* WrongGenreSavvy: In the sequel, when the Turtles and Rangers learn that Casey is now Ranger X and working for Rita, they immediately assume Rita placed him under a spell like she did with Tommy, and the key to breaking the spell is to destroy Casey's hockey stick just like how breaking the Sword of Darkness was the key to freeing Tommy. So in the next fight, Raph takes on Casey and shatters his hockey stick...only for Casey to reveal that, no, he was not brainwashed; he really is working for Rita on his own free will.

** Casey Jones is a good fighter but he isn't usually shown to be on the same level as more elite Foot members like Karai. In the sequel miniseries, Casey takes on Karai on a rooftop battle and defeats her. And that's before he turns into Ranger X, becoming an "evil Green Ranger" equivalent to the Turtles that Tommy once was for the Power Rangers.



* PowerCreepPowerSeep: While there are a [[Anime/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesLegendOfTheSupermutants few]] [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles outliers]], the Ninja Turtles are mostly known as being BadassNormal characters (ie: as normal as can be for mutated biped turtles trained in the martial arts with peak-human/low-superhuman strength) while the Power Rangers in uniform are more explicitly superpowered. In this crossover, the Turtles are portrayed as being on par with the Rangers in a LetsYouAndHimFight scenario and that's ''before'' they take on Ranger powers to battle Rita's forces.

** Likewise in the sequel, Shredder is the beneficiary of this. Normally, one would need to have the powers of a Ranger to take on Scorpina, who's on the same level as Goldar, and even then, victory isn't guaranteed against her. Here, Shredder knocks her out in a single powerful blow ''without'' any enhancements like the Green Ranger powers he had in the previous story.

* LegionOfDoom: The sequel involves Rita and Krang having joined forces, as they seized several of the Turtles' enemies to bolster their combined armies.

** Similarly, Scorpina appears in the second issue of the sequel when she was oddly nowhere to be seen in the first miniseries.

* TeamSwitzerland: The Rat King. Unlike the Turtles' other archenemies, he takes no part in the conflict, only informing Leo and Tommy that he was attacked by Ranger X (in an attempt to abduct him) and plays no further role than that. Likewise, Leo leaves his sewer kingdom out of respect.



** The sequel has a more balanced one between Krang and Rita, who bond over their equal desire to conquer Earth and [[LegionOfDoom assemble the Turtles' worst enemies]] to help accomplish this.
