Mikey & Raph - Stronger brotherhood bond than with the others?

*Shark_Blade* · 02-18-2013, 03:16 AM

In the Pulverizer episode, the part where Mikey helped out Raph is a very interesting one for me. When Raph was poisoned, Mikey came to his aid immediately, not caring about the bloody battle between Leo and Fishface. It was Mikey's sole priority that Raph was taken care of.

Back in New Girl In Town, it was Mikey who was knocked unconscious instead. Similarly, Raph didn't care about the dangerous battle between Don and Snakeweed; he was mainly focused only on Mikey.

Both Mikey and Raph were absolutely restless when the other went down. I reckon they were a bit selfish for not caring much about Leo/Don during those perilous time, but maybe they have more confidence in them on fending off the enemy? That's debatable.

Arguably, the bonds they have together is much stronger than compared with their other brothers; Leo and Don. I do appreciate that bond, though I do wonder how/why it happened. Does their flaws (one being hot tempered and the other ADHD) complimented each other? Why did Mikey and Raph care more of each other, more so than the others? Or am I just look to much into this?

Thoughts?

And no, this is not turtle-cest I'm talking about, let's get real here.
