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.

I just came across it. This is very exciting! I didn't think they would be returning after Wormquake.

And I guess that's the only hint we have for now.

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!

Possibly. I'll take that.

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!

It's a shout out to the original OT/Mirage designs.

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

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

I know they mostly just say Splinter or sensei, which is fine, i was just wondering

Raphael said "father" in "Return to New York".

Why does Baxter use a giant fishbowl of mutagen for his experiments when you don't even need a full canister to make a mutant?

For show. Drama effect!

Do ppl actually say break free irl?

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

[Warhorse]

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?

[TurFlytle]

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

[Papenbrook]

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".

[Powder]

Because that's the characters name. Mutagen Man. They're not gonna just change lore for no reason.

Then why do we have Dream Beavers as opposed to Terror Bears?
