Seasons 1–5
Unlike the 1987 TV series, the 2003 series more closely matches the tone of the original comics, with a greater emphasis on action and themes of familial bonds. As a result, the 2003 series is more adult-oriented, while still being considered appropriate for younger audiences. The series adapts a large scope of story arcs from the comics, with the Turtles' adventures combining elements of both fantasy and science fiction.

The first season starts with the Turtles' Lair being destroyed by Mousers, creatures made by Baxter Stockman. On the hunt for a new place to live, the Turtles go topside and run into the Purple Dragons, who they later discover is led by Hun. The Turtles eventually get to the source of the Mousers and rescue April O'Neil. Who after this becomes the Turtles most trusted friend. Halfway through the season Leonardo is approached by The Foot Clan leader Oroku Saki, later learned to be The Shredder. First season ends after the Shredder attacks the Turtles and burns down April's home, Second Time Around Antique Shop. When the Turtles return to New York they confront the Shredder once more and Master Splinter goes missing, leading to the introduction of the Utrom.

Season Two starts with the brothers being sent in space. There they learn more about the Utrom, Shredder's origin, and meeting Triceratons. This season also introduces Karai, Shredder's daughter and pupil, when she comes to take control of New York during a gang war. This season ends in a four parter with the Battle Nexus.

In seaon three, the Turtles deal with an invasion from the Triceratons. This is also the introduction of Agent Bishop, who goes on to play a bigger part in season four with the mutants and monsters storyline. The Turtles meet the Renet, the Apprentice Timestress, which later involves them being scattered in different worlds/timelines.

Monsters and Mutants is the theme for season four. The Turtles run into various instances of running into monsters, a prevalent moment is a fake monster incident caused by Agent Bishop for political gain leans to a mess of fake ooze creating new creatures. One of which gets Donatello causing a secondary mutation which is eventually cured by the Turtles forcing Agent Bishop into solving the mess he called.

Season Five brings out the Ninja Tribunal and the Turtles training as acolytes to protect the world from the original Shredder, a dark evil coming back into being who threatens to set the world into darkness. During this season, the Turtles go through many trials and tribulations on their journey to become the best fighters they can be, eventually tapping into ancient energy and defeating the original Shredder.
