* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: In "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S5E4MoreWorldsThanOne More Worlds Than One]]", Chikara-Shisho harshly criticises Leo and Mike over their lack of progress, making them feel like failures. The Ancient One notices this and decides to give them an advice: "Do not let Chikara-Shisho's beauty or lack of yelling deceive you. She is one of the harshest of the shisho." Leo and Mike have to point out that her being harsh is the reason they are moping in the first place.

* {{Expy}}: He is basically the Yoda of this universe. He is a short, funny-looking TricksterMentor who annoys Leo by asking for food continuously and pretending to be a senile old man who knows the real Ancient One, similar to how [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Yoda did similar things to Luke]].

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In "Scion of the Shredder" he foresees Karai's attack on the lair and immediately sends Leo home to help his family.



* HonoraryGrandparent: To Splinter being Yoshi's adopted father, and by extension, honorary great-grandparent to the Turtles.



* PutOnABus: At the end of the fifth season he accepts a place among the Tribunal's ranks and doesn't return until the series finale.



* VocalEvolution: After his first appearance, David Chen adopts a much reedier voice when playing the character.



* AmazonianBeauty: Chikara is quite tall and beautiful, and just as deadly a warrior as her cohorts.



* TheComicallySerious: Hisomi is the most straight-laced of the four and that gets him acquainted with some of the show's more comical characters. Mikey is the one who outperforms him, and in the series finale Gen tries to steal his wedding present for Casey and April.



* TookALevelInKindness: It's subtle but Kon-Shisho shows a little bit of pride and being impressed as he watches their pupils develop, as well as some protectiveness of them when their temple is attacked.

In the series finale they're much nicer in their few appearances, with Kon even comforting Casey's mother when she cries happy tears over her son getting married.

* LaserGuidedKarma: In hindsight, the Foot Mystics more or less got what they deserved through the Tengu Shredder being a BadBoss who either punished them brutally or showed little concern for their lives since the Mystics themselves brutally killed and gave little mercy to lower ranked monsters like the Kappa demon who failed to defeat the Turtles and the Acolytes.

Added DiffLines:

* RightForTheWrongReasons: They immediately advocate killing Karai, but only because they want payback for how badly she treated them. It turns out that would've actually been very wise tactically, as Karai being a Shredder herself meant she could (with enough concentration) drain the Tengu Shredder of his energy and give the Turtles a fighting chance.


Added DiffLines:

* InvisibleToAdults: The Mystics gave him a special amulet that prevents "the wise and world-weary" from seeing him. Whereas the Turtle Tots could point right at him, Splinter and the Ancient One were initially at a great disadvantage during the fight.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His attempt to claim the artifacts is how the Ninja Tribunal came to view the Turtles as having the potential to become acolytes one day.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: Because the Turtle Tots could see him, he warned them to keep their mouths shut or else. Later, while pummeling Splinter and the Ancient One, he promises the kids that they're next.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Juto, Chikara and arguably Kon have (many) moments of being unnecessarily mean-spirited and insulting towards their acolytes but do show concern for each other when the Foot Mystics attack and are workming for a greater good when they could easily use their powers for evil conquest instead.
