Plot
Decades after their fight at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, now middle-aged, are once again rivals in martial arts. During the filming of The Karate Kid, the late director John G. The crew behind Cobra Kai searched the studio’s archives and found a ton of never-before-seen clips to incorporate into the series in the form of flashbacks.

One of them features Zabka’s real mother, seen in the stands at various angles that remained unreleased until 2018. Many people believe that Miyagi’s name on his tombstone is a continuity error, as in Karate Kid 4 (1994), his name is given as Keisuke, but previously a sign held up for him by Chozen in Karate Kid 2 (1986) read Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept the name given to him previously.

However, it is also interesting to note that the name given in Karate Kid II was not Miyagi’s original first name. In Karate Kid (1984), Miyagi’s first name is briefly shown to be Hideo on Miyagi’s dog tag attached to the keys of the 1948 Ford that Daniel received for his birthday. I remember watching the Karate Kid movies as a kid and I can’t express enough how impressed and surprised I am by the quality of this series.
Great job, YouTube!
It successfully brings back the old «feel» of the movies while adding a new and complex storyline. It truly embodies the legacy of the rivalry while still reviving the spirit of the movies on an unprecedented scale. I can’t wait to see what they do in season 2.
