Chapter 35


Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

  • The Cavalry: As Shredder has Leo and Raph wounded and cornered, in-comes Yoshi and Shen who evens the odds.
  • Fantastic Racism: While Jason's parents were happy to see him, they make no reservations for his mutant friends and throwing shade at them and the situation they're in even as the Mutanimals manage to get them to safety from the Kraang.
  • Generation Xerox: Shredder sees similarities in Leo and Raph to Yoshi in himself, growing to hate Leo and admire Raph for this.
  • Jerkass to One: While Shredder has come to see all of Tang Shen's children as having Yoshi's "taint" in them, he makes special exception to Leo for being so much like him.
    Shredder: Every time I look at that boy, I see nothing but his father's treachery staring back at me. Even before I knew he was Yoshi's son, his leadership of the others has been a thorn in my side for far too long. Were it not for his interference, Tang Shen would have not fallen into the mutagen, and I would have coaxed her and Karai to my side months ago.
  • Moment of Lucidity: The chapter starts with Tang Shen in one of her "moments of clarity", and even then her words are accented with Sssssnaketalk.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: While Shredder is losing interest in adopting Tang Shen's children as his own, he remarks that he sees "potential" in Raphael when he is tearing Foot Bots apart with ferocity.
  • Parents as People: Even as Jason's parents become nothing but ungrateful loads as the Mutanimals protect them, Slash asks if Jason really wants them around. While Jason is embarrassed by their behavior, he still insists on helping them because regardless of circumstances, they are his parents.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: While Shredder would have Leonardo killed and Raphael taken in as his son, he also wants Donatello and Michelangelo for pragmatic reasons, the former for being able to make retromutagen and the later for his gift at using Kraang technology.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After everything the Kraang had put her through, April loses it at Kraang Subprime.
    April: I HAVE HAD IT! I have absolutely had it with you stupid Kraang slime balls! You experimented on my mother, kidnapped my father and then brainwashed him, kidnapped my friends, kidnapped me I don't know how many times now, sent a killer robot lady to my school, tortured Leatherhead so much that he goes berserk at the mention of your name, created that stupid goo that mutated my friends and innocent people, teamed up with the Shredder and his brand of awfulness, crushed a city block with your stupid Technodrome, cloned me, brought giant ugly earthquake-making worms here from your crazy dimension, made a brainless brain-switching machine, replaced one of my best friends with one of you, and now you're invading my home like you own the place! Well, let me tell you something, Kraang! YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL!
    [April releases a Psi Blast that blows the Kraang away.]
    Michelangelo: You go girl!
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!:
    Casey: Casey Jones does not ride bitch.
  • Wham Episode: Leonardo is mutated as another turtle.
