Chapter 25

Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: When Miwa sees Ice-Cream Kitty (as well as learning just what happened to it), she jokes that Donnie now has a guinea pig to test retro-mutagen on.
For Want Of A Nail:
- Since Master Splinter isn't a rat-mutant in this version, Falco's first official appearance as the Rat King is far less relevant.
- When Karai glimpses into the '87-Dimension, she thinks Lotus Blossom is her counterpart, this being a reference to Lotus Blossom being the closest to a Karai the 1987 series had.
In Spite of a Nail:
- The cat April brings with her still winds up as Ice-Cream Kitty.
- While Splinter isn't a rat in this version, the cheese phone is still a thing, having been a gag-gift given to him for Father's Day.
Mirror Routine: While exploring the dimensional corridor, Mikey does this with his canon-counterpart (refered to as "2012 Mikey"). Being Mikey (both of them), they both instantly forget what was happening once they were called away.
The Multiverse: After having fallen through the portal, Miwa travels through the 1987 dimension, a dimension with four Turtles in superhero outfits flying by futuristic buildings ^note, ends up on the edge of a crowded dance floor listening to four Turtles singing "Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!", appears on a New York rooftop where she spots four Turtles with 'more muscles than she'd seen than some pro wrestlers', and lastly lands on a fire escape above an alleyway, where she spots a another Turtle version of Raphael, college-aged Casey Jones and a mutant arctic fox.
