The entire show begins with a pack of teenagers heading out on their own in the world for the first time, even if it's not a good idea. Splinter's death fits. And hell, Yoshi's death was the start of everything in the comics, so. It's thematically consistant at the very least. What do you do when you have only yourself to fall back on/blame becomes what do you do when you really do only have yourself to fall back on and no magic do over.
