* WholePlotReference: Conceptually, the episode's premise is similar to ''Literature/DonQuixote'', which also involves a protagonist deluded into believing he was a knight after reading books on the subject.

* BackstabBackfire: Shredder attempts to backstab Krang by using the impervium force field generator for himself. It backfires as he's cramped into a small space and can't move because the generator was tuned to Krang's size.

When Leonardo takes a bad hit during a fight with Bebop and Rocksteady, he gets a case of IdentityAmnesia and starts believing he's D'Artagnan of ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''. The other turtles and Splinter must humor his delusions if they want to have any chance of stopping Shredder from stealing the Star of Brazil, a gemstone that is made of [[Main/{{Unobtainium}} Impervium]].

* EasyAmnesia: All it takes is getting hit by a flying jewelry stand to start Leonardo's amnesia, and a fall from a high place is enough to bring his memory back.
* IdentityAmnesia: When Leonardo loses his memory, he starts to believe he's D'Artagnan of ''The Three Musketeers''.
* IronicEcho: After Splinter tells the turtles they must humor Leonardo's belief that he is D'Artagnan and they are the Three Musketeers, Leonardo calls Master Splinter a servant and tells him to clean the lair up. Splinter is offended until Raphael reminds him that he just said they had to humor Leonardo.
* TheStarscream: Shredder attempts to backstab Krang by using the impervium force field generator for himself. It backfires as he's cramped into a small space and can't move because the generator was tuned to Krang's size.
* {{Unobtainium}}: The Star of Brazil is a stone called impervium, the lost element of Dimension X.
