"The Correct Episode Order for Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"

That is a good question!

And I'm happy to explain why the episodes are in this order. 😁💜

Short answer:

It all comes down to "Production Codes"

(The important takeaway from this excerpt is that the code acts as a specifier as to when that episode was created relative to the other episodes in the series.)

My Explanation:

In my GOOGLE DOC, (or GLD, as I'll refer to it from now on) I've listed two sets of production codes for each half-episode.

Why? And where did these codes come from?

Well, they came from NICKELODEON and (I theorize) Flying Bark. 😌

NICKELODEON (as seen here) is where I sourced the "Prod. Code" column from in the GLD.

Nick has one Prod. Code associated with each full episode. Note that I said, full episode. Full episodes are the 22 minute blocks that were received by the streaming platforms (Netflix, Paramount Plus) from Nick.

Meaning that each 22 minute block equals 2 actual episodes of Rise, yet they only receive a single code. ie. Origami Tsunami/Donnie's Gifts only received ONE code from NICKELODEON even though they were produced as two separate episodes.

Hmm, that system is fine for casual streaming, but when you care about the actual episode order, NICKELODEON's codes create errors in chronology!

So, that is where the second set of codes and the next company comes into play...

Flying Bark (FB) is the production company behind the Rise of the TMNT and its movie as they're the ones that created the animations!

And, although it's pure speculation on my part since production information for Rise is scarce...based on what I did find, I've made a few deductions:

1) Since Flying Bark is where Nick received the Rise episodes from, FB wouldn't have used Nick's released "Prod. Codes" for animating as that just wouldn't make any sense... (one code for two episodes, remember?)

2) While browsing the TMNT Wiki, I noticed that each episode has a completely different code listed that are not NICKELODEON's production codes.

These new codes, referred to as "Season Codes," are unique to every single 11-minute episode, further confirming that these production codes probably didn't originate from Nick!

3) When chronicling these "Season Codes," I noticed that they order the episodes in such a way that suddenly eliminate all of the glaring plot issues!

ie. Suddenly, Minotaur Maze comes WAY before The Fast and the Furriest. etc. etc. etc.

So with all of these points, I concluded that the "Season Codes" must come from production, specifically a production in which the episode order mattered because they were the ones creating them in order! →→→ FLYING BARK!

So, with that discovery, ordering the episodes became way more straight forward:

✨Follow the "Season Codes" and you'll have your order!✨

Of course, there are still a few minor hiccups, but I addressed all of those with the asterisk (*) in the Google Doc.

So yeah, there's my reasoning!

And with that, I truly believe that this list is the ACTUAL EPISODE ORDER! 😁

Though, if anyone still has any questions, I'll be happy to address them! ☺️💜
