Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues - Johnny's Story

Product Information

Upon meeting LaRusso for the first time after his recovery in season 3, Miguel starts to see that they have more in common than he previously believed, and he begins to respect LaRusso and his methods, as well as his perspective in the rivalry with Johnny. He also learns about Mr. Miyagi, and expresses some regret that he was born too late to have become a student of Miyagi's, feeling he could have learned much, which Daniel appreciates. Daniel also gives his congratulations to Miguel for winning the last tournament by remarking "from one All-Valley champion to another". By the end of the season, Miguel trains at Miyagi-Do with the Miyagi Do's and Eagle Fang students, with both Daniel and Johnny as his co-senseis. Personality [ ] " They think they're entitled to victory because their way is "right" and our way is "wrong." But that's not how it works. There are no morals to the story, no happy endings. Life isn't a fairytale. It's a competitive sport. Right and wrong, there's no such thing. There are only winners and losers. Cobra Kai builds winners, because we're willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top." ― Silver to his former students [src] Lucille LaRusso got a new job in California.
