!

Wrong. SRMHG, like Super Mecha Robo Force Five!, was inspired by Voltron. They share the same root of influence.

This is Voltron's human cast, clearly the main inspiration for SMRF's character design:

http://www.cheezey.org/voltron/pics/arus/misc/voltron_force_profiles.jpg

So, no, it's mostly based on Voltron, if only visually. I haven't watched SRMHG so I can't speak to the similarities of anyone's personality. Their namesakes are similar, though.

At least I was close though. Alright Powder, got it. I thought it was SMHFG! because of Ciro and some of the voice actors being on it. Voltron was my main guess, just thought the producers were referencing a previous show they did. My mistake.

Aliena, I'd listen to Powder on this. It is Voltron.

[Splinter the boss]

I have been asking myself two questions lately, which I made some research upon, but couldn't get answers.

1. Are the turtles related by blood ?

2. Are the punk frogs related by blood, or are they brothers only because of the mutagen ?

According to my research, Rasputin is Napoleon's brother. And yet Napoleon did not hesitate to call Rasputin's mom a traitor. If they're brothers, why would Napoleon call his own mother a traitor ?

[victory_angel]

I have been asking myself two questions lately, which I made some research upon, but couldn't get answers.

1. Are the turtles related by blood ?


Usually when it comes to the Turtles as brothers, relationship is clearly specified.

Such as Next Mutation where it's stated that they aren't biologically related even though they call themselves brothers.

Or in the TMNT 2007 seven where Mikey comments that the creature they fought the previous night looked like Donatello's mother. And Donnie responds by saying "That means it looked like your mother too."

Or the concept is never brought into question.


However we have had turtles are related as brothers (Mirage, Image, IDW, 2K3,) turtles that are not related (OT, Next Mutation)

We haven't had nick story where three of the turtles are related and one is not. But the villain twisted enough to be in a plot line like that would be Bishop.

[Splinter the boss]

Thank you for your answer. Now, does anyone know anything about the punk frogs ?

[TurFlytle]

Thank you for your answer. Now, does anyone know anything about the punk frogs ?

They were never given that much of a backstory. We honestly don't know. All we knew was that they were frogs that despised humans for destroying their forest. Then they got mutated by Mom-thing. That's all the backstory. You should try asking Brandon or Ciro.

[victory_angel]

Brandon Auman answered my question about Bishop appearing and shot down my April is a neutrino theory.

In the industry you basically get three types of answers.

Direct Answer

Vague Answer

and No Answer.

Direct Answer-would be something they can reveal to you knowing that what they tell you won't spoil anything.

Such as saying that "No April is not a neutrino, she is a normal human who has some Kraang DNA."

Vague answer- Is when they would give you a respond that doesn't directly answer the question because doing so could spoil something. But instead they would provide what they feel does answer the question.

such as saying "Keep watching, you may be surprised ;)" as a way of saying "You are on the right on the money...but I just can't say at this time."

No response has two meanings

1. I am too busy to respond to your inquiry. I may respond if I get around to it.

2. I can't answer your question, because doing so would spoil something upcoming.

Is Kraang prime a lady or a man ?

I think Ciro confirmed Kraang Prime as male, but KP is voiced by a female in Rosanne. Personally, I think the Kraang are genderless, but if true according to the man himself, it's a male.

Remember, male characters are voiced by females on occasion, such as Frieza originally voiced by a female in Linda Young, leading to major confusion. I can sorta see the issue in confusion. Especially believing since KP is like a queen bee.

Okay, I'm just babbling, Ciro confirmed KP is male.

Karai is a special mutant because that unknown chemical was dumped in the snake serum. This enables her to revert between human and mutant snake at will. It's not yet known what this chemical is or what Stockman did to restore her mind to human.

Donnie mentions in the vision quest episode that Deer were messengers of the divine in the Shinto religion. It was also meant to represent the Spirit of Splinter so he could inform his sons that he was alive.

I have a question! :) Is there an official answer for the age order of the turtles in the Nick show? I know that popular belief is Leonardo > Raphael > Donatello > Michelangelo, but has that been confirmed?

I know in one of the recent episodes that Raph refers to Mikey as Little Brother - though admittedly that could be interpreted as a dig about his height rather than age.

I've always assumed the turtles hatched from the same clutch. So any real age difference would be (I assume) a few hours.

In The Deadly Venom, Baxter has somehow managed to transform her back into a human and reverse the effect of her snake mutation. Okay, I'm good so far. Then he infects her with a brainworm which will make her completely loyal to Shredder. Yeah, I follow that. But what's the deal with her becoming snakelike again once the worm's in her? Did the worm cause her to mutate again? There's a very clear distinction between human & serpent in the before & after, so I'm assuming it was the worm that did it - and if that's correct, then would removing the worm from her system make her 100% human again?

stockman didnt really cure her, he just stabilized her mind be4 inserting the worm and the worm brought out the animalistic side from the snake dna

[Gunpowder]

I guess that makes sense. All he said was that he turned her human again, so I was misled.

Also, after all of this happens, Donnie spends the next handful of episodes trying to create a formula to stabilize the brainworm, right? But in Clash of the Mutanimals, Rockwell removes the same type of worm from Slash in a matter of seconds. So couldn't he have single-handedly saved Karai as well? Especially since her human form was stable before the worm's injection?

[RomanceDawn]

Hey guys, i have season 1 of this show on DVD here in the US. Is season 2 available at all? I catch a random episode here and there on TV but I don't want to invest much time into it until I can catch up, at least a little bit.

What's available as a box set and where can I buy it? Or if there are no box sets I might consider buying those individual set of DVD's I see at Target and such. I just can never tell if the episodes are in order and which seasons they go to.

[picassotheninjaturtle]

Well, Seasons 2 & 3 should be available at a local WalMart. But you're gonna have to buy the 6 seperate DVD's that make up 2 & 3. Or you could just wait for them to be made into complete DVD's.

EDIT: You can buy the complete DVD of 1 & 2 instead of buying them separately.

Why did the turtles decide to resume living in the old lair even though the Kraang knew were it was and could potentially return? For that matter, why didn't Karai directly attack the lair during her brainwashing? Combined question, why do the Turtles keep living in a place they should know fully well isn't safe anymore?

[Splinter the boss]

It's simple really. Home is home no matter what, it's where they have been ever since they've been mutated. Plus, it is ideal, I can't imagine them staying in the pizza place for long, it is in the open.

[victory_angel]

Because sets are expensive.

That and the times that Karai has been to the lair was when she had been their friend (sort of). The brainworm likely suppresses memories that don't fit with what Shredder wants her to believe. Also the Karai is a snake mutant, so having her go to the lair and slaughter the turtles in their beds is too easy. Where as a predator she wants the thrill of hunting down her pray, not just killing them.

As for the Kraang only Kraang subprime really has been lead to the lair while the other Kraang have just teleported to to the lair itself. The Turtles didn't return to the lair until the Kraang and their technology were teleported back to Dimention X. So the Kraang had no way of presuming that the Turtles had returned to their lair. As far as the Kraang knew they found a new place in the sewers to live.

[neatoman]

So if there was a crapload of Technodromes in Dimension X, why did the Kraang even bother to repair the one that crashed into the ocean?

Yup I know a couple others are missing too but seeing Mona Lisa not being existent at all after seeing what one-of-a-kind relationship went off between Raph and Mona and not have a Mona figure makes me shake my head. It's not that I have a deep relation to the current series' Playmates figures but Mona would probably worth a good shot.

From what I see they just started the season so by november or will they stretch it to the spring of 2018?

I just want to know when I should start my marathon but I also remember this show having various hiatuses. Thought you guys would have a better guesstimate.

[CyberCubed]

There's only 16 unaired episodes left, so hopefully they air them all by the end of 2017.

[Redworld96]

The official Facebook account said that the show will end by later this year. Probably between october-december.

[sdp]

\thanks, look forward to my marathon of the show if it's indeed later this year, I guess by the fall we should know around the time the show will end, since I'll only be able to watch around 2 episodes per day I would need to start around september or october, depending.

Last time I did something like this with a show that was ending I timed it perfectly and finished my marathon on the exact day the finale aired. It's also been nearly 5 years since my last marathon of a TMNT show...


another question: So there have been two CG TMNT comics right? What are their names? Are they difficult to track down/were they short or long runs?

The Nick comics are drawn in 2D, but they're mostly "filler" stories with no impact on the main canon. You basically just read them for extra stories as they use some of the secondary mutants a lot more and give them more appearances. Like there's a Baxter/Spiderbitez team up issue, Muckman and the Punk Frogs appear again, etc.

In total there was 24 issues in the first volume, and the second had 14, plus there's the Batman/Nick TMNT crossover of 6 issues, plus some specials like another 4-part robot-animals one coming out now. So altogether it was nearly 50 issues.

Something's been bugging me since rewatching Season 4 from the start: Fugitoid mentioned that their space suits came with "alien language translators"

Does that mean that all the while, most of the space aliens weren't conversing with the turtles (and each other, for the matter) in English, but in their respective native language instead? While the language translators were performing two-way conversion for the turtles to seamlessly blend in to all the alien conversations?

And by aliens, I mean all of them including the Triceratons, the Salamandrians, the Utroms, the Aeons, Hiidrala, Lord Dregg, Armaggon, Wyrm, Bellybomb and all the other random aliens they met at Planet Varanon and Zayfod's Cantina. Of those, we know for sure that the Salamandrians also came equip with language translators (as Newtrailizer used it on earth before), the Utrom/Kraang suits have them too, and the Triceraton possibly have them as well (which explains Zog's ability to converse on earth). If you recall, the Triceratons' native alien language sounds like "whoop... whoop" as heard in their spaceship pilot communications, so they can't possibly converse with the turtles without a translator BEFORE the turtles met Fugitoid at the end of Annihilation Earth! Well... unless they learned English beforehand, like Kraang Prime/Sub-prime did :tlol:

So, throughout the entire space arc, the turtles' language translators were in action which allowed the turtles (and us!) to hear all the dialogs in English, but they were really alien language in actual situation? What happens when multiple alien races converse at the same time? This is pretty mind-blowing if you truly think of it :teek:

Here's my question, I haven't been able to watch any of the final season tales of Tmnt. Has there been any news of the first volume DVD release?

[ToTheNines]

Here's my question, I haven't been able to watch any of the final season tales of Tmnt. Has there been any news of the first volume DVD release?

First 4 episodes are on this one:

Fred Wolf 3 part crossover and Lone Rat and Cubs will be on this one out September 12:

Every episode that's aired is available digitally. Amazon/iTunes, etc.

[STORMSHADOW__210]

Thanks ! The first 4 episodes being on the last volume is what confused me .

[neatoman]

Any news about when the Mad Max arc is going to air, be released digitally or get a DVD? If we know that then we know when the show is effectively over.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Nope, no news about that. However, Im guessing that since we're getting both the Crossover and the Monster Arcs this September on DVD, then it wont be long before the finale also comes out on DVD, I presume a month later, right before October finishes.

[THGhost]

I'm very confused right now with the order of season 5. If the show is over, why are there 7 more episodes scheduled to air? Why air the finale (Mutant Apocalypse) ahead of them? I haven't seen any of the other 7 and have no interest in buying DVDs for just a few episodes.

I can answer this one. Nick has aired season 5 mostly out of order except for the first arc. Here is the production order of how the episodes should've been aired:

I'll go in arcs rather than episodes unless you need the names of individual episodes.

1. Kavaxas arc - 4 episodes
2. "Lone Rat and Cubs" - 1 episode
3. Monster arc - 4 episodes
4. "When Worlds Collide" - 2 episodes
5. BnR crossover arc - 3 episodes
6. Usagi arc - 3 episodes
7. Future arc - 3 episodes


There is a slight carryover with continuity between the Usagi arc and the future arc that tells me the Usagi arc happened right before the future arc.

This is how they have been airing:

1. Kavaxas arc
2. "When Worlds Collide"
3. Usagi arc
4. "Lone Rat and Cubs"
5. Future arc
6. Monster arc
7. BnR crossover arc.

So, yeah. They have only aired one "Tale" in the correct order all season. 😕

Thanks a lot. :)

Any particular reason why Nick has done this? The only sense I can make out of this is that Nick wants to air the Monster arc around Halloween?

At least the 2 remaining arcs are going to be aired in order, according to the episode list on Wikipedia at least.

Yeah, they wanted to air the monster arc around Halloween, but they have even gone back on that slightly with airing the first two episodes last night instead of waiting until actual October. Another episode airs next Wednesday then the final one isn't until early November. Then they're airing the BnR crossover as Nick's intended finale. I'm guessing they wanted the show to end on a lighter arc because the actual series finale is really dark.

Mind you, the rest of the series is airing on Nicktoons and not Nickelodeon. It's all very confusing because things keep changing. I absolutely HATE the way Nick has been treating this final season.

[THGhost]

Hmmm, Wikipedia says the last of the Monster arc airs on October 11th, not early November. The B&R "finale" is also apparently airing all at once on November 12th. This could all easily change though. I'll keep my eyes peeled around those dates.

No the 4th episode of the Monster Arc airs on November 5th but don't no if it's Nickelodeon or Nicktoons

The Crossover Arc airs on November 12th on Nickelodeon.

[THGhost]

Thanks, Vicky. I had a feeling Wikipedia couldn't be trusted.:P

If this season was one big storyline I'd be kinda annoyed that I've seen the finale already, but since it isn't, I don't really mind. :tthumbsu:

Yeah, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia. Especially with updated information. Zap2It is a much more reliable source. I have used it since this series began. They have been really accurate for the most part, but even they have had to edit their schedule within the last couple weeks because Nick kept changing its mind on the airing order. 🙄

[Vicky82]

I'm glad that the Mutant Apocalypse isn't airing as the final, it was alright but it had some issues, so it didn't feel like a final to me.

It's good that the crossover arc is the final now because a lot of characters are in it and the ICK song is at the end.

[THGhost]

I agree, Vicky. A lot of characters were missing with little to no explanation as to what happened to them. Reminds me of Logan actually, all the X-Men were dead with basically zero explanation.

[Vicky82]

It wasn't just that. All 4 turtles should of been in it from start to finish, I also didn't like they were separated for years and years. There should have been more explanation of the Mutagen Bomb and I wasn't keen on old age Mikey.

[THGhost]

I wasn't keen on old age Mikey either, he'd lost that certain charm that Mikey has always had.

So the Mutagen bomb isn't explained in any of the other episodes? It just comes out of nowhere? That's a shame.

Well, even though I'd criticise the logic behind this mutagen bomb, it's not like concept came out of nowhere, remember mid-season 3?

[THGhost]

Also season 1? But who made this Mutagen bomb? Where did it come from? :P If it was the same one made by the Kraang, it seems they also wiped themselves out in the process.

Hold on, what carryover are you talking about? I don’t remember any correlation between Usagi and the Mutant Apocalypse.

Leo only has one sword in that flashback. In the last episode of the Usagi arc (I know I won't get the name right), Leo's other sword was shattered by Kintaro. I can't get a pic of the flashback on my phone, so I can't show you what I mean. But he only is wearing one scabbard on his shell.

Actually in this pic he is carrying 2 swords,

There might be little details connecting them, such as Raph mentioning Dimensional Portals at the beginning of the Usagi Arc in reference to the crossover, but they're not meant to be in strict continuity, hence its called Tales of the Tmnt.

[Kit31]

The crew always intended for the production order to be the correct order to view the episodes in. True, most of them can be viewed in any order, but there are a few things I noticed in season five that would make more sense in they were seen in production order. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah and we saw Mikey with that communication device talking to Renet in Worlds Collide but as it was supposed to air before the Monster Arc, we never see Renet give the communication device to Mikey, so he could of got it some other time or Donnie made it for him.

[Kit31]

Actually in this pic he is carrying 2 swords,

https://i.imgur.com/Fjff5Y9.png

I kept rewatching that scene and that little bit isn't always there. The one I was referring to was the first one with Leo when you only see the back of him. That 'second scabbard' isn't there.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I can understand seeing stuff like Renet in the Monster Arc and Mentioning Dimensional Travel in the Usagi Arc as tying the episodes together, but not Leo's swords.

He could've just gotten a new one after one of his old ones broke.

[Kit31]

I still say it's continuity, but whatever. And there was that one time after Leo lost BOTH swords in "Return to New York" when BOTH returned at the end of the episode. :lol:

Yeah, he did break and lose his original swords a few times before he got the new ones.

That kind of thing happened A LOT in the 80s cartoon. I remember someone here (a while ago now) saying that it happening in this show show was a reference to the 80s cartoon. Not convinced it is, but hey.

I always saw it as a goof, but then you have something deliberate that comes straight out of the 80's show when one Turtle had the wrong voice come out of him in an episode. I know that was a jab at the '87 show. ;) Anyway, I still don't know if the sword thing was one of those pesky inconsistency things or intentional.

[Powder]

Not a jab, but an homage.

[THGhost]

Besides the "Monsters And Mutants (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0743QRBZH/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IBGJERZSW8S4D&colid=2SM86M0Q7UV6W)" and "Wanted - Bebop And Rocksteady (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075MVH8V6/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1SIHVAPDRHHTE&colid=2SM86M0Q7UV6W)" DVDs, has any more of season 5 been released on region 2 DVD?

[Chris]

I don't think so. Really hope they release the Kavaxas arc soon.

[newhire13]

I don't understand the confusion with the sword thing. I mean, there's a gap between where we last saw the turtles and when the mutagen bomb dropped (I might be wrong but didn't Ciro say the turtles were 21 when the bomb dropped?). He could have gained and lost a few swords during that time so his having 1 or 2 swords really doesn't matter.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Are we getting a Compete Series DVD/Blu Ray set?
