Daniel: “Live or die, man?” Chozen: “Live.” Daniel: “WRONG.” [chops neck]

[@Sykroid]

"During the theatrical release of _Karate Kid 2_ in 1986, after Daniel's (Ralph Macchio) victory over Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) during a battle to the death, Daniel asks Chozen "Live or die, man?" Before Yuji could say his next line in the script ("Die"), Macchio immediately grabbed Yuji's head and viciously twisted, snapping his neck. Yuji was rushed off set where he was pronounced dead due to a severed brainstem. The scene was included in the theatrical release, being cited by Director John G Avildsen as "The best damn method acting I've ever seen."" "When questioned about his actions, Macchio said, "Karate works in mysterious ways" and then proceeded to hit the interviewer with a series of martial arts blows, sending them to the hospital. Ralph declined any further interviews."

[@thealetube3509]

Basically this is what happens to most of the characters in Cobra Kai. This is the main reason of his popularity right now. There are not 2 dimensioni characters. Some of them are pretty tipical and clichè, but they change in any time and in no time. You can expect a victim become a bully, and a bully become a hero. Example: in Season 1 we see LaRusso As a responsible family man and Lawrence As a middle age drunk lunatic. In season 5 It's the other way around(only in episode 5 though)

Daniel even says. "Why can't we just go home. I want to go home.." Of course he got to grow up in SoCal, which at that time would have been cool. Mr. Miyagi was his savior basically...helped him and even prevented him from taking a beating from Johnny and CO, the fence.. Miyagi-San took him under his wing, which is way more than vast majority of boys raised in single moms house get. But still this was the best of the Daniel-San movies...It is a "feel-good"movie of that era.

[@TheSoldier1984]

Ikr

[@BlueFox284]

In Karate Kid III Daniel was mentally unsound in his tournament fight with Barnes. Terry Silver had basically got in his head and began to turn him into someone he wasn't. When Daniel realized this, he didn't want to fight anymore as his head was filled with fear and self-doubt. Add Barnes being a vicious dick and relentlessly taunt and berate him during their match, that's a recipe for giving up. What makes Daniel look really weak was the writers having the new rule where the defending champion has a provisional spot in the final. Daniel got to sit his ass on the sidelines the entire tournament while Barnes had to fight through the competition.

[@aa-ze5cz]

I actually liked how both the actors played it up as being exhausted/tired, even very early on. They're kids/young adults. Real fists/kicks hurt when you're able to land em. It's a reason a lot of MMA fights that turn into a boxing match can go quick, because their gloves are far less padding than boxing which can only use punches. Today some of the fight scenes in movies/TV shows are RIDICULOUSLY long and overdone.

[@haywoodj]

Daniel didn't have Silver to fuck with his head in this movie. Daniel still had some composure left about himself while fighting Chozen; so he was able to fight a little braver. Unlike when he was scared against Barnes. However! I really thought Daniel was gonna die & that there wasn't gonna be a Karate Kid 3 after this movie, when I was young.

So that would imply that Chozen's feelings were real; he really did chase her around as a kid. If you watch KK2, the scene when he takes off his shirt and says "You keep for your collection", Kumiko gives him a look that suggests they were not always at odds with each other.

Some fans thought he committed suicide or either became a hermit. I'm glad that Cobra Kai brought his character back and shedded light on how his life has transformed compared to how he was in KK2. The Cobra Kai series gave us Karate Kid fans closure on what was one of the most brought up theories of the Karate Kid franchise.

Also, if Chozen and Kumiko chose to move out of Okinawa to the state of California where Daniel lives, maybe Daniel can give them a great car on a great discount since he's the owner as an Auto Detailer and he can tell Kumiko of job openings in dance schools in California and maybe he can help Chozen start his business as a karate instructor.

That's really accurate. Each antagonist (that wasn't a dojo owner) lost for a certain reason. Johnny lost because after he realized what Kreese had done to Daniel, he decided to let Daniel win the fight, (he would've easily blocked that kick otherwise, and probably would go on to win the match.) Chozen lost because his people sided against him. Barnes lost because he was so used to the advanced moves of Karate, that he didn't think about Daniel using kata, (he is a pretty stupid person in general.) These last two aren't even apart of the series, I just thought about putting them in. The antagonist in KK4 (The Next Karate Kid), Tommy, lost mainly because his karate was still premature. KK5's (Karate Kid 2010) antagonist, Cheng, lost because of plot armor, he is WAY better than Dre, Dre just pulled of a miracle to win the match.
