Oh don't give me that, loud emotional...never letting you finish a sentence... "Well I know some guys.." QUIET! 😂😂

Man, I can't believe I avoided this show for so long. I'm rewatching again right after I finished lol

I wasn't expecting this series to be good. I'm happy to admit how wrong I was...this is FANTASTIC!!

Full marks for character development, choreography, and KZfaq for greenlighting this. Bravo.

"THIS isn't a knitting class, this is a Dojo." Love how Johnny says phrases he heard from Kress, when he was a kid.

Love the respect for Pat Morita in this episode! RIP Mr. Miyagi

I know no one will ever read this... that was a beautiful tribute to Pat Morita. His work as an actor was inspiring to so many. Knowing that the stories he told are still being echoed through time is encouraging and comforting. My hope is that one day through lessons like these we can all find "balance."

It still gets me every time Daniel visits Mr. Miyagi’s grave... that feeling of someone who’s been missing and it’s never been the same since they’ve been gone. We all have those kinds of people in our lives. And Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) will always be one of them when it comes to our heroes. Damn, I love this series. ❤️😭

“Back in my day, if you wanted to tease someone you did it to their face. There was honor. Respect.” PREACH IT, JOHNNY!!

I'm a 42 year old guy who grew up with these movies, and this is the first thing I've ever watched in my life that's been able to bring me to tears. Hell yeah, this show rocks!

I'm almost 40 and remember being OBSESSED with Karate Kid when it first came out. I wanted to be Daniel. This time round I'm loving the hell out of Johnny, but damn if I didn't get "something in my eye" when Larusso donned his classic headband to that sweet crane kick music...

I still love the flashback scene of Daniel remembering Mr Miyagi's words about balance. Well done.

I love the way Daniel's wife called him out for his pettiness and pointed out that he didn't even consider the other storeowners in his plan to take Johnny down.

1.) They did Pat Morita justice. I love the tribute to him. 2.) This whole good guy trains bad guy/bad guy trains good guy is awesome. 3.) The music at the end... chills.

I live in reseda and I have passed by the buildings that this was shot in! It’s really cool and I’m happy reseda finally has a bit of the spotlight!

I’m saying it now only Johnny Lawrence can say “back in my day”.

Johnny’s “QUIET!!” he yells towards his students is hilarious

"This isn't a knitting class, it's a dojo." "My student tells me you've been harassed." The throwbacks to the original are fantastic.

I get goosebumps when he puts on the headband and starts the kata. That was pure fan service at its finest

19:47 At this point, Larusso has crossed the line of being a good guy

The tribute to Pat Morita was so sweet. It was honestly so thoughtful and touched my heart 💕 R.I.P Noriyuki “Pat” Morita 1932-2005

Rest In Peace for our Sensei Mr Miyagi 🙏🏽

"Stop drinking the butter!"

Did anyone else almost shed a tear when he went to visit Mr. MIYAGI'S grave, brings back so many childhood memories 😢

Too funny! The yoga ladies are doing the pose called "The Cobra".

Johnny "All 4 of them?" Miguel "Yeah" Johnny "Even that BIG DUMB ONE?" lmao

The transformation of Miguel is epic. Johnny helped mold a warrior out of a geek

Johnny's son remind me of that "Shawn" kid from "boy meets world" series.

I was a skeptic when I heard about Cobra Kai. No More. This is a worthy followup to the original films. Whomever wrote this series GETS it. The Bill Conti music at the end of this episode sealed it all for me. This is the polar opposite of every paint by numbers sequel and reboot has been done the last ten years. This is the way it should be done.

TO THE WRITERS, PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS, MR MACCHIO AND MAR LARUSSO..........THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL KARATE KID. Seriously. I am so sick of the remakes, reboots, refreshes....that absolutely betray and cheapen the original version of whatever they are trying to rekindle. When news of this Karate Kid series came out I figured.....ok, something totally sacred and beautiful from my childhood is going to get perverted. BUT I SEE original characters, I see original music and score.....I see heart. PLEASE STAY LIKE THAT. I am so glad that this series doesn't "go in a new direction".......so seriously, thank you very much. Thank you for preserving the Karate Kid.

This series is better than the original karate kid movie. Totally character driven. I love it!

I’m really emotional watching this... Karate Kid was the movie of my childhood and I think you’re developing the story really well!

Johnny cured asthma and shot Miguel point blank with a baseball without rupturing his eardrum or even drawing blood. Johnny is a saint! He'll punch healing into you!

Daniel was my childhood hero and Johnny Is my adulthood hero!

“Never letting you finish a sentence” “Ik some boys lik-“ “QUIET!”

I saw this on my feed, not knowing what it was... eventually brought me to tears. I grew up with this in my youth, the planet all tuned to Mr. Miyagis teachings and respect for the bonzi tree. Chicago moved our souls and Larusso had a connection with the little E.T. era... now Mr. Miyagi rest is peace. A father figure to a generation of kids without parents (Me and my now deceased older brother) from a father without sons or daughters. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive, and much LOVE to your show.

When I saw the ad about this Cobra Kai Series, I thought it would be lame, but damn this is really good! They made such a good job! Cant stop watching it.

Surely someone else noticed that first stretch the yoga ladies were doing was Cobra Pose. Lol

If Cobra Kai's story is about Johnny Lawrence forging his own Cobra Kai with honor, then Cobra Kai is also about Daniel Larusso TRULY finding balance within himself and following in the footsteps of his late and great mentor, Mr. Miyagi. This serious is amazing.

Why did this motivate me in some way

"You're saying its genetic her love of twinkies comes from her dad" dead af

I'm really loving this show, it shows a total different perspective.

Loved the ending scene gave me goosebumps

"WTH Sam, we thought you were a poor person!!" Haha wtf

"WHAT THE HELL SAM!" "We thought you were a poor person!" hahahaha

I just cried like a baby! What the hell! I'm 47 and I grew up with these guys. When Daniel started training you guys gave me a wonderful moment that only my generation understands. Awesome show! Loving it!

Did anyone else get the feels at the gravesite

29:56 i can literally hear the chanting and ali screaming behind the music when daniel won the tournament. every time i watch this clip, it makes me happy. love this show! ♥️

I wasn't ready for the Miyagi scene at all. I was most certainly not ready for the end scene either. My childhood just snuck up and hugged me.

I was a kid when I saw the movie Karate Kid. Like Daniel, I was a young boy living with a single mom, I was a social outcast and was bullied. The movie shaped me. Now, I am 40 years old, and seeing Daniel and Johnny as middle-aged men, struggling with life, it is a strange experience to be able to connect the childhood memories so seamlessly with growing up and dealing with hardships, regret and maturity. Many thanks to Ralph Macchio, Billy Zabka and the team of Cobra Kai, for bringing us this gem of a series.

This is show is so much better than I ever thought it would be. Capturing the new dynamics of bullying, image, beauty, all this stuff. It's so damn good.

It was with this episode that I stopped rooting for Daniel. He’s so determined to shut down Johnny’s dojo that he’s willing to put the screws on every other business there just to drive out ONE (1) man. (I suppose all those other business owners were just collateral damage, then?) ...Still, on the other hand, I still sympathized with Daniel when it came to him missing Mr. Miyagi, because who doesn’t miss Mr. Miyagi?

Phone at 4%, can't stop watching!

Omg, it's like Johnny time-warped to 2018 straight from the 80's...bahaha awesome job writers & delivery "Johnny & Daniel"

The lunchroom fight is my favorite part of both seasons. The fight is not too graphic, but "the game changer" for Miguel. Zero to Hero in 60 seconds, wow!

Just started watching Cobra Kai. I can't hold back the tears. This is resonating with me on so many levels. ❤️😭❤️

The tribute to Pat Morita has me choked up way too much...amazing job.. I wish he was here too Daniel :( theyve taken the past thought of the karate kid and resparked it without losing any of the perfection and dignity as the first two movies..

So lemme get this straight...the owner of a successful FRANCHISE can't deal with a deadbeat dude being mildly successful at running a strip mall dojo, because of something that happened 35 years ago? Geez, Daniel-san. Some heel turn.

"They (women) have tiny, hollow bones."-Johnny Lawrence

15:56 this scene hurts me down to my soul. Seriously, like watching everything you find priceless is now worthless.

The last minute Bill Conti music is GOLD... We found in Daniel-San what we couldn't found in Luke Skywalker in his last aparence.... Pricesless!!

The writers did a fantastic job for this series. Loving this! And please tell me I’m not the only one who got sentimental at Mr. Miyagi’s grave.

This is by fat the best episode of this Season 1, That Scene with Daniel in the cemetery paying respect to Mr. Miyagi was so good, knowing that Mr. Miyagi and Daniel have both been together acting in the Karate Kid Movies is just out of this world! RIP Noriyuki "Pat" Morita!

That training session I felt that 😤

Is it weird that I got the chills when Daniel put on his uniform at the end? Epic!

I've waited 30 years for this, and it is better than I ever thought possible!

The cemetery scene “I am not crying, you are.”

The nostalgia in this episode was unbelievable Brought back so many memories

Ghostbusters (2016) take notes. THIS is how you do a clever throwback subject. I had MAJOR feels when they threw us back to that Karate Kid footage of young Ralph and Miyagi. RIP Pat.

I am not sure people are noticing but Ralph Macchio's karate moves are with perfect form. He was criticised for not really knowing karate, but he must have been trained as all his moves are spot on.

This is my favorite episode so far! Loving the character development and tributes to the original movies. Karate kid is my favorite movie!

Wow!!! They have done a great job with this series. It is a mind blowing experience. The fact that this episode is dedicated to Miyagi is deeply and truly inspiring. Miyagi would proud Larusso!!!

straight up ugly crying at the Mr. Miyagi scene

The scene where *Daniel* at the cemetery really hit the emotions.. and the flashback *Mr. Miyagi* talking to him about balance... WHEW!!! right in the feels!!!

Lmfao that was the best pep talk I’ve ever heard...

the amount of love that was put into this show is amazing

I love how I'm rooting for both Johnny AND Daniel, but they hate each other. Such an interesting dynamic!

This is amazing. 4 episodes in and I'm want to join Cobra Kai. What a difference 30 years makes.

Excellent series. I've had youtube premium for quite sometime now and always passed this up. Its awesome!

When he was in the car and i heard danielson, i about lost it. Tugs at you ... such a great series

Cobra Kai is so awesome that it can literally be considered a legitimate Karate Kid Part 5: Or the Karate Men all grown up 34 years later. Cobra Kai has been able to do what the sequels kind of were not able to fully pick up on. Overall though it just makes the whole legacy of all the Karate Kid movies a lot better with this fantastic series.

Did you notice on the board : "current students : Miguel" Hahaha

Love the way that kid went from listening to hip hop to 80s death metal.

This episode was beautiful. They have great writers. One moment you root for johnny another you root for danny. The nostalgia that it brings too.

literally the only reason I got youtube red subscription.

Very good homage to Pat Morita.

I first heard this series existed 2day, Sept 30 2020 & I'm 5 episodes in & cant stop watching! Dont know how many episodes were made but prolly gona be up all night til I'm caught up or thru with the entire series. I LOVE IT!!

Just binged on 5 episodes straight. Brought back some memories.

I love the way this episode ended with such a wonderful tribute to Pat Morita and how it is bringing Danielsan back to his roots in Miyagido Karate.

AHHHH nobody said there were gonna be feels!

I love the facial expressions of all the kids making a movie of the lunchroom fight! And yes, the lunchroom fight is literally a game changer of the series.

such a good show. glad I waited so long to try it and now I have more episodes to watch

My god, this show is like crack, I can't stop.

I am so loving this, The karate kid was one of my favorite movies of all time and still is. Karate Kid was the movie of my generation and inspired my martial arts training. Cobra Kai is brilliant and I am so happy that a future Johnny and Daniel continues....two thumbs up ..we need more shows like this in our society this day and age.

Thanks for premium

When I was a kid I went to every karate kid movie with Pat Morita in the theatre I was 12 when the first one came out, yes even the next karate kid. This was the biggest tear jerker of a ending to a episode of any show I have seen in a long time well done you tube.!!

Daniel and Johnny are both guys who, while flawed, are by and large good guys. I like that this show shows that while Daniel is at heart a good man, he still lets his anger get the better of him. It also shows that while Johnny clearly can be an abrasive jerk, he has a sensitive side to him. That said, assholes like Kyler and his gang have nothing good about them.

All things need balance. Thanos makes so much sense now.

At 24:30 I would've been like: is it washed? Guess I'm not cut out to do karate 😂

I don’t think most people realize this but that moment at 2:14 when he shot the pitching machine and said “what if it was your enemy’s friend coming from behind” is foreshadowing to the moment when he gets in that lunchtime brawl and turns around and it goes into slow mo
