Uh

i need the book

Around late 2018 a book called ROTTMNT: Ninja Power was released & it was basically a handful of Rise episodes in book form

The book had four episodes each told from the perspective of different characters: ‘Mystic Mayhem’ was told from April’s point of view, ‘Donnie’s Gifts’ was told from Leo’s, ‘Repo Mantis’ was told from Mikey’s & the episode ‘The Fast and the Furriest’ was told from Raph’s.

Even though each episode was told from a different character’s perspective the narration was basically an overview of what happened in each episode though there are still a couple of fun little extra character moments & bits or pieces of info sprinkled in with the different narrators.

According to April’s narration, April met the Turtle’s five years before the series started meaning that April met the Turtles when she was 11 (meaning Raph would have been 10, Donnie & Leo would have been 9 & Mikey would have been 8). This lines up with various tweets from Russ Carney who also said that April met the Turtles when she was around 11.  

April also mentions that there’s a basketball court on the roof of her apartment building, we’ve seen the Turtles play basketball at night before in the episode ‘Air Turtle’ but apparently they’ve been playing basketball together since they were kids. They’ve also been going out into the surface since they were at least around the ages of 10, 9 & 8.

April apparently finds Leo really funny & she also apparently laughs at his jokes all the time which fits with how throughout the show we’ve seen that Leo & April actually have a similar sense of humour

Leo: Looks like these fish are, wait for it you’re gonna love this, all washed up!

April: Sorry Kendra looks like your computers, wait for it, wait for it, crashed!

In the book April hears Draxum note that the Oozesquitoes have enough ooze/ mutagen in them to each mutate at least two different people.

The weapon that April uses in the first episode is called a shillelagh.

Leo: And who doesn’t love my one liners? They fire up the team! Right, guys?

Mikey & Raph: …

Leo: Anyway!

When Raph & Mikey don’t respond when Leo asks about his jokes, he pretends that they didn’t hear him.

According to Mikey Repo’s junkyard/ the junkyard that he & Donnie go to in the episode Repo Mantis is apparently located in Queens

Mikey: The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy!

Donnie: Featured in not one! Not two! But sixty sequels of Jupiter Jim’s Last Trip to the Moon! 

The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy apparently has its own song & Donnie & Mikey were singing it on the way to Repo’s junkyard after they managed to get the RV from Todd.

donnie sleeping with the action figure the guys gave him……🥺
