‘Echo’: In How Many Episodes Is Daredevil?

All five episodes of ‘Echo’ have been released, and we are filled with impressions. Besides the show being action-packed and containing significant nods to the native community, it also marks a new era in Marvel Studios by bringing Netflix’s ‘Defenders’ saga to MCU canon and featuring some old faces, especially from the ‘Daredevil’ show. Kingpin plays a massive part in the show, and Daredevil makes his appearance as well. Let’s see how many episodes Daredevil has appeared in.

Daredevil doesn’t play a significant role in ‘Echo’

Daredevil’s presence in ‘Echo’ seems to have been a promotional tactic, aligning with earlier rumors that hinted at his limited role in the show. As anticipated, Daredevil only makes a fleeting appearance in a singular episode, titled ‘Chafa.’

This particular episode delves into Echo’s origin story, unfolding after Maya’s father’s demise and her subsequent estrangement from her native family. Left with seemingly no one but Kingpin, Maya becomes a recipient of his attention. Recognizing her innate ferocity, Kingpin takes it upon himself to train her into a formidable weapon akin to a loyal guard dog.

Under the tutelage of Kingpin’s best, Maya undergoes intense training, preparing her for the inevitable real-world mission. Accompanied by skeptical members of Kingpin’s entourage, Maya surprises everyone with her exceptional combat skills during the mission. She handles herself with remarkable prowess, eliminating an adversary by breaking his neck and spine with her bare hands.

The mission’s smooth trajectory takes an unexpected turn when ‘The Man Without Fear’ makes a dramatic entrance at the end of the fight.

What prompted Daredevil to confront Echo?

Daredevil and Echo clashed because Maya, along with Kingpin’s men, brutally massacred their enemies. Aware of Maya’s deep involvement with Kingpin, Daredevil saw her as a natural adversary. While Maya contributed to criminal activities, making the city worse for everyone, Daredevil, though not a pristine do-gooder, consistently aligned himself with the side of justice as much as possible.

Daredevil had been monitoring Kingpin’s target all night, intending to confront them in his own street-level approach. However, Maya and her men unexpectedly intervened, eliminating the targets in a violent manner. Witnessing this, Daredevil felt compelled to confront and challenge Maya and her associates.

Is Echo set to appear in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’?

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ has undergone substantial changes, with a new creative team taking charge after the executives expressed dissatisfaction with the initial episodes. While details about the upcoming show’s storyline remain scant, the confirmation of Kingpin’s appearance sparks speculation about Echo, suggesting potential mentions or flashback appearances. Given the reboot nature of the show compared to the original ‘Daredevil’ series, these are speculative insights. Share your thoughts in the comments below!
