Season One

"These freakish thorns in my side must be removed... permanently."

—Oroku Saki

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their Master Splinter begin a new life in a new lair after their previous home was destroyed by Baxter Stockman's Mouser robots. Their involvement with Stockman leads to them becoming full-time heroes for the city of New York, and they come to befriend the brilliant antique shop owner April O'Neil and the roguish vigilante Casey Jones. However, it also brings them in contact with various foes and villains, like the hulking Purple Dragon leader Hun, who answers to the mysterious Oroku Saki. As the leader of the Foot Clan with a personal touch to the Turtles' lives, the Turtles find that Saki - a.k.a. the Shredder - has become the chief threat to it.

"You know, I'm starting to miss the Shredder right about now..."

—Michelangelo

The Turtles' world gets a whole lot bigger - literally. They find themselves transported across the universe to the middle of a galactic war over Professor Honeycutt, who ends up being the key to them returning home. Back in New York, the criminal underworld erupts into war over Shredder's territory, and his adopted daughter Karai arrives from Japan to take control of the city. The Turtles' adventures take them from familiar places and new ones, all the way to the biggest brawl of them all in the Battle Nexus tournament!

"Let a new age begin!"

—Traximus

The Triceraton Republic has arrived on Earth in search of Professory Honeycutt for a full-scale invasion. The devastation leaves the world forever changed, and the Turtles find themselves thrown into new territory and even stranger adventures across time and space. While Hun struggles to earn his keep in the Foot and Karai questions her honor, black ops agent John Bishop emerges from the shadows to target the Turtles. The Shredder then sees an opportunity in the chaos of post-invasion New York - an opportunity that may force the Turtles and Splinter to make the greatest sacrifice of all if they are to prevent the Shredder from returning to the stars.

—Leonardo

Things go From Bad to Worse as Hun returns to the Purple Dragons to create a new criminal empire, Bishop's experiments accidentally engineer a mutant outbreak in New York hitting close to home, Karai takes on her exiled father's mantle and leads the Foot on a warpath to kill them, and dark forces conspire all the while to bring about the return of the most dangerous foe of all.
