“Cobra Kai” season 6 has tackled many, many, many, many Action lines. Of course there was the Big Sekai Taikai Karate tournament, which brought the best dojos from all over the world to solve the question of who is the best. There was also the matter of Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) comes back from the shadows to get a last malignant exertion. At the same time, every character dealt with their own fears about the future outside of karate and how much they needed the Seikai Taikai, while Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) fought with the news that he would be a father.
And in the middle of all of that was too A secret in which Mr. Miyagis (Pat Morita) is involved This shook Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) to his core. This subplot was an unexpected and rather overwhelming focus of all three parts of season 6, with a removed Daniel being obsessed with discovering what his old mentor hid from him and whether some mistakes as a young man could change radically, who was Miyagi .
This culminated in part 2 of last season and brought Miyagi back with AI, a movement that is repeated in Part 3, where Miyagi and Daniel have one last scene together. During a roundtable interviews /films, Macchio spoke about learning something new about Larusso and asking the authors to delete something new from the character. Macchio had a new request for the last season.
“Can we find a place where we see Daniel and Miyagi together in any way?” Said Macchio. “I want to do this hero moment in which they are in some way. How do we do it without using the Mr. Miyagi character? And that’s what they have come up with, and everything is internally for Daniel because It is because it’s all in his head.
Mr. Miyagi let go of Cobra Kai
The scene in question takes place in episode 13 of season 6 (or episode 3 of Part 3), in which Daniel has a dream in which he and Miyagi are opposed to spirits that are dressed as skeletons, just like the Cobra Kai Boys in the original “Karate Kid” film.
“We see the effects of Mr. Miyagi and the focus on the good and letting go of one of the sharp edges that could be there, and see the truth of the core of the man he was and paid for this heritage,” said Macchio. “It was always important to me from the first day that (the Mr. Miyagi) character was woven during the entire series. ‘It was not an ultimatum, but it was quite important for me before I came in.”
/Film author Pauli Poisuo was not so impressed by the scene and called out specifically The Miyagi Ai Cameo as the worst moment in the entire series. It is difficult to agree. When Miyagi appeared in part 2 of season 6, it was effectively used for a short and shocking moment, a nightmare for Daniel after he found that his old mentor and idol killed someone on the mat in an earlier fight against Sekai Taikai Taikai have. But the second Ki -Cameo is long and uncomfortable to watch; It is a piece of misguided fan service and a bad attempt to create a hype for the explained wish of the showrunners Make a spin-off that focuses on Mr. Miyagi. We hope that never happens.
