One Point that bothers me is, that Slash cares about humans.
He doesnt care about Raphs Brothers and wanted to get rid of them, but not humans?

The humans never did anything to him, but Slash did remember all the times (before being mutated) when Raph complained about his brothers, how they didn't understand, how they were holding him back, how they didn't take things seriously, etc. Spike even "smiled" a little before mutation when Raph smacked one of his brothers.

So all those impressions manifested themselves in Slash after mutation. Slash probably felt he was doing the "right thing". Giving Raph his freedom, becoming a partner, friend and teammate Raph would have always wanted. Combined with Slash having a more violent nature it quickly escalated in him wanted to take Raph's brothers out of the picture.


Like others posters above me said, Slash may not be evil, but he was definitely misguided and didn't really have a moral compass which could guide him. And even in this episode he was about to smash Donatello with his weapon.
