Super Shredder returns to confront the turtles and their allies.
- Attack Its Weak Point: Subverted. Previously, Super Shredder's weak point was his exposed mutagen heart. However, Stockman-Fly's batch of 'super mutagen' proceeded to 'stabilize' his condition; the heart is now no longer his weak point, and proved to be impervious to even Karai's sword, which she found out the hard way.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Overall, Shredder clearly wins the episode, having killed Splinter, something he had being trying to achieve since the start of the show.
- Battle Amongst the Flames: Shredder and Karai's duel in the Mighty Mutanimals' burning base. Shredder remarks that it reminds him of her mother's death, and Karai nearly dies in this fire.
- Big 'NO!': Leo lets out one after Shredder tosses Splinter off the Wolf Hotel building.
- Bishounen Line: Averted. Super-Shredder's 'stabilized' form is identical to before, apart from the blades emerging from him being slightly longer, his eyes not glowing anymore and his previous weak point (the mutagen heart) now being invulnerable.
- Bloodless Carnage: Splinter is first stabbed then thrown off of a very high building, and his body shows no blood or carnage.
- Call-Back: At the amusement park, Bebop uses his 'Turtles, come out and pla-ay!' line again, even invoking the trope by name.
- CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: After saving an unresponsive Karai from the Mutanimals' burning base, Leo is able to revive her with CPR.
- The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Shredder's love for Tang Shen, and her choosing Splinter over him, is his primary reason for turning evil. By this time, he's fallen so far that he no longer seems to care about Tang Shen at all, having absolutely zero qualms against mocking Shen's death to Karai's face by declaring that it's fitting that Karai will die in the same manner as her mother.
- Darker and Edgier: As the situation spirals out of control, the heroes resort to outright killing their enemies. Leatherhead drowns Rahzar, and the party that confronts Shredder atop the Wolf building had every intent of killing him.
- Dirty Coward: Leatherhead calls out Rocksteady as this after being attacked from behind.
- Disney Death: Rahzar is dragged helplessly to the bottom of the river by Leatherhead, and Leatherhead surfacing without him and the camera focusing on this implied that Rahzar was killed. In Season 5, it's revealed that he did, in fact, die, though Kavaxas brings him back to life.
- Downer Ending: The Shredder finally succeeds at his goal of killing Splinter, and unlike the last time, it sticks, leaving the Turtles without their father. And to top it off, the Hamato Clan's own attempt to kill Shredder fails, leaving him able to menace them for the finale. Also, Karai has been seriously injured.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Shredder tells Splinter that his weakness is that he cares about others.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: Splinter is impaled on-screen, and then, for good measure, thrown off a building. Earlier, Rahzar is dragged underwater by Leatherhead and drowned.
- Forgot About His Powers: Karai doesn't attempt to utilize her mutant snake form during her fight with Super Shredder, even though it could have possibly evened the odds, or held him off until backup arrived.
- Hurricane Kick: Splinter pulls one off against Shredder.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Splinter, when Shredder succeeds in killing him once and for all. Note that this happened before in 'Annaialation: Earth', but was undone by time travel.
- Killed Off for Real: Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, thrown off the roof, and nothing mystical in the heroes' possession to fix or undo it, it is unlikely that Splinter will be brought back to life this time.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: After seeing Shredder beat the crap out of Rockwell, Mondo Gecko decides to sit the battle out.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Mikey says the series is winding down and they're at the end of the season...before holding up a VHS of Chris Bradford's cartoon.
- Meaningful Name: A requiem is a Catholic mass for the deceased. Though, it should be noted that Splinter doesn't die until towards the end of the episode, after which all four Turtles are seen carrying his corpse and grieving over his death and the funeral occurs in the next episode.
- Mythology Gag:
- Casey's crushing of Shredder in the garbage truck after a fall from a rooftop parallels the same action taken at the end of the original live action film. He also says the same line ('Oops.'), albeit much more harshly and bitterly. Just like this Shredder, that Shredder’s encounter with a garbage truck failed to kill him as well.
- The Raised Hand of Survival mentioned below parallels the Shredder doing this in the second live action film. Interestingly, he did this twice, the second as Super Shredder, which, unlike this time, was subverted into a Dead-Hand Shot.
- Splinter has suffered several deaths across the mythos, though this is one of the first instances of the death sticking since the original comics.
- The villain's transformation form in Chris Bradford's show looks very similar to Carter's mutated form in the original 1987 series.
- As noted below in Where It All Began, the confrontation with Super Shredder takes place stop the Wolf building just as the first confrontation did in this series. As this arc is the last of the show before the Post-Script Season, this could also apply on a meta example considering the Wolf building is named after Fred Wolf (of the 80’s series).
- Raised Hand of Survival: Super Shredder's hand busts out of the top of the garbage truck he was in, indicating that he is still alive even after the fall and being crushed.
- Relative Button: After setting the Mutanimals' base on fire, Shredder declares to Karai that it's fitting that she should die just as her mother did: in an inferno. Karai promptly flies into a rage and tries to stab Shredder directly in the heart... only for her blade to shatter against it.
- Sanity Slippage: Just when you thought Shredder couldn't possibly get any more insane than he did when he became Super Shredder, he does. By now, he doesn't even care about Karai at all anymore, and tries to kill her like everyone else on Splinter's side.
- Suddenly SHOUTING!: Shredder pulls this off after impaling Splinter in front of Raph and April.Shredder: And now, Hamato Yoshi... DIES!!
- This Cannot Be!: Rockwell's reaction when Super Shredder No Sells blasts from his laser guns.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Annihilation Earth already proved Shredder to be irredeemable, but he somehow managed to become worse by mocking Tang Shen's death to Karai's face, implying he doesn't even care about Tang Shen anymore even though her picking Splinter is one of the reasons he turned evil in the first place.
- Wham Episode: Splinter has been Killed Off for Real.
- Where It All Began: Splinter, April, Casey, Raph, and Slash confront Shredder atop the Wolf building, where Raph notes their first confrontation with him took place. Slash declares that they'll finish him there as well.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are!: When Splinter tells Leo that he will one day be the 'father' of the group, Leo has doubts, recalling that Splinter first made him leader of the team only because he asked. Splinter admits that he actually made Leo the leader because he always knew he had it in him, even when Leo was a child.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Splinter dies the same way as he did in Annihilation: Earth!; Shredder taking a cheap shot by impaling him from behind, implying this was how he was always destined to die, only the Turtles bought him some time by undoing the previous timeline.

Tmnt 2012 Dailymotion Season 4
The Turtle team hunts for their Sensei, but soon realizes they are being hunted as well.
- Agony of the Feet: Splinter's injured foot leaves him struggling. The Rat King also simulates what the Super Shredder did to him last time.
- Attack Its Weak Point: Karai tricks Super Shredder into getting in close by appealing to his twisted love for her, then punches his exposed heart.
- Bad Boss: Shredder is mentally deteriorating so much that he's even manhandling Tiger Claw.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Bored while waiting for Donnie and Mikey to find Splinter, Casey takes practice shots and remarks he'd like for something crazy to happen. He ends up hitting Bebop, exposing his and Rocksteady's presence and triggering a fight.
- Big Bad Ensemble: This is the only episode where both of the most personal threats to Splinter (Shredder and the Rat King) antagonize him. Super Shredder/Oroku Saki and the Rat King/Dr. Victor Falco never meet, however, as the Rat King is a hallucination/ghost at the bottom of an abyss and his decayed body appears down there, while Shredder remains on the surface to confront Leo, Karai and April.
- Big 'NEVER!': Splinter's reaction to the Rat King saying he belongs to him.
- Big 'YES!': The Rat King when Splinter's feral side starts emerging.
- Body Horror: The mutation takes a toll on Super Shredder, as his arm starts withering.
- Body of Bodies: The Rat King surrounds itself in rats to create a giant rat monster, although it later turns out to be just a hallucination.
- Blood from the Mouth: Or rather, mutagen from the mouth; After Karai punches his exposed heart, Super Shredder coughs up a decent amount of mutagen.
- The Bus Came Back: The Rat King makes his first appearance in over a season... but only as a hallucination and a decayed corpse.
- Cerebus Syndrome: Easily one of the darkest episodes, being one of the only ones that actually shows death and blood.
- Dead All Along: Rat King.
- Dramatic Irony: The scene where Leo, Karai and April fight Tiger Claw, Karai saves April from a blow by Tiger Claw, considering not that many seasons ago Karai was the one trying to kill April and the two were enemies at the time.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Downplayed. The Super Shredder still wants Karai to call him father, but he still nearly crushes her with a truck during the street fight.
- Evolving Credits: The opening titles are altered slightly, replacing Shredder with his mutated form.
- Flashback: To Mutation Day.
- Fire-Forged Friends: Starting to be this way with Karai and April.
- Flashback with the Other Darrin: Leo's line in the above flashback is done by Seth Green instead of Jason Biggs.
- Friend to All Living Things: Rat King advises Splinter to chow down on a rat to sustain himself, but Splinter can't bring himself to do it. Rat King derides this bit of nobility and says it will change after enough time in the pit.
- I Can't Sense Their Presence: April mentions she can't sense Splinter, though she states this could simply be because he's unconscious.
- Little 'No': Splinter when faced with the giant rat monster.
- Killed Off for Real: This episode confirmed Dr. Victor Falco/The Rat King died when he suffered his Disney Villain Death in 'Of Rats and Men.'
- Make Sure He's Dead: Noting that Splinter is a 'resilient old rat,' Super Shredder doesn't dismiss the possibility that he survived falling down the chasm, and orders his men to scour every inch of the chasm and make sure Splinter is dead. As it turns out, Splinter is indeed still alive, and the Turtles find him first.
- Makes Us Even: April saved Karai from being crushed by a tanker truck not long after Karai saved her from Tiger Claw.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Was Splinter hallucinating the Rat King due to a fever or was it his ghost? Splinter believes the former, but it's left ambiguous, especially as the Rat King is able to somehow wreck Splinter's broken foot.
- Morality Pet:
- Just as he's about to succumb to the Rat King, Splinter remembers Mutation Day with his sons and sees Tang Shen there.
- Karai manages to talk the Super Shredder down from beating Leo to death.
- Mythology Gag: Splinter's part of the plot echoes his 'City at War' storyline from the Mirage Comics: being injured and trapped in a confined space with the Rat King and how it all ends.
- Nightmare Face: The Rat King.
- No One Could Survive That!: Shredder averts this as he notes Splinter's resilience and immediately orders his men to search the chasm. Splinter also invokes this upon rediscovering the Rat King in the chasm with him, saying he couldn't have survived the fall. He didn't. Splinter discovers his corpse and realizes it was just a fever dream brought on by his injuries.
- Nose Bleed: When using her telekinesis to lift the tanker truck to save Karai, her nose is seen to bleed just before she throws it back at Super Shredder. The first (and only) time that blood is seen in the series.
- Not Quite Dead: The Teaser shows that both Splinter and Super Shredder survived the fall last episode. Subverted with the Rat King.
- Not So Above It All: Karai takes part in the Hamato team's hand gesture.
- Not So Different: The Rat King argues that he and Splinter are both similar, misbegotten creatures.
- One-Winged Angel: The Rat King's hallucination takes on a moving mass of rats in his ultimate attempt to corrupt Splinter into a feral rat.
- Psychic Nosebleed: When April uses her powers to push back the tanker truck Super Shredder threw, a trickle of blood leaks out of her nose. (This is the first time the show has ever had blood.)
- Reality Ensues: While Splinter surviving the long drop could be explained away by his mutant physiology, The Rat King, while being a human possessing great psychic ability over rats, is still human nonetheless and perished upon impact. Or at the very least, was horribly injured by the impact and subsequently died from his wounds.
- Revenge Before Reason:
- Despite everything that's happened, Super Shredder wants even more mutagen, despite Tiger Claw's urgent warnings.
- Karai manages to avert this, choosing to help the injured Leonardo rather than go after the weakened Super Shredder.
- Shockwave Clap: Super Shredder uses one to incapacitate April.
- Shout-Out: The previous episode shows Splinter and Shredder falling into a massive chasm and vanishing. This episode begins with that and shows them plummeting down the abyss as they continue to fight each other, similar to Gandalf versus the Balrog.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Leonardo's reaction when he sees Super Shredder barreling down the alley towards him.
- Voice of the Legion: The Rat King ghost's One-Winged Angel form has a distorted voice.
- Wham Shot: The Rat King greeting Splinter. Again when Splinter finds the Rat King's corpse.
- Who Are You?: Hears a voice in the dark offering to help him, Splinter responds by asking this. The Rat King emerges from the shadows.
- You're Not My Father: Karai specifically tells Super Shredder he was never her father when she punches him in the heart.
