Don’t worry guys! I will make it on time to catch season 4 from December 31st! Every reaction video will be out by then

To appreciate that last scene, you have to remember that Tommy was the one who shouted 'Put him in a body bag!' during the original tournament.

FYI, I don't know if you realized the most powerful Easter egg in the last scene. Tommy was famous for his line "Get him a body bag!" and they ended it with putting him IN a body bag. Also, Rob Garrison (the actor who played Tommy) passed away in real life a few months after this season was released in 2019.

I believe the actor for Tommy was actually sick or his health was declining as he made the cameo in that episode. He also wanted to act for the third season. That scene really punches in the gut the more you know.

Martin Kove who plays Kreese really adds a lot to the show in season 2. He has a great presence and is an accomplished actor.

Any scene where Amanda, the Mother, comes in and tells Daniel and Johnny how ridiculous they're being is my favorite. She's the voice of reason in a show filled with emotional decision making.

fun fact: william zabka(johnny) actually trained under pat johnson(the choreographer in karate kid movie) after the movie ended for years, pat is the guy who worked with bruce lee and chuck norris and apparently william zabka was also planning to go down on the same path and actually starred in a movie with Bolo Yeung (enter the dragon) and michael bernardo a former martial artist champion and stuntmen, the 3 were the lead actors in the movie shootfighter:fight to the death (1993), but for some reason william didn’t continue his martial arts career after 90s.

As a car salesman I definitely agree with Daniel. Be honest, give them your full attention, and ask how you can EARN their business.

Besides knowing that it was Tommy who said "put him in a body bag" in the original movie helps you appreciate the scene, it also helps to know the actor Rob Garrison actually did have cancer & died shortly after the season was released.

Just so you know, the Medal of Honor is one of the highest medals you can get in the US military, it stands for someone who risked their own life to save others in the field, above the regular call to duty. So it is absolutely disgusting that they stole it from Mr Miyagi.

25:04 Demetri, a character so convincingly annoying that even the zen japanese karate instructor starts yelling at him! LOL This cracked me up."Shut up! Just do it!" LOL well done

Your reactions to Demetri were hilarious

Daniels patience with Dimitri surpasses that of the Buddha himself lol

This has been a great way to recap what has happened in the first 3 seasons before the 4th season comes out for me! Great Channel, Sensei, very helpful. Thank you.

Robby and Johnny’s strain relationship is a central part of the show. Abandonment is a universal emotion. In Japan where children are expected to respect their parents, no matter what how are the relationship viewed when a parent abandons their child like Robby’s parents.

Little did Cobra Kai know, that Myagi Do karate learns from doing chores…. So imagine how much stronger they’ll be after cleaning all that stuff lol this is literally one of my favorite stories all together of all time and I like what you add to it. Thanks 🙏

If you're confused by "shirts" vs "skins", it's terms we use when playng sports. If you're playing with friends, you don't have uniform colors to tell teams apart. So on half takes off their shirt (skins) and the other half keeps their shirts on (shirts). Demitri was making an awkward joke that it was okay for Sam to take her shirt off.

I've been enjoying this series so far. I love seeing your perspective on this show. Can't wait for more!

The actor that played Tommy he did actually die a few months after this season was aired.

Kreese was lying about his recent activities but he was a Vietnam vet. The idea that an actual vet would be fine with stealing a Medal of Honor shows just how far gone Kreese is.

I like to think Johnny’s initial insistence on rationalizing Kreese’s actions and lies is because he (consciously or unconsciously) ties his worthiness for redemption with his own.

the best thing is he translates whatever is written in japanese lol

he ended up in a body bag, poetic. this was a great way to honor tommy’s legacy. rip

What does it mean when someone rolls your yard with toilet paper? Toilet papering (also called TP-ing, house wrapping, yard rolling, or simply rolling) is the act of covering an object, such as a tree, house, or another structure with toilet paper. ... Toilet papering can be an initiation, a joke, a prank, or an act of revenge. For those of you who live in the city, a brief explanation is in order: tee-peeing is the practice of hurling rolls of toilet paper (hence the term tee-pee, as in T.P.) into the air in the dark of night and watching them unfurl on the limbs of the largest tree in someone's front lawn. What is the Native American word for Teepee? thipi Teepee, or tipi, comes from the Lakota word thipi, which in English means “a dwelling” or “they dwell”. Other names exist for homes or dwellings that represent different structures that were made for similar purposes for First Nations people. This is basically what using toilet paper for but it also has a Termanology towards T-Peeing which actually kind of plays a part with making fun of Native Americans which I happen to be Native American so I know the derogatory standpoint of what also T-peeing it was a mockery of the name of a Tepee basically talking about what is toilet paper used for and one of the terms for toilet paper is tee pee so it’s also a racist derogatory term towards Native American heritage and Native American culture there you go now you know the answer I only know about the races derogatory standpoint of this about a part of my heritage that I hold very very dear because when I was much younger I had much older older friends when I was a kid who actually lived back in the 1800s like 1889 and 1895 and they lived into the 80s and late 70s when I was roughly about 4 , 5 and 6 years old and they told me the stories about it so there you go.. there’s you a very rough example of where the term tepee I actually came from it’s a prank it’s a joke and modern day but it was also a racist derogatory things towards Native Americans about their hygiene about their living in teepees so yes are used to take a great deal of fence when people would go in that direction about the Termanology there you go by tee-pee it’s self and using toilet paper is actually pretty fun that’s the best way I can explain it

The scene between Kreese and Johnny is a well acted scene for sure it definitely blurs the lines between good and evil, but there’s definitely villains lol. As far as favorite scene that’s tough definitely some of the best are yet to come some real goosebump moments, what makes this show so good is that they keep upping the game as it goes it’s so well written keeps everyone wanting more!! Perfectly done all around 👏 and love to hear your point of view!

“You cannot earn katana sword by stealing. You must earn it. “ - Shidoshi Tanaka

While the core message of "second chances" is important and a powerfull moment for Johnny, knowing the future it was kindof a bad move to accept Kreese back in. The back thrust kick is a VERY good example of foreshadowing

I just wanted to let you know that I just recently subscribed to your channel because I enjoy what you bring to the table. But what I really noticed was your calm, caring ways, I know nothing about Japanese people I've never been around them I've never spoken to one but I want you to know that you represent them well. Keep on being a respectful human being. We are seeing less and less of that here in America.

Thank you for your channel. I'm happy you're watching Karate Kid. This is what inspired me to take up Shotokan & Tae Kwon Do. Can't wait for season 4!

The fans had to wait 30 years to see them all back, but I bet you they stayed in touch over the years in the show. We don't see it, but still.

I love seeing the reactions of this from the Japanese perspective. As I see the last scene from episode 6 I remember that the gentleman who played Tommy died in real life soon after that episode was filmed.

i think it is very important to discern who is a true enemy vs who is an obstacle/opponent because very few people are truly your enemy. daniel and johnny are not really enemies despite their insistence.

Glad to see your enjoying watching cobra kai. You made a comment about fishing from the beach well yes there are fish you can catch despite the shallow water. Depends on your method used. Favourite scenes well yes I agree with the 2 you mentioned however the scene with Daniel at Mr Miyagi grave is special & a very moving & emotional one. Now you have seen the episode the moment of truth the best scene for me takes place when Daniel challenges johnny at cobra kai. Great acting,such a compelling scene.

As a middle school counselor myself it's so fascinating watching cobra Kai. All of the kids at my school absolutely love the TV show and it's so cool being able to share something like this with them when I used to share karate kid with my father. I watched kung fu movies, martial arts movies and karate movies my entire childhood and now the children I work with are watching the same thing just in Netflix form. Watching it through a Japanese professional perspective is fascinating as well, thank you for your videos continue on fourth!

Tommy was also the one screaming "Put him in a body bag!" At the tournament from Karate Kid.

Yes it was the actors fighting in the mall scene. All of them had some level of actual martial arts training before they joined the show so they were all able to learn the fighting choreography pretty easily. It took weeks of practice, but it worked well.

Well the Japanese might be insanely humble but Im definitely thankful for anime, manga, Nintendo, and the beauty of their martial arts. Not to mention the delicious food. The list goes on, some of the best things in this world😅

54:05 Exactly, life is tough, but her words are somebody who has been defeated by life.

I am not going to lie, watching this scene where Tommy died, I cried. But at least he got a chance to do what he loved and hang out with his brothers (friends). I am glad you are covering these!

I took a screenshot of the large rock in the Myagi Dojo and used Google Translate. It says, “Yoshiizumi Taku is the father of rocks”. I couldn’t find anything about the reference but can guess that someone used Google Translate to generate the text for the rock 😁

3:29 When I worked in retail I always tried to help the customer, no matter what. If they were looking for something we didn't sell I'd tell them another store where they could get it. I was taught that a happy customer is a return customer and the business makes more money when the customers come back.

54:55 Haha this is how I feel with all the Japanese English in Japan 😅 There were actually a lot fun moments on my trip to Japan reading them, and after a while I actually appreciated it! I just couldn't help to comment on this since I guess It's the same issue just the other way around 😅💦 I felt that exact same feeling when reading the fun English in Japan (Why just not ask a English speaking person?) 🤣 I really love watching your reactions of Cobra Kai, best series I have seen in a while. I was very interested in karate in my childhood and Karate kid made that even more special, and had that sense of magic that Japanese culture has given me since I was a small child, and still does.

They should have you consult for the Japanese in the show.

you skipped my favorite scene, lol. It was the scene with the fisherman, where he talks to Daniel about life, and gives him advise just like the advise mr myagi used to give. That was a beautiful scene, sort of a way of keeping his spirit alive in. the saga.

My favorite was probably when Danny and Johnny took that drive together and discovered some common ground. Good stuff.

Yusuke Sensei! We need you in Cobra Kai. You'd bring something more to an already great series. ✊🏾👍🏾👌🏾

love watching your reaction. it a nie recap for season 4 and also it nice to have commentary from someone who practice Karate.

You are the best KZfaq personality, so down to earth and enjoy your content. You are wise beyond your years, much respect.

13:54 there’s actually a lot of fish that you can catch in the surf. Perch and halibut are most common off the coast of Southern California, where this was filmed.

Demetri is my favorite because he has more integrity and loyalty than any other character

One of the more recent trailers for S4 had a translation to the rock "Envy sees the garden without the rocks" Thanks for confirming the actual translation. lol

This is So Great and the Little Moments of Cormyness like they did in the 80's Makes it even BETTER!!!

I NEED MY COBRA KAI, YUSUKE!

Kreese: "You're all Cobra key for life." Also Kreese: "All of you get out. You're not Cobra Kai material."

Toilet Paper used in vandalism is referred to as "Rolling" someone's house or property. There are three main groupings of this class of vandalism that have been used interchangeably during the Halloween season in the States. Toilet paper is used because October is generally a rainy month, and if it rains after the "rolling" of a yard, the toilet paper is extremely hard to clean up. The other two forms of this annoying type of vandalism are plastic forking someone's yard (the forks break easily and leave sharp plastic bits in the yard even during cleanup) and styrofoam peanuting someone's yard or vehicle (the styrofoam peanuts break up and cling to things due to static cling and are notoriously hard to clean up as well). All of these are forms of vandalism that generally meet with no criminal charges because normally no actual damage is done to property or person, and as such they are generally thought of as childish pranks more than outright vandalism (such as spray paint).

I just noticed in the comic store when Hawk walks up you see his hair pop up like a shark fin above the shelf behind Demitri. Even the music makes it feel like Jaws

so glad i found you. i know nothing about Karate or Japan, but love the show, so its interesting to listen to the commentary.

Us, if we have strong friendships, we make sure we maintain them. Friends are super important to us in America. I loved seeing them all back together.

The thing about Miyagi vs Daniel, Miyagi DID have some moments of assertiveness in training. When he trained Daniel and Daniel tried to talk too much like Dimetri, Miyagi shouted at him like Johnny shouting QUIET!!

I love your take on this program. It's so much more thoughtful than a lot of other channels - the American ones. they're all really gung ho. it's like you provide the miyagi do response and all those American channels give the crazy alpha-male cobra kai critique. your videos are so much more watchable. the question 'what would miyagi think/say?' often comes up in the show and in other videos. I agree. I think bringing you in would be great.

No matter how many times I watch that last scene, I always get tears 😭 & goosebumps knowing that’s the last time they will all be together. R.I.P. Rob Garrison aka Tommy

Ron Thomas the guy who plays Bobby is an actual martial artists.

When Demetri is going on about the snake tattoo he ends with “probably east enough fix to correct the pupils” then creese looks at him that line is amazing double entendre. Demetri talking about the snake but Kreese thinks johnnys pupils (as in students) need fixing…

The part where they were lifting the rock together wasn't so much about karate technic as it was about teamwork and valuing each other. Daniel was trying to bring the two factions of kids together.

@52:00 I do agree with them in the ways of earning trophies. I wanted, and still want to do martial arts in order to learn the art form itself rather than do tournaments. That, and I'm a very introverted person so I just never really felt that need to compete to show if I'm good enough. - I'm sure tournaments had perks on honing your skills by going against another player, but they aren't important to me.

It's funny that Tommy yelled "Get him a body bag" in the first karate kid then the last time we see him, he's in a body bag

OH NO! I was hoping to see your reactions to the full season, It's ok. I love your content anyway. Thanks so much for your hard work!

Oh the toilet paper thing is called teepeeing(kinda named after Native style tents). It's a popular prank due to how cheap it is to get the "supplies", but also a real pain to clean up for the person who is being pranked(especially if it happens to rain that day).

The horizontal bared doors are "Push doors" they never lock from the side with the bar and always lock from the opposite side, they are used in emergency exits and are often required in buildings of certain sizes for fire safety.

William Zabka aka Johnny Lawrence is a Green belt in Tang-Soo-Do in real life.

Your reviews and insights are so great! I've been wondering about The Wheel Technique that Daniel is teaching Sam and Robby. My background is Muay Thai and BJJ, so I don't know much about karate. It seems like it's not a good idea for them to turn and face each other if they're simulating a fight? Would love to hear what you think and what would be more effective for them to do!

I’m not forcing you but if you lower the release date to every two days you will be able to react to season four on the day. Plus it means I won’t be bored 😭😭

You can use a beach-caster for beach fishing, I've caught a few Bass and plenty of Mackerel beach fishing.

Tarzana is a suburb of LA. Inthe San Fernando Valley that was named after the character Tarzan. The author who created him, Edgar Rice Burroughs is also buried there.

LES GO I LOVE REWATHING THESE WITH YOU!

I just want to say at 23:38 that what you say is true, I have therapy for my ADHD and anger and I get hung up on things and what she always tells me is to only focus on the things that I can change. If I can't change the situation then I shouldn't be wasting my energy or emotions into it. I just wanted to point out that if anyone else has things going on, this is a piece of advice that really does help

I really do enjoy your commentary really do you bring a lot to the Netflix program called cobra Kai which I enjoy karate kid when I was a kid I actually saw it in theaters so I was very very much just impressed with how you talk about karate from your standpoint Japanese culture just everything in general really enjoy watching when she put out keep up the good work

In another video, one of your viewers requested you react to The Best of The Best. I just thought I'd bring it up again. We want to see if you will cry or not 🤭 Best of the Best Best of the Best.

What I love about this show is that it shows you that the "villain" isn't always a bad person.

R.V. salesman here. I was a plumber but i am finding sucess in sales. Honesty,customer service, information and building their confidence in their own choice and sometimes being their friend is how you sell r.vs. Daniel is right!

I was a student of kyokushin years ago when I was in high school. Watching your videos lately have made me want to start again.

Tommy kk1 : get him in a body bag 34 years later : in a body bag

as far as Japanese food goes I like takoyaki,omurice,okonomiyaki was interesting, karage was different from fried chicken, the list goes on. I used to live in mitoshi- ibaraki(水戸市茨城県 I think these are the right characters) I miss living in japan.

I think Cobra Kai's aggressive offensive tactics like a lot of things in Cobra Kai are inspired by US Army tactics and the concept of "Violence of action" using suprise, speed and aggression to destroy the enemy before they have a chance to react to the situation. After all "Cobra Kai" in this show was formed in Vietnam by Green Berets using Korean martial arts as its base but war time military tactics as its spirit.

At 40:10 toilet paper is very difficult to remove and leaves pieces as you try to pull it down. It makes the prank longer lasting as it frustrates the person attempting to clean the mess. It also creates the most amount of disorder by just throwing a roll that unwinds in the wind around trees, without doing much work.

"The world shows no mercy, so why should we?". If you want to make a change you have to change yourself first.

Kreese's mind is wrapped up in war. He has severe PTSD and a mindset from a life of tragedy. In most of his life showing mercy to your enemy could mean death. He honestly thinks this is the best way to raise his students. It's the same style of training that the US Army infantry used up until recent years that they've toned down the brutality.

I...think it's a mistake to deduce there're no villains just because you understand someone's struggles and motivations. People are responsible for their actions, understandable or not. I don't think that evil in real life is like Skeletor cackling about the "power of evil," but people who make very wrong choices for very discernable, often perfectly understandable, reasons. If Miyagi-do is about reflection, peace, and rising above ourselves, then Kreese is someone who's ruled by his ego.

Episode six I think with one of my favorite episodes because the original cobras come back. And Bobby was always my favorite!

You ask about favorite scene....on seasons 1-2 my favorite scene is the final talk with Johnny and Tommy. It hits you in the feels

They have a white belt here because Johnny told everyone in the last episode(s) to start over at the white belt after they fought dirty in the tournament.

I hope producers of the show contacts you. I would love to see they fix all the small details with your help

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

I legit just binged all 3 seasons this past week. Now I just found this channel and have been binging this channel! Great content sensei!

The scene at the beach with the fisherman got me thinking... Everyone from his past starts returning into Daniel´s life and for a second there was this illusion of hope that Mr. Miyagi would, too...

Awesome reaction

It would have been hilarious if the characters on the rock translated to "One Heavy Rock" or something like that.

The guy that played tommy died shortly after this 🙏🏻🦅🙏🏻 Rest In Peace brother

As someone who's had 325 different Japanese beers, I can tell you there is probably a much bigger beer variety than you think. Especially with all the seasonal and limited time beers.

I love Japanese music anime music in this the calming music at the beginning of this episode is amazing
