I hate it when people call Raph 'Ralph'

[RaphAndDonnie]

Karai. I think she would try to expolit his anger issues, making it easier for her to win.

[Donatello19]

Karai is very sarcastic while being cool, confident and collected. Raphael is the complete opposite. I think Karai could take him take down by taking advantage of his anger issues.

[Stugehen]

I love Raphael! I really do. My favorite turtle....but in the Nick series...I gotta go with Karai. She just seems better disciplined.

[MCLeo28]

Raphael honestly. Karai to me has been lagging behind up until the Wrath of Tiger Claw. Raphael faired a lot better against the Chromedome as he was dodging hits while Karai was easily getting pushed back.

However, in Season 1, Karai was slightly superior as shown in Alien Agenda.

I agree I think karai was superior in season 1 but I'm sure in season 2 raph can take her just as long as he controls his anger

I'm 100% certain that Karai could defeat the imaginary 5th Turtle, Ralph with no problems at all. I hear he's from Brooklyn.

Okay, joking aside, my vote goes towards Karai. She's in better control of her emotions and always remain calm, cool, and collected (the prior episode being one of the exceptions given how distressed she was). Raph still has anger issues. As soon as he masters keeping them entirely under control and in check, not just partially or sometimes, then he'd have a chance against her....but as he is now, Karai would be the victor in this matchup, imo.

I'm surprised everyone is voting Karai! I don't know myself. But I want to see that fight.

Well, Karai knows how to pluck nerves. She did that with Leo after they first met. She knew what was bugging him, and used it against him. She'd struck a nerve.

I'm sure she could get under Raph's skin without any trouble at all because he's not fully in control of his emotions. That's his biggest weakness. He really doesn't like Karai and doesn't trust her. I could see Karai pointing out something or doing something to get on Raph's nerves so much, that he loses his focus while fighting and only try to fight aggressively as opposed to smartly and Karai ends up winning.

I think this is why people are truly seeing Karai as the winner in this set up.

[pennydreadful]

Agreed; Raph has a grudge against Karai. I can easily see her taunting him into losing his temper, and based on that, he wouldn't have the focus to defeat her. I love my boy, but I can't see him keeping his head together enough to kick her butt.

[ssjup81]

Well, I can think of a scenario where Raph could win the fight. Karai hurts Mikey so badly, that Raph goes into a blind rage and try to kill her...but that's more of a Mirage thing.... Yeah he does fight even more if Mikey's life is at stake, but not to a "blind rage" mode like in Mirage.

[pennydreadful]

He did do a pretty good job of whupping NickCasey's butt when he went into beserker mode - there is a chance that if he did fully rage-out he could just defeat Karai through brute force rather than by using any type of finesse. Karai's still pretty light on her feet though; he'd have to rely on stunning her otherwise she'd just turn his own strength against him.

Good point. If we're going to get into specifics....we should consider the area they're fighting in. I may swing on over the Raph side if they were fighting in close quarters. If Karai has room to run around though...she'd still take the cake.

[Leofan26]

Both are good fighters, smart when it comes down to it. However, like some said, Raph has anger issues and Karai already makes his blood boil. In a training session I could so see her using that as an advantage

^ Pretty much this.

[IndigoErth]

Sorry Raph, you're tough, but given her ability to spar pretty evenly with Leo who trains like heck... I gotta say she wins by skill.

Beyond that, if she ends up moving in with them, even just for a short time, I can't wait for the bickering between those two. lol

Could have been auto correct

[Candy Kappa]

Casey Jones...

Hells yes, it'd be hilarious. I want to see Raph arguing about Karai hogging the bathroom so much. Keeping up that two-tone hair of hers has gotta require some maintenance.
