Dramatic Irony isn't necessarily the same as Irony. It's classified more as irony borne from when a character doesn't know something the audience is aware of


* DramaticIrony: Think about how Karai was supposed to grow up in the Hamato Clan and Shredder taking her away while raising her in the Foot Clan since infancy. [[spoiler: It turns out that Splinter's own father did the same thing to Shredder when he was a baby, albeit out of pity for an orphaned child.]] And in fact, [[spoiler: upon learning of his true lineage, Oruku Saki betrayed them and rebuilt the Foot Clan... with Karai doing the same when she discovers Splinter is her real father.]]
** Another example is when Shredder claimed he had no intention of mutating Karai, however, due to his lust for revenge, that's what happens anyway.
** Moreover, Shredder has spent the past 15 years pumping Karai with hatred for the "man who killed her mother". When it's revealed that he (and not Splinter) was responsible for Tang Shen's death, this plays out very badly, and Karai becomes fixated on taking revenge against Shredder.

Regardless, Karai goes back to kill Shredder, despite that her real father just finished telling her he's happy to leave well enough alone.

Karai tries to make Shredder pay when she finds out the truth about her mother. Even though her new family tries dissuading her from seeking vengeance (or at least immediate retribution immediately after she is freed), she decides to sneak off to end the Shredder herself. Keep in mind that the Turtles together could not beat him and Karai has lived long enough with him to know just how skilled the Shredder is, so one has to ask what she was thinking.
