The show's theme song states that Raphael is "cool, but rude" (he takes a slice of pizza with his sai and shoves the rest of it onto the screen), as opposed to being angry and sullen as in other versions. Raphael is the Turtle best known for his sarcastic mouth a somewhat cynical sense of humor and hair-trigger temper. He supplies comic relief alongside Michelangelo, whose humor is usually attributed to his ignorance and spaciness.
