Line 39:
* [[Flash Back]]: The prologue takes place seventeen years before the main plot.
* [[Foreshadowing]]
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Sound effects and action effects are represented by Japanese symbols, rather than English onomatopoeia. [https://web.archive.org/web/20151019070129/http://www.mntgaiden.com/en/?id=608 For example.]
* [[Harmful to Minors]]: Kids are not exposed to violence here... they're SUBJECTED to it.
** Shadow almost drowned twice. First when she was a kid, then {{spoiler|as a plan of the Foot Clan to lure and kill Michelangelo. And before that, she got a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|VERY ugly beating]] from a ninja she kicked in the groin}}.
** Her best friend Davianna was also kidnapped. {{spoiler|She had to watch Shadow being punished, and then she was almost raped.}}
** Being the newest turtle, Renoir is in the line of fire. And that meant {{spoiler|[[Eye Scream|losing his eye]] and falling from a building, after a scrape with a ninja}}. [[Good Thing You Can Heal|Good thing he could heal]]...
*** Maybe Augustus was transformed into Renoir, maybe not. Either case, there is no way [https://web.archive.org/web/20151019072928/http://www.mntgaiden.com/en/?id=85 this] could have been pleasant to him...
** Carole Amherst was taken hostage by {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?|Donatello, of all turtles]]}}, when he was being chased by police, and ended up in hospital.
** Chapter 18 introduced (HUGE SPOILERS) {{spoiler|a young, cloned turtle made by Donatello as a test to clone Splinter. His main uses for him? Guinea pig and punching bag.}}
Line 59:
* [[Science Is Bad]]
* [[Single-Issue Psychology]]
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Holy crap. If your only experience with the Turtles is that goofy cartoon series you watched when you were six, with defanged baddies and wise-crackin' youngsters, you are ''not'' gonna be prepared for the level of violence and gore this piece dishes out. As for the statement this makes about the world, check out [https://web.archive.org/web/20151019072917/http://www.mntgaiden.com/en/?id=642 this page] directly contrasting the idealism of a child with the psychotic actions we've just witnessed from one of the "heroes".
{{quote|People like that are called heroes, right? And heroes, they don't do bad things, right?}}
* [[Time Skip]]: To a time where the turtles are in their mid-30s.
Line 66:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Orignally Chapter 17, but was split into three chapters (17, 18, 19) due to its size. Now Chapter 18 is the aforementioned [[Wham! Episode]].
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: This is NOT the TMNT you grew up with.
** Perhaps this is best exemplified by [https://web.archive.org/web/20151019070518/http://www.mntgaiden.com/en/?id=680 this page].
** [[R-Rated Opening|You figured the prologue would've tipped you off.]]
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Renoir, Shadow, and Davianna have all displayed wisdom that average teenagers in a place like New York City in this day and age may not have.
