About redemption: Thought for a possible future scenario of Cobra Kai: Since Miguel and Hawk are All Valley Champs now, Robby will end like Daniel in 1985, in a life and death fight. And when he is almost death, like Sato, Yuki and Miyagi stood there back in the day, this time Chozen, Kumiko and Daniel would stand there, Daniel and Chozen with the drum in their hands, giving Robby his final instruction how to survive. This would be the ultimate redemption for Chozen, and it would be simply such a fantastic thing if a technique from Miyagi-Do Karate saves the life of Johnny Lawrence s son years later. And the drum technique wasnt used in Cobra Kai yet, maybe there is a reason for and they saved it for later.

[@MaximusMeridiusDK]

One of my favorite parts of this is, that even after being "humiliated", the first thing Daniel does, when realizing he DOESN'T know ALL of Miyagi-Do Karate, is to ask his old enemy if he will teach him. The level of respect and willingness not just to learn, but realize you don't know everything is just great. It really says a lot about Daniels character. He is a true student of Miyagi-Do, and as soon as he finds out there is more to learn, he is willing to be taught, even by Chozen.

[@jojokazuma3902]

@@michaelbull4344 In several cases over the course of the show, Daniel showed nothing but sheer ignorance and disapproval on different takes of karate, even Cobra Kai and Eagle Fang. He ever got pass through all that just by accepting that he could learn better outside of Miyagi Do because he shattered his own ego to let the students learn both styles. Not really saying Daniel isn't humble, he just needs to learn to be in someone's shoes and use that to get even stronger. Going towards Season 5, he has improved on an unrivaled level by using both Miyagi Do and Silver's Quicksilver method, as well as Eagle Fang's offense. Overall, he can do so much more, at the end, he just needs to open up more to other styles.

[@wymg4480]

"Defense takes on many forms" Such a great line and it teaches Daniel that Miyagi Do was more than just self defense. Of all the KK characters, Chozen was the only one that outgrew his issues in the past.

Miyagi was right in not teaching Daniel the more aggressive style of Miyagi-do. He was a massive hothead as a teenager, and Terry Silver used that to briefly corrupt Daniel teaching him Cobra Kai. The series does a great job showing when you teach bullied adolescents martial arts, if they are not mentally mature they will turn around and become bullies themselves.

[@Aj-wq3jn]

If miyagi taught Daniel this technique in anger he might killed Johnny and mike

[@ronaldshank7589]

I have to admit, though-It was absolutely, and insanely, brilliant, to see Daniel Larusso defeat Terry Silver, with what Terry Silver taught him in the past. 1:If an opponent can't see, he can't fight. 2:If an opponent can't breathe, he can't fight. 3:If an opponent can't stand, he can't fight. Daniel Larusso is a quick learner, and a very skilled fighter. He also retains knowledge from different sources... even from Terry Silver himself! Daniel Larusso, defeating Terry Silver, with the very things that Terry Silver taught him, is sheer brilliance. I guess that Terry Silver never saw those things coming! Defeating an enemy with their own techniques, is one of the best forms of revenge!

I think that's where Miyagi had a flaw in his "defense only" philosophy. In Part III he tells Daniel that eventually he would forge his own path as a martial artist. Now it took Daniel over 35 years to realize this and let his daughter forge her own path, but I digress. The flaw in Miyagi's teaching is how can he expect his students to choose their path or even continue his teachings if they're only equipped with part of the Miyagi-Do system? Miyagi being a pacifist, kind of stunts the growth of his students with his philosophy. Despite his best intentions.

[@ace9924]

@@TRivera13 the whole point of the rules of miyagi do were to realize that karate is about defense but that defense takes on many forms even offense. Mr miyagi gave daniel a base in defense so he has something to stand on as he progresses as a martial artist.

@@TRivera13 He clearly wasn't a pacifist because he engaged in self-defense, he only exposed to the defensive aspect of Karate because he felt Daniel was not ready to learn the offensive aspect of Miyagi-do because the offensive techniques can be abused and people could use it in situations where it is uncalled for. Miyagi clearly knew Daniel was not mature enough to handle the fullness of Miyagi-do because if he did Daniel would abuse it. Just look at season 4 how Daniel decided to use that technique against Johnny to gain control of the whole dojo. It was petty. Miyagi would have been a bad teacher if he had completely hidden the offensive elements or forbade Daniel from using offensive techniques completely, but he told him that there isn't only one way and he has to forge his own path and fight by being himself not what people tell him to do.

Chozen stole the whole show...I'm 35 years old and damn his character made my tear up...

[@rastaewabeach]

2:31 when chozen fixed his gee together. I felt that. Like finally getting your revenge.

[@leonardoreyes1697]

Chozen was easily the best part of season 5, this was just a glimpse.

[@littlemiho6208]

When a enemy who claims to be friends now teach you deadly secret arts, then you know your enemy now trusts you and sees you as an equal.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Chozen also saw the sheer potential in Daniel, and, deep in his heart, he wanted to make things right between them. He finally apologized, and, thankfully, Daniel accepted his apology. Daniel wasn't the only one, that learned something new that day. Chozen learned, also, that Daniel was still willing to forgive and forget the past. That takes determination and strength, to forgive someone for their past wrongs.

[@bkmeahan]

Just finished season 5. Chosen was by far the best character in the series. And Yuji Okumoto was fantastic in the role.

[@Mr.Tin_88]

2:52 From that moment, we all love Chozen

[@sebastianhurtado3795]

After this fight and the season 4 I want to see Terry vs Chozen

[@johnangelovillanueva1702]

Same here!

[@wednesdayschild3627]

I bet Chozen shows Anthony the real Miagi karate.

[@AyushKumar-pz1nn]

Happens In Season 5 😎

[@johnangelovillanueva1702]

@@wednesdayschild3627 I wish Chozen will discipline Anthony.

[@monschronicles9569]

or Chosen vs Lawrence that would be awesome

[@TheClubJoe]

This show would not have been the same without the original actors. Glad they're still alive

[@alexis5878]

03:03 the young Chozen back in his face!

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Man Chozen has changed so much since here. I think one of the funniest scenes of the franchise has gotta be Daniel, Johnny and Chozen singing Eye of the Tiger together in the back of that limo!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

Brilliant writing and character construction. So much fun as a fan. It is real life. You think you know until you hit your 'stupid me' moment and discover an entire universe outside of yourself. Again..brilliant!

[@GoodHunter9]

3:21 Chozen's warm smile here is infectious.

[@jimthompson8947]

3:27 - "Sorry dishonored Daniel-san, a coffee cup has no pressure points." (Reference to Daniel's pride kicking a beverage from an antagonizers hand)

[@bw2569]

Chozen is so friggin' cool.

[@michaelrichards2507]

Has anyone gone from hated to beloved as much as Chozen? We built up 30 years of hate.

[@HighlightArchives]

Bringing Chozen back was a big brain decision

[@robertlee8400]

Now that Chosen is older I think he now knows that’s Daniel was really on his side all along , it was a war between Miyagi and Sato over a girl way back in the day , both Daniel & Chosen just inherited their war from both of them .

[@alanaspinall7147]

I love how he became a better man, ane he's one of the best characters in the show😊

[@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart]

They really nailed this series. Its almost unbelievable.

[@supersonic249]

Up until S5 and s6 I would agree.

[@750turbo86]

Chozen had the Greatest laugh at that moment 😂

[@POSITIVE_TALKS24]

“You should have seen your face, wooo ohh” 😂😂😂

[@brute5040]

2:51 🤣🤣🤣

[@RandyRoughton]

I never would have imagined the Chozen of KK2 would become one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise three decades later.

[@contrablast81]

This is BY FAR my favorite moment in all of the Cobra Kai series.

[@Glo300-d5i]

I love the smile on chosens face whem Daniel san asked him to teach him . He was trully honored that his rival asked him for lessons

[@anirbanguha4593]

Daniel - yOu SuRe ThAt WaS mIyAgI dO kArAtE !? Chozen - Hai. Gonna cry?

[@StepUpMedia039]

Its so awesome how this series gave us Daniel's 3 main foes of the films and made us love all 3. I even think Kreese had a cool redemption and backstory too.

[@Aj-wq3jn]

Everyone was waiting chozen to use this technique on silver in season 5

[@bradd9326]

Biggest difference between the fight now, and in the past, Chozen is more focused. He's able to make best use of his technique.

[@paulkersey1007]

Chozen is clearly the true descendant of Miyagi Do because he was the most consistent practitioner. However, I believe Sato and Mr. Miyagi are proud of Daniel and Chozen. This was one of the most valuable lessons in Miyagi Do: If an enemy insists on war, then you take away their ability to wage it.

[@tomkehoe6392]

Pivotal part of the series IMO. Chozen now has a personality and is much deeper than the external shell we've seen in the past. Dude acted these scenes perfectly and it's great to have him as the dark horse vs Silver!

[@RoxxaneDuck007]

my dad goes crazy for 70s movies predator rambo rocky alien 2 , listening to rod stewart and just driving fast small things like these makes it great

[@awabbelghith2885]

Now miyagi do has a powerful ally

[@dolanpls3330]

Chozen, Kreese, and Johnny ended up being my favorite characters. How did they all become so lovable and iconic? Seriously they went above and beyond for the villains, it helps they got the original actors too.

[@danr2652]

This and when he gave Daniel the scroll and said. "You keep for your collection" This series has some Nostalgic creativity

[@dcram76]

This is why Cobra Kai gave me a strong sense of closure.
