[edit] Voice-over introduction

Usagi : The paths we walk in life are different for each of us. Some walk the land without a care in the world while some choose to take on burdens that would crush the spirits of most. The land cares little of which path you choose. But its inhabitants are another matter entirely. Clearly, this is not our land. Gennosuke and I came to visit old friends, but I fear now that our presence has done more harm than good.

[edit] Plot synopsis


Master Splinter invites Miyamoto Usagi—and the irresponsible, sloppy Murakami Gennosuke—from their dimension to Earth in the hopes that Usagi can speak to Leonardo about his wayward attitude. When Gen wanders off to explore downtown Manhattan, the Turtles, Usagi and Casey set out to find him. Their search becomes complicated when an assassin, sent after Leonardo by Lord Hebi, follows Gen and Usagi to Earth.

[edit] Quotes

[edit] Miscellanea

  • When Gen disguises himself in human clothing, he looks like Rocksteady from the 1987 Ninja Turtles series.
  • The assassin after Gen resembles that of a boar. The assassin is yet another nod to the 1987 series, with the boar assassin (Bebop) after a rhino (Rocksteady).
  • Before Gen enters the portal to go home, he expresses his desire to see Las Vegas, to which Donatello replies, "Maybe in a hundred years or so." This line is an allusion to the spin-off series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward.
  • Some of the places the turtles bring Gen and Usagi are Yankee Stadium and Times Square.
