For the past 15 years or dominated by heritage sequels, films that return the desired franchises with stories that land somewhere between restarting, sequel and remake. Outside the group, Cobra Kai is one of the best. From the moment First season premiere of unstable red platform YouTube"Cobra Kai" has been able to point out that it is not just a continuation of the story of Johnoni Lawrence (William Tekka) at the top of the new generation of children, but also a pretty good pseudo-remake of the original "Karate Child" films.

After all, the story of Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) repeatedly repeated that of Daniel Laruso (Ralph McCio) in the first film, but with a twist. Like Daniel, Miguel is a new child in a karate city to defend himself from thugs and gain confidence, enters a tournament and uses a crane to win the hearts of all (and trophy). The difference is that Miguel won the tournament as part of Cobra Kai, not Miyagi-Do.

Since then, "Cobra Kai" has referred to virtually every main character, event, iconic moment, and even Mem of not only the first film, but also the whole original trilogy. Now the series now Netflix has returned the characters as unforgettable as Johnon Crayse (Martin Quove) and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) and small as Dennis de Guzman (William Christopher Ford) from "Karate Child Part III" and hero From the "karate child part II".

During the six seasons of the show, there was a huge reference that Cobra Kai somehow avoided. Despite paying tribute to the original film soundtrack in 1984, for example, by Carrie Underwood covering "That's the Moment of Truth" in Season 4 or Naming an episode after the song "Part II" Glory to the Wall ", "Cobra Kai" has never touched the most iconic song of the original film: "Youo Esposito" "You're the Best" (written by Bill and Verses by Ale Willis).

It is the central part of the "karate child", and the song is that it is played during the editing showing Daniel's progress progressing through the karate tournament throughout the Valley. It is a fantastic song for which the Cobra Kai show alluded and spoke for years. In the last episode of the show, at the time of truth, that song finally returned around, and could not be more perfect.

The song comes in the latest episode of the season, as Johnoni Lawrence is preparing to fight against the last round of Seikai Taikai-not as part of Miyagi-Do, but as Cobra Kai's senses. Fearing and without much self -confidence that he can win, Daniel tells Nyoni about his favorite sports movie "Hero Rocky", who - despite going to funny places in the third and fourth films - actually lost his great fight in the first movie. This motivates Johnoni, who goes to training with Daniel to teach him.

That's the way, "You're the Best Around" playing a training editing directly from Rocky III, where Nyoni is Rocky, and Daniel is Apollo Creed, and two former rivals are now working together. The two are dealing with boxing shades on the beach like the two boxers and even making the crane -the log stands. There is also a fun moment when Johnoni and Daniel run through the streets of Ennino surrounded by a bunch of children like Rocky II's training.

Honestly, this is one of the best references the show has done, specifically because of The history between the two franchisesEspecially "karate child" and "Rocky III". You see, "Bill Conti" and "Eso Esposito" "You are the best around" originally needed to be used in "Rocky III", which made sense as Conti achieved the first three films in that franchise. After all, the song was lifted in favor of Survivor's "eye of the tiger".

But out of it just looked cool, the use of the song in this particular scene works because it is a culmination of six seasons (and film) worth a common history between Nyoni and Daniel. After seasons of quarrels and fights, the two have finally become friends, co -workers and even partners this season. Not only that, it is a moment of pure respect that comes after Daniel encourages Johnoni to return Cobra Kai, and even helps him restore his space for dojo. That Daniel now serves as a teacher of Nyoni feels like passing the torch, such as Apollo Training Rocky (if Rocky was actually a world champion before Apollo beat him in the first film).
