Blanka And Dan Hibiki Are Bros
Blanka is close friends with Dan Hibiki, the result of being travel buddies during their various exploits. Dan is the joke character of the Street Fighter franchise; he is noticeably underpowered and possesses numerous unsafe moves. He also has unlimited taunts (including a level 3 “ultimate” taunt) and a foolish amount of confidence, given his skills.
Blanka seems to be aware of his buddy’s limitations, but is too polite to say so. He demurs on the question of whether or not Dan is a good fighter, and redirects to insist that Dan is a nice guy. Blanka values his friends for their camaraderie, not for what he can learn from them.
