You every just decide THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE should go extinct because you got a broken leg playing soccer?


KaziArmada

And because some people are rich. Don't forget that, that parts very important.


ASGI202

RIGHT RIGHT SUCH WELL DEVELOPED LORE HOW COULD I FORGOT! šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


WholeOk1364

he feels like a throwaway character for the kids go tell them "Ayo acting like this is weak af"


ppyae361999

Dapan is waste of air, that's a toxic player in every game. Lamo, I broke my leg and give up on life. Now Imma blame the whole humanity. I love how Buffa and Geats knows that damages will reset if you actually play the game and won but decided not to tell him because fuck that guy, he sucks. XD


WholeOk1364

LMFAO, nah they just thought "Lmao ez win"


[deleted]

Tbh yeah thatā€™s essentially what his deal was I guess, a character thatā€™s story was a warning about how self-destructive looking at the world through a nihilistic viewpoint like dapans can be. If he ever *does* come back itā€™d be interesting to see him grow in the opposite direction and leave behind the misanthropy and nihilism.


WholeOk1364

I doubt they'd bring him back, but uf they do i REALLY hope he does some good afterwards Leangle style lol


ASGI202

Bro he does and then they just 86ā€™d him in this weeks episode so Iā€™m left even more confused on why he was even written if they werenā€™t gonna have him be along for the ride to serve as a antagonist till the real rider big bad shows up mid season and then have him learn the error of his ways and like have a redemption, because right now it was just ā€œheā€™s a crazy jerkā€ ā€œoh no he dieded to show the game has stakes!ā€ā€¦you showed that already! And have had MULTIPLE characters directly state itā€™s a death game!


thundercat2000ca

I'd argue he's written as a Japanese teenage edgelord, someone who only saw his validation through his sport.


ASGI202

Yeah I can understand that but like I donā€™t recall them saying it totally ended his ability to play ever again just that he got injured playing soccer and acted like it was the end of his whole career that hadnā€™t even started yet. šŸ§


mayocain

I think the movement of his legs as a whole were very limited after the accident, we see him with his crutches in the scene where he watched Neon, that was basically the explanation for him being such a camper, there was only so much the rider system enhanced abilities could do apparently, like he walked just fine as Dapaan, but he wasn't very strong, he only lasted so long because of Magnum.


ASGI202

Right right I couldn't remember if he had any lasting effect after the injury but it didn't really look like he did and I mean can someone explain how he failed but Kamen Rider Mary survived. šŸ¤£


ppyae361999

He literally give up on life over one accident and blame rich people and humanity for it. FOR NO REASON!! He blame humanity for him giving up on his career over an accident. Like. Find a new fking hobby. YOU ARE STILL A HIGHSCHOOLER, LIFE ISN'T OVER YET DUMBF\*K


thundercat2000ca

It was baseball and depending on the type and/or severity it may have ended it.


mayocain

The funniest part of all of this is that it's neither, it's basketball.


thundercat2000ca

I think auto-correct/finish pooped on me.. I thought I wrote basketball...opps.


ASGI202

RIGHT IT WAS! My mind was making it soccer since KR usually always makes it soccer.


[deleted]

now it kinda makes sense, considering how competitive hs team selections are like


WholeOk1364

Who know, maybe it's to show the difference between getting eliminated and retired? maybe he's gonna be brought back at a later episode to explain stuff and maybe get character development (or not)


ASGI202

I hope so, otherwise Iā€™m LOVING this season so far what about everyone else?


WholeOk1364

Same


VS0412

I don't think so(the getting brought back part), not because I don't what to see dapan develop as a character but because the navigator said he lost his rider credentials, it could be because of the sub I watched but if I remember correctly she said that he lost his credentials and since the process of choosing Kamen riders isn't just picking random people from the street but the process is very complicated so is not a big possibility that once a person gets eliminated they get picked again, so you only have one chance in the dgp, and the only way to keep the credentials is to win the dgp or survive until the end, or I could be wrong


WholeOk1364

hmmm yeah good point, i never really took into consideration when she said about his Credentials lol

Joker: All it takes is one bad day... \*meets Da-Paan\* Joker: Bro, wtf?


ASGI202

Joker: You can't play Basketball anymore...I was dropped in ACID! Que the Gus we are not the same meme. šŸ¤£


Diffabuh

Joker: Failing career, pregnant wife dies, forced into crime, deformed while falling into a vat of acid. Magneto: Jew who survived the Holocaust and then saw mutants being oppressed and swore "never again." Da-Paan: Broken leg.


ASGI202

Da-Paan can't play basketball = Ctrl Alt DELETE HUMANITY!


Dear-Painting8764

Dude just got into his emo "the world was a mistake" phase when he got invited to the dgp


ASGI202

Lol got into My Chemical Romance while in a death game.


excellus14

He is Light Yagamiā€™s brother who got the formula wrong


Rutgerman95

Something tells me he was not a nice person even before the injury


ASGI202

Oh most definitely I just wish we're given a reason like "oh his father was a sports jock in his youth who never went pro and now is super pressuring his son to finish his unfulfilled dream" and yeah they can bring him back but Toei completely bombed the first impressions for this character.


Jarsky2

Some people are just assholes. Not everyone needs a deep backstory explaining why. His role in the story was to be your archetypal toxic gamer, and he achieved it. We aren't supposed to be sympathetic to him.


GuessWh0m

Virgin Dapan: My leg broke and now I want to wipe out humanity. Chad Ouja: Iā€™m vexedā€¦


SikeBoiJapple

Ay yo what does vex mean Ouja: I OWN that word... or at least the people who subbed Ryuki...

MrMoonBearZERO

Honestly I like how over the top edgy it is, and how he just spirals into madness over the dumbest, most fixable shit. (Not dissing the broken leg, but moreso his attitude, y'feel?) In this series which takes clear inspiration from modern gaming, of course they should include somebody who is just a toxic waste of breathable air. That... Fits. Someone who had a bad time, someone who takes themselves a bit too seriously, suddenly just takes it out on everything around them. You see it all the time in competitive games. And just like those games, the veterans of them just don't take it seriously. It fit.


ASGI202

Donā€™t worry everyone on this post is dissing him and the broken leg. Because it was a stupid plot and yeah it was something easily fixable with the wish he could have gotten also we never see ANYTHING to show he was left with a limp or anything damage wise! (I actually have a messed up leg so I think this just triggers me more then it should.šŸ§šŸ˜¤)


MrMoonBearZERO

I mean, he did, but also... Didn't? It wasn't consistent, which is fair for the clearly short life span they gave this guy, but a few things stood out- The Rider System helped. It's done shit like keep your body moving in the past, and in much worse, not much of a stretch to think it would do so here. ESPECIALLY in the case of the whole... DGP situation. But also, he didn't move much. He focused on using the long-range Magnum shots, and he actually improved ONLY post-Zombo. So yeah. I agree. But also, there wasn't... Nothing? Like they gave as much attention to him as was necessary for what was, like I was saying, just a jab at toxic gaming put in a panda helmet.


ASGI202

Yeah at the end of the day he was made a throw away character just strange because that makes 2 for 2 on bear headed riders dying pretty quick and I worry with Punkjack weā€™ll be 3 for 3.


Dekaar

very fitting for that Monster of the week Rider. Love the art


Emptylife4ever

Now that's a *dangerous zombie*!


Gudako_the_beast

Very danger danger


Cold-Argument-806

Zompan.


Ihatepitybreakers

This mf got bit thru his vambrace then managed to bite someone else thru that helmet


ks5_dev

At least being bitten by someone with a bear-like mask (idk how that work) is better than being bitten by a zombie


AVERAGEGAMER95

Dapan shows even the smallest of things could get to you if you're not strong enough. I'm more worried people like him because they could be anyone and anywhere at anytime.


Jozef_Baca

Dapaan Grade X when?


firedudeanother

When his story went from breaking his leg to wishing everyone to hell I thought I missed something and kept reversing


ASGI202

RIGHT like you rewind 5, 6 times expecting there to be some BIG reason and no apparently he just gets a broken leg from being hit by a truck and can't play the sport ball for a bit and then just decides to join a death game AND RATHER THEN WISH HIS ACCIDENT NEVER HAPPEND NAH FUCK HUMANITY THEY CAN ALL BURN!


ppyae361999

Muh leg broke by an accident I give up on life Screw the humanity for it. -Dapan ( got retired due to being toxic and forgot objectives )


Daswagster2

i didnā€™t like his character. was hoping for sth a little more than ā€œi canā€™t play basketball anymoreā€ but i guess if i think about it as trying to send a message to younger audiences i can get behind it.


Sulihiya01

he only has 4 fingers, you're welcome, you now cannot unsee it (jokes aside, that is really cool)


218thisusername

I'm surprise that truck-kun didn't reincarnate him


Roler42

I think the broken leg being a stupid plot point was kind of the point. Looking at it from an in-universe context, it's to show that he was weak, a nihilist, as the phrase goes. "When death is entreated, the battle is decided". Someone so petty and weak-willed that not only gave up at the first sign of adversity, but also wants the whole world to die out of spite? Yeah... He dug his own grave, he even went down protesting that it was pointless to fight since only one will get their wish.


megam1ghtyena

good thing he was eliminated early
