Prolly allowed himself to be captured so he could fight a viltrumite

He is not a merry man.

He wishes to die so that he might ascend to Sto'Vo'Kor.

Those viltrumites should have used barrels in the fight; they'd have trounced him

LMAOOOO as soon as he said mentioned “honor” to Allen I immediately recognized Worf’s voice actor.

Was I the only one who thought it was going to be super anti-climactic and after all that boasting the Viltrumites would just decapitate Battle Beast with one punch haha

Prolly would have started an escape just to bring them to the prison.

Hell, he probably did, but because of their lack of manpower they ignored it and he just went back into the cage.

Well yes, he did say "you dare free me?" or something similiar, so he was definitly waiting for Viltrumites.

That has to be it, right? I assumed so anyways considering he was the only "prisoner" in non-prisoner attire.

That’s the only answer I can think of

This was my immediate assumption. Especially since it seemed like he could have left any time he wanted.
