The Street Phantoms have broken Jammerhead out of jail, and he's out for revenge against the Turtles. To make himself a better fighter, he uploads the moves of every martial arts master he can find into his cyborg system, making him a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Starlee's insufferable family have come to visit, and her mother doesn't exactly approve of Earth.
This episode provides examples of
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In addition to Kung Fu, Karate, and Jiu Jitsu, Jammerhead's data disk also apparently included data on fighting forms like "Kung Pao," "Martian Fisticuffs" and "Plutonian Thumb-Wrestling".
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Starlee's little brother, Glaxxor.
- Breaking Out the Boss: The Street Phantoms do this to Jammerhead at the beginning.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Referenced by Glaxar. What exactly is a "Number Four", anyway?
- Bring It:Splinter: Jammerhead! You want to fight? Fight a true master!
Jammerhead: Bonus round, baby! - Catch a Falling Star: When Leo, Don and Mikey are knocked out a window by Jammerhead, Raph uses his hover bike to catch them.
- Henpecked Husband: Starlee's father is clearly intimidated by his wife when she's angry. On the other hand, he immediately encourages her to listen to Splinter's advice about letting Starlee stay on Earth.
- Kameha Mehadouken: Jammerhead attempts to use this on the Turtles and Master Splinter, before Starlee interferes.
- The Klutz: Glaxxor, though it ends up coming in handy.
- Koan: Master Splinter tries to explain with a metaphor that Starlee's family needs to let her live her own life. They don't understand until she explains it to them.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: In previous appearances, Jammerhead was a recurring foe but never the most threatening. In this episode, he downloads enough fighting styles into himself that he can put a serious hurting on the Turtles and Splinter.
- Self-Deprecation: Starlee's mom thinks poorly of "those hyper-violent, mind-numbing Earth shows."
- Shout-Out:
- Jammerhead knows kung fu!
- Starlee's mother always knew that Earth was a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
- Jammerhead's final move takes cues from Dragon Ball, particularly the Kamehameha.Jammerhead: Ultimate Dragon Sphere Chi Cannon!
- Spanner in the Works: Starlee uses a live feed of her brother's clumsiness to jam Jammerhead's head from accessing the data disk.
- Took a Level in Badass: Jammerhead, although he outright admits that he cheated by downloading the moves, rather than learning them.
- Tracking Device: Jammerhead plants one on Donatello to find the rest of the Turtles.
- Upgrade Artifact: Jammerhead has an implant in his head that reads data from a disk and translates it into movement, allowing him to perfectly perform any martial arts move.
- Villain Cred: Jammerhead notes how he needs to get his street cred back after his last encounter with the Turtles.
- You Are Fat: Starlee's mother, immediately upon reuniting with her, says she's gotten fat. Starlee, who is clearly not fat, is unamused.
