7	* ArtShift: From this episode onwards, the characters are redesigned to be more angular and the Turtles are given different heights for the rest of the series, Raph being the tallest, Mike being the shortest. While Leo appears to be a bit taller than Don in this episode, in most of the other episodes, Don is portrayed as taller than Leo. The crack on Leo's shell in the previous two seasons is also gone.
8	* BookEnds: The episode opens with Raph and Mikey fighting over the TV remote. It ends with them fighting over the TV remote in 2105.
9	* CantTakeAnythingWithYou: The Turtles and Splinter are all transported to the future minus their clothes and weapons.
10	* ContinuityNod: Cody's room contains many items from the previous seasons, including a Foot banner, The Utrom Shredder's armor, Casey's hockey mask and golf bag, [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S3E6WorldsCollidePart3 The Fugitoid's original body]], A TCRI canister, an Utrom exosuit, the [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S2E13ReturnToTheUnderground Turtle Tunneler]], Raph's [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S1E4MeetCaseyJones Shell Cycle]], the 2nd Time Around sign from April's shop, a damaged [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S4E15ScionOfTheShredder Shrednaut mech]], the [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S2E17Junklantis Shell Sub]], the Turtles' masks and the [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S5E7MembershipDrive Sewer Sled.]]
11	* DidntSeeThatComing: Cody's Time Window was meant to simply view the past, but it accidentally brought the Turtles and Splinter to the future, and he has no idea how to fix it.
12	* DisasterDominoes: Accompanies the Turtles' arrival in 2105. They set off a series of traffic accidents, culminating in a truck going off the road (or rather, over the edge of it) and derailing a train.
13	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The Turtles and Master Splinter.
14	* TheFuture: 2105, to be precise.
15	* {{Intangibility}}: The Street Phantoms' signature move.
16	* LateToTheRealization: It takes Cody a while to realize that Mikey isn't there with the others.
17	* LonelyRichKid: Cody is the owner of O'Neil Tech and heir to a vast fortune, which makes him a tempting target for criminals. All of his needs are provided for him, while he stays inside.
18	* MythologyGag: When Mikey falls out of a moving truck and lands on the windscreen of another vehicle, the driver of the vehicle [[{{expy}} looks like]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Bebop]].
19	* NakedOnArrival: The time warp leaves everyone's clothes and equipment back in the past, leaving the gang naked for quite some time until Cody offers to provide them with new outfits.
20	* NotSoAboveItAll: Splinter chastises the Turtles fighting over the remote and restrains them for it before saying his soaps are on in five minutes.
21	* OldHeroNewPals
22	* ShoutOut:
23	** Serling's greeting of "[[{{Franchise/Terminator}} Come with me if you want to live]]."
24	** He also says "[[Creator/MrT I pity the fool]] who tries to get around without an enviro-pack, graviton regulator or wrist translator."
25	** Serling's name is likely a shout out to Creator/RodSerling, whose [[Franchise/TheTwilightZone most famous show]] frequently dealt with aliens, robots, and time travel.
26	** When Raph leaps from a vehicle and Mikey doesn't catch him, Mikey says "[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Ru-roh!]]"
27	** At one point Mikey calls Serling "[[JustForFun/RobbyTheRobot Robby]]," much to Serling's annoyance.
28	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: During the truck chase, the Turtles and Splinter suddenly find themselves struggling to breathe and move. As Serling later explains, aliens from planets with different atmospheres and gravity living in the same city means everyone needs special tech to breathe and move normally from one area to the next.
29	* TechnoBabble: Don and Cody
30	* TimeSkip: Roughly 100 years into the Turtles' future, to the year 2105.
31	* WeWillMeetAgain: Before fleeing, Jammerhead says the Turtles and Splinter are on his list.
32	* WhamLine:
33	-->'''Cody:''' It belonged to my great-grandparents.\
34	'''Splinter:''' Your great-grandparents?\
35	'''Cody:''' Casey Jones and April O'Neil. My name is Cody Jones and this is New York City in the year 2105.
