RotTMNT Episode Timeline: Season 1

My 6th timeline so far, seems the least flawed at the moment so I’m going to post it. Reasoning under the cut!

Turtle Tots

-happens pre series

Mystic Mayhem

-first official episode in the series

-they didn’t go out trying to be heroes, but are proud of being heroes when they accomplish one (1) thing (not important, but adorable)

Origami Tsunami

-either the second or third episode, no later than that

-introduces them deciding to become heroes, but doesn’t introduce their characters the way mystic mayhem does

War and Pizza

-no turtle tank or other mutated villains mentioned

-raph’s powers are very new to where he can’t activate them, mustve just gotten his weapon

-COULD be before origami tsunami because April gets fired then is looking for a new job, but I am unsure, and it’s easier to say origami comes first

Donnie's Gifts

-is pre tank, meat sweats also seems to be their first encounter with a mutant in a villain capacity

Newsworthy

-HAS to happen early, because this is pre hypno part deux which is also pre tank

Minotaur Maze

-HAS to also happen early, because again, pre tank reveal

Shell in a Cell

-I put it here for another introduction to happen early, but namely after Minotaur Maze cause raph and leo have some unresolved tension by the end of that episode that could’ve added more fuel to the fire in this episode, where they finally resolve the issues

Repo Mantis

-HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME AS HYPNO PART DEUX

-spans about 4 days

Hypno! Part Deux!

-HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME AS REPO MANTIS (during one of the 4 days)

-raph and leo have made up fully yay!

The Gumbus

-The turtle tank is a massive undertaking, so my HC is that Donnie isn’t in this episode cause hes working on it (maybe raph is doing some heavy lifting for don)

-the other non-Donnie episodes don’t work due to other plot things stopping them (you got served is later in season 1, nothing but truffle has to be AFTER Lou Jitsu the game)

-also, an introduction episode, which makes sense earlier in the season

The Purple Jacket

-if Donnie had a fully functional turtle tank full of lethal weapons, why would the purple dragons NOT steal it?

-and if they didn’t steal it, why would don depend on april’s bike for transport and not a shell hog??

-has to be pre tank, but my hc is near the finish of the tank, cause riding in april’s bike reminds Donnie why he wants a tank so bad

The Fast and the Furriest

-TURTLE TANK REVEAL

-has to be BEFORE every episode with the tank (a pretty good number of them) so is early series but has several buildup episodes before it

Down with the Sickness

-splinter gets sick cause of meat sweats

-could go basically anywhere but I like it here

Mascot Melee

-weird to put right after don gets mad at his dad, but down with the sickness likely provides a week or a few between the episodes before n after, since splinter now has to take care of his 4 sick sons

-taking care of said sick sons likely makes his robe fucked to all hell

-while splinter does mention training them, implying the episode happens later, this episode HAS to happen pre bug busters due to the appearance of the mascot mutants in bug busters

The Longest Fight

-Is clearly the second encounter with the foot the boys have had, given their overconfidence taking them on and raph’s confusion/dialogue about them not stealing paper

-this episode also introduces the motive of the foot, which tv show story wise, should happen earlier

-could be after bug busters but I think it’s before

Bug Busters

-introduces big mama/the hotel

-is early series, but all the mutants pictured by big mama as well as the tank must happen before this episode

-This means it has to happen after Turtle Tots, Mystic Mayhem, Origami Tsunami, Donnie's Gifts, Newsworthy, Minotaur Maze, Repo Mantis, Hypno! Part Deux!, The Fast and the Furriest, and Mascot Melee due to either meeting the pictured mutant or the tank timeline

WARNING: TIMELINE GETS LESS SURE THIS POINT ONWARD

(I begin placing things that make more sense based on a story, less based on physical evidence such as cameos/appearances)

Stuck on You

-after bug busters when leo goes rogue and they’re barely able to agree on a plan, raph decides they need to team build!

-thus… this

Mrs. Cuddles

-happens likely before nothing but truffle, and cloak and swaggart as this is an intro episode

-I put here cause don isn’t working on shelldon yet but can go anywhere basically? It’s the first reference that splinter isn’t just the lazy fat man he seems to be

-splinter and raph hanging out likely helped uplift him after being sad in stuck on you, plus prank could be revenge for doing that to the poor boys

Race

-I just put it earlier in the series cause of leo’s portaling inability. Def happens in season 1 cause of mayhem

Pizza Pit

-has to happen before Bullhop and Claok and Swaggart

-putting here cause after the first failed attempt at team bonding, clearly raph needed to make up for the discomfort of the stuck on you episode. Also pizza week!

May 2018: Bullhop

-happens in either May 2018 or January 2019, but I think season 1 is supposed to be entirely in 2018?

-the date is based on the calendar we see. We essentially see almost an entire week, and can determine the 6th is on a Sunday with the 12th on the next Saturday. Then look at the months in 2018 where those numbers fall on those days!

-pre smart lair, cause otherwise shelldon would’ve likely been seen trying to clean up bullhops mess

-episodes between this and bug busters were likely harder for leo to enjoy cause of his guilt about bullhop, he decides they have to help him (he regets)

Hot Soup: The Game

-casey intro episode

-seems mid show, but has to be before nothing but truffle and all other casey episodes

Smart Lair

-donnie made shelldon! Woo! He didn’t like cleaning up after bullhop it was a nightmare

The Evil League of Mutants

-reawakening of splinter’s body dysmorphia but also him beginning to try to be a better dad

-them finding out LJ is their dad

-Draxum’s motives changing from mutate all the humans and destroy his sons to find dark armor

Late Fee

-splinter gives sons a simple task n offers hugs. Is post shell in a cell, but other than that? Just. Can go anywhere again. I put it here.

Sparring Partner

-after evil league of mutants, raph wanted to spar more than his brothers usually want to. He got an idea from all the foot soldiers thus, this episode!

-has to happen post LJ: the game cause of casey

Nothing But Truffle

-has to be post Lou Jitsu: the game cause mikey goes on his own without raph, likely after he yelled at raph dr delicate touch style for bursting in on his first solo mission

Man Vs. Sewer

-is pre shadows of evil cause of the reference to “shady past” in terms of splinter: they don’t know his ID yet

-post evil league cause of crab brothers

Mind Meld

-has to be post shelldon and post purple dragons

-here cause donnie’s frustration at his brothers for stealing tires could carry over to why he wanted to fundamentally change them

Al Be Back

-post evil league of mutants cause of splinter’s increased effort to spend time with his sons (joining their band), pre shadows of evil cause IF LOU JITSU OFFERED TO BE IN UR BAND YOU’D SAY YES IMMEDIETLY so they clearly don’t know yet

-here cause Donnie joining in on brother’s tomfoolery as an apology to brothers and to repair the damage he did, ends up having genuine fun

-leo is more sus of donnie’s mistakes with tech cause of recent still healing brother bond wounds mayhaps?

Portal Jacked!

-THIS IS PRE YOU GOT SERVED

-leo’s portaling abilities are similar to “Mutant Menace” where he can summon big portals, but this is beforehand cause he’s less sure about summoning those portals and easier to portal jack overall

-hueso doesn’t like leo at all at the start. This episode is what makes him and leo closer, thus he asks leo for help in you got served

C.O.W.A.B.U.N.G.A.

-post nothing but truffle, because mikey’s fanboyness is toned down, the betrayal likely fresh in his mind

-can really go anywhere tho, season 1 or 2

The Purple Game

-post shelldon!!

-likely later on cause of leo’s successful portal and raph’s large mutant form, showing their mystic powers growth

Turtle-dega Nights: The Ballad of Rat Man

-pre shadows of evil cause splinter doesn’t yet know his boys are fighting crime (“what have you boys been up to??”)

-post evil league of mutants cause splinter’s body dysmorphia is fresher than at the start of the series (my hc is it got a bit worse before he had an evil to face, aka between evil league of mutants and shadows of evil) and he’s actively trying to spend time with his sons more even if he’s not exactly good at it yet

Shadow of Evil

-HELPS DIFFERENTIATE MORE PLOT cause boys find out a lot of info, so episodes where they don’t know said info must come beforehand

Jupiter Jim Ahoy!

-happens post shadows of evil cause boys know Splinter aka Dad = Lou Jitsu aka DnA donar

-the allure of dad is LJ is fading fast cause they’re remembering their dads a bit lame, but they still love him

Operation: Normal

-no boots exist in shadows of evil on the armor, thus this is AFTER shadows of evil, but BEFORE bending enemies to your will

Raph's Catchphrase

-post meeting and getting used to Cassandra as an enemy, but pre how to make enemies cause Cassandra isn’t draxum’s minion atm, she’s still with the flame heads

The Mutant Menace

-has to be post AI be back, takes stockboy out for the rest of the season

-other than that, this placement is p general, put here to space out armor episodes

How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will

-post shadows of evil

-pre warren and hypno (via the shredder armor, it doesn’t have any hands yet)

Mystic Library

-LATE series, because of raph’s adept use of his mystic powers

-the foot guys messing with the turtles is maybe a power trip cause they feel more powerless with draxum in charge? That’s more of a HC though

The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek

-post shadows of evil, because splinter is training the boys more seriously

Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree

-post shadows of evil and how to make ppl bend to your will

-April’s birthday episode!!! Now if only I could put a concrete date to the episode-

-armor is closer to being finished, but not actually visualized

You Got Served

-happens after portal jacked due to the nature of leo and hueso’s relationship then vs this episode

December 2018-March 2019: Snow Day

-has to happen after late fee but??? No idea otherwise

-it’s just. Here. Cause idk where else to put it

-theres NO OTHER indication of seasons???? It snows for 1 day and never snows again??

One Man's Junk

-boys know about mystic armor (are actively trying to find it), thus post Shadow of Evil

-we don’t see the armor in this episode, so hard to tell how far it’s completed, presumably a lot though

-unlike warren stone where they came across the armor, they’re actively searching, likely cause they can feel the proverbial end of the road approaching

Cloak and Swaggart

-sandro brothers are seen w/o mutation, BUT splinter is taking the boys on a serious camping trip?? Also the thing with sunita’s boots having to be after shadows of evil… Seems to conflict with each other

-thus I am going with the idea that the Sandro brothers are wearing cloaking brooches

-otherwise this would fuck with everything so hard

-putting it down here so there’s a more even spread of sunita and a break between plot stuff

Insane in the Mama Train

-end of season 1, happens after everything else

End Game

-end of season 1, happens after everything else
