But seriously, since this was The Return of The Shredder, he should have been seen at least once in the suit, right? Hell, imagine if instead of just seeing him laugh we see him putting it back on, at least the helmet. This isn't The Return of the Shredder, this is How Saki Got His Groove Back.

[@thehorrorhound6575]

Shredder: “haha spar with me old frenemy!” Splitter: “we have fought hundreds of times and it’s always seemed like a draw!” Shredder: “perhaps deep down I’ve always had a respect for you and your students.” Splinter: “yeah but now that we have some kind of common ground, now Seems like the perfect time to mention a MacGuffin and accuse you of murdering my master and stealing it!” Shredder: “wait..did I do that? I’m genuinely asking because we’ve never mentioned this plot line before..” Splinter: “I hate you. I should’ve never helped you, even though I will again later, any chance of us being uneasy allies forged out of respect is immediately gone and it wasn’t even reached organically.” Shredder: “ok bye, I’ll go laugh somewhere for no reason and then turn evil again at the end of the episode, character development is lame.” There. I basically short handed the entire episode.

[@ShusukeAmagaiBakoto]

They should’ve had Shredder get amnesia from Venus, then show up as a bum who either befriends Splinter or who splinter runs into doing some good things, that way there could be a debate on whether or not they should treat Oroku Saki and this new identity the same or not. Maybe he has a pet who loves him like Splinter did Yoshi who becomes his mutant henchmen after he turns bad again. There could even be an even split of who wants to end him (Raph for clear reasons and Donny who thinks it’s the smart thing to do before the memories return) who doesn’t (Leo because that wouldn’t be honourable and Mikey believes in people like the heart of the team he should be) and who’s Unsure. (Splinter morality vs what happens if Splinter remembers and he could’ve stopped it while Venus could be dealing with the consequences of mind wiping. Maybe someone offhandedly blames her for the situation, so she vows never to do it again, hence why we never see it again.

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

See the problem there is that would be good writing with a genuinely complex issue that doesn't have an easy answer. We all know this show wanted no part of anything like that and actively defied any elements that could've improved it

[@manticorephoenix]

I feel like I’ve seen this before

[@retrogamelover2012]

Also, I would've thought that with the Foot clan, that whilst it certaihly would've been rather crippled, with them losing Shredder, that I can imagine there being members of the clan trying to regroup and rebuild slowly, supposedly over the course of the series, with someone else pretty much taking the helm. That certainly would've been interesting. Especially when, depending on the leadership, it could always leave the Shredder in an awkward position, if he did regain his memory, considering his organization would've been hijacked by another guy, whilst he was out of commission.

[@oswaldfriedman7116]

I think if the show was, well, competent, Venus could have a really interesting dynamic with Shredder. She doesn’t have a history of fighting him like the other turtles, so I could see her being more sympathetic to him. Perhaps they form a pseudo friendship of feeling like they are in a world they don’t belong in (Venus in New York and Shredder without the foot clan to command) I could even see a compelling side-swap story with Venus joining the foot clan, since she doesn’t get along with the turtles anyway

[@Webshooters1]

I like how there's a germ of a good idea in this episode but Next Mutation did it's best to kill it before it could be anything good. I like the idea of Shredder after having fallen so low, is forced to team up with the turtles to take on a common threat and the twist could be maybe this humbling makes him truly want to change his ways but because he's regarded with suspicion and fear by the turtles that eventually the alliance breaks down and Shredder goes back to his villainous ways and becomes a third faction with the Foot Clan making it's return.

Actually the ORIGINAL cartoon series KINDA already did this idea where Shredder had amnesia and the Turtles take him back to the lair. However Splinter was smart because after Leonardo rightfully pointed out the danger of letting him stay Splinter hypnotises Shredder into thinking he's Michaelangelo. He remains that way until apparently hearing his old name snaps him out of it and he still pretends to be Michaelangelo setting the Turtles up for a trap. Actually the whole episode is cool and everyone ACTUALLY acts smart; mostly. Next mutation just crapped all over this concept done 20 years ago and also made everyone an idiot.🙄

Kitty litter? Still have drunk censorship over here!😅 Yes I’m BRITISH 🤣

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Ya know, looking back at this I had a theory that the reason they wrote Shredder out may have been due to the show wanting the villains to be more cartoony and comedic rather than human like to avoid being censored too much. When you look back at it, the guys hardly ever fight and for the most part when they do it's with those COVERED dragon scouts. You know how the 80s cartoon made the Foot Soldiers robots in certain episodes to allow the guys to cut them to pieces while at the same time prevent them from getting censored by NOT killing humans? The same rule seems to apply with the dragon scouts as because we KNOW they aren't human, the turtles can kick their asses as much as they want but with Shredder, not a chance considering he's the most competent fighter in the series. They can get away with it when you put Bonesteel on screen because all his fights are comedic and goofy with all the moves usually being the guys wrapping him up in something like a 3 Stooges gag rather than real hand to hand combat. Even with Dragon Lord they didn't fight him a lot and he was supposed to be this massively powerful being that could top Shredder but they never did anything with him. Shredder was just a commodity they didn't want anything to do with because he wasn't 'exciting' compared to their new dragon villain but probably because of restrictions they couldn't utilize Dragon Lord for more than anything but sitting around and plotting stuff, also because the costume was so poorly made it may have made fighting a headache to do.

Just thought you should know that without the episode number in the title they stop showing the next review at the top of the sidebar. Also, searching for 25 turns up the finale instead of this. I'm guessing this one is suffering in views as a result.

[@gracekim25]

yes

[@johncaulfield8935]

If this gets taken down again, just put it on zip file and no one can do anything about it

[@MegaHoro]

It seems inviting one's archnemesis over to turn good overnight works better in Shaman King

[@Tareltonlives]

It is the way of the anime protag Splinter: Wanna go drive cars? Shredder: Bitchin

[@gracekim25]

I understand that reference 🤣

[@bootsthecat6718]

I'm going to keep thumbs up'ing this episode no matter how many times KZbin tries to take it down

[@gracekim25]

Yeah me too

[@EmiaRaine]

🎶 I Hate Splinter 🎶 *grooves down the sewers*

[@JomasterTheSecond]

So does that mean The Way of the Green is the New Way? It'd be fitting, since it's dealing with trash and all.

[@dnmstarsi]

Also they act like amateurs.

[@gracekim25]

When you realise Shredder looks confused when Splinter first mentions it, that indicates the character was not aware of it before or the fact the he ‘stole’ it😶…………. AH probably a coincidence 😜

[@hypno-scream5652]

Who the hell keeps claiming this!? Who wants to say they own Next Mutation!?

[@renamon5658]

I wonder how many seasons the next mutation would of gotten if it was good

[@shadowednight1600]

3, and that's being generous

[@hdofu]

Hard to even fathom this show being good.

[@dnmstarsi]

@@shadowednight1600 Yeah although this is a scenario if the show was actually good as opposed to Fox thinking this show deserved another season or two despite the awful quality.

[@iKadaj]

the splinter/shredder thing looks like a fanfic by someone who ships the main character with his enemy/rival and BS's up some way for them to just get over their canon issues and get together as a couple instead.

[@gracekim25]

I forgot what I said last time 😅 but I only just realised this one is back

[@gracekim25]

Fun fact: i've made that shuriken be a luck-based item (and give the user lightening powers XD) all based on what is seen in this episode😜 (also because Shredder lost the first time)

[@LaNoLaCola]

The shredder is so pathetic, that his return episode had to be edited thrice. What copyright holder is dmca-ing Phelan over the Next Mutation?!

[@KraigFang]

I have epilepsy… I saw no “dangerous flashing lights” 🤣

[@desmondmalone438]

9:53-10:40 there relationship is all over the place with this interaction

[@Shades14]

Bipolar disorder in mutant rats should really be discussed more.

[@briandxmaster8599]

Dragon Lord: Shredder? That is a stupid name…

[@nomadking5749]

Here's hoping this episode isn't taken down again for some strange reason.

[@dexstewart862]

And the biggest idiot of the episode was KZbin!

[@starlimitz2]

Out of all of the episodes in this series, this is probably the worst you've covered. I've only ever watched two episodes back when they were first on and that was a horrible mistake. As a kid I could barely tolerate them.

[@gracekim25]

Oh gosh 😅

[@maxordman4100]

Wow those UK cuts are so ridiculous. They basically wrecked that entire final fight scene down to only a few minutes. Those censor guys are completely nutty. Also Bum and Mook? Seriously not that offensive!

[@gracekim25]

They were definitely drunk 😂

[@masterbison8957]

KZbin keeps taking this down because it's your best video on the Next Mutation, and they refuse to let anything good come out of the Next Mutation.

[@renamon5658]

So the uk shredded this episode

[@gracekim25]

I apologise on their behalf 😅 (because I live here)

[@patrickharrisvideographer]

Almost done with the series. Looks like even YT hates it since it was taken down. KZbin is brain dead. I hate KZbin

[@autobotstarscream765]

I hate KZbin 🎶

[@entertainmentpowerfuchs5744]

Phelous is Canadas best KZbinr

[@markiangooley]

Drink the tea. Drink the Flavor Aid. Whatever.

[@neogotham2k395]

I guess we're sick of KZbin's new way due to the ridiculous issues

[@gracekim25]

Oh gosh 😅 hopefully this is the last time it’s re-edited…. First saw prior to 15.11.2021 before re-edit three times
