--->'''Leo:''' ''You.'' Aren't. Ready! You're impatient, and hot-tempered, and more importantly...''I'm better than you.''

** [[FridgeBrilliance Adding another reason for Raph to be angry at Leo.]]

** Also, it's not like Leo ''wanted'' to leave them, but he felt he ''had'' to in order to train to be a better leader. And it's implied he did it all for Raph, which makes the fact Raph still gives him shit all the more frustrating for him.
--->'''Leo:''' Hey, I was training; Training to be a better leader! For ''you!'' Why do you hate me for that?!
--->'''Raph:''' ''AND WHO EVER SAID I WANTED TO BE LED?!''

** What makes it worse is that it seems that Raph's resentment of Leo is due to envy. While at the surface, it does seem like jealousy, the heart wrenching dialogue before the fight where the two brothers finally let it all out makes it clear that what Raph was really mad about is the extended amount of time Leo spent away from home and the effect it had on their family (especially Raph himself). In a nutshell, Raph was angry at Leo because he felt abandoned by him.

--->'''Raphael''' I know why you chose him now. I know that there's a reason why he's the better son, and I'm not.

* The [[AllThereInTheManual little known]] origin of [[SuperheroOrigin how]] Raphael [[LegacyCharacter became]] the Nightwatcher is [[http://freyreh.tumblr.com/post/38990259750/tmnt-movie-prequel-1-raphael rather sad once you learn of it.]]

* During a brief argument between Leo and Raph at Casey and April's home, Raph tells him he quits and exits the apartment. Casey tries to stop him, reminding him that sometimes "you need to take a breather". Raph just tells him "whatever" and still leaves.
* The music titled "Raph Quits" playing during the scene just after Raph says "I quit!" sounds melancholy enough to fit in the intense argument scene.

** The blood-curdling scream Leo makes, echoing as he is incapacitated by the Stone Generals. Cue the close-up shot of two Foot solders holding guns up to his face minutes before that scream...

** Things get worse in which Leo realizes he is unable to stop Raph and his katanas break, culminating with Raph nearly finishing Leo -- by stabbing his sai just close by Leo's shoulder if not his face, missing him by an inch.

** ...And then minutes after his MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization, he takes off runnng. The rain as it hits his face and the sounds of desperation he makes in his running, makes it look and sound as if he is crying.

** When Leo and Raph become so heated in the battle with each exchanging death glares at the other and their swords locked together at the blades. Things get worse in which Leo realizes he is unable to stop Raph and his katanas break, culminating with Raph nearly finishing the death match -- by stabbing his sai just right by Leo's shoulder if not his face, missing him by an inch.

** ...And then minutes after his MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization, he takes off runnng. The rain alone as it hits his face and the sounds of desperation he makes in his breathing as he runs away, makes it look and sound as if he's crying.

** The blood-curdling scream Leo makes, echoing as he is incapacitated by the Stone Generals. Cue the close-up of two Foot warriors holding guns at his face...and the look on Raph's face when he realizes his brother is in trouble...

** When Leo and Raph become so heated in the battle with each exchanging death glares at the other and their swords locked together at the blades, complete with roaring thunder sounds and heavy rain fall to add to the scene's intense melodrama. Things get worse in which Leo realizes he is unable to defeat Raph and his katanas break, culminating with Raph nearly finishing the death match by stabbing his sai just right by Leo's shoulder if not his face, missing him -- by an inch.

** The look on Raph's face alone when he finally calms down and realizes that he had nearly killed his own brother.

** ...And then minutes after his MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization, he takes off running and the rain just pouring and the thunder just starts crashing. The rain alone as it hits his face and the sounds of desperation he makes in his breathing as he runs away, makes it look and sound as though he's crying.

** The blood-curdling scream Leo makes, echoing as he is incapacitated by the Stone Generals and the look on Raph's face when he realizes his brother is in trouble...

** The look on Raph's face enough when he calms down and realizes that he had nearly killed his own brother.

** Don't forget what happens after: The Stone Generals kidnap the too-tired-to-fight Leonardo and Raphael gives chase, but is unable to catch up with them and he falls to his knees, doing a BigNO as his brother is taken away.

* Leo and Raph's RooftopConfrontation. All the emotional tension and PoorCommunicationSkills between them leads to this; a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown between two brothers. As a final touch, the battle takes place in the rain, echoing the sadness of this scene; that in the end, this fight has become necessary.
