* BothSidesHaveAPoint: April, who has a life and a job in 1993, New York, understandably wants to go back to the future. Michelangelo and Raphael, who live in the sewers and have to hide from the world, want to stay in Feudal Japan, where people actually acknowledge and appreciate them for their heroics. Raph, actually [[BigBrotherInstinct befriends a boy named Yoshi]] after complaining how people in New York neither knows nor appreciates them. Even Leo is a little reluctant to return to New York, because of how the people in Feudal Japan treat them like real heroes. Only the tech geek Don, who can not survive without technology, agrees with April, at least until Leo realizes they are being selfish and decides they must go back to their own time.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: This is done with a justification: the established rules of time-travel in the movie state that in order to go into the past, the turtles would have to swap places — and uniforms — with whoever is holding the scepter in Feudal Japan. It just so happened that the ones in the past were the Daimyo's honor guard. Luckily, the ceremonial samurai masks allow the Turtles to disguise their faces as well. Originally they thought they were gonna be switched with four priests at the palace.
* EquivalentExchange: The magic [[TimeTravel time traveling]] scepter supposedly requires an equal number of people, of roughly the same weight, to travel in each direction. In practice the muscle-bound, shell-heavy Turtles and the four honor guards are certainly not close in weight (although, one of them is quite burly but the others seem slimmer), and April can't possibly come close to Kenshin.
