* NeverMyFault: After being transformed into Spider Bytez, Vic swiftly blames the Turtles for it... ''except'' if he hadn't started screaming about his phone when the Turtles were pulling him to safety, and then put himself in harm's way by trying to retrieve the phone ''in the midst of the Turtles fighting the Kraang'', he never would've come into contact with the Mutagen.

** Raph when Splinter scolds him for ruining the Turtles' mission and later on, when Leo berates him for ditching the fight with the Kraang to yell at Vic. In the latter, when Leo tells him to go home, Raph has the nerve to accuse Leo of power-tripping.

* FuryFueledFoolishness: Raph's HairTriggerTemper quickly turns him into TheLoad throughout the episode. He flies off the handle after being insulted by Vic, which leads to them drawing the Kraang's attention and Vic capturing the resulting fight on video. Later, when Vic decides to blackmail the Turtles into handing over the video, Raph snaps, draws the Kraang's attention once more, and then ditches his brothers in the middle of the fight to keep arguing with Vic, leading to the Kraang capturing the latter. At this point, Leo has had enough and forces Raph to go home.

After this, Leo and the others agree that Raph's temper is out of control and force him to go home until he reins it in.

* CreateYourOwnVillain:
** Spider Bytez invokes this trope, though it's arguable in his case: the Turtles were trying to save him, and would have succeeded if he had not kept acting like a combination of {{Jerkass}} and TooDumbToLive. His mutation was pretty much more his fault than theirs.
** Played straight with Splinter, who considers himself responsible for Shredder's StartOfDarkness, as he explains to Raph in an effort to TameHisAnger. Splinter recounts an incident where Shredder openly and relentlessly insulted him in front of Tang Shen, eventually leading Splinter to lose his temper and attack him. This caused their rivalry to intensify, eventually leading to Shen's death at Shredder's hands. Raph claims that he had no choice but to get angry since Shredder was insulting him, to which Splinter retorts that he ''could'' have chosen to just ignore him and walk away.

Added DiffLines:

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Justified when Splinter teaches Raphael how to take insults without letting them lose focus on any future missions, by having his brothers shoot at him with arrows while insulting him. What follows is Raphael going on a brutal verbal HumiliationConga, courtesy of his brothers.
-->'''Michelangelo:''' You move like a bloated buffalo!\\
'''Raphael:''' I do not!\\
'''Leonardo:''' --and you're always whining! "''[[{{Wangst}} Poor me, nobody understands me]]!''"\\
'''Raphael:''' You don't understand--! (''gets hit by an arrow'')\\
'''Donatello:''' You don't keep your back straight during ''Omote Kote Gyaku''! (''Shoots Raph with an arrow'') And you're ugly!\\
'''Michelangelo:''' --And gassy!\\
'''Raphael:''' Stop it!\\
'''Leonardo:''' Aw... You talk so tough, but inside you're just a scared little baby.\\
'''Donatello:''' Who needs his bottle?\\
'''Michelangelo:''' --And his diaper changed?\\
'''Leonardo:''' What's the matter Raph? You gonna cry?\\
'''Raphael:''' (''continuously getting hit with arrows'') [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I... AM... NOT... GONNA CRY]]!! (''one more arrow knocks him over'')
