![]() ![]() A blind man was walking the street not seeing a truck. ![]() ![]() Raphael and his brothers were bought by a young boy from a pet store. This happens on numerous occasions, like when he stops a blow from hitting Donatello using only his sais or kicks the Shredder away from Leonardo when the latter is about to attack. Raphael is shown to be intensely loyal, and is often the first to react when another of his brothers is in trouble. Raphael will often put the security of his family and sometimes friends in danger as far as disobeying Splinter and Leonardo, but will react immediately if they are in danger. Despite differences, Leo and Raph arguably have the closest relationship of the Turtles emphasized in the series, as their conflicting views and care for one another is a key point in many episodes throughout the entire series. Raphael continues to challenge Leonardo's decisions in this incarnation as well, as he and Leo often argue over what to do in certain situations, Raph usually favoring a direct and confrontational approach. In the episode The Ultimate Ninja Raph attempted to protect Leo from the Ultimate Ninja when he challenged him and lashed out in anger and fear when Leo was nearly hurt. As Leonardo recovered, Raphael was also the one who supported Leonardo the most, even helping him to create new swords and paying the greatest attention to the care of his brother. He has also been driven to tears for fear of losing Leonardo when he was nearly killed by the Foot. Though it has been shown that he deeply cares for him. Michelangelo has a tendency to severely annoy his brother, from playing pranks, to taunting, gloating, and overall rubbing his accomplishments in Raphael's face (which leads him to knock Michelangelo down a peg and Raphael would often slap Michelangelo upside the head). Raphael's relationship with Michelangelo is unique in this series. It is implied in this series that Raphael has entomophobia, the fear of insects at the worst of it, he has shown on many occasions to possess an unrivaled hatred of bugs. He is shown to be a skilled motorcyclist and has his own motorcycle, the " Shell Cycle," which Donatello designed and created for him. In all incarnations of the turtles except for the 1987 cartoon, Raphael appears to live in the shadow of Leonardo and resents his brother's social position in the group however, his rivalry with his brother is heavily toned down in comparison to the comic books and rarely shows a deep hatred towards him as the series progresses. His best friend is generally regarded as Casey Jones. His relationship with Donatello consists of poking fun at his intellect or annoyance at his long-winded explanations, more or less thinking of him as somewhat of a dork, yet still his brother. His angry personality may be a cover up for his true feelings towards his brothers. He often argues with Leonardo and Michelangelo, although he is depicted as being very close with both at times. He also talks with a similar Brooklyn accent used in the movies. One incident where he almost smashed Michelangelo's head in with a pipe is shown here, as it did in Raphael#1. In the 2003 TV show, Raphael's personality is more akin to his original incarnation-he is angrier and more sardonic, but not quite as violent (although he is still impulsive). ![]()
