<p>Dick Suck is a meme referring to an annotation shown during the introduction to the character of Zapp Renfro within episode 2 of the anime, with one of the introductory annotations referring to him as a “dick suck”. Due to the humorous nature of the comment, the term grew in popularity among fans, and is often paired with fanart of the character.</p>

<p>In Episode 2, Zapp Renfro gets an introduction screen which captions 馬鹿 and バカ as "Dick Suck". At first, I thought this was a troll caption, but it appears in official releases such as the <a href="http://www.funimation.com/shows/blood-blockade-battlefront/videos/official/after-the-phantom-ghost-wagon" rel="noreferrer">Funimation! stream</a>. </p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/8ExU3.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/8ExU3.jpg" alt="Zapp Renfro"></a></p>

<p>Does anyone know why this was captioned this way? Possibly a reason/joke in the anime?</p>

By official releases do you mean just localized releases like Funimation or does that also appear in the Japanese version

Because it's funny.... Do you expect there to be a deeper reason?

In Episode 2, Zapp Renfro gets an introduction screen which captions 馬鹿 and バカ as "Dick Suck". At first, I thought this was a troll caption, but it appears in official releases such as the [Funimation! stream](http://www.funimation.com/shows/blood-blockade-battlefront/videos/official/after-the-phantom-ghost-wagon).

However, it's mostly a pun on *baka* as mentioned [on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/3296bu/spoilers_kekkai_sensen_episode_2_discussion/cq931ve):

As for the reason of its official translation being that as well, it seems to be for nothing more than humor purposes like senshin points out in the comments.
