Also what turtles get each element? I'm going to assume that they won't have control over the element but they will adopt traits and fighting styles that resemble the element. We know:
-Raph gets FIRE
-Leo gets WIND
-Donnie gets EARTH(I'm going to assume so because of the "mountain" statement
Does that mean Mikey will get water? I like that idea because Mikey is a "go with the flow" kind of guy and water, well, flows. lol.
it said something for forest.

Because he's considered to be a very strange and unique individual.

The words underneath the Turtles (possibly the translation of the pennant next to Mikey) says

In raiding and plundering be like Fire.
Let your rapidity be that of Wind
Be immovable, like a Mountain,
Your compactness, that of the Forest.

That's why I suggested that Donnie and Mikey be both a coronation of earth. And while the elements of Wood and Metal are common in Chinese lore, I have also seen them in Japanese lore occasionally. Sometimes the element of Spirit or light is used as the element of is used in place of void.

If April was water it could be a nod to May Witman's role as Katara. While Katara is a character from a different franchise, Nick TMNT has been known to reference other non-TMNT properties now and again.
