Rappas reason to fight is always boredom or childhood trauma, he fights because as a child he was force to. Now whenever he wants to fight out of a random moment , it was a flashback of "not being good enough". Tengai knows this and tries to help by telling him fighting will mostly be a no. He tries to get rappa to focus on calming activities but he's too broken to lean anything else. Just an uncontrollably nice and scare hidden child.
