The quoted text is part of a rap song. Elision such as omission of personal pronouns is often found in casual or informal speech, slogans, song lyrics, etc.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rap
Does is the correct verb form. "Leonardo's the hero in blue. [He] does anything it takes to get his ninja through".

This kind of elision is something that, at least where I am from (New Zealand), would not be used, even in casual or informal speech. The only situation it feels valid to use is in a musical bit, such as what the quote seems to be.

It's "rap", apparently. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rap. This sort of thing is common in advertising slogans, song lyrics, etc. Compare e.g "Gillette. [It's] The best a man can get", likewise incorporated in a "rap" song (Dr Disrespect). Also

@severen This kind of elision is exceedingly commonplace in varieties of English throughout the world. I very much doubt that NZE is different. You’re not likely to notice it in casual speech, though, just like you’re not likely to notice repeated words, the number of uh’s used in a sentence, etc. It flies under the radar because it’s so transparent. In some cases, it’s almost mandatory; “always have/has (been), always will (be)”, for example, is close enough to idiomacy without pronouns that adding them in actually makes it jar.
