How Mr. Miyagi Returns In Cobra Kai Season 6

welcome back everyone to a lore expanding Cobra Kai season 6 13 since the beginning Cobra Kai has neatly fit itself in with the established lore of the original four movies callbacks and references weren't just for Nostalgia but firmly placing the show in the Miyagi verse and expanding upon that Johnny and Daniel really do feel like these characters 30 years later that's same consistency applied to all the Legacy characters whether it's Ally or Jessica chosen or Mye bars grease shocked fans a little many thought his destitute story was an elaborate lie I correctly said it wasn't watch party is Right Terry silver also had a surprising St as twig who grew up to become the dominant billionaire karate badass of the valley more than the characters it's the idea behind the philosophies as well so despite no longer being with us Mr Miyaki has had the greatest expansion in the lore that further extends to all of Miyagi do we've learned several new moves and techniques he would have taught Daniel at some point over the years some moves we have yet to see and are definitely showing up in season 6 they also expanded other sides of Miyagi with an emphasis on his relationship with Yuki he loved her but refused to fly to okanawa and visit her instead opting to write letters it is touching at least but that's not the only lore that has been touched upon season 3 gave us a deep look at cree and Silver's backstory as well as the origins of Cobra Kai chis fell in love and went off to Vietnam to be a hero there things took a dark turn he was recruited by Captain Turner and started on a path to no mercy it changed him being in the cage and forced to fight Turner did him over for good he pushed all in eventually they got tattoos and open for business the most interesting piece of Cobra Kai lore however was still only hinted at in season 5 we got a flashback to C and silver training with Grandmaster Kim Sun young it was only a tease but as a guy who was originally a throwaway line in Kate Kid 3 then confirmed Med as real by Captain Turner he was now firmly established in the universe kimson young in his Way of the Fist is the anti Miyaki instead of balance and defense only he believed in Striking first in finishing off his enemies he had his dojang and taught his students but they were never numerous clearly cree and silver were his star pupes and sought to expand his teachings in America but in the end it passed mostly to his his family his granddaughter Kim daun is currently the one who most desires to expand the Way of the Fist worldwide this all begs the question what is to come in season 6 well we got an early answer from John herwitz in a recent Q&A when asked about the lore he said season 6 expands The Karate Kid Cobra Kai Universe more than the first five seasons combined the World building has been truly exhilarating excited for everyone to see the diversity of scenes we've been filming episode to episode we're going to so many new places in the Miyagi verse now John is a guy who doesn't give away a lot and technically he didn't give anything away here except that is a very rich and loaded statement that we can infer a lot from we need to take it line by line first off he says season 6 expands the me yagi verse more than the first five seasons combined considering every season expanded the universe in some meaningful way that is really a hell of a statement he doesn't qualify it or anything he asserts it outright that implies a lot of things the biggest of course is the history and lore of the two competing Styles Miagi do in The Way of the Fist if season 6 is expanding this more than the first five seasons combined there's got to be a lot to these both the first will be history while we got backstories of cre and silver we haven't gotten much new history in regards to the Arts themselves Daniel has repeated the story Mr Miyagi told him about the drunk fisherman who woke up in China maybe we'll actually see this as a flashback and perhaps only half the story has been told it's worth noting that this is an out of left field series Creator Robert Mark Cayman originally wanted Karate Kid 3 to be the story of shimpo Sensei who woke up in China I said I wanted to do something else I wanted to do a big Kung Fu epic the original story was Mr miyagi's ancestor got drunk in a boat and he ended up in China right a fisherman he ended up in China Sony had other ideas back then and she just she says listen I I need to put a slate together I need Karate Kid 3 and we have a script but it's terrible and Mr Miyagi sounds horrible and I want you to do it and I said don't I don't want to do this and she said I'll give you x amount of dollars but the story has always been there what what's stopping you from making that movie that you want to make with the Miyagi no comment no okay okay fair enough um can I just say one thing nothing clearly he had a lot of ideas enough to make a movie those ideas could easily be incorporated and put into season 6 it's not for nothing however while this is the well-known origin of Miyagi do what if there was another visitor in China that person was from Korea and was also learning these techniques there could be a hidden origin to caai as well perhaps the two visitors bonded but differed in philosophy eventually shampo Sensei left to return turned to okanawa out of frustration from a falling out with his former friend that friend returned to Korea now this is a slight variation on the historical origin of tangu do but it could fill out the history and lore of the series quite well it would tie the origin of the philosophies together in a new and interesting way but whether they go that far back we do have confirmation that they will be expanding the Cobra Kai philosophy at least Le to its modern Roots so while season 5 gave us the first glimpse of Grandmaster Kim Sun young the question has hung if that was it last November deadline reported that CS Lee had been cast to play the founder of The Way of the Fist watch party further reported that he would still be alive in the present day to provide a formidable a vill for the final season while this is all technically unconfirmed the launch video did show season six clips of Kim Sun Young's dojo we will likely get both flashbacks to its origin as well as modern training montages with the current students the question is what and how the lore will expand will we see a young Kim Sun young teach a young Captain Turner during the Korean war that moment marks the beginning of the line that leads to crease and Johnny and then even Miguel it's important and I think it will be in there at some point the next biggest question is if Kim Sun Young's Dojo was ever visited by Mr Miyagi or at least sat off the top I will say Sato is the most likely to have visited the Korean school we learned from chosen that sat knew Kim Young and hated him now it's also worth noting That season 5 gave us our first flashback with Sato one of my favorite standout performances by akiro katamura truly amazing the pieces are place to show sat visiting kimon Young's dojang perhaps as part of a karate exploration trip now at this time sat was focused on the aggressive side of Miyagi do the side Mr Miyagi wanted to leave behind you would think that would make him more receptive to Grandmaster Kim's teachings but apparently not I'm assuming any potential meeting here would have taken place before the events of Karate Kid 2 though that's not certain except the fact they have a young sat actor makes it more likely that is when such a scene would be set the other possibility is Mr Miyagi met Kim Sun young while there is nothing in established Cannon to suggest that the possibility is there though loose he didn't react to Terry silver mentioning him back in karate kit 3 but he certainly understood the danger of Cobra Kai they could backwards suggest that was because he understood the teachings all along but ultimately there is a massive opening in Mr miyagi's story in which he could have visited Korea and met Kim Sun young the question here is in order to film this they would have to cast a new younger Mr Miyagi would they do that perhaps it's not impossible this could all set up a potential spin-off series about Mr Miyagi it's not uncommon for a show's last season to set up the spin-off in this is a way to expand the lore and set up the Miyagi series but if we have Mr Miyaki and Kim Sun young together then there is only one thing the fans would want to see a fight such a battle would be the most epic show out in the entire Miyagi verse the two opposing forces facing off for the first time Kim Sun young is often described as the antim Miyaki and the only one potentially on his level I believe if such a fight were to happen kimson young may actually defeat Mr Miyagi it could be a cheap shot or Mr Miyagi takes a hit trying to protect someone else but in the end Master Kim Sun young is Victorious you remember the only time anyone landed a hit on byaki was in Karate Kid 2 when he was checking on Daniel ooh the biggest key is this line yeah but it wasn't like a problem I have right why fighting fighting same same yeah but you knew karate someone who always know more while a good line and decent life advice it could easily be placed in his life that one time he encountered someone who knew more someone who was even able to beat him the show has humanized Mr Miyagi in some important ways and perhaps one of the biggest ways to do that is to show that even he once lost the fight no one wins every time and for practical purposes there is no better way to establish Kim Sun young as the ultimate bad guy of the universe than to have him beat Mr Miagi yeah he may be very old in present day but if he can beat the unbeatable then who could ever stand against him the stakes are higher than ever ultimately John referred to the diversity of scenes they're filming episode to episode that definitely means they aren't stuck in one place or even one time the story has gone Global and across the decades Origins to Miyagi and kimson young could set up The Ultimate Showdown that is coming in a way a faceof against them could carry down to their successors Daniel and Johnny have been healing the rift the rift that perhaps began hundreds of years ago in China they are proof that the two sides can get along and can use karate to improve their life and the lives of others they are strong tough badass and have balance in life they can Channel their inner Vision like pruning a bonsai tree and they can make a mark and own a room by flipping the script I'm going to talk a little bit more about Kim Sun young and how he will ultimately play out in this story so be sure you're subscribed have a great day I'll see you at the next watch party
