Does anyone see any of the Turtle's having a Heroic BSoD moment?

Invasion is one of the most emotional moments we've had for the turtles in general. So do you think we will see the Turtles have moments where they undergo a full on Heroic BSoD (Blue Screens of Death)? And if they do, how do you see them play out for each Turtle?


For people unfamiliar with the term there is a a computer error in windows run PC's known as Blue Screen of Death. When this error occurs the entire screen turns blue and there is a bunch of white text that essentially says the computer program has hit a critical error and needs to reboot itself to correct it.

However there is also a trope called Heroic Blue Screen of Death. This is where a character witnesses or experiences an earth shattering revelation or event that shakes them to their very core. And this results in the character being flummoxed or shaken to the point of mentally shutting down for a time period.

The reasons for the BSoD varies, it could be as simple as a character learning something about themselves or someone they care about that they never saw coming that really throws them for a loop. Others triggers can be being the cause or unable to prevent the death of a loved one. Or being force to make an impossible choice. And reactions also vary depending on the situation and person suffering from BSOD but common reactions are violent emotional outbursts, angsty moods, emotionally catatonic states, and or short lived retirements.

We have seen Turtles undergo BSoD or potential BSoD moments before. Raph was close to going into one during "Invasion" after Shredder has supposedly killed Splinter. And probably would have had Mikey not stepped in and calmed him down.

A number of BSoD moments for the Turtles occur in the 2k3 series. Most notably Leo after his defeat at the hands of the Shredder in the first season, resulting in him being melancholy. And the fourth season after his entire family nearly sacrificed themselves defeating the Shredder. With the fact that even had to be an option for them bothering him to the point he spends a good point of the season being emo and militant.

Donnie's reaction to the deaths of his bros in SaiNW may have been shock that would potentially become BSoD.

Raph is more likely to have the violent outburst as a BSoD. Triggers being seeing his loved one seriously injured or unable to prevent tragedy within his family to the point he of wanting blood. Or possibly going into an emotional state after seriously hurting someone he cares about in his anger.

Leo may be emo, self-defeating, and sorrowful. Triggers being family and/or loved ones captured or killed by Foot Clan or Kraang. Or seriously injured because of a critical error in judgement.

Mikey maybe uncharacteristically sullen and depressed. Witnessed loss of or harm done to any of his family members.

Donnie BSoD moments tends to vary depending on the trigger. Normally when he's upset about something he either withdraws from everyone preferring to mope by himself, or he beats himself up about the situation.
and depending on the trigger reactions could result in a tearful out burst, emotionally spurred catatonia, shutting himself away from family, obsessively working on projects without eating or sleeping (in the case of Same as it never was done to prevent certain things from happening at all), blaming himself for situation and/or temporary retirement.
