** While part of the reason was simply due to pride, Raphael points out that Leo showing mercy to the Purple Dragons would just allow them to terrorize Murakami again in the future. Leo himself implicitly admits that Raph has a point.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Bradford said he's the reason Xever managed to defeat the turtles, and to be honest, he wasn't wrong. He took down Don and Mikey by himself, and double teamed Leo with Xever. Raph was the only turtle Xever defeated on his own. If you do the math, Bradford defeated two and a half turtles while Xever defeated one and a half.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsEasy: Discussed. Raph frames this as though showing lack thereof mercy would make it easy to defeat their enemies and send a message. However, Splinter also frames it as an indication of a weak character. Later, it's exemplified that Xever wins out on the hostage situation because he had no compassion towards Bradford, indicating lack of honor among other things.

** Subverted. Murakami seems to be named after Jimmy Murakami of Murakami Wolf, the animation studio responsible for the 1987 series. In reality, Ciro Nieli named him after a friend of his, possibly ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' collaborator Glen Murakami.

** A more straight example occurs when Mikey's telling the others about how he wants to get a tattoo of his face ''on'' his face which is briefly overlaid with the '87 Michelangelo's face.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Subverted. While Xever mocked the Turtles for not having the guts to throw Bradford off the roof, he admits he didn't know that they wouldn't go through with it. He has no regard for Bradford, so he wouldn't have cared if they did toss him.

* GoodIsNotSoft: The central theme. Raph chastises Leo for showing mercy, saying brute force is the only thing punks like the Purple Dragons will ever understand. Splinter reminds him that mercy is not a sign of weakness at all. When push comes to shove, Raph finds he doesn't have it in him to throw Bradford off the roof. The abused Purple Dragon also repays Leo's earlier mercy by helping him out.



* HostageSituation

to:

* HostageSituationHostageSituation: The Purple Dragons take Murakami hostage. The Turtles try to one up them by doing the same to Bradford in order to secure a release, but Xever really couldn't care less if they threw him off the roof.
* IOweYouMyLife: Murakami reveals he knows the Turtles aren't human, but it doesn't matter because they saved his life.
