Season 6 "Cobra Kai" handle many, many, a lot stories. Of course, there was a big tournament in Karate of Sei Taikai, who brought the best dojos from all over the world to resolve the question of who is the best. There was also a question of Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) returns from shadows for one last malicious effort. At the same time, each character was dealing with their own up to karate the future and how much they needed Seikai Taikai, while Nyoni Lawrence (William Tooth) fought the news that he would be a father.

And in the middle of all this, there were also A mystery that includes the past of G -Din Miyagi (Morita's Road) That shook Daniel Laruso (Ralph McCio) in his core. This sub -proprietary was an unexpected and quite underestimated focus on all three parts of Season 6, with distracting Daniel obsessed with discovering what his old mentor was hiding from him and whether some mistakes as a young man could radically change who was Miyagi.

This culminated in Part 2 of the last season, returning Miyagi with the help of AI, a move that is repeated once again in Part 3, where Miyagi and Daniel together have one last scene. During his participation in the roundtable interview, McCio talked about what he wanted to learn something new about Laruso and asked the writers to pass something new from the character. For the last season, McCio had a new request.

"Can we find a place where we see Daniel and Miyagi in some way?" Said McCio. "I love that heroic moment where they are side by side in some way. How do we do it without using the image of G -Din Miyagi? And so, this is what they came up with, and it's all internal for Daniel Because it's all in his mind. "

The scene in the case takes place in episode 13 of Season 6 (or episode 3 of Part 3), in which Daniel has a dream where he and Miyagi face ghosts dressed as skeletons, just like the boys Cobra Kai in the original "karate Movie "Kid".

"We have to see the influence of G -Din Miyagi and focus on the good and give up any of the sharp edges that could be there, and looking at the truth of the core of the human being what it is, and pays that legacy Next, "explain McCio. "It was always important to me from the first day (G -Din Miyagi's character) is woven throughout the series. I have said the words how simply, "I can't do this show unless that character informs the story in some way. It wasn't an ultimatum, but it was pretty important to me on the edge before I jumped. "

/Film writer Pauli Poso wasn't so impressed by the stage and specifically called Miyagi Ai as the worst moment in the whole series. It's hard to disagree. When Miyagi appeared in Part 2 of Season 6, it was used effectively for a short and shocking moment, a nightmare for Daniel, after revealing that his old mentor and idol killed someone on the mattress in the previous fight in Sei Taikai. But the second AI -kimo is long and uncomfortable to see; It is a piece of wrong fans service and a weak attempt to create excitement for the said desire of the show Make a spin-off centered on Mr. Miyagi. Here we hope that never happens.
