Anyway, this was the first time in the opening sequence when Splinter's eyes turned red. However, the whole "canister of mutagen that doesn't appear broken or cracked" has always been like that. I just watched Wormquake and decided to watch opening sequence of the Wormquake frame by frame and Splinter's eyes turned red for just a sec. I wonder if his eyes are red in season 1 intro.

One moment he's holding a canister of mutagen, and yes the canister was always like that and the next moment the broken canister is on the ground and it looks like Splinter is setting the turtles down. When I saw this first time watching the show I thought Splinter mutated them on purpose while already mutated himself, but we know the origin story from the Rise of the Turtles. So this means nothing. It's just to express their mutation quickly in intro.

I've looked in the season 1 and 2's opening sequences and Splinter's eyes are normal... It only seems to only be in season 3...

So, what does this mean...? It might be foreshadowing the Rat King's return for all I know.

I take screenshots of the season 1 intro when I watched Rise of the Turtles, and yes in all 3 season's opening sequences his eyes are red. I watched it carefully frame by frame. We know that Rat King made appearance both in season 1 and 2, maybe he'll return.
