* AnAesop: Splinter asks Leonardo at the end if he's mastered his fear of failing his brothers. He admits he has not, only that he's learned not to let it consume him, making a much more realistic take on the FaceYourFears trope.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Take into account what "fungus" can sound like if said real fast.
