Problem with the both of them is that their being hypocrites to each other; Johnny thinks that Daniel's methods are stupid compared to his even though he himself is lost in translation of what his trying to do while Daniel's impossibly high moral standard puts pressure not just to Johnny but their students as well, alienating those that can't conform but at the same time he himself can't live up to it. The writers really did their homework thoroughly in this season.

[@Haunter_Who88]

Funny enough is that Alli had made this obvious to the both of them- BOTH OF THEM. setted the record straight, and they still have that go over their heads, so it's a learning curve for them to actually learn and TRY to be on the same page.

And this just reinforced the fact Johnny and Daniel are STILL EQUAL fighters. Also The way Johnny countered Daniels pressure point strikes was so cool

[@Qabaqosain_mix]

Yeah he didn't panicked tbh I was surprised about that move

[@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08]

I think once Johnny learns the pressure point moves johnny will be a better fighter than Daniel. Johnny's just a much more naturally talented fighter than Daniel. As of now, they are even but only because of Daniels pressure point move

You can tell in this episode why Mr.Miyagi didnt teached the pressure points technique to Daniel , he is just using to win a dumb match when it only should be use on Life or Death situations .

Yeah seriously you can kill someone if you use that on the wrong part of the body

[@chavang3699]

Thats cuz johnny was ganna murder him lol

[@DavidJameson89]

Exactly. Mr. Miyagi knew it because he had to fight life or death fights. When he was no longer in that situation, he stopped using it. Furthermore, this fight was pointless and stupid. Daniel and Johnny should be beyond that.

[@TBoring]

If I were Daniel, after Amanda asked if there were anymore Cobra Kai people to worry about, I would be googling what Mike Barnes is up to, just to be on the safe side.

[@danielruiz8259]

I think the main issue with Daniel is that he believes that teaching agression means that one becomes a bully, thanks to his experiences in KK 3, so he doesn't want any of that and it's too into his own ways to allow a different approach to the Silver situation

[@radicalreactions1633]

And what Cobra Kai aka Johnny's teachings does, IN FACT, turn them into bullies so Daniel's justified.

[@hanziggy6862]

Daniel talks a lot about Myago-Do being defensive only, but some moves he's done on this show, including this episode and in previous episodes and previous seasons, have been offensive. The style of offense is just different from Johnny's. Also, to know how to counter-attack and also avoid getting hit, you need to know how to go on the defensive. So, Johnny knows how to defend too. So, deep down, they both must know the importance of both offensive and defensive fighting and it's not just 1 or the other. With this slow integration of the 2 styles & it seems the kids are starting to see the practicality of learning both, I wonder if the show will eventually start incorporating more MMA-style fighting too and not just traditional martial arts fighting, perhaps next season?? Johnny telling Miguel how he would fight Daniel and "take him to the mat" made me wonder if that was meant to be a hint toward MMA.

[@roronoauchiha69]

His first kick on the show.

[@semajbrown259]

Daniel using offensive moves could be because Silver taught him cobra Kai back in KK3 I believe.

[@hanziggy6862]

In my opinion, I would consider Mr. Miyagi helping protect Johnny from Kreese after the big tournament was going on the offense. I also would consider Daniel's Crane kick in the tournament or how he got himself and Kumiko away from Chozen in KK2 (using what Miyagi showed him before) as going on the offense. I would also say Chozen went on the offense when he and Daniel sparred against each other last season (and they both know Miyagi-Do). So, I think Daniel may be a bit mistaken that Mr. Miyagi would never approve of offensive moves, especially if it involves helping someone else, just like Daniel did to help Robbie against his former friends who stole all those wallets on the beach back in season 2. No martial artist should ever want to intentionally go out of their way to start a fight. But, if a fight ever does start, going on the offense could help end the fight before it ever gets out of hand. Daniel may need to learn you can go on the offense but not be a hothead about it.

@@adriennerobinson8984 I think Johnny was willing to learn tho as we saw him about to apologize before they fought I think Daniel is completely in the wrong here

[@adriennerobinson8984]

@@ashleydavis2124 Johnny was the one that suggested the rematch and the winner take over the dojo teaching only their way and didn't listen to Miguel when he said he wanted to learn Miyagi-do, plus he was getting jealous of Daniel and Miguel bonding. He did seem willing to sort it out before their match though. Daniel was willing to embrace Eagle Fang until Silver came back into the picture. I think he was thinking about the last time he embraced other teachings outside of Miyagi-do, it changed him in negative way and he was trying to overcompensate out of fear and just couldn't let go of the fact his way isn't the only right way. Again, they both needed to get over themselves to co-exist and listen to what the students wanted.

I don't blame Daniel for not trusting Silver after everything. He didn't seem all that sincere to me if he did, he wouldn't have called him an arrogant prick afterwards. There is something about Silver that still seems shady.

@@adriennerobinson8984 I agree with you. Also, Terry had at least 20 years to go to Daniel and apologise. If he had done it earlier and alone, it would have been more believable and Daniel's reaction would have been different. But Terry went there together with Kreese just to bring in unrest.

Also remember, Johnny hadn't practiced for years before the start of the series, where as Daniel taught Samantha and still regularly practiced, he was probably better than Johnny at the start of the series, the two didn't have a proper fight until the end of season two, yet I bet if Johnny had beat Daniel that early none of you would have complained about that inconsistency because Johnny is so "badass".
