Totally worth it

Troll Technique...if do right...no can defense.

and kumiko probably play along

Had to commit to the prank. Kenshin, "commitment." Hence, Rurouni Kenshin's commitment to not kill, using a reverse bladed sword. (Yes, I just googled the translation and came up with a way to remember it.)

I loved Daniel’s arc in Okinawa, it was freaking awesome

@@yoszen2892 for real, DAMN

Johnny is getting there slowly but surely.

@@PrinceAkaiVtuber that was the bigger surprise but I was hoping for that character arc. I like that he's incorporating some of Daniels okinawan karate....not sure if Miyagi's was based in Shotokan or Isshin Ryu

@@farbauti5398 Or on Shorin-ryu which is the sister style to Gojo-Ryu.

He should be the one teaching karate to all those kids.

@@HolyknightVader999 who? Chozen? Yeah, I agree. The other two need more time in the oven.

Wil Wheaton is as old if not older than Patrick Stewart when Star Trek Next Generation first aired. Mark Hamill was as old as Alec Guiness in the 7th Star Wars film

He was 52 when he first played Miyagi. It's unclear how old Miyagi was supposed to be, but Cobra Kai has established that he was born in 1925 which would have made him 59 in Karate Kid 1. Daniel is supposed to be 51 here (close to Morita's age) whereas Ralph Macchio is 57/58 at the time of filming, close to Miyagi's actual in-movie age. I think the line is supposed to be a meta reference to that. Otherwise they just have their dates off.

48? Where on earth did you get that number? Are you saying that The Karate Kid was in post production for 4 years?

Wow 48 is young. How come he looked sooo old? He looked like he was in his 70s

@@MattyDemello Pat Morita was an alcoholic since he was 12. I am sure the constant abuse of alcohol, did not help his appearance.

The one that actually surprised me was Tracy Toguchi... the actual little girl.

Yes, Tamlyn was born in Okinawa and is actually Okinawan-American. Hence the inclusion of Okinawan glass, bingata ryusou(her pink kimono) and the inclusion of uchinaaguchi(沖縄口) in the script.

Wow i nevet know it was her first role

@@suraweevanichseni9859 yeah, neither did I until she was talking about it last year when Cobra Kai season 3 came out. She said it was nice to work with Ralph macchio again and how he was nice to her back in 1985 when she had never been on a film set before, he was showing her where to stand and find her mark, he made her laugh so it wasn't so stressful, etc.

I recall reading about Tamlyn's insistence on Okinawan authenticity which, at least in MY opinion, makes these scenes all the better.

I cried a lot during his Japanese trip. The passing of time, aging, reuiniting after decades apart... these things always hit me pretty hard.

By far the greatest scene in the series.

Did he cut that part put because I can't find it in his reaction?

I don’t find it funny. It’s amazing writing and feels very real.

Luckily for them, most of them didnt become AAA-stars, but yes, its absolute great.

I have been there when I had my stroke the feeling and happiness whe you can move is indescribable

God Bless you and replier Chris.

I KNOW YOU LIKE IT!!!!

They recycle a lot of the old dialogue...kind of like finding an Easter egg.

You might enjoy this is you haven't seen it already. It was made a couple of years before Cobra Kai. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8WBaJaj3c3MioE.html

I read they were filming in Puerto Rico for season 5.

He looks Younger than Johnny

Played a teenager until he was well into his 30's.

@@valogden They probably needed to film in Puerto Rico to simulate México or something

@@mikeochoa458 Johnny doesn't look that old in real life. They make his character look unkempt and messed up because of alcohol, but they look like they're the same age.

I'm 48 now and there are still jokes (and grudges sadly) I remember from my high school days. You just try to live long enough to make peace with yourself and others.

The front man from Twisted Sister

I think it's a plot hole? Mr. Miyagi's wife and son were in an US internment camp during WW2, which would make him significantly older in the 1980s than Daniel is now. But technically correct if you are using their true ages.

@@audreyandlinCompany Yeah, the character ages don't actually line-up with Daniel's statement here. Miyagi was born in 1925 even though Pat Morita was born in 1932, so Miyagi would have been 59 in 1984 when Karate Kid 1 was set even though Pat was 51 when Karate Kid 1 filmed. Daniel meanwhile was 16 in Karate Kid 1 even though Ralph was 22 when the movie filmed, and Daniel was 50 at the start of Cobra Kai, so he would be 51 in season 3, not 59 like Miyagi, even though Ralph himself was 58 when season 3 filmed.

@@audreyandlinCompany yes, and if he was born in 1925 he'd have been 18 in 1943. And then a Sgt in the army after only 2 years?

The one knuckle fist is also part of Shorin-ryu which was my first martial art.

Good catch!!

Yeah something tells me he shouldn't be singing anymore, that scene was awkward as hell, must've been even worse to film... "Yeah, sounds great Dee, you still got it bro!". Shame, the guy used to have a great voice too.

Karate kid 2 is the best karate kid movie ever the second is my favorite

But could you break the ice in the video game? LoL

I doubt Yuji had to do that much. He was already an experienced martial artist when he shot of TKK 2, so he's probably been training at a pretty consistent pace since.

Yeah they hurt and are effective but not numbing. They spasm muscles though

Yeah ptsd yes

I was told the same thing, especially when learning about farm tools that got repurposed as weapons. I have learned to question everything I was told, as I became aware of the staggering amount of BS that got ingrained to entertain children and even adults, oversimplify for children and as always, marketing. Children grow up believing those and pass it on to others who take it as gospel. So I realize that I basically don't know anything, and I'm actually pretty happy with that. It's A LOT easier for me to be a beginner than a know-it-all.

@@thebob6385 Maybe sometimes could be things got lost in translation but as far as I'm aware from Okinawans, it was to defend themselves from Japanese Samurai invasion, since Okinawa was not that keen to Japan mainland but I could be still wrong. Maybe a native from Okinawa could confirm this.

kinda. from what I've heard that may be simplifying it. in that initially it was the Okinawan nobility but, with the japanese invasion they were reduced to being poor like everyone else. basically it started as a rich persons thing but, when the japanese came those rich people were now in the same class as the poor people before the invasion making it seem like something all farmers did. I feel like there are a few videos either here or on Jesse Enkamps channel discussing this.

The Okinawan aristocrats learnt it from the Chinese confuscian scholars . It was a sign of status and a duty towards the rest of the people. This offshoot of kung fu was called Te. But of course the Satsuma made everyone poor , the aristocrats included

@@DaimonAnimations That's pretty much 100% a myth. I suppose it came along with a story about developing a punch so fast and powerful they could punch through the samurai armour and kill them with one blow before then could complete their sword swing? (Yes that's something I heard from someone). In reality, karate was basically a civilian self-defense system, a combination of native Okinawan "te" boxing techniques and whatever various teachers learnt from Chinese kung-fu schools over the years. You can read some actual history of karate from Okinawans who have written about it. Funakoshi's "Karate-Do, My Way of Life" has some interesting history, and Morio Higaonna has written a full book titled "The History Of Karate", which, while mostly focused on Naha-Te and Goju-Ryu, does have a bit about the early history and the invasion of Okinawa by the Satsuma clan. Despite the romantic notion of trained karateka with deadly fists battling katana-wielding samurai to the death, Higaonna's book paints a more realistic picture, one where battles are fought between perhaps a hundred Okinawans armed with staffs and spears, vs over a thousand Japanese armed with guns. The Okinawans may have fought valiantly, but the entire war was over within a month or so. Not only was the war far too short to allow the evolution of an entirely new combat system, the Okinawans who did fight were smart enough to use the weapons available, even if they were a far cry from the cutting-edge (for the day) firearms the invaders possessed.

Amanda may well be my favorite character in the series. I love that she transforms from, "you boys need to finish your penis-measuring and grow up!" To "This S.O.B. is evil and HAS GOT TO GO!"

the real ones don't paralyze though, they just cause a spasm which can make you drop a weapon etc

Yeah they hurt and can stop a opponent.

The school fight was great in terms of spectacle, but I think the house fight in S3 was just as good in terms of story and seeing Hawk's redemption. I wonder how they will top these final fights in seasons 4 and 5 🤔

@@mcfry13 the cast said something about episode 9 and 5 of the season and how it was their favorites so we'll have to see what's in store for those. They also mentioned a crazy climax at the end of the season

It actually works? I tried it and felt nothing.

@@kermit1211 No obviously itdidnt

In these episodes, there is some Okinawan(uchiinaguchi) specific language used, which is an endangered language. Which is why many may have trouble, since it isn't 日本語.
