Complete Breakdown of Din Djarin's Fighting Abilities 

Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting our channel. Here's their site if you wanna check them out: *Ridge.com/GENTECH*

"his beloved razor crest" well that didn't age well

I think the one thing that is appealing about the Mandalorian is that despite his training, instincts and equipment, he is still fundamentally human. Sure he was trained by one of the most militant-mandalorian-clans, but in every single fight its made clear that he does take hits, he does make mistakes. He is not the effortless fighter of some of the series most egregious mary/marty-sues, but we do see an arc where he does make mistakes, learns from them and overcomes the challenges. Yeah sure, Mandalorian attracted us because of its cool gear and equipment - but we stayed because we get to see a character-story where an individual evolves and adapts to the environment - not a pre-packaged super-force-using-mechanic-genius.

Now hold on here, like the mechanic lady said, he’s smarter than he looks. We’ve seen him plan ahead for betrayals or take split second action that actually leads to complex plans. He doesn’t just rush the prison droids, he lets them think they have him pinned and outflanks them. He doesn’t just rush in against the other bounty hunters on that prison job, he straight up hunts them like predator, in the dark and/or from the rafters. He uses the flash grenade as a diversion to be able to flank enemies not once but twice. He uses his own ships coolant system to make a cloud so he could get his shots on greef karga. Like he might rush in often but he’s definitely not JUST a bullrusher

What sets Din apart from mandos like Bo Katan is that he is a Hunter rather than a Warrior Edit: after much more consideration, I'd amend this to say Din Djarin is more like a warrior of old and Bo Katan is like a soldier. Soldiers have roots in warrior culture but an actual tribal warrior typically does not fight in the same places against the same foes as a soldier. Not to mention the dynamic of individual vs team.

0:08 "dinjerin" I am convinced that this man makes an effort to mispronounce every single name in Star Wars

WHAT?!?! You are just gonna call it a knife? I think his vibro blade is one of his coolest weapons. It's so deadly, because it vibrates a lot and causes massive damage to droids and aliens alike.

He’s the Batman of Star Wars He relies on strategy and gadgets and skill rather than pure strength. Has several ptsd flashbacks. His parents were killed

He's beefing on the Razor Crest, but Din is fundamentally poor, like, he's a bounty hunter to provide for his covert and probably uses the fewest credits on himself as possible. The razor crest is kinda endearing like a beat up van you bought in college

"Has a flame thrower that draws fuel from his jet pack." I don't know, he used both flame throwers long before he got a jet pack.

Random Thug: Hey this guy is wearing a helmet made of the strongest material in the known galaxy, Imma punch it.

Generation tech: his helmet probably provides low visability. um excuse me have u not seen the shots from inside the helmet its basically an iron man helmet

You forgot one of his abilities, he makes anything cinematic af

0:05 “My name is...What’s my name again?”

One thing I really like about this show's depiction of Din Djarin's fighting technique is he actually fights like he is wearing armor. In Star Wars we are used to seeing fighters like jedi who use agility to dodge or deflect attacks like a fencer or duelist. Din on the other hand fights like an armored knight, gauging which blows he can afford let through so that he doesn't have to waste time blocking them and can instead set up his next strike. This is the big difference in real life between armored and unarmored fighting, and I was really pleased to see the show's depiction of hand-to-hand fighting acknowledge this rather than make Din fight as if he weren't wearing armor.

“I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are part of my religion.”

Beskar is amazing armour. But do you know what is the most invincible armour of all? Rey's plot armour.

Honestly him falling 20 meters (65 feet) off the top of a Jawa Sandcrawler as dead weight, landing on his back, getting back up and immediately making the walk to the Razor Crest before returning to Kuiil's farm by foot is his most impressive feat to me.

“Hopefully he can upgrade his ship”... Well, THAT aged well!

Allen: He's (Din Djarin's) pretty much impossible to defeat. Thumbnail: Mando electrocuted by 1 foot brown-black scrappers Me: *Ironic*

A mando's loadout MUST be insane. Look at their opposition xD

Why you say “Din Djarin” like that

Din Djarin: "This is the way." Mandalorian: "This is the way."

I wouldn't call him a " rather weak individual" he's definitely an above average physically capable fighter, although he doesn't have much grace.

I think I read somewhere that the Mandalorian unarmed combat style was called 'Mandalorian Core', being sort of like Combatives or Krav Maga...something like that. Wouldn't mind a video on the martial arts of the Star Wars universe...

I think compared to other mando's like Bo Katan, he's weaker, not literally strength but his skills and all. However, he sure is one hell of a resourceful and smart thinking fella. His on the fly tactics are fun to watch and how quickly he adapts is just enjoyable. He may not be the most skilled but oh god, he's creative.

There were two episodes [ep. 1 & 6] where he demonstrated how he could sneak up on someone like a ninja.

That pistol he’s got is like a space .44 magnum. Slow firing and heavier bolt but damn it’ll put you on your ass.

I can appreciate that Mando isn’t the typical cliched “mowes through 10 enemies like theyre nothing and never gets hit” superhero trope. I like how he has weaknesses and isn’t OP. It’s realistic. At the same time HES A FRIGGIN MANDALORIAN! I’ve seen him take hits that he definitely shouldn’t have taken and im just like “how did he not block THAT?!

Din follows the new canon line of "Badass but average." The new canon has making characters that are badass but in their own order their normal. Cal, Kanan, and Din are badasses but compare to others of their type and their movie counterparts their nothing special.

is it just me or does anyone else want to see more about his training as a kid? Also, when do they get their helmets? When they finish training or what?

Having made and worn helmets based on Din's, I can say that your field of view isn't actually as restricted as you would think. That horizontal slit is long enough that it doesn't affect your peripheral vision hardly at all, and the central vertical part means you can see in front of you pretty easily. Looking down and to the side can be hard, but only if you have a helmet that doesn't fit. Worn properly, your eyes should be aligned with that horizontal slit, which is wide enough that your field of view is practically unaffected. Rant over

to be fair in the times he does run into battle head first he has his reasons for it be that time constraints, but in the prison heist mission he single handily takes each of the team out one by one proving how skilled he is in taking time and planning for an encounter

Din is one of the most resourceful Mandalorians I've had the joy of watching. His armor is amazing, like you said, dude is a frickin tank. I'm already sold on his ability, i think he could best Jango and Baba in a one-on-one, he held his own against Ahsoka in Chapter 13, i watched that scene like 5 times in a row! great content guys, keep it up!

I felt like the depiction they were going for in the show is really trying to show that he isn't a Jedi or Sith, or any kind of force user at all. In a galaxy of literal space wizards, Mando is just human, but also a human with a technological advantage. He's clever, but not always. He's talented, but not impossibly so. He's concerned that certain feats are impossible, but sometimes he bravely attempts them despite his fear. He doesn't seek them out intentionally but desperate situations lead him to attempt more desperate actions, often only saved by his technological advantage. When he charges into a fight, it's because he knows it's his last option. He's decisive and acts without hesitation, a hallmark of a fighter who relies on honed survival instinct, and not one relying what is basically magic to enhance their perception and/or reactions. This is in comparison to a Jedi, whose calmness and confidence in their abilities see them act diplomatic and nonviolent until the very last moment. Also Sith, guided by their emotions, often blindly attack first regardless of their foe, and are more often caught unready or unprepared for unanticipated developments, relying solely on passion and power. (Of course that mold fits less for the conniving type Sith, but even then that kind of mentality is what defines them.) Like others have said, I don't think he's just charging on all the time, but occasionally when he has no other option he does take the most direct and decisive route. A real do or die mentality when the chips are down, but that to me speaks thematically to what and who he is, a Mandalorian. Mandalorians are great warriors and renowned bounty hunters, and Din displays those qualities, but their other most defining aspect as part of the Star Wars universe is that they are NOT force users. I think the writers/choreographers are trying to convey that fact through the action sequences.

What Din Djarin lacks in strength and strategy he makes up in intelligence and skill. Not to mention hes exceptional pilot.

Kentucky Rifle was a nice reference.

I wonder how many broken ribs he's gotten from the pure impact power of some of the laser bolts to his armor

He’s a quick thinker, and able to make decisions that can turn the tide of a fight in seconds. I don’t think he’s as doing something like leading all of mandalore, but he has been shown to be able to rally forces to take down enemies. For example, in season one when he and Cara trained that village to take on bandits and that giant machine thing. Or in season two, when he helped bring the tusken raiders and people of mas pelgo together to take on the Krayt dragon. He’s more in his element when fighting than leading, which makes me wonder what will happen with the dark saber

If somewhere down the line mandi relaxes his standards about always wearing his armor, I'd love to see him get captured and fight his way out of captivity without his armor (obviously he'd grab his armor on the way out) but it'd be interesting to see him adapt or even abandon his usual tactics to account for no armor.

Error. You said that he uses his flamethrower and draws fuel from his jet pack but how he used his flamethrower before he had the jet pack.

Imagine if boba ends up with him and they become a team, and use bobas ship instead of the razor crest

Alan: On with the video. RU-vid: Nah, let's stick an unskippable add right here.

The Razorcrest deserves more credit. Being that it's old it also tends to fly under the radar... literally since it's missing some of the systems that other ships have for tracking it, making it grate as long as he's not being pulled over. For all it's size it's pretty maneuverable, maybe that says more for his piloting skill, but having a ship that can take everything it's been through and still be easy enough to fix when it takes damage is also a plus.

I will erase the sequel trilogy and bring back all legends

Bro Dins stealthy as shit too, when he was on that republic prison ship he managed to sneak up and get the drop on those mercenaries that betrayed him, may as well call him Din Fisher

Din Djarin: "I will protect my child at all cost" *Meanwhile* Baby Yoda: *Uses Djarin's credit card to create an account on PorgHub*

SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Who is here after Mando defeated Moff Gideon in the finale?

He's literally a walking Swiss army knife

"Beloved Razor Crest" Me, two weeks later: "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!!!!!!"

He's pretty powerful but I like the fact he's not overpowered and invincible

3:15 well yes armor are passed down generations to generations, but not literally give ur kids the same damaged armor u wore Sabine said it in Rebels, old inherited armors are smelted down and reforged into new ones for the young so itll be as durable as new

Slightly more stronger than a normal human, I mean he is not born in Mandalore but his physique is much more stronger than a normal human he can carry heavy stuff and travel miles and miles. And Beskar are heavy means that he is literally carrying a full plate 13th century heavy plate armor and never takes off if necessary like in the disguise ep. Maybe under that shiny armor is a muscular beast.

Honestly, I hope he gets some training from Boba Fett or Bo Katan to really enhance his martial arts or weapons skills.

Compared to the average bounty hunter or thug, Din is pretty good, but against warriors from like say the Clone Wars...he'd get his ass wrecked.

Am i the only one that wants Din Jarin to get a new, better ship? It has iconic features but seeing a mando come out of it is the equivalent of seeing bill gates come out of a 1996 Ford Taurus

I can't believe that you, Allen, the most thorough of the thorough, didn't bring up the fact that Din's knife is a **vibroknife**, far superior to the standard steel dagger. After all, he killed a mudhorn with it. Seriously, these are wicked weapons that I was thrilled to finally see in live action.

He is getting more reckless after getting them Beskar armour. Taking shots directly.

Obviously filmed before episode 4 of season 2 where we see the might of the Razor Crest against the Tie fighters. Not bad for and old beat up unmanoeuverable and slow ship!

Mando uses clever tactics. What are you talking about?

The children of the watch's tradition of martial arts seems based on maneuver, equipment and quick thinking. Specifically the back street brawler's focus on savagery and surprise over MMA's focus on leverage and positioning. If Djin meets Thrawn he will have his but handed to him. Edit: a good real world example of the ancient Mandalorian would be ancient Germany. I would think their evolution matches pretty well. And the Neo crusaders would be Germany under Fredrik the Great.

Normally your videos are great but I had a lot of issues with this one. First of all, it isn’t even confirmed that he draws fuel for the flamethrower from his jet pack, and he used the flamethrower multiple times before even having the jet pack so how would that work? Like I’m assuming you guys watched the show, but if you watched the show you would probably remember that he didn’t get his jet pack for a while. Second of all, you completely just glaze over his vibro blade. That’s a lot more than just a knife, and again it’s literally talked about in the show. You obviously did research, you went into detail about his other weapons, did you just miss that completely? Also you act like he doesn’t use any logic at all when he fights when he’s actually really crafty and smart and there are so many examples of this. When the other bounty hunters trap him in the cell he escapes and then literally stalks and takes them out one by one like a ninja. In that same episode he flanks around that group of droids and comes in from behind and takes them off guard. He literally uses steam from inside his ship as a makeshift smoke bomb and got greef karga from the side before he even knew what hit him. He uses the grappling hook so creatively and effectively too. You’ll see him pull people into closing doors, sweep people off their feet, smash droids together with it, all kinds of crazy stuff. He uses a lot of strategy when he fights, yeah he does rush people a lot but sometimes when you have a short distance to cover and you’re wearing almost impenetrable armor the best option is to just rush straight at the enemy and tank all the hits and take them out at close range.

He thinks on the fly and adapts to every situation and battle with his variety of weapons and equipment and he scrapes by. But I like that, it shows he’s not invincible like some 😉and that shows his humanity. My favourite Star Wars character for sure.

I quibble a bit with the description of Din's tactics. While he is very aggressive generally, I've noticed he likes to come from unexpected angles and wrong-foot his enemies when he can. For example, when he goes to rescue baby Yoda he actually sets up a pretty clever breaching situation by luring the Storm Troopers out of the front entrance, then blowing a hole in a side wall and entering that way. He then proceeds to ambush the troops sent to investigate, and makes a lot of good use of darkness. He pulls a similar maneuver against the criminals in the episode on the prison ship. So while I'd say Din is very much an ATTACK! kind of guy and makes a fair number of mistakes, he still uses his head when he's in a fight. I wonder if this ties into Mandalorian culture in some way, maybe their traditional fighting style is based on always trying to seize the initiative and attack opponents as aggressively as possible.

Din Djarin is also.mostly effective against human size opponents. Large Animals aren't really his forté unless he has a sizeable support force and time to prepare (Krayt Dragon)

Dinn's flamethrower does /not/ draw fuel from his jetpack. He spent all of season 1 without a jetpack entirely, it has it's own fuel reserve.

One thing that make him dangerous, he thinking fast as a precise

What other ship would you recommend for someone like the Mandalorian and his type of work? He needed the storage space of the Razor Crest for bounties, so wouldn't something more maneuverable cut down on his room?

Hey Generation Tech, how powerful does a force push need to be to kill someone instantly like in the battlefront games (EA)?

I am sometimes wondering if you write your videos by memory. They are cool and all, love your content but it's Whistling birds, Whistling sparrows.

Well, he needs a new ship now. Happy? :)

He outflew and outfought three TIE fighters. (Yes, he did cause Baby Yoda to throw up but sometimes there’s collateral damage. 😄)

Din Djarin is a favorite of mine, so much that I’ve published a fanfic with a massive AU premise that has him fighting as a commando for the Empire.

Lmao “din djarians fighting skills” then you got the thumbnail, 😂 doin him dirty

I've wondered several times if you intentionally mispronounce names lol. The show pronounces it for you and you still get it wrong lol. Is it intentional?

*spoilers* "he should upgrade the ship"..... the ship gets blown up 😂

i think saying that he rushes head first in is fair enough but i feel you you undersold his quick thinking, Din has been shown many times to know the limits of his armor and use it to his advantage, headbutting punches to ruin peoples hands or using many of his tools in many ways to deal with opponents, he even uses his environment to fight like when he was fighting the hulking figure of mister cra- i mean Clancy Brown devaronian (can't remember their name) he used the doors to knock them out after a fight that didn't go that well for him in hand to hand so he switched it up to win, even that hallways part with all the storm troopers, they were blasting down the hallways so there wasn't really any other way down, so much like a medieval knight he trusted his armor and took more than a few hits to make an opening so they could go on. he uses flanking tactics (like in the prison when he runs up behind the droids while the rest of the group is distracting them) and is very good at thinking on the spot, seeing opening and things he can use as weapons, such as the gun in the first episode that he used to just destroy everyone. Sometimes he is a little hotheaded and should really think things through a bit more (like with the jawas) but he really is a smart fighter that knows his own limits and knows when to switch things up

When you have Beskar armor you no longer need plot armor

He clearly needs to learn how use a spear as a *spear*, and maybe find Ahsoka again to get some tips on how to not cut his face off wielding the darksaber.

What took u soooooo long to say your name? 😂 Lol

Theory: the Mandalorian is set in a video game

i think you are wrong about the Razor crest, while it is lacking weapons its well armoured and really manouverable it won a dogfight against 3 Tie fighter, i just think it was to damaged every time we saw it

I think my favorite scene in season 1 was mando fighting the deathtrooper in hand to hand combat, it shows that he is actually pretty skilled as death troopers are basically the best of the best with a few augmentations aswell

I think he sweet. Too bad his ship get blown up. You also forget his spear that he has with the same medal of his armor. That's a close quarter weapon

You had me at “Kentucky rifle”

Did you watch the show? How cant you pronounce his name or beskar? Is this a meme?

That's awesome, can't wait to see those skills tested against the Dark Troopers.

Viewer 1: Mando sure gets his ass kicked a lot.. Viewer 2: Yeah but he has a disruptor rifle & near impenetrable armor so he wins in the long run.. Mando: A fight isn’t decided by who’s the first to go down, but who’s the last one standing or is able to get back up.. >;)

And now we know he’s skilled at hand to hand combat and spear fighting wich is awesome do you think he’s good at fighting with a sword I surely hope so

Hes quite bad ass but lately hes kinda being shadowed by other characters, Hes a motherfucking mandalorian, i hope hes futur fights will clearly show that, Like the republic droid fight or better.

Hi Generation Tech please do a 10 flaws on the C-9979 droid carrier thingy. Seriously what is it classified as?

Meanwhile, in the most recent episode, Mando just absolutely caused havoc on the Juggernaut with those pirates with mainly hand to hand combat.

Lets be honest gis armor saved his life countless times without it he would die

Its din JAR-IN not Jerin. Just saying :/

I like the ship. It just needs a major overhaul and few upgrades.

Hearing you mispronounce names that are SAID CORRECTLY IN THE SHOW makes me wanna walk barefoot across a river on mustafar.

I feel mando really loves his flamethrower

He's tougher than an Ewok and weaker than a Jedi.

Given the events of Chapter 12, you should do a video about the Dark Trooper Project

I see Allen doesn't read comments or has chosen to be stubborn: still meshing the Mandalorian's two names in cringe-worthy fashion. Din JAR-in. You have the wrong em-FA-sis on the right syl-A-bulls.
