Daniel-san’s power - attracting bullies


The poor guy just wants to get along with people - he’s decent, kind, funny, friendly and very humble, and he’s not even the typical weakling or social outcast easy-target, but for some reason gangs of psychotic bullies are attracted to him like flies on shit.

You’d think after being relentlessly victimised throughout the first film Daniel could catch a break half way across the globe, but literally as soon as he lands in Okinawa there’s a guy trying to crush his hand and threaten him, then every time Daniel is having a good time the guy reappears to taunt, shove and beat the shit out of him... and his new girlfriend. That’s right, now he’s even getting his friends attacked for associating with him.

Will Part III also be 2 hours of watching a puppy getting kicked? Or will Daniel have snapped and become a villain - unleashing a fury of vengeful karate onto a world that hates him. I’m intrigued to find out...

Spoiler alert:
You called it right for part 3. It's even more ridiculous though.
