But other than that, he's pretty annoying and ruins the plot of every season he's on. My favorite character IS Dareth. I feel Dareth is a strong example of what I call a "punching bag character", a character where the writers of a show write one character to be way more stupid or weak than anyone else. (how the heck can Harumi defeat him while SHE WAS TIED UP? It's really beneath the writers to write that in) He’s is way more stupid and weak because he IS more stupid and weak. He’s overweight, has no actual training, and the joke character of the series. I feel like he was more of an example of a "regular" martial artist in the beginning. He knew some animal fighting styles, but it was no match compared to the ancient art of Spinjitzu. I'm sure if Spinjitzu existed in real life, it would make karate or kung fu look childish and weak. (I know his trophies were "fake", but I think he was legitimately supposed to represent a regular guy in martial arts, despite the stated fact) Pretty sure he A. made those Animal Fighting Styles up and B. was/is a wannabe Ninja/martial artist. Hutchins was probably a better fighter than Dareth is.
