* AluminumChristmasTrees: The principle of ''Wu wei'' the episode introduces isn't something the show had made up for once. It's an old Chinese-Daoist principle that means "effortless action" or "actionless action", being able to carry out tasks with skill and efficiency without effort, something that modern Western audiences would describe as being "in the zone." The opening shows a serviceable demonstration, Leonardo using a simple block to counter Donatello's aggression, while the Turtles sitting and [[NiceJobFixingItVillain letting the villains defeat themselves]] in the climax is less accurate.

* FridgeBrilliance: Donatello is a victim of the use of ''Wu wei'' the most in this episode. This makes a lot of sense because he's TheSmartGuy of the group, thus he relies primarily on his cunning and analytical mind, while ''Wu wei'' requires a clear head and effortless action. It makes so much sense, the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 show]] did a similar premise in "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E7MonkeyBrains Monkey Brains]]" where Donatello needed to learn how to "fight without thought".
