** In "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E1RiseOfTheTurtlesPart1 Rise of the Turtles, Part 1]]", Leonardo says "It's a pleasure to face you" to Raphael in Japanese (onegai shimasu). In the same scene, Splinter says "Stop" in the same language.
** An online teaser for the second episode has Splinter using Japanese commands to order the turtles to begin ("Hajime") and end ("Yame") a training routine.
** Two more examples from "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E3TurtleTemper Turtle Temper]]"; One of Donatello's insults to Raphael is that he doesn't keep his back straight while doing "omote kote gyaku", and Splinter explains the concept of "ninniku seishin" to Raphael as the ability to endure insults with patience and humility.
*** In general Splinter uses accurate Japanese phrases during training, and the turtles themselves will use the correct technical terms in Japanese.
*** One awkward example is the word "kunoichi". Even Splinter leaves out the last syllable and pronounces it as [[NoPronunciationGuide "koo-no-EECH"]].
