Voice-over introduction[]
Splinter: We have fought many battles before, but the one ahead of us is for nothing less than the fate of the entire planet! The original Shredder has risen, and he has turned New York City into a dark citadel that swarms with his vile minions. It is here that the fate of the world will be decided. It is here that the final confrontation has begun.
Leonardo: ATTACK!
Splinter: Fighting alongside my sons are the forces we have gathered. Miraculously, the Acolytes have returned to fight for the cause. The Justice Force, our stalwart ally, is here as well. The hour is so desperate, that even former enemies are with us. Stockman and Bishop, Hun and the Purple Dragons, along with Chaplin and his magic weaponry. We fought our way into the Shredder's chamber, but alas, the Dark One was able to repel even this mighty alliance.
Shredder: We require a larger arena!
Splinter: The Shredder transported all of us, and my sons and I were separated leaving me deeply troubled, for I have seen horrors come to pass in my dreams. And now those dreams, those nightmares, are becoming real!
Plot[]
The final showdown! With the help of allies and enemies alike, the Turtles have fought their way through a demonic version of New York to confront the Shredder once and for all! This night the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will meet their destinies… whether it be to live or die!
Shredder struck down the Turtles and went to attack Splinter when Hamato Yoshi manifested from the Turtles' Amulets. Yoshi snatched the Shredder's Trident and slashed him with it, which caused precious energy to leak from his armor. To repair himself, the Shredder restored New York to normal before he transformed into his dragon avatar. The Turtles also became dragons and battled against him, but the Shredder proved too strong. Karai began to sap Shredder's energy again, so he went to destroy her. But the Turtles struck back as Shredder slowly got weak, and reverted to his human form. Out of desperation, Saki tried to charge against his foes, but the Turtles tossed him around, and separated his gauntlet, which was crushed in Michelangelo's mouth, and helmet, which was stomped by Leonardo. When the Turtles returned to their normal forms, their acolyte amulets manage to collide and manifested Yoshi's spirit once again. Yoshi sliced the Shredder in half with his sword. In addition to the Shredder's physical form destroyed, his demon essence was destroyed as well because Yoshi was summoned as a completely astral manifestation, a full projection of purity from the astral plane that could eradicate demonic essences. Therefore, the one true Shredder was utterly vanquished forever. After delivering the final blow against the Tengu Shredder, he exchanges a brief and moving greeting with Splinter before he disappears.
As the dust finally settles, the heroes all begin to parts ways, Bishop takes the damaged Baxter Stockman back to their base for future purposes, as mutters to himself: "It seems the pain will never end", then the Ninja Tribunal suddenly appeared, explaining that by causality, by not helping the Utroms, it created Splinter and the Turtles. Now that their duty is done, they prepared to "move on" and invited the Ancient One to join them. Karai holds Chaplin's hand, ready to start a new life and a new day, without vengeance or the Shredders to stir things up. Silver Sentry and the Justice Force leave as well, but before telling the Turtles that they saved the world, but Leo admits they all did it together. The remaining champions: The Turtles, Splinter, and the acolytes, congratulate each other for the efforts, and Joi believes they should all be rewarded for their efforts, as Splinter decides to treat them, and the camera pans to the morning sky, ending the episode.

Notes and errors[]
- Though the Turtles' amulets were destroyed after they turned to dragons, in one scene Leo still had his on, in the next shot, it's gone.
- After Yoshi kills the Shredder, the Turtles line up in front of him with their auras shining, but then Mikey's aura suddenly disappears.
Trivia[]
- While the same voice actors would return for the 6th (Fast Forward) & 7th (Back to the Sewer) seasons, this episode marks the final use of the 2k3 art style and tone. Many fans even suggested that this episode should have been the series finale. (The ending with the heroes walking victoriously towards the sunrise supports that idea.)
- This is Hamato Yoshi's final appearance in the series.
- This episode is ranked #1 on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Top Ten.
- Final appearance of the Foot Ninjas in their new costume designs, starting with next season they'll go back to their first three seasons design before going through another new change for TMNT: Back to the Sewer.
