I wouldn’t consider him and underdog though he’s filthy rich and tried to run Johnny out of business in season 1, Johnny is barely able to afford to pay the bills while Danny boy has two houses and a collection of expensive vintage cars. But compared to Silver he would be an underdog.

​@@evanmaldonado9799it's like johnny was an angel In season 4 it was Daniel reminded the people of the valley that johnny Lawrence is also a 2 time all valley champion In the end miyagi do karate won and broke cobra kai for good

​@@evanmaldonado9799Daniel was certainly an antagonist in S1, but we do see his character development over the seasons and his conflict resolution with Johnny. He's a much better person now.

And its funny that Kenobi also blended the cosmic and the living force together .

It baffled me how Daniel got to trap Silver’s punch using his thigh and elbow knowing it had the potential to swing up fast.

Like catching a fly with chopsticks.

And he used his enemy's weakness to perfection. It should have been easy-peasy for Silver to counter the crane kick. But having created so many enemies at a point where he needed as many allies as possible, he was neatly done in by his underestimation of Daniel's true superpower: relationships with smaller characters. Always look eye, indeed.

@@AllRequired I feel like it went deeper than physically seeing in this moment. Was so nostalgic and happy with this ending for the season.

@@AllRequired silver was already beaten by the time he used the crane kick. You’re right though, he didn’t look eye

To be fair I say this counts as a full win silver asked for it its not like he said I'm too tired I won't fight he accepted this fight fair and square and still lost

Not to mention using his own method

@@kaushikhegde8227 exactly that's why Daniel is a legend the guy destroyed cobra kai what twice as a fighter and once as a sensei

In front of everybody including his own pupils.

He really outsmarted him thiz time

Both glasses have broken before and after.

Noooo way! He's 60?? And they're the same age????

@@hchoe741 yea Ralph hair isn’t grey he looked young when he was 18

Thomas Ian Griffith was actually born in 1957, but keeps disputing to 1962. According to his University records, he graduated High School in 1975. If he was born in 1962, he would have been only 13 at that time. I understand some people like to lie about your age. He ain't fooling anybody.

he’s 60 no way he looks to young

@@clamshell6863 Sounds like you pulled this "fact" out of your ass

Yeah, but that was one he taught Julie Pierce. 😏

Plus this one he had to fight

One thing is for sure. Daniel will never be as skilled of a fighter as Mr. Miyagi was. I dare say that Miyagi at age 80, could have defeated Daniel at age 40.

@@Scorch1028 Not the point. Daniel has evolved to stand on his own. Granted, it took a good deal of outside help, but his connections with seemingly insignificant individuals were his true superpower. These individuals, which would move into serious positions in the world later on, would return the favor in time of crisis.

@@AllRequired Based on the way that Daniel lost his first fight to Terry Silver, and the way that a "fresh" Daniel beat Terry, who had just taken a beating from Chozen, I don't get the feeling that a fresh Daniel could beat a fresh Terry. Well, this point is probably moot since Daniel and Terry might never fight each other again.

Gayest dialogue ever!!! My root is in your ass then you turn into a tree.

He can rely on that Crane Crap

⁠ not in the street fight

And Mike Barnes as well. All of Daniel's past rivals in one scene with him was awesome.

2:36 me too.

The best part: Danny gave Terry a dose of his OWN medicine.

When Kyler Park is one of the first to bail on you, you have definitely cemented your status as the worst of the worst.

He'd bail on anyone tbh

@@AllRequired I feel like kyler would’ve still stayed in cobra Kai if silver didn’t go to jail and still had the dojo opened

@@Isiauwuehrifi And if Silver wins this fight it proves he is better than Daniel Cobra Kai better than Miyagi-do, and maybe nobody leaves Cobra Kai. I do wish everyone was punished for their illegal behavior.

It's different. They felt justified in attacking their "enemies" because they trusted their sensei. What Silver did betrays that trust. It doesn't mean someone like Kyler will turn into a good person. It just means he doesn't trust Silver, so he won't be following his lead anymore.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Terry was pulling an Eddie Guerrero

This the funniest thing I've read all week!! 😂

At that point, he should have. There was no stopping Daniel-san once he went full Mr. Miyagi on Silver.

Ikr😂

and what happened to terry?

@@aplha-0146 He honestly believed he had no weaknesses. And that was the ultimate weakness.

@@AllRequired no like what happened after his defeat was there another showdown

Silver's Cobra Kai might be done, but Kreese is free again, and Sensei Kim is still has her ultimate Cobra Kai back in Korea

Exactly when did he sweep the leg?? Lol

@@cooper3814 Kreese is a fugitive for a crime he actually committed. His best interest is to go into hiding.

@@liamcephus9687 at about 1:36 it looks like Daniel swept the leg. I may have misread the room. One thing is for sure, Daniel clearly knocked Silver down.

when was the chest punch established as an eagle fang thing? I wanna go back and see that

The crane kick is actually meant as a form of therapy, not combat.

@@AllRequired yeah, well it worked wonders for danny's trauma LOL

"Look eye! ALWAYS look eye!" - Mr. Miyagi

and he knew Daniel won the first all-valley with a crane kick, he ridiculed him about it in KK3. So yeah, if he was looking where he should have been looking, he probably counters it.

@@22steve5150 yeah, a crane kick is actually very easy to stop if you've seen it at least once or if you're at sensei level and not distracted/injured

I hope this is acknowledged for the rest of the show: Daniel, at least in this scene, but HOPEFULLY for the rest of the show, reached Miyagi's level. The student has, finally, after more than 30 years, become the master. For all the show's faults, no other story in film has ever captured this so well.

@@MrDavidKord Daniel definitely became Miyagi in this scene. If you remember Miyagi’s fight with Silver, Kreese, and Barnes in karate kid 3, he also didn’t take a single hit. “It’s like poetry, it rhymes.”

@@dervish108 But unlike the Star Wars prequels, this wasn't just pointless mirroring. This was character development that has been worked for over the course of years. Such effective storytelling. I was actually thinking about this very comparison while writing my first comment haha.

@@MrDavidKord yousa point is well seen. 😜

Yes and he finally earned the title of Karate Master

@@theokim2280 she doesn't want to engage in his "petty" rivalry anyway. Her end goal is to spread her grandpa's karate to the world and this bullshit with Silver and Miyagi Do is merely a nuisance to her

I definitely feel she's going to be a major villain if there's a season 6, possibly connected with Miguel's biological father (I really hope they didn't waste two episodes on someone we won't see again) and his MMA fighters, all as part of the buildup to the world karate tournament.

@@ianharac5153 I think she's gonna team up with Kreese. They showed that moment where Kreese winked at her as a little girl when him and Silver were training with her grandpa for a reason

@@rogergarrison4271 I think you're correct. While the series tends to ignore most issues of law in favor of moving the plot along (which is hardly unusual in any kind of action-oriented modern-day series, so that's not intended as criticism), Kreese assaulted a doctor and escaped from prison; even if you're innocent of the crime you're jailed for, you generally can't just break out -- that's a crime in itself. So I think Kreese will need to lay low, working behind the scenes with Kim. (It's also possible they'll handwave it with "Kreese got a really good lawyer who got the charges dropped in exchange for not suing the city over false imprisonment" as a blink-and-you-miss-it line of dialog in the first episode of S6. But I think Kreese in hiding has more dramatic potential, esp. if Tory finds out and keeps covering for him, adding conflict between her and Sam, Robbie, and Miguel. Gotta keep re-igniting old feuds! (Again, that's not a criticism; it's one of the premises you accept for the show.))

@@ianharac5153 I think Kreese is gonna be more dangerous this coming season. He is not a dumb man. With breaking out of prison he knows his days are likely numbered. He doesn't intend to skip town he broke out with the sole purpose of screwing with Daniel and Johnny He's gonna be working as a man with nothing to lose and gonna try to accomplish that in a big way before the law catches him

First learn stand, then learn fly.

The first two defense moves are from the drum technique, also

man, when Daniel hit Silver in the chest I screamed "yeahhh", fist in the air. Amazing how this series delivers these sort of emotions. Love the writers and producers

Sekai Taikai montage lol that would be 🤌

that look on his face at 1:40 said exactly that too.

As a fan of Both James Bond and Karate Kid/Cobra Kai. I say Thomas Ian Griffith MUST PORTRAY A James Bond Villain Character ,which is similar to Terry Silver.

Sean Connery and Griffith would ha e been a cool chemistry.

He said that in the 80s he was doing cocaine. So I guess that he relapsed, because he's back in "coke-fueled asshole" territory.

Cobra Kai Lower Decks is not a bad idea.

From what Chozen said, Myagi-do already embodied that technique. Defeat your enemies by taking away their ability to fight.

Nobody else but Daniel and Silver knew the conversation that they had. It was humiliating for Silver that he had to pay the refs to win but nobody else in the room thought much over losing his fight to Daniel. He looked openly exhausted and bloodied by his fight to the death with Chozen.

Do the crane, Danny Boy!

You can tell the three showrunners are Karate Kid fans #1-3. You have to wonder why so many of these Hollywood bigwigs want their legacy to be "I worked on stuff I didn't like and turned it to s*** for the people who did"

lol .. there it is ... The SW, ST and now LOTR purist ... Yes, this show has respected the source material and the history very well. To be fair it doesn't have too much of a 'universe' to worry about. Get the same actors back and continue the story and that's exactly what it's done. But seriously drop the purist ideology, people were saying that about ST Deep Space Nine when it first came out 30 years ago. And it's by far the best Trek series. Don't enjoy the new stuff? Then don't watch it. But this is a far simpler endeavor to get right than the 'big three'. If you think you can do a better job , by all means go ahead.

@@originalbadboy32 ah so nobody's allowed to contrast or compare Cobra Kai with other remakes in a comments section about cobra Kai. Thanks for the edict.o' High Lord "Dick"

@@jonathanbrown7250 Yes .. and I just did .. Oh and BTW LOTR : ROP is NOT a remake There was no contrast or compare just the usual shouting at the clouds drive by posting as per usual.

@@originalbadboy32 wow, that was amazing,! Ya just dug right into my psyche and figured me out, just like that, great work! You should be a psychologist.

Watching the episode where he went to see Chozen who explained the other side of Myagi-do, it is clear that the 'Quicksilver' method was nothing new. Myagi-do was all about defeating the enemy by taking away their ability to fight.

@@JasonAguirre NICE!!

@@JasonAguirre Defense takes on many forms And Daniel learns it now.

The only thing I disagree with from what you said is that Amanda made a "major mistake" leaving Daniel. They both needed the distance, because Daniel was blinded by his fear and hatred of Silver, while Amanda could not make sense of the situation because of a severe lack of context, which she got from her cousin Jessica, and she immediately changed her disposition towards the whole situation.

@@TheJFGB93 perhaps but Amanda should have been more understanding to where Daniel is coming from. True that Daniel was blinded by his hatred for Silver, although it was due to that trauma coming back the moment Silver manipulated both him and Amanda, but he did have a good reason to hate Silver for it because he knew what that maniac was capable of and Amanda didn't. Kreese was one thing, but Silver was worse and he charmed Amanda, therefore, she refused to listen to Daniel and that made things worse for Daniel that without his wife by his side, he lost before the first fight started he almost got killed. This time with Amanda coming to her senses and being by his side, that's when Daniel wins against Silver. It's that simple and refusing to listen and understand the other spouse's side was the major mistake I meant

@@devonhinckley2889 Daniel never told Amanda anything you cant blame her hell he never told her about his rivalry with johnny and krease she always found out the worse way possible

@@markelscott100 that might be true as well because he was afraid of what they both did to him as a kid earlier and it left a scar on him, plus he was ashamed of having been a cobra kai once for a short time because of Silver and Kreese. True that he could have at least told Amanda the whole truth about the damage they caused to him as a kid. Thank goodness Johnny, Chozen, and Mike Barnes are all on his side because they got past their whole rivalry with Daniel earlier, so they helped him get past it. Thankfully, it took Amanda's cousin who knew about the Terry Silver incident earlier to have Amanda see the truth and reality of the carnage Silver was capable of and thank goodness she came to Daniel's side after he almost got killed by Silver, that opened her eyes to the truth that Silver had to be stopped

I loved the line where he said he was the same age as Mr. Myagi when they met...

*sadly dies from cringe*

Silver was Daniels fight. This was Daniels season. Now in season 6, the Daniel storyline should be over and it should be about the kids

Yep. And I think that's exactly what the focus of season 6 will be: who ultimately inherits the Way of the Fist, and in what form?

Crazy that him and Ralph Macchio are the same age, though Macchio is also getting in better and better shape.

Don’t be sus bruh

Also Daniel was also tired from dancing and drinking all night as well as running for who knows how long until Stingray picked him up.

And what was said in earlier episode ... this fight..Daniel had everyone in the room fighting for him.. and silver was fighting against

I find it funny that ppl forget that Daniel was drunk and pretty tired as well. This fight was a lot more fair than ppl care to admit.

You're right. Kreese was the one who caused the tragedy, but in the end it was Silver who fucked himself over in the end. He was unable to let go in the end.

dang 😂😂😂

I don't think Silver was ever as benevolent as he appeared. If you watch Kreese's Flashbacks one thing stands out. Kreese started out as a normal, peaceful, loving man. He was then turned into a hardened warrior by his commanding officer who he killed because he "learned a lesson" which is that mercy is for the weak. Him and Silver become friends. At the time he's still a half way decent person as shown in Silver's season five flashbacks. He really cares about his students, especially Johnny, and he's good with children, think his relationship with Kim. However over the years his moral character erodes. Part of that is the style he was taught and its philosophy concerning life. However part of that is Silver. Silver is a manipulator and a sociopath. We see throughout Cobra Kai glimpses of the old Kreese coming out. Like when he tells Tory that she should win the fight her way. It's Kreese that told her that not Silver. Silver told her to fight dirty. Not Kreese. I think that Silver took on the persona of a benevolent business man for three reasons: 1. Cobra Kai was defeated in Karate Kid 3. His Karate Career was over. He had no students to manipulate because nobody would put on a Cobra Kai uniform. 2. Kreese disappeared. Silver was never able to fully pursue his Karate due to his father pressuring him to go into the family business. Silver instead lived vicariously through Kreese. He funded Kreese. He gave him a place for the dojo. He did everything he could to assist Kreese so that he could eventually live out his Karate fantasies. When Kreese disappeared that was gone. 3. After Karate Kid 3 people learned who he really was. Also he probably finally got caught for his shady business dealings. In order to get out of going to prison he probably had to make a deal signing over control of Dynatox to someone else and pay restitution. In order to fend off bad publicity he found another persona. He started a new company with his remaining money and he started charity work in order to clean up his public image. Doing so opened the door for him to twist and manipulate a whole new group of people. The only reason he came back was because Kreese came back. Had Kreese stayed gone Silver would've remained basically harmless. To help you understand better what I'm saying I'm going to link a video about a similar character in another franchise. It'll be in my next comment.

@@TatteredBiblePodcast nobody is reading that you wrote a novel nobody is reading that just understand that nobody is reading that just know that.

I think Silver is like Dimitri from GTA 4 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2klc-Q3ZiYpYk.html
