* AchievementsInIgnorance: In ''Frozen Turtle Fever'', [[spoiler:Elsa unwittingly prevents a Kraang invasion of Arendelle when she blows the horn and sends a massive snowball through a portal the Kraang had just opened, striking their main computer and triggering the self-destruct before the Kraaang can mount their invasion]].
* ActionDuo: Elsa and Leonardo are consistently paired together initially, but with an interesting dynamic. Elsa is the "ordinary guy" part of the two, in that despite having powers she's clearly not aware of how to utilize them for combat. In contrast, Leonardo is a swordsman but has more combat prowess than the ice queen. This dynamic is subverted once Elsa learns how to utilize her powers for proper combat in no part due to the guidance of the Turtles and Master Splinter.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Elsa's magic isn't 'merely' ice-based, it's [[spoiler: quintessence magic manifestating itself in the form of ice and snow]], explaining why she would be able to hold such a huge influence over the lifeforce of other beings by f.e. creating them in the first place or affecting their very existential being.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: [[spoiler: An assassin utilizes snake venom in an attempt to kill Elsa, and when the Turtles foil the attempt, the snake venom is deduced to hail from the blue krait. The blue krait hails from Southeast Asia, contradicting with the supposed setting of ''Frozen'' (Norway). There could be some ground to this in that the killer is a mercenary who would've travelled the world for effective killing options, though it would somewhat confusing given that Scandivian colonialism was a thing although there have been no records of claims in the Southeast Asian region.]]

* CombatPragmatist: By the time of ''Into the Unknown'', Elsa has developed enough combat experience to be considered this, such as catching Shinigami off-guard by freezing the ground around her before the witch can hypnotise her so that she'll slip during a subsequent attack.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In ''Into the Unknown'', Olaf assumes that the Northuldan people and Arendelle soldiers they encounter are shocked that he isn't wearing clothes rather than realising that they're shocked that he exists in the first place. Later, when Rahzar threatens to eat his and Mikey's bones, Olaf simply points out that he doesn't have bones rather than respond to the original threat.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Hans kickstarts two antagonist-specific trends that would later become a staple of many [=Iron117Prime=] fanfics to come: one would be the hard-to-beat villain in that series' canon who is on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle by newly arrived heroes [[note]]which is slightly odd since later fanfics utilize a female character instead[[/note]] and the other is the lesser villain who dies to an EvilerThanThou one at the story's midpoint.]]

** The Foot Clan's ranks clearly mark this out. At the low ranks are the ones who clearly look and act more monstrously than the rest of the group, such as Rahzar and Fishface. Though Stockman-fly isn't exactly combat-capable, he makes up for this with good intellect. Then there's Tiger Claw, and while he is still a mutant, he's far from the most monstrous of them and is the Shredder's direct second-in-command. The very top has Shredder in all his glory; a human being and TheDreaded amongst the Turtles and Arendelle's royals.
