Yeah, but I think that Shredder went a bit easier on him, though... I mean, Shredder wasn't doing any moves like he did in "Showdown" against Splinter, did he?

Not that I'm saying that Raph has a chance, but I'm just implying that Shredder may not have been giving all he could muster. Yeah, Shredder was fighting on defensive, but anyhow it was nice to see how Raph has evolved.

Another detail about Shredder fighting on defensive I found really cool, at the end of the episode when the Mutanimals and the turtles attacked him together, you can see he was barely able to stand his ground. And I love to see Shredder like that, cuz' it doesn't happen very often. I mean, we only get to see this when he's going against Splinter, so yeah, gotta give some credits to the turtles...

To the mutanimals not so much, because of their enconter with Tiger Claw earlier :v
