Chozen went from wanting to destroy Daniel in KK2 to having his back like a brother. I’m so glad they brought him back.

I love how they turned Chozen into a hero in this series.

Mr Miyagi would be so proud of Chozen. A rage filled, impatient young man who cut corners and often relied on the easy path in his youth, has now become a disciplined man and honourable warrior who’s found his inner peace, while also tapping into his anger in battle, but only to protect others this time. The character development in this show is incredible and that alone is worth watching this series.

Chozen had the rage as a young man and had to learn discipline to change his ways. He's a different animal from Daniel in this way, he can still tap into that brutality if he wants to.

Daniel has a ride or die friend in Chozen. What a fantastic character.

I have never seen Silver Speechless. That was a great scene

Both the utter silence and rage of Silver hiding behind that smile at the end was epic. Chozen mopped the floor with those senseis without even so much as breaking a sweat.

Notice as Silver circles around Chozen while talking you see Chozen making fists, but as soon as Terry was back in front of him his hands are calm again. Love those small little details

I think most will agree, the dynamic between Chozen and Silver was the highlight of the show. It was like an unstoppable force meeting an immoveable object....

Silver's acting is superb here.

Terry - "You're playing with fire Danny boy" Chozen - "And I'm gasoline"

Terry is scared of Chozen and it shows. Even drunk Chozen was able to kick his ass.

I'll tell you this, as someone who saw both KK2 and KK3 in the theaters. I sure as hell never thought I'd see this fight. I like how Silver reacted here too, you could tell seeing someone so aggressive yet calculated and focused from the Miyagi was a bit of a shock to him.

3:02 Chozen was like, "SHUT UP!"

He’s a grand master. Like palpatine vs yoda

I hope that Chozen will return in season 6 He really was great against Silver and he really kicked ass.

Wouldn't it have been awkward if one of the Cobra Kai students had walked in, not knowing that the class had been cancelled, just as Chozen is beating down all the other senseis.

I love how Chozen still bows before coming onto the mat on enemy territory.

Never in my life did I think I would think that chozen would have me tearing up with his words. He is now one of my fave characters. RIP MASTER SENSEI MIYAGI.

I think deep down Terry knew these guys weren't a match for Chozen and send the lambs to be slaughtered. I think he wanted to study Chozen's moves and see if Chozen had any weaknesses. Like he said everyone has a weakness.

The fumble with the alcohol toast was giving "Inglorious Bastards" vibes

Yeah Chozen is a Badass one of the best characters 🔥🔥

Chozen's demeanor and line delivery is like a perfect fusion of Miyagi and Sato. Yuji Okumoto will never get enough accolades for his work in this show

3:35 - even though he's keeping a stoic face, Terry is shaken and is fully aware that Chozen is not to be trifled with.

Terry Silver is one of the best antagonists in TV

I remember the words kanpai and karii when Daniel was in Okinawa with Kumiko in season 3. I loved when Chozen was beating the sensei's and after he defeated them he drew a line. I also loved when he said do not come near LaRusso family and it also felt like that Mr. Miyagi was here in spirit.

Chozen is probably the strongest fighter in Cobra Kai. I believe he is the only character from the original movies that never stopped training. Of course there was that fight where him and Johny were struggling against one of the new senseis, but I think that was more meant for the plot than anything else.

That strike at 2:28 at Terry's face right after it..."ooh crap". Chozen is the ultimate repentant monster in this scene. Yosh!

As soon as he said he'd pay triple, when first watching this after it was released my thought was "Your money is safe Terry" lol

3:35 -- I googled "badass" and landed here.

The hilarious thing about Chozen’s infiltration scheme is that he ever thought it had a chance of working. The moment “Sensei Joe” had to fill out some employment forms and submit to a background check, he would have been rumbled way worse than just by saying “Karii.” Hell, given that he actually teaches classes back in Okinawa, Silver probably just googled a list of senseis affiliated with the Miyagi-do style and history and found Chozen’s bio staring back at him within seconds. Can’t get away with casually faking your identity in this day and age.

Silver isn't the world's greatest detective like Batman, but holy shit he's already a step ahead of someone and can pick up multiples of clues and figure shit out about someone fast.

3:17 Chozen sounded like Sato there!!!!

You gotta hand it to Terry Silver on how extremely resourceful he can be.

I love a redemption story where a heroes great enemy becomes their great allie. I love this stuff.

To me. This is an homage to the first Ip Man movie back when Master Ip took down 10 black belt karate practitioners. When Japan invade China, they took over most of where Ip Man lived with his wife and child. He and his family struggled to find food. The general that led the invading forces was not only a black belt in karate himself but he also brought his top students. He tasked resident martial artists with challenging his students for bags of rice. The more they defeated in combat, the more food they got. A friend of Ip Man, died during this trial. And in anger, challenged ten black belts simultaneously. All ten men came at him at once. And what followed in those few minutes could only be described as the most brutal bare handed combat I have ever seen. Ip Man took them all down. Half of them he killed, the other half that were lucky to survive were either traumatized or crippled for the rest of their lives. They would never fight again. He broke their arms. He snapped their legs. He beat this one guys chest so hard and fast he actually went into cardiac arrest and died. The poor soul that was left standing didn't want to fight him after seeing nine of his colleagues go down. But he marched straight to his death and Ip Man showed no mercy to him. And then Ip Man left with his bag of rice and two bloody fists.

One of my favourite scenes,not just Chozen's destruction of the sensei's but Silver's story leading up to it.

Hell yeah, he's a freaking badass🔥💯

2:00 - Bruce Lee would have been thrilled.

Thomas and Yuji killed this!

For a moment i thought Chozen was going to attack Terry after he took down the other senseis

Lol "karate teachers", not even senseis. Silver was very intrigued by seeing the offensive combat form of Miyagi-Do style karate. Also @ 3:16 , the framing of the scene is perfect, whether intentional or not. "Strike first, strike hard, no mercy". Chozen showed that when necesarry and provoked to war, Miyagi-Do style karate can accomplish all 3 of Cobra Kai's tenets, and still be on the right path, rather than the dark and hateful one. Miyagi was master of the peaceful, defensive form. Sato who taught Chozen, must've been a master of the offensive form. That's what sets Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai apart. Miyago-Do has both a war and peace form. Cobra Kai is a style "perpetually at war".

Wow....that was a complete ass kicking.

1:47 Terry should've said, "Whoever puts him down gets a big, fat bonus".

The title should've been named Chozen vs Mc Dojo senseis 😂👌🏻

This is seriously awesome, possibly the best scene of season 5

Terry Silver is a charismatic character. I like him. He's evil but it's part of the character. Thomas Ian Griffith is a great actor, a good martial artist and...is gorgeous. Even now with the white hair he is. I love him! ❤

Damn, Chozen just humbled Silver basically

how nice of Terry Silver to give everyone a free history lesson

Hope we get to see more of Chozen in season 6.

Anyone ever notice that when Chozen was surrounded by those clowns, once he realized he has to fight, when he took that deep breath, it's like David Banner transforming into the Hulk. Chozen went from the Zen Chozen of today to the bad boy Chozen of 1986. But he still had control. Mr. Miyagi has the same instinct. Chozen is the best practiitioner of Miyagi Do in the world. The one thing I would love to see in Chozen is him using the pressure point techniques on Silver

You can hear Sato in Chozen.

The only thing i could think of at the end of this scene was the meme from the Friday movie: "DAAAAAAAAAAMN!" 😂😂

Now for the day for Silver to find out LaRusso and Chozen’s history with one another from beginning to end.

The senseis must not have wanted the money bad enough. Chozen’s attacks were as accurate as pinch the wind pipe, along with the patience to know when to strike.

Chozen is a real bad ass!

I was fearing for Chozen’s life man. Despite him being capable against the other senseis, I was worried that Silver might interfere in the middle of it.

Chozen is a pure silent assassin…even in his maturer years. Had Terry silent shook 😂

That's what I call an intense warning! Bad ass scene, bad ass end dialogue!

Theyre not Karate teachers. They are "job applicants" according to what Terry told Amanda. 😂

How Silver thought any of these "sensei's" would stand a chance against Chozen is comical in itself!

Chozen is still undefeated in dojos

I still can't get enough of how he says "No challenge Miyagi Do"

Daniel once described Mr. Miyagi as the best friend he ever had. Based on this and several other moments last season I think it’s safe to say Chozen is a very close second.

I knew Terry would figure out the deception one way or another, classic Villans know how to stay ahead of the opposition

Love how silver just laughs sne smiles at hm

The fight scenes probably they will never win any awards but the nostalgia from growing up with the Karate Kid movies is priceless…

“You kwass line, you will beg for mercy.”

What probably terrifies Silver most about Chozen is that he's one of the few people he's met that can't be bought.

The music that plays after Chozen defeats Silvers sense I was so goddamn badass

I loved Chozen’s story arc. He’s the real deal.

"Chozen vs. Terry Silver"...even saying it sounds like something you'd see on a fan fiction website on a post that had zero replies before this series came around. Thank god for this show.

Favorite scene from the whole show and there has been a lot of good ones

An amazing fight one thing i love is the fake out he does at 2:50 chozen has come a long way it was great seeing him being on the right side

chozen felll right into what daniel warned him about

One of the best fights in Cobra Kai

This was a great scene 👏👊🔥

That guy in blue really sold it!

If i was a guy in blue gi, i wouldve just stayed down......

I love how Silver knew it was Chozen when he did a background check when he applied to be a sensei but makes up a long story instead

Don't ramp with Chozen simple as...man said no more sensais no more expansions 🔥👏🏾😅

Chozen did this in Karate Kid 2. I'm not surprised he could defeat them so easily as he's only gotten better.

He should have hired the instructor of Topanga karate to fight Chozen. These senseis were too young and didn't have enough experience.

What makes this series great is that they using all the original gangsters of the Karate kid franchise and makes the original all the more special. Thanks to the makers of the franchise for lighting up a childhood flame in our adulthood.

Chozen was a W character on this season of corba kai hes still the same guy but changed he learned discipline and respect

That was outstanding!!! Well done Chozen!

I love how all the moves here are from basic Goju-Ryu katas, like Gekisai. If you're as hard and as brutal as Chozen, that's all it takes to beat the pants off the local karate wannabes.

Chozen pulling off the Vader Force Choke 😂😂

If Thomas's hair was dark & slick like KK3, he wouldn't look a lot older than then. He kept himself in youthful shape. Cool how Yuji sounds like Uncle Sato here. Great tribute

Uncle Sato (RIP) is finally resting in peace and looking down proudly at his nephew for becaming the true wise warrior; willing to help a friend that was once a great en enemy.

Chozen became the new Mr miyagi

It would've been a better storyline if Chozen told Terry that he's from Okinawa and wants to get revenge on Daniel from dishonoring him from Karate Kid 2. That would've been more believable

"You cross line, you will beg for mercy"

I knew that "Karii " gave his identity away. Terry's too smart.

Silver- these are the best senseis in the valley. Chozen- wow... standards have really dropped nowadays haven't they?

It's funny, so many people when comparing Silver and Toguchi like to say "Chozen has been training his whole life". Silver has been training longer than Toguchi. In the flashback scene of a young Chozen it was dated 1972. In the original movie, Kreese was listed as the U.S. Army karate champion from 1970-72. That would mean that Silver and Kreese began around 1968-69. Meaning, they were training way before Toguchi started.

This season Will Smith definitely got his hands on everything and is doing his best to finish the series, but now. And that they had even talked about an eighth season. Thomas Ian Griffith and Yuji Okumoto the best of this season, performances that do convince 😶

You can see Silver taking notes & studying Chozen as he beat their asses. Maybe helped him in their fight to get some hits on Chozen before he was defeated. I think Silver really did want to have Sensei Joe as his right hand man & friend. All he wanted to do was get in the Sekai Taikai, but Daniel just had to play with fire

This is awesome!! Each sensi has different gi's and patches so I think that is maybe their different styles of karate. I think Chozen learned from other sensi's as well.

Once Terry learns about Daniel beating Chozen in a fight to the death as a teenager, especially after Daniel beats him in his dojo, Terry is going to go insane. He’s going to think Daniel has been playing him the whole time… evidence backing that Myagi kicked his ass
