12	----
13	!!Tropes:
14	* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: [[invoked]] At the top of Part 2, Paulo decides to allow the rest of the Turtles (along with April) to meditate in order to figure out where Raphael is and how much danger he’s in. Later, Leo uses the same power to locate Raph in in the sewers. Granted, Paulo is exploiting the fact that something similar happened in the first movie.
15	* AccidentalMisnaming: Raph wants to make it very clear that his name is ''not'' "Ralph".
16	* AccidentalMurder: In Part 4, Raphael goes into a meditative trance and enters the mind of the glasses-wearing man he encountered in the bank... and in the process of trying to "soften him up" by sending him sensations of fear, Raphael manages to make the guy grab a machine gun '''[[GoneHorriblyRight and commit suicide]]'''.
17	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Leonardo just happens to find the last generator room while looking for a place to meditate. Then he hacks the generator to pieces with his katana.
18	* ActingForTwo: [[invoked]] Defied: Even though Paulo had let Andy play Keno for the start of the campaign, when Keno is at April's apartment to deliver the pizzas, Paulo takes over.
19	* AdaptationAmalgamation: Both Jon and Andy admit to playing their characters as they see them ''in general'', not specifically as they were portrayed in this film. DM Paulo Quiros actually tried to [[InvokedTrope Invoke]] this somewhat by having the players all watch the ''first'' film, hoping that would result in a better sequel [[TakeThat than the one it really got.]]
20	* AdmiringTheAbomination: Åsmund Bøe calls Mikey a "a beautiful abomination" to his face. Mikey finds it rather insulting.
21	* AffablyEvil: Downplayed: Part 2 sees April cross paths with Fred, a fellow reporter from the station who openly admits to [[JarPotty shitting in the break room]] and acts very grossly towards April. But because of how Joz chose to play Fred, Andy points out Fred becomes too enjoyable to hate.
22	* AfterActionHealingDrama: Once the other turtles find Raphael in the sewers, the number one priority is getting him patched up before he bleeds out.
23	* AgeAppropriateAngst: When overwhelmed with the situation in the bank and Raphael being shot multiple times, Donatello screams "I HATE BEING SIXTEEN!"
24	* AGodAmI: Åsmund Bøe clearly has a god complex, something April chews him out on in a major TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
25	* AintTooProudToBeg: Variation: After Raphael, due to accumulated damage, Crit Fails a dexterity roll while trying to jump up towards a ledge, Kara (worried this means Paulo is going to announce she died) makes a point to complement Paulo on his [=DMing=] and being allowed to play Raphael, and stresses how they're friends.
26	* AirVentPassageway: Raphael considers breaking into a bank to stop a robbery using this method. However he ultimately decides to use the sewer instead, as air vents have no water in them.
27	* AmateurSleuth: Keno starts investigating April’s apartment on his own after his weird encounter with his customers.
28	* AmbiguousSituation:
29	** Kara (in and out of character) isn't sure if the building she winds up in towards the end of the first episode is a bank or a morgue, although signs point towards "bank".
30	** By the end of the campaign, it is never fully made clear if Åsmund Bøe was serious about nuking New York.
31	* AnachronismStew: Brought up when the players question whether or not low-light, portable cameras were a thing in 1991.
32	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After Raphael dies at the hands of the terrorists, Leonardo goes full [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope dark side]] and begins openly murdering the terrorists en masse on the grounds that "[t]hey killed Raph". It eventually gets to the point in Part 6 where ''Kara'' asks "Is this really ''about'' Raph anymore?"
33	* ArtifactTitle: The Rerollers point out that there really isn’t anything secret about the ooze in the film, and how this is believed to be an idea which got lost in rewrites.
34	* [[DamselOutOfDistress Badass Out of Distress]]: Leo and Mikey both manage to avoid being arrested by the SWAT team by - respectively - being rescued by April in her van and crawling up the side of the building.
35	* BadBadActing: Donatello and Raphael aren't ''exactly'' convincing when the latter claims he's about to shoot Keno through the door, [[SubvertedTrope but then Paulo reveals he was convinced enough to decide to go and call the cops]].
36	* BadLiar: After briefly getting spotted by Keno while shadowing him, Leonardo instead decides to cut his losses and double back to the apartment, lying to the others that he was successful in making sure Keno wouldn't compromise their location... only for Kara to Crit Succeed her "Detect Lies" roll for Raphael. Paulo decides this means Raphael could tell from Leonardo's eyes that he fucked up.
37	* BaitAndSwitch: When Jon rolls to escape from the SWAT officers, he reacts with disappointment, causing Kara to become distressed... which turns to anger when it turns out Jon actually ''succeeded'' his roll, and he wanted to succeed by a larger number.
38	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When April tries to acclimate herself with one of her guards, Paulo announces he Crit Succeeded a Will roll to resist her attempt. When Kara, annoyed, ponders what would've happened if he Crit ''Failed'', Paulo happily reminds her that the last NPC she encountered that Crit Failed a Will roll was [[PsychicAssistedSuicide the one that killed themself.]]
39	* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: The Rerollers wonder whether there’s ever been any installment — official or otherwise — where the Turtles actually become the renaissance artists they were named after.
40	* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Raph throws his sai to disarm Brandon [=DeJulio=], who is pointing a gun at him. While clearly non-lethal, it is mentioned that it still causes the cop to bleed.
41	* BlatantItemPlacement: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged.]] DM Paulo Quiros denies the requests to have Caitlyn keep walkie-talkie or a camera in her van, but he ''does'' allow her having a pair of crowbars in the glove compartment.
42	* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: April manages to disarm one of the terrorists by shooting his gun hand.
43	* BloodierAndGorier:
44	** Raphael investigating the bank, as his opponents are armed with machine guns. He winds up getting two killed[[note]]one by FriendlyFire, another more-or-less by accident as Kara ''wasn't'' trying to kill[[/note]], and takes enough damage himself to result in briefly blacking out. It stands out even more with the original film actually being LighterAndSofter than its predecessor.
45	*** This carries over into Part 2 as Raphael gets into a long fight scene with an armed thug that tries to kill him; not only does he get shot several more times, but once both are in the sewers, Raphael winds up beating him to death with a sai.
46	** Paulo ultimately admits that ''had'' Andy-as-Kenu caused the opening fight scene, and the Turtles used their weapons[[note]]in particular, Leonardo using his sword[[/note]], it would’ve been a bloodbath.
47	** Part 3 sees things get ramped up slightly as Leonardo [[OffWithHisHead decapitates one of the terrorists]] in revenge for Raphael almost dying; his kill count jumps to ''five'' by the time he gets back to April’s apartment in Part 4.
48	** What winds up taking the cake, however, is Raphael accidentally managing to [[PsychicAssistedSuicide make a guy]] ''[[DrivenToSuicide blow his brains out]]''.
49	--->'''Joz''': [[OhCrap (horrified)]] ''[[OhCrap You're a mind-murderer!]]''
50	** When Raphael successfully smashes in the face of a terrorist during his LastStand in Part 5, Paulo cracks that the movie had to have this ''edited down'' in order to keep an R rating.
51	** By the time the Marines show up to the air base by the end of Part 6, [[TheCavalryArrivesLate Paulo admitted that the majority of the terrorists were already dead by that point]] (thanks in part [[JumpingOffOfTheSlipperySlope to Leonardo]]).
52	* BigBrotherInstinct: [[ZigZaggedTrope While it's implied across the franchise that the turtles are all the same age,]] Raphael almost getting killed by the terrorists while at the bank causes Leonardo to go on the warpath while shadowing them at the end of Part 3 / beginning of Part 4. [[RageBreakingPoint It only gets worse when Raphael dies in Part 5.]]
53	* BittersweetEnding: New York is saved, but at the cost of Raphael’s life, and Leonardo getting possessed by a yokai due to murdering numerous terrorists. But, the turtles will always remain connected to their fallen brother via the Spirit Realm, and Paulo decides to add a post-credits scene [[ThrowTheDogABone showing everyone following through on their plan to go to Las Vegas.]]
54	* BrieferThanTheyThink: Kara points out that in the original comics, the iconic Shredder was a mere StarterVillain who died at the end of the first arc.[[note]] According to the writers, they wanted to wrap up the story [[ItWillNeverCatchOn because they weren’t expecting a continuation.]] It was only [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the later cartoon]] which turned him into a main villain.[[/note]]
55	* BrokenPedestal: Discussed: Leonardo decapitating a man and Raphael accidentally causing a PsychicAssistedSuicide causes Michelangelo to start having trouble recognizing who his brothers are anymore.
56	* TheBusCameBack: Variation: Casey Jones, who appeared in the first movie but ''not'' the second, gets brought into the campaign when Kara decides to have April call him for backup regarding the bank situation.
57	* CallBack:
58	** After Michelangelo's enthusiastic greeting to Splinter[[note]]"Hi, Splinter! [[VerbalBackspace Master Splinter!]]"[[/note]], Kara says [[Recap/FilmRerollETTheExtraTerrestrial "I'm four!"]]
59	--->'''Joz''': I mean, Michelangelo kinda is...
60	** Andy joking that April and the Turtles are taking "the regular entrance" to April's apartment causes Paulo and Kara to immediately fire back with [[Recap/FilmRerollLastActionHero "You just gonna use the regular door?"]]
61	** After Jon asks if Paulo’s Brandon [=DeJulio=] voice is meant to be Series/{{Columbo}}, Paulo [[OohMeAccentsSlipping (after unintentionally slipping into it)]] decides to [[Recap/FilmRerollHalloweenII lean into it]].
62	*** Similarly, after hearing Jon's Leonardo voice for three episodes, Paulo points out it's similar to the voice he used [[Recap/FilmRerollAliens for Burke]], much to Jon's dismay.
63	** When Donatello, before leaving Raphael, offers advice on traveling through a mental labyrinth[[note]]using his left hand to find the left wall[[/note]], Raphael remarks [[Recap/FilmRerollLabyrinth "And they're vowels, right? They're vowels."]]
64	** In a depressing manner, Kara glumly admits that [[TheHeroDies Raphael dying]] was more depressing than [[Recap/FilmRerollIronMan3 her accidentally shooting the President]].
65	* CaptainObvious: After Donatello and Michaelangelo collectively figure out where the terrorists are hiding in the sewers, Leonardo tells Raphael he has to stay behind. [[FailedAttemptAtDrama Raphael then bluntly reminds him that]] ''[[AlmostDeadGuy he has one hit point currently]]''.
66	-->'''Raphael''': I'm not happy about it, but it's not, like, a game day decision.
67	* CherryTapping: In effect: During Part 6, Paulo reveals he had been secretly keeping track of Leonardo's violent acts throughout the campaign, and as such starts asking him to [[VaguenessIsComing make increasingly harder Will rolls]] the more he kills the terrorists. However, the act that finally causes him to ''fail'' a roll was the instance of him ''trying'' to avoid it by chopping off a guy's hand.
68	* {{Cliffhanger}}:
69	** Part 1 ends with Raphael, having briefly blacked out from pain, waking up to see a spectacled man aiming a gun at his face, demanding to know who sent him.
70	--->'''Kara''': [[LampshadeHanging Oh, I assume that was our cliffhanger for the episode.]]
71	--->'''Paulo''': [[SureLetsGoWithThat ...I think it is!]]
72	*** Meanwhile, Jon decides to add one additional scene: While the rest of the Turtles, along with Splinter and April, are at her van getting ready to leave for Las Vegas, Leonardo is pacing in worry, wondering where Raphael is.
73	** Part 2 ends with Leonardo, who had climbed into a rooftop to get a better scope of what’s happening at the bank, ''falling'', and landing in the road... ''right in the middle'' of a group of SWAT officers who were about to enter the bank. And to make matters worse, he’s '''undisguised'''.
74	--->'''Kara''': [[LampshadeHanging Wow, both of our episodes so far have ended with one of us falling on our back.]]
75	** Part 3 ends with Leonardo ''[[BornUnlucky once again]]'' finding himself surrounded by armed men. This time, it's when he tries to shadow the group of terrorists while in a tunnel... and gets caught in the middle of the group.
76	--->'''Kara''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe Are you seriously telling me that we've had]] ''[[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe three episodes]]'' [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe of this fuckin' thing, and all three of them have ended with a turtle failing a roll and being spotted by a bad boy?!]]
77	--->'''Paulo''': ({{Beat}}) [[BrutalHonesty Yes. With a gun, every time.]]
78	** Part 4 winds up [[RunningGagged breaking the streak]] of "endings where the Turtles are caught by armed men": Michelangelo manages to dodge sniper fire long enough to sneak himself into an unknown conference room at the air base. [[ZigZaggedTrope Meanwhile,]] given how April is currently about to be brought into a meeting with "the Professor"[[note]]in this case, Åsmund Bøe[[/note]], Kara is ''convinced'' she's about to die.
79	* CliffhangerCopout:
80	** Downplayed in Part 3: Following the end of Part 2, Leonardo (and then Michelangelo, who suspected the worse) wind up in the center of a circle of SWAT officers, who proceed to try and arrest them... only for the two of them to then manage to escape, Leonardo by hitching a ride in April's van, Mikey by going to the rooftops. Although, as Paulo mentions, that was the end of the SWAT involvement in the plot, the Turtles become convinced that they are going to be pinned for what went down in the bank, and now find themselves needing to figure out what's going down.
81	** Similarly downplayed in Part 4: At the end of Part 3, Leonardo finds himself similarly surrounded at both ends of a tunnel by the armed terrorists. At the start of Part 4, [[LetsGetDangerous Jon proceeds to rules lawyer the fuck out of the encounter,]] not only managing to take down the men who were the closest to attacking him ''and'' get himself reasonably hidden, but he also managed to escape the encounter [[BornLucky without getting shot]] ''[[BornLucky once]]''.
82	* ContinuitySnarl: Part 3 sees Kara [[ActingForTwo have a brief conversation between April and Raphael]], which mildly freaks her out as, per her own words, she never talked to herself on the show before... even though she ''had'' back during [[Recap/FilmRerollLastActionHero "Last Action Hero"]] in both 2020 and 2022.
83	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Two key incidents in Part 1 wind up setting off [[ButterflyOfDoom a domino chain]] that paint the course for the rest of the campaign:
84	** When Keno arrives to April's apartment with the pizzas, the Turtles' less-than-ideal methods of acquiring the pizza and covering for the fact that April wasn't home yet (especially given how they briefly forgot to ''find money first'') causes Kenu to become paranoid enough that (following a second visit) he becomes convinced that he should call the police.
85	** When attempting to blow off steam before catching up with the others so they can go to Las Vegas, Raphael decides to do some solo crimefighting. After Paulo rolls off of a table he crafted for various crimes the Turtles would encounter, Raphael confronts a gang of thugs (lead by a guy calling himself "the Professor"), and stops a bodega robbery... but once that is over, and upon being told there's still time to burn, Kara asks Paulo to roll for another crime. ''[[OhCrap That]]'' [[OhCrap roll]] results in Raphael learning about a certain robbery going on at the bank...
86	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The climax of Part 4 sees Michelangelo managing to make his way across the air base in New Jersey and dodge ''several'' snipers before sneaking into the main building.
87	* CuttingTheKnot: When everyone tries to figure out how to heal Raphael's wounds as they escape in the van in Part 3, Donatello makes it clear that ''he'' can, but he just needs to ''not be in a moving van''.
88	* DemonicPossession: Leonardo’s MookHorrorShow leads to him getting possessed by some kind of Yokai. By the end of the campaign, they are still SharingABody.
89	* DestructionEqualsOffSwitch: April’s method of stopping the terrorist plot involves crashing every computer in their control room.
90	* DidntSeeThatComing: Downplayed: After Paulo reveals the proper spelling for "Åsmund Bøe", he makes it clear the characters were ''not'' expecting ''that'' to be the spelling[[note]]he then clarifies that it's Norwegian[[/note]].
91	* DirtyBomb: Over the course of Parts 3 and 4, the players start to suspect that this is the endgame of the terrorists’ plans.
92	* DirtyCommunists: It’s speculated that the mercenaries are terrorists from the then-collapsing Soviet Union.
93	* DistinctionWithoutADifference: When Leonardo and Donatello take on some of the terrorists in the control room, Leo manages to impale one with his katana, causing that terrorist to then crash sideways through a screen as he dies. When Jon then [[NotHelpingYourCase says]] he only wanted to do a ''little'' stab, Paulo [[SarcasmMode helpfully]] chimes in:
94	-->'''Paulo''': No, no, no. It wasn't the momentum, it was the ''dying'' that did it.
95	* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: One of the thugs Raphael beats down — nicknamed "the Professor" — has one. This was a ThrowItIn moment by Kara Strait which DM Paulo Quiros allowed.
96	* DistressedDude: After sustaining near-fatal injuries in the gun fight, Raph flees into the sewers and has to be rescued by his brothers.
97	* DownerBeginning: Roughly 35 minutes into Part 5, Raphael [[TheHeroDies meets his end]] when several of the terrorists decide to search the van, and he fights a losing battle.
98	* DownerEnding: Discussed: In Part 2, Kara finally reveals what happened in the unreleased ''Film/DieHard'' campaign. After ''multiple'' failed rolls, John [=McClane=] found himself kneeling in front of Hans Gruber, who promptly killed him.
99	* DoWrongRight: After April admits to her editor, Bill, that she made up a story for the cop, he responds "I don’t mind you lying, but I don’t like you lying and not getting results!" Bill, for his part, claims to have never lied to the cops... while on the job.
100	* DreamSpying: The Turtles catch a glimpse of the villain while meditating, which is how they learn his location.
101	* EcoTerrorist: The villains are environmental extremists threatening to launch a nuclear missile to New York if the requested sum isn’t paid. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when it turns out that the whole thing is a bluff. The missile can’t actually be launched.
102	* TheEndOrIsIt: By the end of the campaign, the remaining Turtles manage to thwart the terrorists’ plans... but Leonardo winds up losing himself to his anger. It is only upon the turtles and Splinter regrouping in the sewers and going into the Spirit Realm that they ([[NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay and Raphael]]) manage to bring Leonardo back around. But no sooner do they return to reality does Leonardo hear a voice in his head...[[note]]which Kara, with confirmation from Paulo, deduces is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yōkai yokai]].[[/note]]
103	-->'''???''': ''Alright...'' But you gotta sleep sometime, ''buddy''...
104	* EleventhHourRanger: The two marines who are entrusted to look after Mikey just as the campaign is wrapping up.
105	* TheEnemyWeaponsAreBetter: The surviving members of the Air Force personnel take weapons from the fallen terrorists, with April also taking a gun and some body armor. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that they were completely unarmed.
106	* EpicFail: While Joz failing a meditation roll initially was just a minor thing, it gets elevated to this when she (as Michelangelo) accidentally calls Master Splinter "Master ''[[OhCrap Shredder]]''".
107	-->'''Kara''': (bemused) That failed meditation roll took you to a bad place!
108	* ExactWords: After Jon states his plan of throwing Åsmund Bøe under the bus to the cops, the others call him out for saying that about ''the actual culprit of the crime''. Jon then clarifies that he wants to ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally]]'' throw him under a bus.
109	* FaceHeelTurn: Killing too many people has Leonardo give in to his dark side, which leads to him getting possessed and temporarily going from a player character to an [=NPC=].
110	* FacialHorror: Raph throws a sai in the face of one of the Black Raven guards, a scene which (in the InUniverse film) had to be cut down to preserve the R-rating.
111	* FailedASpotCheck: After informing the Turtles that she was told [[GossipEvolution her cat had died while she was at work]], it takes about a minute for April to remember she never owned a cat.
112	* FamilyOfChoice: Discussed: When Leonardo starts overly apologizing to April for potentially getting in trouble due to the actions of him and his brothers, April makes it clear that she is part of their family, and has no regrets over that connection.
113	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In Part 4, when confronting Leonardo over him killing some of the terrorists in cold-blood, Splinter warns him that unless he remember his teachings, Leonardo will be at risk of losing himself to his rage and anger. Come Part 6, and Paulo revealing [[OhCrap his secret mechanic regarding Leonardo’s bloodlust,]] it turns out [[NotHyperbole Splinter was being serious]].
114	* ForegoneConclusion: Discussed: When discussing how the ''Film/DieHard'' campaign ended, Kara brings up what Paulo had said before Hans Gruber killed John [=McClane=]:
115	-->'''Kara''': (as Paulo; apologetic) "I... I- I have to kill you now. I jus- There’s... I- I- there's nothing el- I jus- there’s- I can't ''not'' kill you."
116	-->'''Andy''': I can see Alan Rickman delivering that, too. That he’s, like, out of options.
117	* FishOutOfWater: Caitlyn Evans is taken quite aback upon meeting Splinter and the Turtles, fainting immediately and still being very nervous around them upon waking up.
118	* FriendlyFire: One of the robbers Raph fights at the bank ends up shooting his buddy dead by mistake.
119	* FriendOnTheForce: Officer Engelhardt, a policeman April is on good terms with, whom she questions for information about the terrorist attack.
120	* GoodCopBadCop: When Keno refuses to leave (due to being concerned that April was being held hostage in her apartment), Andy successfully rolls Diplomacy... while Kara successfully rolls ''Intimidation''. As a result, Donatello and Raphael (already pretending to be April's doctors) get into a "fight", with Raphael threatening to use his "gun" if Keno doesn't leave.
121	-->'''Donatello''': [[BadBadActing Oh, you took the safety off, and you're pointing it at the door, but the pizza guy is right on the other side!]]
122	-->'''Raphael''': The time for safety has passed!
123	-->'''Donatello''': Oh no, you're cocking it like that! Oh, and you're aiming it directly at his most sensitive portions through the door!
124	* GossipEvolution: Shortform: When Michaelangelo calls April's workplace to find out where she is, he claims that he's catsitting for her after the other catsitter got sick. The secretary taking the call doesn't put too much care into writing down the note, resulting in April showing up at the apartment, saying she was told her cat died [[FailedASpotCheck (which takes her a minute to remember she doesn’t own one)]].
125	* GoThroughMe: Mikey drives in front of April when the terrorists point their guns at her, holding onto a core for leverage... until they start shooting and he jumps ''out of the way'' of the bullets, leaving April unprotected. Fortunately the shooter still misses.
126	* GiveMeASign: When everyone is talking about the franchise at the start of Part 1, Kara recounts the time she and her family tried to watch ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII'' when she was a child, but kept having trouble finding a working [=VHS=] tape of it. But because they were too determined to watch it, they finally found a tape that worked... [[DownerEnding only to realize the movie sucked]], and that the universe was probably trying to warn them.
127	-->'''Kara''': The [=VCR=] was trying to help us!
128	* HandWave: After giving Bill a gruff, slurring voice, Paulo abruptly remembers that Bill is a character from the movie, and does ''not'' sound like that. He quickly decides it was a result of him drinking and smoking that night.
129	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: April and Caitlyn were apparently both this back in college. Caitlyn is by all accounts still keeping it up.
130	* HeadCrushing: Raph brutally kills the blonde, long-haired henchman in this manner.
131	* TheHeroDies: After four episodes of it being touch-and-go, Raphael meets his end in Part 5 when he and Splinter find themselves needing to fight the terrorists that decide to search April's van, and one successfully blind-fires.
132	* HeroOfAnotherStory: DM Paulo Quiros states that Caitlyn had her own offscreen adventures after getting separated from the others following Raphael's death, but that there wasn’t enough time in this campaign to tell them.
133	* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Turtles believe that they will be blame for the bank robbery, meaning that they will have to go on the run from the law.
134	* HiddenWeapons: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied.]] The guards at the Black Raven facility are all blatantly trying to hide AK-47s behind their backs.
135	* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Downplayed: Åsmund Bøe's interrogation of April gets interrupted by a phone call he takes, which he answers in a foreign language that Kara (wrongly) concludes is French:
136	-->'''Kara''': Okay, [April speaks] French.
137	-->'''Paulo''': [[DeadpanSnarker 'Kay. If you can give me a roll, I'll tell you that that was not French.]]
138	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: DM Paulo Quiros ''had'' intended the US Secretary of Defense to be just a random, NoPartyGiven NPC, but Andy Hoover pointing out that this position would have been filled by UsefulNotes/DickCheney at the time made an impression pretty much obligatory.
139	* ICallItVera: The van April borrows from her friend Caitlyn is called "The Stephen Russel", named after [[TakeThat a jackass ex-boyfriend from college]].
140	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Master Splinter warns Leonardo of this after he admits to killing one of the terrorists in cold blood.
141	* InternalReveal:
142	** The robber who captures Raph is ''quite'' shocked to see that he’s an antropomorphic turtle.
143	** April's decision to borrow a van from her "old buddy" Caitlyn Evans results in her being introduced to the Turtles and Splinter.
144	** Captain Michael Schwartz is very taken aback after realizing that he and his men have been rescued by anthropomorphic turtles, but soon realizes that he just has to roll with it.
145	* ItCanThink: Åsmund Bøe is surprised and fascinated to learn that the Turtles are not mere animals but thinking, intelligent beings.
146	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Leonardo does this to one of the mercenaries to learn more about Black Raven. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Kara Strait, who compares him directly to [[Series/TwentyFour the trope namer.]]
147	* JarPotty: [[invoked]] Implied: When April meets up with Fred (another reporter from the station) in Part 2, he brings up how April was supposedly taking a break from work. In response, April insults him by mentioning the “rumors” that he’s shitting in the break room.
148	-->'''Fred''': [[{{Squick}} Well, what’s wrong with that?]]
149	-->'''April''': ([[{{Beat}} silence;]] Paulo and Andy giggle) ...alright, Fred? We j- we simply don’t have time.
150	* JokeAndReceive:
151	** Two-fold: After Leonardo justifies leaving the apartment in order to shadow Keno, mentioning he was going to call the cops, Paulo points out that Keno didn't actually ''decide'' to do that; as such, Andy (barely audible over everyone else) jokes that "retroactively", he decided to call the cops. When Paulo brings this up later on, Andy decides to instead try and find his way back to the apartment in order to double check on things... and it's only ''after'' that visit that he decides to call the cops.
152	** At the top of Part 3, right as Paulo is about to start recaping the plot, Kara sarcastically mentions they're going to get into an extended discussion about what it means to be a hero (something they did for about 20 minutes during the soundcheck[[note]]Jon had called to attention that his character sheet for Leonardo lacked anything for "heroism", which caused everyone to talk about exactly ''how'' the Turtles are heroes[[/note]]). As such, [[TemptingFate when Paulo starts explaining]] ''[[TemptingFate that]]'', Kara [[JustJokingJustification quickly states she was just joking.]]
153	* KilledOffscreen:
154	** It takes until Part 4 for Paulo to admit that Casey Jones died in the bank explosion. [[AssholeVictim It only took that long because the other players never bothered to ask (since April told the Turtles not to care about him).]]
155	** Michael Schwartz and most of his men are massacred by three of the terrorists, who unlike them are armed. Leonardo brutally murders them in response.
156	* KnowWhenToFoldThem: Raph wisely decides to retreat after being beaten and shot to near death by the robbers.
157	* LanguageBarrier: The Turtles manage to listen in on the bad guys’ conversation, but they really don’t get much out of it since they are speaking another language (presumably Russian.)
158	* LastWords: Raphael's dying action in Part 5 is to use one last act of meditation to send out the words "I love you." to his brothers.
159	* LateToTheRealization: Variation: During the intro to Part 5, Andy admits that having listened to all of the previous parts (in particular either Part 3 or 4), [[ExplainExplainOhCrap it had finally dawned on him that everyone is at risk of dying at this point in the campaign.]]
160	* LiteralMetaphor:
161	** "You're supposed to ''talk'' shit in the break room, [[JarPotty I think you missed a crucial part.]]"
162	** When Kara succeeds a fast talk roll by 3 when talking to Fred, Joz (who’s playing him) jokes that April’s talking too fast.
163	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The Turtles have ''no'' bearing on what is going on at the bank: there’s several heavily armed men taking hostages, and at one point an explosion is set off.
164	* LongRunner: At six parts, this campaign is (currently) the second-longest Film Reroll campaign, behind [[Recap/FilmRerollMemento Memento]] and [[Recap/FilmRerollHalloweenIII Halloween 3's]] seven-part lengths.
165	* LoopholeAbuse:
166	** Discussed: After [[CallBack referencing]] how they discussed the franchise's connections to ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} at the start of the campaign, Kara-as-April asks Paulo if she knows an equivalent to the Night Nurse so that Raphael can get medical attention in Part 3. She fully acknowledges she was "swinging for the fences" with this, and as such isn't upset when Paulo shuts it down.
167	** During Part 5, Kara eventually discovers that, as she explains, Jon had tried to meta-game the campaign by ''texting her'', something Jon (not even ''pretending'' to deny) clarifes was in regards to something two hours prior.[[note]]Given when in the episode Kara calls this to attention, it can be presumed Jon's meta-gaming was in regards to Raphael getting caught in the van.[[/note]]
168	* ManipulativeBastard: Åsmund Bøe tells April that he’s lying about his intentions to his employees (who, as he puts it, “are not good men”) and that she shouldn’t take what he tells them as gospel. Regardless of whether or not ''this'' is in and of itself a lie, it qualifies him for the trope.
169	* MasterActor: April tells Detective Brandon [=DeJulio=] an elaborate lie, trying to make herself seem like an innocent spectator who was not at all involved with the goings on at the bank.
170	* MathematiciansAnswer:
171	** As Kara calls to attention, the birthday Paulo gave Raphael (and, presumably, the rest of the turtles) is "Whatever".
172	** When Leonardo is asked what "[his] deal" is[[note]]meaning [[CaptainObvious the fact he's a giant turtle]][[/note]] by one of the Air Force guys, he begins to awkwardly explain how Blackraven had been taken over by the terrorists.
173	--->'''Air Force Guy''': (cutting off Leonardo; awkwardly) Now, okay, I... yeah... That's not the part I was specifically asking about.
174	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: When justifying having Raphael go off to stop a second crime after the bodega robbery, Kara compares it to having eaten a very spicy chicken wing, but the pain of the wing making you want a second one. This causes Joz (who may or may not have been in-character) to start pleading "They have wings in Vegas! ''They have wings in Vegas!''"
175	-->'''Kara''': (in the Raphael voice) I'm a vegetarian now!
176	* MeleeDisarming: Donatello knocks a goon into some machinery after he points a gun at him and Leonardo.
177	* MoodWhiplash: As Kara [[LampshadeHanging mirthlessly points out]], after Raphael [[TheHeroDies gets gunned down in the van]], the immediate next scene involves Michaelangelo getting into a slapstick fight against a couple terrorists.
178	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Variation: When Åsmund Bøe tells April his men searched her van, Kara panics and insists they show that scene since [[RememberedTooLate Raphael and Splinter were still in the van]]. Paulo agrees to do so... but because the men who were sent to search the van were armed, all this accomplished was [[TheHeroDies Raphael's death]].[[note]]While it stands to reason [[InSpiteOfANail this would've still happened even if Paulo didn't cut to it]], the fact that Raphael was Kara's favorite turtle made his death all the worse.[[/note]]
179	* MyGodYouAreSerious: Åsmund Bøe's allies have this reaction when they hear that he is ''actually'' planning to launch the missile. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that he might still be bluffing.
180	* MythologyGag: While preparing her trip to Las Vegas, April changes into [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 a rather familiar yellow jumpsuit.]]
181	* NatureHero: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but Joz argues that the Turtles should be able to read the behavior of the sewer animals, due to being more in time with them. DM Paulo Quiros allows this.
182	* NeverMyFault:
183	** The top of Part 4 sees Jon bitching that Paulo had railroaded him into getting surrounded by the terrorists at the end of Part 3... even though both Kara and Paulo point out Jon had done that to himself by failing another shadowing roll.
184	** When Jon ''finally'' fails a Will roll and succumbs to Paulo’s secret mechanic relating to Leonardo’s bloodlust, he accuses him of wanting this end result to happen. This causes Paulo to [[SarcasmMode sarcastically agree]] that he ''made'' Jon kill everyone.
185	* NeverSayGoodbye: Leonardo and Donatello elect to not say “Goodbye”, which is what Raphael said to them before dying in battle. Instead, they go with ”Smell you later.”
186	* NiceCharacterMeanActor: [[invoked]] Part 3 sees Kara almost break into tears on more than one occasion over hearing how sympathetic and caring Jon was playing Leonardo.
187	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
188	** When Andy and Kara decide to play GoodCopBadCop to try and get Keno to leave the apartment, Paulo had failed his will roll for Keno, meaning he would've just left and not called the cops. But the second Raphael claimed he was going to ''shoot him'', Paulo reveals that Keno quickly changed his mind.
189	** When Keno decides to leave, Leonardo decides to shadow him from the rooftops... only to get caught (albeit partially hidden in the shadows) by Keno when, by pure chance, he looks up and sees him.
190	** When Keno comes back and talks with April over the intercom, Michaelangelo decides to coach her through the conversation, telling her to explain away the random creatures he's been seeing as being the result of her apartment having a severe infestation problem. But because April (confused by what's been going on) fails to properly relay that explanation, Keno ultimately concludes that this is when he needs to call the cops, and does so.
191	* NoodleIncident: Donatello mentions that he tried arguing for a move to Ohio in the past.
192	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: April’s attempts at seducing Brandon [=DeJulio=] end up not working, to her great embarrassment.
193	* NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse: Towards the end of the campaign, everyone stops trying to pretend that Leonardo ''hasn't'' become a mass-murderer:
194	-->'''Paulo''': Alright, Leonardo, how much death are you dealing this turn?
195	* NotHelpingYourCase: When the main Air Force guy from the group Leonardo frees asks if he murdered the terrorists holding them captive, Leonardo tries to explain it away by saying he was “a mean guy”, a tactic that Kara openly says is making the situation so much worse for Leonardo.
196	-->'''Leonardo''': I did-I ''did'' decapitate that guy.
197	-->'''Air Force Guy''': [[DissonantSerenity Okay, cool. Cool, cool, cool...]] Uh, what's... what's going on? W-what's your deal?
198	-->'''Leonardo''': Well... uh, bunch of... uh... really mean... meanie... mean guys... (Kara cackles) I think, took over the base-
199	-->'''Kara''': ''Jon, you are making it so much worse.''
200	** And when Leonardo ''[[InsistentTerminology insists]]'' on referring to the terrorists as "mean guys", Kara points out how this makes Leonardo sound ''psychotic'':
201	--->'''Kara''': Stop, stop saying- if someone decapitated a man in front of me, I'd be upset. But if that man- if the person who decapitated someone then turned to me and said (parodying Leonardo's tone) "''He was a bad boy... He was a meanie...''"
202	--->'''Jon''': (talking over Kara) That's not- that's not what I said.
203	--->'''Kara''': (talking over Jon) I would ''lose my fucking mind forever''. "What the fuck happened?!" (as Leonardo) "''He did a boo-boo.''"
204	* NotHyperbole: After Jon finally fails Paulo's secret Will mechanic in Part 6, Kara matter of factly tells Jon to hand over his character sheet. A couple scenes later, we see Donatello catch back up with Leonardo... only for Paulo to cut Jon off from trying to play him, [[DemotedToExtra revealing Leonardo's now an NPC]]. Kara casually admits she suspected Paulo was going to do this, hence that earlier comment of hers.
205	* OneManArmy: Leonardo kills a ''lot'' of {{Mooks}} throughout the campaign. Not strictly a good thing, as this is a setting where the supernatural is real and such actions can have spiritual consequences.
206	* OneSteveLimit: Defied: There's two different characters named "The Professor" in this campaign. One is the leader of a leather-clad gang that was harassing a shopkeeper, and the other [[GreaterScopeVillain is revealed to be Åsmund Bøe.]]
207	* OffTheRails: The very first roll of the campaign involves Andy, briefly being given the role of Keno, being asked to roll for perception, only to fail by one; not only does he fail to notice the robbers he noticed in the film[[note]]thus negating the opening action piece[[/note]], but he is able to arrive at April's apartment to deliver the pizzas while the Turtles are there. As a result of their less-than-ideal acquiring of the pizza, Keno gets spooked enough that[[note]]after a second stop to double check on things[[/note]] he decides to call the cops to check in on April, forcing the turtles to decide to leave the city for a while.
208	* OffWithHisHead: Leonardo decapitates a {{Mook}} with his katana as revenge for his buddies shooting Raph, and then another one while rescuing the hostages.
209	* OhCrap:
210	** Thanks to a Crit Failed roll on Jon’s part when Leonardo and Michelangelo are jumping across rooftops to scope out the bank, Leonardo falls and lands in the middle of a group of SWAT members to close out Part 2.
211	--->'''Leonardo''': [[DissonantSerenity Hey, guys. Uh... nice night, huh?]]
212	** This is basically everyone's reaction once Paulo narrates how Raphael accidentally [[PsychicAssistedSuicide "mind-murdered"]] the man in the glasses during Part 4.
213	* OnceAnEpisode: As pointed out by Kara Strait in the third part, every episode of the campaign seems to end with a turtle failing a roll and being spotted by an armed criminal.
214	* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: When Raphael decides to blow off some steam by doing some solo vigilantism, Paulo introduces the players to the mechanic he developed for such a thing... prompting Joz to ''point blank'' demand that Paulo reveal if [[Recap/FilmRerollFridayThe13thTheFinalChapter he's doing another "Summerspell"]].
215	-->'''Joz''': Any time you pull out tables, with certain, like...
216	-->'''Kara''': ''What?!''
217	-->'''Paulo''': ''Summerspell'' didn't have any tables-
218	-->'''Joz''': [[InstantlyProvenWrong Romance mechanics...]]
219	-->'''Paulo''': Oh, I guess it had the romance mechanic...
220	-->'''Joz''': Yeah, it did, and-and it fucked us all over, so I just wanna make sure: ''we're still doing [=TMNT=], right?''
221	-->'''Kara''': Paulo... any time a DM has a mechanic, ''I get suspicious''.
222	* OneLastJob: As the gang speeds to an air base in New Jersey to stop the terrorists before they can "fire" whatever it is they’re working on, Leonardo does some quiet contemplation over the events of the campaign thus far, and decides that once this adventure is over, he and his family are ''going'' to Vegas.
223	* OutOfFocus:
224	** When the other Turtles and April decide they need to head to Las Vegas for the time being, Raphael decides to spend the time waiting for everyone else to get the van by blowing off steam and doing some solo vigilante work. This takes up the second half of the first episode, with the campaign effectively concerning just Paulo and Kara doing this plot.
225	** Downplayed: Although he still has a presence in the plot, after managing to barely survive the terrorists in the bank, Raphael is more or less sidelined as he tries to recover... [[TheHeroDies before the events of Part 5 occur.]]
226	* PaperThinDisguise: As is tradition in canon, Raphael (and later Donatello)’s disguise simply consists of a trenchcoat and a hat.
227	* ParanoiaFuel: [[invoked]] Leonardo was already on edge when Raphael hadn’t shown up at the garage with the others, which is made worse when he learns about the situation at the bank, but when he finds him severely shot up and bloodied in the sewers, he is taken aback.
228	* PoliceAreUseless: Miranda — the 911 phone operator who answers April’s call — asks if she wants to call in an airstrike on the Black Raven facility, all to take out some guys with guns at a building containing heavy amounts of radioactive material. April asks if Miranda’s middle name [[CallBack happens to be Jeff.]]
229	* PointOfDivergence: Because Kenu never got distracted by the goons with the van, he is able to deliver the Turtles’ pizzas in time... catching them flatfooted, as [[DidntThinkThisThrough they forgot to make sure they could]] ''[[SomethingWeForgot pay for them.]]'' And thanks to the absolute gong show in not only paying Kenu, but also trying to get him to leave without seeing them, [[ButterflyOfDoom he becomes convinced there’s weird ass shit going on at April’s apartment, and decides to call the cops]].
230	* PottyEmergency: When forced to explain why Keno was able to "hear" April (in reality Michelangelo imitating her) but not ''see'' her, on top of the presence of several unknown figures in the apartment, Michelangelo-as-April claims she is having bathroom-related problems, with Donatello and Raphael claiming they're her "butt doctors". Needless to say, this ''doesn't'' exactly put to rest Keno's fears that she's being held hostage.
231	* PromotedToPlayable:
232	** Kara decides to take over April O’Neil starting in Part 2.
233	** Inverted: after Jon finally fails a Will roll in regards to his bloodlust in Part 6, Paulo takes over playing Leonardo. [[DownplayedTrope This only really applies to one scene,]] as the rest of his family manage to bring him back around in the Spirit Realm.
234	* PsychicAssistedSuicide: Impressively, Raphael manages to not only ''[[ExactWords technically]]'' do this in Part 4, but also he does it ''[[GoneHorriblyRight accidentally]]'': While in his meditative trance, he manages to reach the mind of the glasses-wearing man and, rather than give him anything that would identify himself, send over feelings of fear and failure to try and counteract whatever he's planning with the rest of the terrorists. All this accomplishes is convince him the Turtles are using telekinetic attacks on them, and prompt him to not only accelerate his plans[[note]]his last words are telling one of his men that they need to "fire" ''now''[[/note]], but also [[DrivenToSuicide blow his brains out with a machine gun]].
235	* RageBreakingPoint:
236	** While April returns to the bank to investigate it, Crit Failing a criminology roll[[note]]which Paulo decides, with indirect prompting from Jon, means April accidentally left fingerprints[[/note]] and then ''immediately'' failing Perception by one in trying to find the basement causes Kara to punch the shit out of her table.
237	--->'''Jon''': [[SarcasmMode That sounds like a good roll.]]
238	** Feeling Raphael die in Part 5 causes Leonardo to decide to kill ''every last terrorist'' at the air base, which he decides to double down on after Crit Failing a roll to control his "Cold Blooded" skill... [[MoodWhiplash which Paulo stated was (originally) meant to be literal]].
239	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: TheDragon, the man with the pince-nez glasses, both leads a group of mercenaries and personally opens fire at Mikey and Leo with an AK-47.
240	* ARareSentence: Part 4 sees Raphael saying the words "I am but a vessel for God's light."
241	* RememberedTooLate: When Åsmund Bøe announces his men had searched April's van, Kara halts the scene to remind Paulo that Raphael and Splinter are ''still in the van'', and as such should be allowed to do that scene first.
242	* RiddleForTheAges:
243	** In-Universe: Mainly for ease of convience, Leonardo opts to ''not'' explain to the Air Force guys why he's a giant talking turtle:
244	--->'''Air Force Guy''': (unnerved) So, why- are- okay... You're a turtle? You're a giant talking turtle.
245	--->'''Leonardo''': ...yes.
246	--->'''Air Force Guy''': (unnerved) Okay... Um... ''why?''
247	--->'''Leonardo''': Can we do backstory later, and... imminent crisis ''now''? That'd be okay?
248	--->'''Air Force Guy''': Um... I ''guess''...
249	** Due to the Turtles managing to circumvent the nukes, and Leonardo murdering most of the terrorists, it remains unclear if Åsmund Bøe ''was'' bluffing about nuking New York or not.
250	* RocksFallEveryoneDies: '''Barely''' avoided: When April and Michelangelo try to take out an armed terrorist in Part 6, Mikey decides (since he's holding a radioactive core that, if open, would kill ''everyone'' at the base) to kick the terrorist. Joz missed the first attempt... and '''Crit Failed the second''', resulting in Mikey ''[[OhCrap falling down face first]]''. And just as Paulo announces the core had ''cracked'', Joz quickly remembers she has Luck and rolls again, this time landing a successful kick[[note]]it's worth noting that while her first roll was a success, she did a second roll anyway to see if she could get a better number... and rolled ''[[BeyondTheImpossible a second Crit Fail]]''[[/note]]. Paulo decides to interpret the initial Crit Fail as Mikey getting a vision of an alternate reality.
251	* TheScrappy: [[invoked]] Discussed: When it seems like Keno's going to leave the plot entirely early on, the players (Paulo in particular) make a point of saying he sucks.
252	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Turtles were already starting to plan leaving April's apartment at the start of the campaign, due to feeling they're overstaying their welcome. But due to Keno deciding to call the cops on them, it's decided that they should leave the city for the time being, latching onto Michelangelo's plan of Las Vegas.
253	* SecurityBlanket: Upon seeing how [[HeroicBSOD traumatized]] Caitlyn was due to meeting the Turtles, Raphael digs up a packet of M&Ms for her to eat to try and calm her nerves. Rather than eat it, though, she clings to it "like a blankie".
254	* SequelFirst: [[invoked]] Unlike [[Recap/FilmRerollBackToTheFuturePartII the]] [[Recap/FilmRerollFridayThe13thTheFinalChapter other]] times they did a reroll for a film's sequel[[note]]to coincide with Future Day, and Paulo was pretending it was a different film, separately[[/note]], here it's openly acknowledged they are not doing the original film first, with Paulo explaining it was a sponsored campaign.
255	* ShaggyDogStory: Kara Strait is very disappointed that — thanks to a ''long'' series of very unlucky rolls on her part — her investigations bring up little to no new information.
256	* ShoutOut: Towards the end of Part 5, when Åsmund Bøe is telling her she needs to be put into captivity for the time being (as to not get into any shenanigans as the eco-terrorists' plan approaches the endgame), April (due to a successful "Professional Skill: Reporter" roll) says she understands. [[VideoGame/DeadRising "[She's] covered wars, let's say."]]
257	* SkewedPriorities: When expressing his concerns about potentially leaving the city, Leonardo accidentally places pizza ''above'' April on the list of things they'd abandon. Michelangelo winds up being fixated on pizza as he continues talking to Splinter.
258	* SoftGlass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] Mikey manages to punch through a bulletproof window, though it ''does'' take him two punches and it’s mentioned that this hurts him.
259	* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Following the death of the man with the pince-nez glasses — ultimately just a hired gun with NominalImportance — the campaign properly introduces Professor Åsmund Bøe, an international eco-terrorist.
260	* SpiritualSuccessor: [[invoked]]
261	** While Raphael is fighting the armed thugs at the city's bank, Kara comes to the realization that she and Paulo are in effect redoing the failed ''Film/DieHard'' campaign that was alluded to in the past.
262	--->'''Paulo''': [[SarcasmMode If only I had made you a ninja turtle.]]
263	** Across both Part 5 and 6, Andy and Jon start calling attention to the parallels they have noticed[[note]]the fact they are fighting terrorists to prevent a nuclear disaster, and how a bunch of their allies accidentally got killed in an avoidable ambush[[/note]] between this campaign and [[Recap/FilmRerollTheRock the prior campaign on "The Rock"]], with Jon worried they might fuck up ''again'' and get another state nuked.
264	* SpotlightStealingSquad: Considered: Towards the end of the second episode, when April leaves Fred, Paulo asks if he can be allowed to follow Fred instead of the turtles.
265	* TheStinger: Within the campaign proper: After Paulo declares the end of the “movie”, he decides to pay off the running Vegas plot thread by announcing that the post-credits scene is everyone driving off to Las Vegas.
266	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: When Donatello starts expressing distress over not being able to go back to their old home, Raphael tries to comfort him by stating they have their homes on their backs (meaning their shells). Shortly afterward, when Leonardo expresses unease with Splinter suggesting they leave the city, Splinter repeats this mindset... [[SubvertedTrope before admitting he heard Raphael say it, due to how thin the apartment's walls are.]]
267	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
268	** When the Turtles try to get the pizzas from Keno without him knowing April isn't home, the issue quickly arises that they don't have ''money''. As such, Donatello just takes the pizzas and shuts the door, telling him that he'll get the money later. As such, Keno not only begins banging on the door, but he also threatens to call the cops; after all, ''he needs to be paid''.[[note]]Luckily, Joz successfully makes a Scrounging roll for Michelangelo, and quickly gets the money.[[/note]]
269	** Across both of his visits to April's apartment, Keno not only has two separate, borderline unnatural conversations with April[[note]]granted, he was actually talking to Michelangelo the first time, who was imitating her[[/note]], but also caught sight of some unexplainable creatures. At first, Andy is comfortable having Keno just leave the situation alone, but (via some prompting from Paulo) ultimately realizes that things are too weird to ignore, resulting in him making an anonymous tip to the cops.
270	** Downplayed: When the idea of skipping town to head to Las Vegas becomes more and more agreed upon, Michelangelo asks April to come with. Given how she still has her job, she doesn't seem sure of sticking around long term, mentioning she could use some vacation time for the meanwhile.
271	* SwordOfDamocles: The missile, and, on a smaller scale, the equally nuclear canisters Mikey threatens the villains with.
272	* TakenOffTheCase: April's boss Bill threatens to do this to her if she runs afoul with the cops again... even though ''neither of them are cops''.
273	* TakeThat:
274	** Kara openly admits she hates Leonardo, repeatedly calling him "[[CopHater a cop]]".
275	** When Michelangelo keeps pushing for the group to go to Las Vegas, Paulo states that he's willing to change the plot of the movie to allow that, since the original version of it sucked.
276	** Downplayed: [[ItMakesSenseInContext When everyone is discussing]] [[TimeyWimeyBall the time nature of]] ''Film/{{Tenet}}'' at the end of Part 2, Paulo states that he wasn’t confused by the movie, but rather was bored.
277	** When the possibility of April being mutated into a turtle is brought up, Kara ''demands'' that if that happens, April is given ''any other name'' than "[[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation Venus de Milo]]".
278	* TapOnTheHead: Mikey takes out the guards by bashing their heads together. As far as the rules are concerned, this counts as using an ImprovisedWeapon.
279	* TemptingFate:
280	** After Keno drops off the pizza, and is greatly unnerved by his near-encounter with the Turtles, Andy contemplates calling the cops, but decides to instead go back to his job delivering pizzas, causing Paulo to comment that Keno is out of the movie. Later on, however, it's decided that he should go ''back'' to check in, and after ''another'' encounter with the Turtles and hearing April's less-than-convincing explanation for what's been going on at her apartment, Andy ultimately decides that Keno should make an anonymous tip to the cops.
281	** The ''exact'' moment that Jon complains about how well Raphael is doing against the armed thugs just by headbutting them repeatedly, that is when Kara starts to accumulate some bad rolls, ultimately resulting in Raphael blacking out.
282	* TheseHandsHaveKilled:
283	** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that Ralph himself doesn’t realize it, but the Rerollers do note that he did break his no-killing rule by offing one of the bank robbers.
284	** PlayedStraight when Leonardo decapitates one of the terrorists, then completely abandons said rule and kills three more even ''after'' rendering them unconscious, all as revenge for them severely injuring Raph.
285	* TheyWouldCutYouUp: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] to be the reason for why Mikey refuses to come along with the marines.
286	* TitleDrop:
287	** [[invoked]] Discussed: When introing the campaign in the first episode, Paulo brings up the fact that in the original movie, the so-called "secret of the ooze" is that [[AntiClimax there is no actual secret, it's just chemicals]], while Jon [[WhatCouldHaveBeen mentions]] how the original plan was for it to be revealed it was alien in origin.
288	** Repurposed in Part 5: When Åsmund Bøe is explaining to April that the goal of his group is to fight back against the various industries of America creating toxic waste, he outright asks if she knows what the "secret of the ooze" is. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Namely, that it's negatively impacting the "poor and disadvantaged".]]
289	--->'''Jon''': [[LampshadeHanging Is that a secret?]]
290	* TooKinkyToTorture: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but Casey Jones actually likes it when April punches him.
291	* TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup: The Turtles wind up making a complete clusterfuck of getting the pizzas from Keno because, as Kara puts it, there's "four Turtles, four plans": Raphael decides to put on his trenchcoat and fedora to open the door, Michaelangelo decides to imitate April's voice, Donatello decides to write a note telling Keno to just leave the pizzas at the door, and Leonardo decides to climb out of the apartment, go around the building, and sneak the pizzas away from Keno.
292	* ToServeMan: [[DefiedTrope Defied.]] The other turtles apparently have to constantly remind Donatello that no, they should ''not'' start eating people.
293	* TranquilFury: When Kara-as-April states her intention to do some research into the bank back at the news station, Paulo tells her to roll for it. One roll later, Kara calmly states her next intention is to throw herself into a deep chasm, never to be seen again, and become an {{Unperson}}.[[note]]Translation: Kara failed yet one more roll during her attempted investigation of the bank.[[/note]]
294	* TraumaButton: Discussed: After Raphael accidentally [[PsychicAssistedSuicide "mind-murdered"]] the glasses-wearing man in Part 4, Kara uneasily asks Paulo if being in the mind of a guy as he ''kills himself'' would affect Raphael at all. Paulo decides this requires a Fright Check at -3... [[OhCrap which Kara Crit Fails.]] The end result is that not only is Raphael is briefly stunned, but seeing anyone die from then on requires a Fright Check.
295	* {{Tuckerization}}: Caitlyn Evens is named after a Patreon supporter, as is her ''van'', Steven Russel, which is also an InUniverse example.
296	** A meta example: In the mailbag segment, the Rerollers read out a message from a fan who named all of her Pokémon after them as a tribute.
297	* UnconventionalLearningExperience: [[invoked]] When April is faced with the main computer system the terrorists were using for the base[[note]]presumably including the missile[[/note]], Kara is asked to roll Computer Operation (at a minus 2), a skill April doesn't have... [[BornLucky and gets a Crit Success]]. As such, Paulo narrates that April, unsure of how to use a computer terminal, instead remembers a story she covered years prior about someone wrecking a computer system by accidentally entering a delete command. The second April enters said command, the computer systems go down.
298	* UnreliableExpositor: Kara Strait worries out of character that the guy Leonardo interrogated may have been this, and is upset with Jon Miller for not rolling detect lies on him. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when it turns out that the guy was telling the truth anyway.
299	* VillainHasAPoint: InUniverse, April agrees with the BigBad that corporate enviromental destruction is abominable, and actually offers to ''help'' him combat it if done in a way which ''doesn’t'' get innocent people killed.
300	* WeHaveReserves: During Raphael’s time in the bank in Part 1, Kara becomes convinced she’s gonna get killed... which she then shrugs off, stating her intention of claiming April O’Neil should that happen. As such, right at the top of Part 2, when the idea that Raphael might have died between episodes is raised, Kara immediately takes over April.[[note]]Granted, he turned out to still be alive.[[/note]]
301	* WeNeedADistraction: April shows up at the school where the Professor is situated with the pretense of wanting an interview, taking some attention off the Turtles as they begin their infiltration.
302	* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: The last we hear of Casey Jones after he shows up in Part 2 is that he decides to sneak into the bank. Part 4 sees Paulo nonchalantly admit [[KilledOffscreen he died in the explosion]].
303	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Kara manages to get some severe mileage out of just headbutting her opponents as Raphael.
304	* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: When the gang arrives at Blackraven, a plan is hatched to have April act as the distraction (pretending to be there to interview whoever’s in charge) so the rest of the Turtles can sneak in. Leonardo and Donatello wind up having an extensive discussion about having April put herself in such danger... even though, as April herself says, “[she’s] said ‘Yes’ like six times”.
305	-->'''Andy''': (bemused) Right now, it’s just, yeah, Leonardo and Donatello rationalizing it to themselves.
306	* WorkingWithTheEx: April brings Casey Jones along on the rescue mission, feeling that he may be useful even if she recently broke up with him on bad terms.
307	* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The back half of the campaign causes Kara to develop a hatred over the repeated usage of the phrase "sneaky peak".
