You madman, you actually binged it for season 4. Love how emotionally attached you are to the series.

Hawk had been having doubts the whole season. When he broke Dimitri's arm, you could see on his face that he felt horrible about it. The final nail was his former bully treating him like a friend while the people who were there for him back then were getting pummeled.

Not only a karate master, but seeing the clear star wars parallels at the end…. Great reaction

Honestly Robby and Tory are the worst victims because they lost in life and have so much pain and kreese is essentially the same way. So hes weaponizing that grief and turning them from kids into killers. But once robby realizes that only he can control his destiny he'll probably leave

"If you died, I wouldn't even attend your funeral." That gets me every time. 😂

The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your "friend" That´s why I like how you said "is your ally" before Kreese finished the phrase... Such temporary alliences break faster than my bones when trying to skate :)

About the Christmas parties, those usually happen in the weeks of December leading up to Christmas Day, while generally the week of Christmas Day is when you stay home with family, open presents, etc. Love your reactions. As a former karateka (looking to get back into it), as an enjoyer of Japanese culture, your perspective on these is really cool to watch. And also great to know you're a fan of old school Star Wars (though I hear in general it's always been very popular in Japan).

Non-family Christmas parties aren't usually on Christmas since as you say, actual Christmas day is usually for family. Friends, Work, Club Xmas parties are usually just in the month of Dec at some time.

The cereal in the beginning is shredded wheat, and as you saw you add milk amd break it up, its an old school cereal, not sugary at all. But there is another version called "frosted mini wheats", and those are sugar covered bite-sized versions of that chunk you saw Johnny put in his bowl.

I love these reaction videos. If i may make a humble request...It would be great to hear a brief summary of your overall thoughts at the end of each episode or video. Thanks and I look forward to watching season four along with your reaction videos!

This kind of reaction is so much better than the emotionally detached “I’ll watch one scene and try to point out the stunt double” kind of reaction a lot of the big martial artist channels give. Blending an intimate knowledge of karate with the investment and analysis of someone invested in the show creates a great experience for anyone else intested in learning and who cares about the themes of the show. Well done

This is what a reaction video should be, I love your insight of the different things related to Karate and Japanese culture. Super informative and I love learning more from you

Seeing the Japanese perspective is good. I was stationed at Yokota AB from 2001-2008. I started martial arts there at Paraestra Hachioji. It reminds me of my time there. I now teach jiu-jitsu in Phoenix AZ. I might sign up for a one of your classes to learn Karate. I look forward to your videos. Have a good day.

29:22 Johnny may be one of my fav characters but he is clearly not perfect. Anyone that can look past Johnny being the mc and avoid being bias can recognize he wasn't a good father and it makes sense why Robby didn't wanna leave with him. Johnny has been absent from his life for the past 16 years. I find it dumb when people try to say Johnny has changed and get mad at Robby for not forgiving him. Like yes, it's very clear Johnny has changed but if you were to put yourself in Robby's shoes you would also have trouble forgiving someone that is supposed to be your dad for abandoning you. It's not even like Robby never bothered to give Johnny chances. He did, plenty of times, but even when Johnny and Robby were close to bonding there was always something to ruin it, such as misunderstandings, etc. Plus imagine how painful it must've been seeing his own dad who has hardly been in his life bond with some other random kid. Then there was Daniel, who ditched him once finding out he was Johnny's son (which is something Robby can't control) over some old ass beef from over 3 decades ago (when Robby didn't even exist) like a petty ass teenager though he's a grown-ass man LMFAO, and later on betraying Robby's trust once again by calling the cops on him. Samantha cheated on him. Everyone who he trusted and gave his love to betrayed him in some type of way. Don't get me started on Miguel. Miguel seems like the enemy in his eyes. He stole his girl, dad, all the little things that might've helped him change. Kreese has been the only actual person that hasn't betrayed him so it makes sense that he left with Kreese. Sorry, this is long LOL I'm just very passionate, plus I love Robby, he's so misunderstood Idk why he gets so much hate. I'd say the way his character is portrayed is a very realistic depiction of a damaged person with a lot of mental wounds compared to the "ohhh I forgive you." bullshit people want and expect.

This series was perfect to prepare for Season 4! I'm glad KZfaq recommended you out of the blue!!

The timing he has of the watching the show couldn't be more perfect the same day he reacts to season 3 finale same day season 4 releases Happy new year to those celebrating enjoy your night ✌️ May 2022 be one of the last year's of covid

"Everyone is the Hero of their own story."

Dude, Christmas is GIGANTIC here in the US. It basically starts right after Thanksgiving, Nov 24th, goes all through the month of December until Christmas Day, the 25th. We usually put our Christmas trees up December 1st, keep them up until the day after Christmas, along with our lights on our houses. You should see videos of some of the displays people have.

Yes!! The moment Karate Kid fans have been waiting for 30 years for, FINALLY they're working together! Kreese, we're coming for you! Season 4, let's go!!

Christmas itself is usually at home with family, and for religious families, Christmas Eve is a big church service, but Christmas Season (which is most of December) is full of office parties, and school parties, and yes, country club parties. These often involve great drama.

As silly as it is for Robbie to stay with Kreese, it is totally understandable. He's spent his entire life hating Johnny for abandoning him. That isn't easy to get over. And when he thought Daniel betrayed him by turning him into the police, that put Daniel in the same category in his mind as Johnny.

The fans have called the combined dojo "miyagi fang". Robby just hates both Johnny and Daniel now so he went Cobra Kai. Tory's skeleton hoodie was a throwback to the skeleton outfits from Halloween! There's lots more throwbacks too.

Awesome, this will help refresh the memory ahead of S4 arriving an hour later. It's 4:30am here in the UK and I'm staying up all night to catch S4 at 8am lol. Happy New year everyone and remember, Cobra Kai never dies!

I love, love these viewings. A good friend of mine was born and raised in Japan, and he always shares his culture with me, so I love hearing about it on these videos as well. He's been more Americanized, but his mother is more traditional. I do recall her making sushi, but she cooked the fish, and said that more traditional people from Japan don't like American fish so much, so they cook it often. Anyways, excited for season 4, and this season left off on a great note. I'm sure there will be conflict between Daniel and Johnny, but they're taking very slow steps towards reconciling.

Watching you react to this helped fight my cobra kai withdraws lol and it’s cool to learn some Hidden Japanese Eager eggs in the show you explain 👊🏻🦅👊🏻

I always liked the way Sam and Miguel got into their fight stance back to back.

These videos are so good!! I always thought Robbie was Anakin teetering on the edge of the dark side, Kreese is obviously Palpatine, and Johnny is Obi Wan

That might not be actual Christmas itself. There are usually all sorts of parties leading up to Christmas. I assume this is one of them.

Much of why Hawk had a change of heart was due to the following: First, Kreese recruited Kyler. The man that got Miguel and Eli into Cobra Kai in the first place. Then he recruited Robby, to get Johnny to come back. Which made Hawk feel demoted. Then when he saw his fellow Cobras wail on who used to be his friends he snapped out of it and went good. The reason why Demitri forgives him so easily is because he wanted his best friend back.

Just when Tory said "No mercy!" he said "where's Aisha" cuz Aisha screamed "no mercy" while Miguel was fighting Kyler in season 1 🤣

Oh! BTW, the house fight scene was filmed in one continuous take. Some of the smoothest camera work I've seen in the show.

I got my first car at 22, not everyone has rich parents but for everyone is different

This guy is an actual mad man! Being able to string in Star Wars references! What a boss!

Thanks for your reaction videos, this was a hype train to season four :D

Robby isn't Vader. HAWK is Vader. Think about it: oppressed as a kid, turned to the dark side, took his loved one's right hand, saw that his loved one was going to be severely hurt, realized that he'd made every wrong decision up to that point and chose his loved one over the dark side.

i normally do not like reaction videos but these might be some of my favorite videos ever nice to see different perspectives😁😁😁

I just finished season 4, and I'm SO EXCITED TO SEE THE REACTORS POST

​Great video! I plan to start your classes in the Spring when I get paid more and it's warmer as I will have to practice outside.

7:06 The age to get a license to drive a car in the US is 16. Speaking for myself (who grew up early 2000s American middle-class), my parents had two vehicles. I got my license at 16, and inherited my parents' oldest vehicle (at the time a '96 Jeep Cherokee) as they decided it was time to replace it. So at least in my experience, American middle-class culture can afford one vehicle for each parent, plus one for the nearly-adult children (my one older brother and I shared the inherited vehicle until we each became financially independent enough to afford our own).

i always find it funny how tory says "this ends tonight" then loses to sam, then says "this will never be over"... like cuz u lost and u keep losing to sam

You are so adorable. I love your genuine reactions and commentary to The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai.

I love watching your reactions to this show and getting your specialized input!

This show is amazing! Re-watching with you with the reactions and commentaries is awesome too! Keep up with the good work.

Love watching your reactions, its become addictive.

Ah, amazing. Thanks for your awesome reaction and commentary!

I love your reaction videos! It's so cool to hear a unique perspective on the series, and its awesome to learn these tidbits of Japanese culture! This series is so chilling and heart wrenching. Love what they did with Robby, even though it broke my heart. Poor kid has been betrayed in some way by pretty much everyone he cares about, so he turns to the only person who hasn't let him down: Kreese. Nobody ever warned him about Kreese, and Kreese made Johnny think he was going to go after Miguel so Johnny left Robby vulnerable. In the end, Cobra Kai helped him in jail, so Robby wants to know more. I think that's why he stays with Kreese at the end.

You asked what we do on Christmas, usually we stay home with family like you, but sometimes we get invited to go somewhere. A lot of Christmas events aren't actually on Christmas, they are just in December on a different day.

I love this series! Each actor plays the characters so well 👏🏼 I have no hate to any season and it’s just so written well. Best show ever and is so entertaining

I really like your lessons, Sensei. Looking forward to season 4.

Hey, Miguel was fighting for his life, I think he's allowed to throw in a few flips to get out of the situation.

You made it just in time!

I'm from Southern California. I didn't get my first car, '94 Toyota Celica, until I was around 20 years old. However we did usually get our drivers license in High School. I got mine before my senior year started just turning 17.

During the Christmas fight I felt the same frustrations you are about this situation. "How do you just break into someone's house!?" All the Cobra Kai members would be going to jail and Cobra Kai would have been shut down in any semi-sane world. It makes no sense.

Best tv series in absolutely years. Although I do have some concerns over thr grading and belt structure of these dojos

Having a great time with these reactions..

Sensei, It all comes down to this episode, mostly the last 6 mins. but specially the last 4 mins and the cliff hanger ending Daniel and Johnny joining forces. I have been waiting for your reaction to those particular moments. I have been waiting 18 mos. for Season 4. Glad you enjoy the Cobra Kai series Sensei! Robby stayed because Kreese has been the only one that (in his eyes) has been there for him, giving him the attention he seeks.

i love how his mouth dropped when bert went through the window lol

The Star Wars vibe was very intentional. The song playing is even called "Duel of Snakes"

I've loved Karate Kid since the 80s....and it's so special watching this with Sinsei. Really love it.

I haven't started 4th season yet but these episodes are enough to get you hyped for it

I love when Yusuke’s like “Robby, come. No. Come. Robby” 😂

great reactions sensei

Hyped

usually for Christmas we do stay home. The parties are just held prior to Christmas day. I love how Ali and Daniel's wife bond over the guys being uncofortable. I would totally be just sitting at the table with popcorn watching the cringe unfold. I love how the kids are getting over their differences far faster than the adults. Aiesha's folks put her in private school, sold their house and moved after the school riot. Think my favorite is Hawk seeing he's on the same side as the guy who tormented him and finally switching sides. Then he and Demetri cleaning house.

In the US Christmas day is generally spent at home with the family but the entire month of December is pretty much celebrated as Christmas. You'll celebrate it with friends and coworkers, usually the parties like in this episode are in the final week leading up to Christmas. That's why I think the Final Episode of S3 is called Dec 19th.

I love this show so much.

I love how this show turned into Star Wars with karate

Every season ends beautifully. The musically soundtrack just brings it to life

I eat dinner with my family for Christmas, when I was younger we would have about 50+ family members over sharing dinner. But now I just have dinner with very few people.

In America, Christmas is a season that pretty much starts December 1st. So, there’s lots of parties with friends and coworkers all the way up til Christmas Day. The 25th is mostly just for family though. But even then friends might stop by, or you might go see friends after spending the 1st half of the day with family.

I got my first car at 17 during my senior year. Worked all summer to save up. This was back when cars weren't terribly expensive. Christmas, for us, is spent mainly with family at home! We sometimes get together on Christmas Eve with extended family, or go downtown to look at lights.

Robby is more Anakin, reminded me of his turn to the dark side, then fighting Obi Wan aka Johnny

Well, not EVERYBODY gets to go to a country club for a Christmas party, and you were right about Christmas being a time to spend with family, but Christmas is also meant to be a festive occasion on which many people go to parties like the one you saw in that episode, although they're usually not that fancy. Typically they'll be in a person's home, and will include lots of food, party games, and probably gift exchange, depending on what was agreed upon beforehand. There's a Christmas party game called "White Elephant" in which everyone brings a present, and then people take turns trading presents trying to get the one that they want. :)

Here in the UK - the cereal You are wondering about is called “Shredded wheat” and has very little added sugar (You can’t even taste that it’s even got sugar) You can have with milk and some people add Honey or blueberries. It is a very healthy cereal for breakfast

You should try Mongolian bbq. It's delicious! You chose whatever thinly sliced meats you want and as many sliced vegetables as you want. You can also add. You fill a small ceramic bowl with all of this and the cook takes it from you and dumps it on a big flat top grill. They season it and oil it up and kind of stir fried the whole thing, then they put it back in the bowl. It's delicious and there is a lot of it!

That bow between the two Sensei was epic !!! What was that final move Daniel was going to do to finish off Kreese? IT looked like a knife hand maybe?

On Christmas Day we usually stay home. But often we have Christmas parties with our work or other organizations--especially just before Christmas.

There are usually Christmas events and parties throughout the week before Christmas, especially on Christmas Eve. We stay home and visit friends on the actual Christmas DAY

I'd definitely recommend coming over here for a few days in December, you would love seeing everything.

Some companies and private organizations would host holiday parties which include a dinner and usually a DJ for dancing afterwards. This a good chance for your co-workers and spouses to socialize outside the workplace.

There's a video on KZfaq that shows how some of the stunts are done for the series. Some of those perfect kicks and flips are the result of wire work or some other aid that is removed from the scene in post-production.

Just so you know, ... i'm gonna watch this before i start season 4 ... which came out 6 hours ago, LOL ha haha

18:28 - This is how you know Sam is smarter than Tori. Sam chooses a stick over something stupid like nunchucks which are made by cutting a perfectly good stick and making it even worse.

@9:56 Christmas time is all encompassing. There are decorations everywhere, lights especially. Because nights are longer in winter, you see many Christmas lights, to light up the dark sky. The idea around Christmas time is to be very generous and share with your neighbors & co-workers. The act of exchanging gifts is spread throughout the month of December, but as for the day of Christmas (12-25), that day is reserved for spending time with your family. Almost everything is closed on 12-25, so people can be with their families.

I think the Christmas episode takes place on Dec. 19 on the show, so it's 6 days before Christmas. it's common to go to Christmas parties in the week leading up to Christmas--either at a friend's house, neighbor's house, neighborhood party, or a club you belong to.

Shredded wheat is what that cereal is called in the UK you can add sugar to make it sweeter and have it with hot milk which makes it taste so much better!

hawks redemption story is very satisfying.

The cereal is shredded wheat. Its old school. Bland on its own, and not Sweet. But cheap and filling. Its also healthy as its complex carbs. But there are things you can do to make it more palletable. Typically. I mix it with frozen berries and a little bit of sugar. The milk tends to become yogurt like on the berries. I also cut some bananas into it. For protein... What ever i got. You cal also do other things with it. Crush it, mix with a little peanut butter for a ghetto granola bar. Use it as a yogurt or ice cream topping with a little bit of chocolate sauce. Etc. Pretty versatile if you're creative

Not an American , but we're westernized enough to have some similar expectations and rituals. The run up to Xmas is usually (before the pandemic) spent attending parties: office, club, organization etc. On Xmas day you're home with the family. My take: the LaRussos have wealth and standing in their community, so they have to make an appearance at the country club, to renew connections, etc.

Most all the Christmas parties like they are at, are held before Christmas. Like a company Christmas party would be held the last day before they were let off for Christmas holidays or a School Christmas party would be held before the students were let go for the holidays. It's not actually on Christmas. Your right, Christmas is almost always at home.

I don't know if it's been said to you Yusuke-sensei, but it's better to watch Cobra Kai as a sort of live-action shonen highschool fighting anime rather than as a live action drama (a word which I understand holds different connotations in Japan). Because that's basically what it is-- high schoolers getting into fights that conspicuously lack a proportionate public/legal response, the special attacks, the adults being wayyyyyy way too invested in the conflicts of children, the children themselves being absurdly hypercompetent fighters, the constant heightened emotions, side-swapping, bad guys becoming good.... This is basically the same kind of thing as like, Tenjo Tenge, or Ranma 1/2, or Kenichi.

Yes it’s cereal, a fiber cereal, shredded wheat, the taste depends on the flavor they put on it, there’s some that don’t have any sugar so you have to add sugar if you want, some called Minnie Wheats that are smaller, some frosted Minnie wheats that one side are white with sugar, some have strawberries flavored or blueberries flavors

Christmas day itself is a stay at home day, but often before the holiday, parties will be held amongst friends, coworkers, or private clubs.

Damn this season finale was amazing.

You have the best reactions hands down with cobra kai my background is ten years of sin Moo Hapkido!

The age that an American can start driving depends on the state, but is usually about 15-16 years old

I still couldn't believe I lived enough to see Larusso vs Kreese.

It’s common for there to be a work Christmas party, or something like that. There’s usually some community celebrations too, like parades.

I had gotten my license at 17 years old. Most of my friends at the time had gotten theirs between 16-18 and a lot of kids at my high school had cars and would drive to school. I honestly think the driving age is so low because in the US, you basically need a car to get anywhere since things are so spaced out (unless you live in NYC) and teenagers still need to work.
