TMNT 2003 Dark Episode - Same As It never Was

[LittleCupcakeOfMemories]

And Leo was either blind or just wearing a Matrix cosplay.

The part where Raphael crawled over to Leo as he was dying and died alongside him was gut wrenching and heart breaking. Brilliant storytelling 🙌

One of the saddest and darkest episodes of the 2003 series.

[lifewiththekids]

Arguably the best episode of the series.. left me in shock after my first time watching it..

[BHStudios]

Oh goooottz, this arc! This was the first time that TMNT made me truly cry. It hit HARD. 🥺😭

[atavious]

I'm certain that this is what inspired The Last Ronin

[MrTylerdbz]

I remember when this dropped on 4Kids! Tha Cocoa Puffs was dropping out my mouth back in my bowl tha longer tha episode went.

[minecraftbrawler]

One of the best episodes from any TMNT show

[mayamaya]

Cutely sobs while remembering this episode

I still cant get over how the others get sent to an alternate universe that's somewhat related to their interest (Mikey - likes superheros, Raph - likes racing, Leo - besties w Usagi) while DONNIE??? DONNIE GETS SENT TO THAT????
Cmon Ultimate Draco, I thought your grudge was with Leo not the Donnie boy 💀💀

-Still would pay to see more of that dystopian future tho-
Edit: ugh autocorrect strikes again

[malcolmkoyama]

I cry when Ralph says Leo and then die😭😭

SAINW is one of the BEST episodes of the 2003 series! Kinda The Last Ronin before we got The Last Ronin.

We've seen some really cool and interesting TMNT crossovers lately; TMNT/Batman, TMNT/Ghostbusters, TMNT/Power Rangers and coming up next TMNT/Street Fighter, but mashing up the turtles with Terminator was a pretty bold move, especially considering the age group that this show was meant for. This was easily one of the darkest TMNT stories ever told and it was an episode of a cartoon series that was aimed at young kids. I know they were trying to revolve the show around the darkly toned Mirage turtles, which I greatly appreciated, without going too dark of course, but this was still pretty ballsey on their part.

[meltedcheese]

Yes! I feel like this is where they got some of the inspiration for the last Ronin

[Grossbuddygroodown]

Poor donnie the trauma he must’ve went through

[twisted_devil]

I swear leo was blind and this episode crushed me i was in dispair

[HectorGonzalez-rymu]

I remember this episode vividly bc of how sad and great the story was

[richcantgame]

To watch a show like this for the first time would be great. I don’t remember everything because I watched it as a kid and probably didn’t even see the whole thing but I doubt grown me would enjoy it as much

[wackywavinginflatablearmfl]

This is the best version if the turtles we've ever had and we need to go back

[Ms.Chymander]

Raph is just destined to not have an eye 😂

[rockymanuel]

This episode was brutal....very compelling tho TMNT 4ever
