Equipment:

Sai Blades:

Raphael's defining weapon is the Sai Blades he carries often shoved in his belt. He displays a more erratic form of Ninjitsu, and is often unpredictable, but rash, in battle.

Weapon Master:

Out of all of the turtles, Raphael is depicted the most often with other weapons. These vary from pikes to swords, and he still displays his brutality with each.
