When he was in a fight Michelangelo, he almost hit Michelangelo with a pipe, while Leonardo stopped him just in time and Raph calmed down. Another example was in the City at War when Raphael wasnā€™t happy with Leonardo choosing to get involved the gang war he argued with Leonardo back and forth and tempers flare. He even walked out the team when he thought it was a bad idea to team with the foot, after a while he gave in and realized how crazy he was.

Raphael in this incarnation is a tough talking, street smart, no nonsense New Yorker with an attitude. Heā€™s sarcastic and a bit grumpy. Raphael loves wrestling and boxing, and is always ready to fight. When he does get angry at times he would stop himself and remain calm, sometimes he would put a fight or lose control. When someone calms him down, he would feel sorry. Like in [[Meet Casey Jones]] when Leonardo stopped Raphael from harming Michelangelo, Raph calmed down and felt guilty. Raphael's biggest fear is losing himself completely to his anger, and letting his temper get the best of him to the extent that he loses all other emotions.

His aggressive behavior sometimes causes tension with his brothers, especially with motor mouth Michelangelo. However, he deeply loves them all, and displays more caring, concerned personality traits when one of them is harmed or in serious danger. Raphael is shown to be intensely loyal, and is often the first to react when another of his brothers is in trouble. This happens on numerous occasions, like when he stops a blow from hitting Donatello using only his two [[sai]] or kicks [[the Shredder]] away from Leonardo when the former is about to attack.

As ordinary baby turtles, Raphael and his brothers were bought by a young boy from a pet store. Shortly after, a blind man was walking across the street without noticing a nearby approaching truck. A teenager ran to save the blind man, while inadvertently pushing the boy, who dropped the turtles. As the truck swerved, a canister of mutagen fell out and went down the sewers along with the turtles. The container broke and spilled mutagen on them. Splinter then saw the turtles and decided to keep them, and take care of them. After waking up, Splinter sees the change and decides to train them in ninjitsu. Raphael and the other three turtles trained with Splinter. Ā

As an example, the [[Things Change|first episode]] opens with an exercise where the objective was to get the candle Splinter was holding in his hand. Raphael came closest to getting the candle, before he was seen by Splinter and the candle was taken by Leonardo instead. Raph and Leo quickly traded insults at each other, while Michelangelo and Donatello watched. When their home was attacked by a group of [[Mousers|robots]], Raphael fought alongside his brothers and Splinter. After their home was destroyed, Raphael and his brothers separated from Splinter and went into [[New York]]. Raphael ended up being trapped in a van. Luckily, he was saved by Donatello and regrouped with Splinter.Ā

===Ninja Tribunal (Season 5)===
 
Raphael became one of the [[Ninja Tribunal Acolytes]] along with his brothers. He is the second of the [[ninja]] to focus his spiritual energy through the [[Amulet of the Acolytes]] and his spiritual avatar is that of a dragon. Although Raph gets annoyed with his brothers (especially Mikey) at times, [[Juto-Shisho]] thinks that protesting out of frustration suits him when he boldly steps into the spirit forge and is granted [[Banrai]].

He is the second of the [[ninja]] to focus his spiritual energy through the [[Amulet of the Acolytes]] and his spiritual avatar is that of a dragon. Although his brothers (especially Mikey and sometimes Leo) often bear the brunt of his temper, [[Juto-Shisho]] thinks that indignant anger suits him when he boldly steps into the spirit forge and is granted [[Banrai]].
 
 
In [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward|TMNT: Fast Forward]], Raphael was the only one who hated the future. Mainly his frustration was aimed at the technique used in 2105, which was highly developed.
   
 
The only time he liked the future is in [[Headlock Prime]] as he got to attend a wrestling match since he can now go out in the open. Raphael also fought the villain [[Triple Threat]], who sought to steal the belt and they fought in streets of the city where Raphael was cheered on by the crowd. Raphael earned the nickname "Turtle Terror" for defeating the villain.

In [[TMNT: Back to the Sewer]], the Turtles return to their present time, and even still Raphael is the grumpy tough talking New Yorker he's always been. However, in this series there are explicit facts that show that Casey and Raph are true best friends because in certain episodes, Raphael and Casey talk about the future wedding of O'Neil/Jones (April O'Neil/Casey Jones),Ā and Raphael always seems to be there for Casey and actually quotes "So, ya think I'm best man material, or what?" Thus, in the series finale episode, "[[Wedding Bells and Bytes]]", Raphael stars as the best man in the wedding; actually catching Casey just as he's about to faint from nervousness twice. Raphael also helps defeat the {{2003link|Cyber Shredder}}. Raphael is happy to leave the future and be back in his own time, but Raphael hates talking about it. Raphael also seems to be the tallest turtle brother in this series.

Circle-style-warning This article or section is incomplete. Some information regarding this topic has not been added. Please help TurtlePedia by finishing this article.

Raphael in the 2003 TV series is voiced by Greg Abbey. He is known as the strongest and the toughest of the four brothers.

Physical Appearance

Raphael wears the same knee/shoulder pads and belt as his brothers, but his traditional bandanna is red. He also has a darker skin tone, similar to an emerald green. In Fast Forward's and Back to the Sewer's different animation style, Raphael appears taller than his brothers.

Personality

Raphael's personality is similar to that of his original Mirage counterpart except heā€™s a bit more sarcastic and grumpier. Although heā€™s impulsive, heā€™s not as violent. When he was in a fight Michelangelo during the episode "Meet Casey Jones", he almost hit Michelangelo with a pipe, while Leonardo stopped him just in time and Raph calmed down. Another example was in the "City at War" when Raphael wasnā€™t happy with Leonardo choosing to get involved in the gang war he argued with Leonardo back and forth and tempers flared. He even walked out on the his brothers when he thought it was a bad idea to team up with Karai and the Foot. After a while he gave in and realized how impulsive he had been.

Raphael in this incarnation is a tough-talking, street smart, no-nonsense New Yorker with an attitude. Heā€™s sarcastic and a bit grumpy. Raphael loves wrestling and boxing and is always ready to fight. When he does get angry at times he would stop himself and remain calm, sometimes he would put a fight or lose control. When someone calms him down, he would feel sorry. Like in "Meet Casey Jones", when Leonardo stopped Raphael from harming Michelangelo, Raph calmed down and felt guilty. Raphael's biggest fear is losing himself completely to his anger and letting his temper get the best of him to the extent that he loses all other emotions.

His aggressive behavior sometimes causes tension with his brothers, especially with motor mouth Michelangelo. However, he deeply loves them all, and displays more caring, concerned personality traits when one of them is harmed or in serious danger. Raphael is shown to be intensely loyal and is often the first to react when another of his brothers is in trouble. This happens on numerous occasions, like when he stops a blow from hitting Donatello using only his two sais or kicks The Shredder away from Leonardo when the former is about to attack.

However, in this incarnation, Raphael doesnā€™t chicken out over bugs, heā€™s willing to fight the rivals who are bugs, but he does admit that he hates them.

Biography

Childhood

As ordinary baby turtles, Raphael and his brothers were bought by a young boy from a pet store. Shortly after, a blind man was walking across the street without noticing a nearby approaching truck. A teenager ran to save the blind man, while inadvertently pushing the boy, who dropped the turtles. As the truck swerved, a canister of mutagen fell out and went down the sewers along with the turtles. The container broke and spilled mutagen on them. Splinter then saw the turtles and decided to keep them, and take care of them. After waking up, Splinter sees the change and decides to train them in ninjitsu. Raphael and the other three turtles trained with Splinter.

Later in his childhood, Raph and his brothers attempted to teach Casey Jones how to fight effectively, though they were unsuccessful. He also was once attacked in the sewer by a large albino alligator, but was saved by Leo's intervention.

Season 1

As an example, the first episode opens with an exercise where the objective was to get the candle Splinter was holding in his hand. Raphael came closest to getting the candle, before he was seen by Splinter and the candle was taken by Leonardo instead. Raph and Leo quickly traded insults at each other, while Michelangelo and Donatello watched. When their home was attacked by a group of robots, Raphael fought alongside his brothers and Splinter. After their home was destroyed, Raphael and his brothers separated from Splinter and went into New York. Raphael ended up being trapped in a van. Luckily, he was saved by Donatello and regrouped with Splinter.

Ninja Tribunal (Season 5)

Raphael became one of the Ninja Tribunal Acolytes along with his brothers. He is the second of the ninja to focus his spiritual energy through the Amulet of the Acolytes and his spiritual avatar is that of a dragon. Although Raph gets annoyed with his brothers (especially Mikey) at times, Juto-Shisho thinks that protesting out of frustration suits him when he boldly steps into the spirit forge and is granted Banrai.

Fast Forward (Season 6)

In TMNT: Fast Forward, Raphael was the only one who hated the future. Mainly his frustration was aimed at the technique used in 2105, which was highly developed.

The only time he liked the future is in Headlock Prime as he got to attend a wrestling match since he can now go out in the open. Raphael also fought the villain Triple Threat, who sought to steal the belt and they fought in streets of the city where Raphael was cheered on by the crowd. Raphael earned the nickname "Turtle Terror" for defeating the villain.

Back to the Sewers (Season 7)

In TMNT: Back to the Sewer, the Turtles return to their present time, and even still Raphael is the grumpy tough talking New Yorker he's always been. However, in this series there are explicit facts that show that Casey and Raph are true best friends because in certain episodes, Raphael and Casey talk about the future wedding of O'Neil/Jones (April O'Neil/Casey Jones), and Raphael always seems to be there for Casey and actually quotes "So, ya think I'm best man material, or what?" Thus, in the series finale episode, "Wedding Bells and Bytes", Raphael stars as the best man in the wedding; actually catching Casey just as he's about to faint from nervousness twice. Raphael also helps defeat the Cyber Shredder. Raphael is happy to leave the future and be back in his own time, but Raphael hates talking about it. Raphael also seems to be the tallest turtle brother in this series.

Turtles Forever

In Turtles Forever, he would comment that he sees the 1987 Turtles as "fools, not ninjas". He thinks of the 1987 Turtles as ā€œa group of Mikeysā€. In addition would pick one of them up like a menace and the 1987 Turtles would get annoyed. Later he would jump in and save 1987 Leonardo, 1987 Raphael and Michelangelo from being crushed by a giant Utrom Shredder. He did, however, immediately take a liking to the Original "hardcore" Turtles, yelling "I love these guys!" He even said he would consider retiring to their world.

Pair of Sais

Relationships

Family

Leonardo

When Raph was a kid he wanted be the leader, and sometimes experiences envy over Leo's position over his brothers, although all he wanted to do is to please his family the best he could.

When Raphael got a little older, he grew out of his envy and accepts the fact that Leo is the leader and he respects that. He doesnā€™t argue with Leo very often, but they can butt heads on occasion.

However, the two are closer than they appear at first glance. After Leo was almost beaten to death by the Foot, Raphael was driven to tears over his fear that his brother would die. As Leo recovered, Raphael helped him forge new katanas and served as emotional support, which continued throughout their next conflict with Shredder. In "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.

Donatello

Don and Raph get along well the most. Raph sometimes can make some remarks but Don lets it slide. However Raph is usually the first to compliment him on one of his inventions. One of Raphā€™s favorite inventions that Don had invented is the Shell Cycle.

Michelangelo

Raph's relationship with Mikey is most strained compared to his relationship with his other brothers. Mikey loves to tease Raph for his amusement. Mikey is also very cocky and would taunt Raph about his accomplishments. In addition to Mikeyā€™s arrogant and taunting behavior, he would also pull pranks on Raph (and sometimes the other brothers). This would irritate Raph, prompting Raph to smack Mikey upside the head, tell him off, or (on rare occasions) beat him up.

However, it is shown that he does deeply care about Mikey, as evidenced by situations where it appears that his brother has been endangered. When it appeared that Leatherhead had hurt Mikey in "Hunted", Raph pleaded with his brother to say something to them.

Master Splinter

Raphael is quite close to his father, but is often at odds with him over the decisions Splinter makes with regards to his sons' involvement in the outside world. Splinter laments Raphael's temper, at times attempting to help him, as seen in "Meet Casey Jones". At other times, Splinter scolds Raphael about his anger and impatience, as in the episode "A Better Mousetrap."

Friends

Casey Jones

Casey and Raph are close, although they butt heads every now and then.

April O'Neil

One of the Turtles' greatest allies, April is more like a big sister. Raph often gripes about assisting her around her shop, 2nd Time Around, such as in the episode "Nano" or the episode "Touch and Go". He is, however, quite close to her, often worrying about her while also admiring her character.

Angel

Where Raphael views April as a 'big sister', he sees Angel as a little sister. Raph will immediately come to her aid when she asks for help, comforting her when she is upset, such as in the episode "The Darkness Within" when he hugs her.
