Okinawa looks so different because he was in Hawaii in the old movie but he’s actually in Okinawa this time
Interesting.
@@britneyb6488 Yep. Just checked IMDb and the filming locations for KK2 were Oahu, Hawaii and Burbank, California. The beginning of the movie in Burbank and the rest in Oahu I assume.
Haha ain't that somethin', thanks for the fun fact
The new airport expansion is were Naha Air Base wss. I was stationed there.
@@calvinbowen3940 I was on Hansen myself
For those of us that grew up on KK I and II in the 80s, season III of Cobra Kai really tugs at your heartstrings. Kudos.
KK2 is my favorite movie of the trilogy and I wasn't even born yet when it came out
@@vgg31 bet s3 and the end of s4 were awesome...? 😎 Chozen in s5 should be epic!
@@SoberIrishman it was 👍🔥😎 Chozen is hilarious in s5, and I was crying watching episode 4 & 5 of s3
Spot on.
kadi
Omg, as an Asian American, even when I go back to Asia every few years, things feel like they change so much. This scene captures Daniel's shock so well as he tries to reconcile his vision of past Japan with the modern day!
I have always cherished Hokkaido and Okinawa more than the rest of Japan. I am heartbroken that Ainu and Ryukyuan cultures and languages are declining as a result of Japanese, American, and Russian colonialism.
Well, technically, Okinawa wasn't part of Japan until the 1890s. Prior to that it was an independent nation called the Ryukyu Kingdom, with its own language, culture, and history.
You should be 100% Asian
@@emisoranonimo3147 Who, exactly?
Don’t worry I’m also Asian American from a village where it still is the 80s
What I thought was great about this scene was it wasn’t only “Daniel” going back to Okinawa, it took us back as well. I was 7 when karate Kid 2 came out. It was my favorite movie for a long time, this scene took me back to that time , and made me feel like I was there with him in the past and present.
I agree 💯👍🏻 I was in my early teens when karate kid 2 came out. Thks definitely brings us all back.
It s an underrated movie in the trilogy the flashbacks do bring you back as a viewer
Me to. I was 10 years old when i saw the first karate kid in 1984.
I was three when the second one came out. While I knew of the movies, I never really got to see them in full until years later down the road, and was glad to got into them well in time for Cobra Kai for that matter too!
You can tell it s like a second home to Daniel cause he loved and respected Miyagi a lot
Just seeing those cute little girls laughing when Kumiko and Daniel said hi to each other was priceless.
The way the put the music from the second film into his memories is brilliant
What’s the song called ?
@@chillwolf914 it’s called funeral
They got Okinawa right this time. Not Hawaii. The scene with Daniel and Chozen overlooking the bay and islands is Ogimi Village. I go there almost every weekend to get away from "chaos". Great job on all the seasons so far, definitely this one.
It may sound disrespectful or whatever for saying this so sorry if it is, bit it always fascinates me that other people from across the whole world are watching the same thing. Like I'm assuming that your in/from Japan and therefore know of this place but, idk it just amazes me that someone like you who's so far away can kinda interact with me. And no I did not just join the internet like a week ago 😂😂😂 just always amazed lol
Yeah, even if the outdoor mall part was filmed in the States, with that being in Georgia like most of the show to be exact too.
So cool to think I actually had lunch with Yuji aka Chozen a few years prior to the series premiere. I’m glad he got to reprise that character. He was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I love this show
Did you win a competition?
@@britneyb6488 He lives in Seattle and owns a restaurant called Kona Kitchen. I was there visiting family in 2015. He signed my Karate Kid Nintendo game and joined us for lunch. He was so nice and told stories about the movie and his martial arts training. I’ll never forget that day.
@@joshhulbert7745 Yeah he visited my home once, I'm his neighbour and we invited him for dinner one time, he came by and told stories about the original movie and talked about how great Pat was in the role.
@@wolverineiscool7161 I went to school with him and had sleepovers and he used to tell me his dreams to one day star in movies and eventually a Netflix show, fond memories.
Sounds like Yuji is a really cool and approachable guy and loves to meet Karate Kid fans.
“You know,
when my father died, I spent a lot of time
thinking I wasn't such a great son.
Like maybe I could have listened more.
spent more time
with him together.
I felt so guilty...
Iike he did everything for me
and I didn't do anything for him.
Then one day I realized, I did the
greatest thing for him before he died.
I was there with him...
and I held his hand...
and I said good-bye.” - Daniel-San to Mr. Miyagi🥋 #TKK2 #1986
Why does everyone call him Daniel-San? He's not japanese and I'm assuming neither are you lmao
Only time LaRusso wasn’t a prick.
@Pers Unn Hey I'm just saying even people in the UK call him daniel-san like that's his name. It's a japanese thing. It'd be like calling everyone by their surname first
@Pers Unn 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not crying here, you're.....Shut up!!! dammit that dust in the wind got into my eyes tho!
If only miyagi is still alive and be part of the series
Maybe they will CGI Miyagi's face on Danny Devito's body. If Star Wars can, anyone can !
@Joel Lara I couldn’t think of anything more disrespectful
@Joel Lara nah that can't happen
@Big Guy shut up, NO WAY!
@Joel Lara your not funny
very emotional scene with music and everything. everything around him reminds him of Mr Myagi he's true friend, teacher and father figure. you can tell he misses him and needs him the most in his life.
Very much he loved and appreciated him
Eyes were sweating the entire time. They played the old music.
When Daniel said "this looks like the town that Time forgot" I couldn't help but think to myself and I'm sure the people that live there are just happy about that too.
Glad the crew and Daniel-San finally filmed the scene in Okinawa this time hehe! 😮⛩🎌
Jordan Schlansky approves too.
@@yakuza01 Time to DM Jordan hehe!
Bigger budget.
If I could go back to Okinawa, I would.
Well at least some (if not most) of them were still filmed in Georgia, but yeah.
When Daniel is in the cab remembering his first trip to Okinawa with Mr.Miyagi back in 86' that was so heartwarming.Brings back so many memories 😢.
A mall??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sato wasnt kidding around when he said he would rebuild Tome Village. Or should I say City of Tome now??
Who would have thought an ‘act of god’ would get that dream started.
Which makes me wonder if there truly is a Tome Village in real life, or whether it's a completely fictional village.
I like how that bartender told him, "you can still visit someone, even they are no longer with us", that's a good way to see things..
Yo it’s just crazy how Daniel knows he loves kumiko
Like think about it she was the only one who did not fight with him or judged him she was his soul mate
And she loves him you can see it when she says she never married
@Hell Sing probably a plot mistake tbh
@@bleeding4721 Just like Yukie
@@marcogiordano101 That's *Fucking* Crazy Man. Now that I think about it.
She doesn't know a *single* thread of his *culture* and not a single *iota* from his *native language* but she *can* see *right* through him.
In his *most* dire *need.*
Then to *Top* it off she *waited* 35 *Years* for him and You *would* only hear that *story* in Fucking *Unicorns.*

The *Fact* that he didn't *kiss* her was so *Heartbreaking* to see.
Yes. Ali wasn't genuinely in love with him and was pretty insensitive and inconsiderate. And Jessica was breadcrumbing and friendzoning him, before yelling at him for defending her in that nightclub
0:36 Song is The Funeral - Bill Conti Karate Kid Part 2
I find it kinda unbelievable that Daniel doesn't speak at least passable Japanese at this stage lol
Daniel was in Japan for 3 months. Basically his summer break. Miyagi didn't speak much Japanese because they were in the US.
@@rumblefish9 He's been to there a dozen times since then, so...... yeah it's expected of him to at least speak some but..... Showrunners don't want to hear everyone crying over reading subs all the time. That's why everyone is suddenly speaking english.
my whole moms side of the family is portugese, before the pandemic i would see my gramma like 2 times a week she only lives like 12-15 minutes away. theyve lived in US for 40 years, and still speak like mr miyagi, not really capable of saying full sentances lol. and i barely know any portugese, i can count to ten and say like 10 words. SO my point is, its kinda hard to learn a language
@@iswiftyfox8997 . . . as an adult.
its the heisei era
Cobra Kai is adept at allowing the the audience to vicariously feel the character’s yearning for the past and reluctance to accept the present. Whether it’s Daniel getting smacked in the face with reality, i.e. an upscale gentrified Okinawa mall or Johnny talking about how Sal’s burgers is the best because it’s the opposite of that trendy contemporary “veggie crap,” the show masterfully balances out all the inner tension.
Yeah, Chozen should have been waiting for him at the airport.....”COWARD”!!!!!!!!!
"Maybe trouble looking for YOU!!"
🤣🤣🤣
You had return Coward
@@thebandit0256 he was like you married wife? kids? Chozen reponse: No wife no kids😂
I wish they would have let this beautiful music from KK2 play for an additional 20 or 30 seconds or so while he was in the cab looking out at Okinawa. I love that music. Great scene.
I was happy that when he went into the taxi and told the driver to go to Tomi Village he understood where to go unlike in the original where the local people forgot it's name.
Tomi village has bustling economy now
unlike in the original where the local people forgot it's name."
--
Get your facts straight dumbass. They never asked the locals in the original kk2. They asked a couple of American soldiers and they didn't know until their superior told them they were "standing on it". An army based was put over the village, that's why no one knew about it.
@@taichisuzuki1207 you seem like a really chilled out kind of guy.
In the original, it wasn't the local people who forgot the name. It was the American Soldier who didn't know.
i cried so hard at this scene
Me too 😭😭😭
Hearing the music from karate kid part 2 really brought a tear to my eye...
@@brandoncastillo_05 karate kid two is honestly my favorite. so nostalgic to me (:
@@ielijxh2610 same here
Me too. So hard I'm not kidding 😭 this was the moment I knew I was going to cry so hard in episode 5 with those flashbacks from the movies and Pat Morita 😭 I lost it when Kumiko read Miyagi's letters 😭😭 and Chozen really changed, not forgetting the girl in Part II Karate Kid Daniel saved in the typhoon scene 😭😭
@@ielijxh2610 KK2 is my favorite too
I surprised Chozen didn't pick him up at the airport
Somethings have changed, Daniel-san. And some things have NOT!
Okinawa (not) very small place.... anymore
That would be hilarious
👍😆
Daniel would have been like: You still driving that beat up American car?
Part two has always been my favorite of the trilogy. Getting slightly misty hearing the music and seeing the sights.
Very few times in cinema and TV can you sense genuine emotion. This seemed so pure.
One of my favorite moments in Kobra Kai ❤️ I cry like a baby!!!
I spend one year in Okinawa in 76-77 while in the Marines at Camp Hansen….every now and then I travel my google world to check out Kim village. At lease that hasn’t changed much in 40 years. Okinawa is just beautiful!!
I was at Hansen from 2002-2003. What unit were you with at the time?
I was bauling like a baby after the Letter scene.
I cried when Kumiko admitted she never married like her aunt and for same reason cause she loves a man she can't have
@@bleeding4721 Same
So did I
@@bleeding4721 i hope Daniel rekindles things with Kumiko. I like Amanda but I've always wanted Daniel and Kumiko to get back together and get married. I still do.
@@dancastro6873 I Know right.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Miyagi
Wow Daniel arrives in Okinawa to see everything has changed since the last time he was there in 1985 Tomi Village where Mr. Miyagi was born is gone and now a Shopping Mall Center he reunites with both Kumiko and Chozen on his visit
Plus Yuna too! 😁
@@gtone339 yes ur right Daniel save her in 1985 during the typhoon storm in Okinawa she was happy to see him after 30 yrs for saving her life as a child now. Thank him by helping him save La Russo Auto Group cause she's Senior Vice President of Doyona of International Sales in Tokyo 🇯🇵 😁🎉🎊👍
@@javiercastillo7084 Daniel probably flew from Los Angeles, California, USA to Tokyo, Japan on Cathay Pacific Airways and then he and Yuna both flew from Tokyo to Okinawa and I can guess which airlines they flew from Tokyo to Okinawa. They probably flew from Tokyo to Okinawa on Japan Airlines. After all, Tokyo and Okinawa are both part of Japan and then they probably flew back from Okinawa to Tokyo on Japan Airlines and then just Daniel probably flew back from Tokyo to Los Angeles on Cathay Pacific Airways.
@javier Castillo weird.daniel gave the impression he been to Okinawa multiple times since kk2
Yep
The the nostalgia on this
Wow how times change, it's now a shopping center, Daniel looked like someone kicked him in the balls there.
The music.. the feels
He's like wtf a mall 😂
I get teary every time I watch this clip. Makes me think of the funeral of Miyagi father.
They just don't make powerful music like they used to for movies anymore sadly. Bill Conti did such an amazing job with the music in KK2. Moves me to tears.
Daniel reaction to seeing Tomi Village now is priceless 😂👋🏻
This scene and the letter had me speechless it felt like going to a time machine the flashback, the music it's like I was a little kid again the karate kid 2 was always my favorite growing up and I never even imagined seeing Ralph reprising his role as the karate kid let alone this.
That time when Tomi Village magically transformed into Underground Atlanta
*chef kiss y'all*
I love how they all remember in Technicolor...
I was honestly thinking the taxi driver was going to say, something's have changed, and something's have not.
I first thought the taxi driver was one of Chozens friends in KK2. Remember the one with the hat
@@s8567. someone said somewhere that it is him. I'll have to look at actors name to see if it is.
So feeling nostalgic seeing those flashback to 1986 scenes.
That OST man.
Karate kid Pt2 baby hehe!
I agree. Bill Conti's music in all 4 movies is very beautiful and spiritual
@@gtone339 I think the flashback scene when Daniel sees Kumiko is not in the KK2 ost
The music for the minute 1:56?
@@nishimuraidk1568 i wanna knowwwwwwwwwww
Nice to go back to places you have memories of but you can't relive them.
Cab driver didn’t know where he was going. Took him to American Village in Chatan. 😂😂
If Miyagi-Fang wins then everyone should celebrate in Okinawa.
In karate kid part II the airport was bad but now it got improve and i’m surprise the village has change.
Modern times = vast improvements hehe! 😁
Even the old airport was a vast improvement according to Mr. Miyagi. He left Okinawa on boat because an airport didn't even exist on the island at that time.
I was stationed on Okinawa in the early 70's. Many Tomi Villages then. Okinawa now looks very modern. Monorail, hydrafol boats and American Village where these scenes were filmed as well as the airport. The airport covers the base I was stationed at.
The airport in part 2 was just some building in LA I think. I could be wrong, but in this clip, it really looks like they filmed it at Kansai Airport (Osaka) this time.
I looked at it again and it looks like I'm wrong, but it sure reminded me of it, haha.
That just breaks my heart.... that town was so gorgeous and now it’s a tribute to capitalism 😢
It had to change. The village’s crops were dying out. The villagers had to make a tough choice. Either adapt to the evolving world or starve to death.
well the village was in Hawaii haha
@@Cha4k hahaha agree.
Lol and that’s such a bad thing because...? The village life probably wasn’t sustainable anymore and capitalism gave them new jobs, better homes, and probably an overall greater quality of living. Capitalism isn’t evil sis
@@saltycalmonds capitalism has good sides and bad sides but too much capitalism is evil
In hindsight should of have Daniel as a single dad in this series so he and Kumiko could be endgame. She really was the best woman for him out of all the movies.
Valerieburns0907
I'm agree with you
No, that would have been trite and stupid.
Maybe have Daniel as either divorced or never married.
True, he and Kumiko made a nice pair...in my Karate Kid storyline, Daniel is living back in Newark as an adult and is married to a Chinese-American woman, but they both keep in touch with Kumiko.
Ummm...no. Older Asian women are now targetted for Violence in America, and Daniel wouldnt be able to be at her side 24/7...she'd be safer in Okinawa....
Daniel's face when he sees the village hahaha 🤣
This is why i always be miyagi do karate and the story will always be around miyagi and daniel and not cobra kai for me!
U see my name lol
Thank you for saying that. Miyagi do never dies!
@@AM-be1ov Wax on Wax OFF
That’s the music played when Mr. Miyagi’s father died
Meanwhile Robby is being beaten up in jail corrupting his unstable mindset further.
Mehh - He deserved it . He's always been a prick
@@daveyboy_ well I tend to cut him some slack cause Johnny abandoned him and his moms a drug and sex addict, his only girlfriend cheated on him and never apologized for it. Daniel never taught Robby forgiveness or mercy and is constantly put down by the world much like his father.
@@masterzombie161 Is that why he lied and cheated and stole ? Damm , if i was ever in a group home i'd want you as my case worker .
@@daveyboy_ he did steal and stuff, but he never really hurt anybody by doing so. Daniel was supposed to guide him, but instead he let Robby down by not letting go of his hatred towards Johnny. Daniel has been a real piece of shit in this show cause all he does is judge people based on what they look like or a mistake they made and his daughter is the exact same way. Keep in mind that Tory hates Samantha (Daniels Daughter)because she was gonna rat her out over a god damn bottle of tequila, and automatically assumed Tory stole her mom’s wallet.
This why I tell kids to never Judge cause you never know when it will happen to you. Those who want respect, give respect.
Season 3 is my favorite. Though it often gets forgotten in the great series, but it's got some great nostalgia moments. Kumiko return, Mr. Miyagi's letter, Chozen and the honking, and the return of Ali with an I. Just a lot of unfinished business in this season. And Miguel recovering from the fight with the help of a Twisted Sister cameo. It also has Hawk beating up the fat annoying kid. Season 5 is also very good though.
Japan's changed a lot since the 1980s.
Cobra Kai never... My ass, KARATE KID NEVER DIES!
Daniel was surprised to see Tomi Village has changed so much since he went there with Mr. Miyagi to settle affairs with his father and with Sato in the 1980's.
Man that soundtrack is the one when the funeral of Miyagi's dad and when Daniel talked to him in the beach and consolate Miyagi :'(
Tomi Village Mall is Underground Atlanta, on the south side of it. The building behind Daniel when he gets out at Tomi Village is the old Coca-Cola Museum in downtown Atlanta. (1:30). The new one is north of Centennial Park.
So in Okinawa, where Tomi village is supposedly, there is an actual mall area called American Village. Not sure if there is a connection there, but cool
Yeah I didn’t like the way they put that together - it’s obvious an American mall - they should have just filmed something similar in Okinawa - but that may have required sending tamlyn tomita there too - $$$
Thank you for destroying the magic for us. I hope you're happy with yourself.
I cry of emotion. Karate kid my favorite movie 1-2-3
Flies from America all the way to Okinawa with only a small carry-on suitcase 😆
Actually, real Okinawa in 80s was already quite modern and sophisticated, there were many huge resort hotels. Remember, Okinawa is part of Japan.
Okinawa was not much different from other Japanese cities.
Very true. A lot of it was already quite modern by then no doubt,much like USA, Canada & Europe while still wisely & fortunately maintaining its classic ancient & priceless historical sites, villages, beaches & much more, forming a very unique & unbeatable awesome mix.
tommi village is a fictional place, so my guess is that they wanted to make a place where miyagi had a humble origin. Plus take a jab to capitalism, commenting on how much it can change a place from his true origins to the point its unrecognizable.
American Hollywood just had a bad habit of making non white countries ages behind what it actually was. I'm pretty sure Japan wasn't this archaic in the 80s, even in rural areas lol.
He's actually landing in Naha. I'm surprised they actually went back. I was born and raised out there.
Being a Marine stationed in Okinawa from 2007-2010 this scene of him arriving in Okinawa getting into a honcho really hits hard.
I remember taking a honcho to gate 2 or western world.
Looks like Sato didn’t keep his promise to Miyagi to preserve Tomei village. At least Kumiko explained that it helped people get jobs
Ah the flute. Brings back memories
Man i would love it visit Japan, cannot wait for pandemic to end
Same here. Was at Japan back in December 2018 & 1st week of January 2019. Wish Covid-19 disappears soon! 😁
When we're all vaccinated hopefully. Going to Japan is on my bucket list.
me too. I missed the chance when my friends went a few years ago. If you want history and scenery, Tokyo is not the place. Go to Kyoto. Get a Japan Rail Pass so you can go to Kyoto and Osaka. Hoping to do a Japanese curry pilgrimage when this whole covid19 is over.
So do I
At least we can look forward to watching coverage of the karate tournament at the Tokyo Olympics!
Amazing how little Okinawa looks like Oahu. XD There's a good reason why its so jarring to look at when he goes from riding in the cab to flashbacks from 2.
Oh I feel like crying.
This series really does a good job meshing the past movies
Cobra kai season 3 was the best
I could watch Daniel and Johnny in an original Karate kid continuing movie by itself and still be happy :)
1:39 My childhood is ruined :/ The Karate Kid films was my childhood
The actual place the second movie was filmed still looks the same today. These scenes were just filmed in Okinawa instead, while the movie filmed in Hawaii.
Laufield
another fun fact that scene right there at 1:39 that was really filmed in Japan, The creators of Cobra Kai actually went all out and filmed that in okinawa for real this time...
Laufield
If you really look at it, this is what's happening in Japan. Small cities having to adapt to commercialization in order to survive. Japan has many ghost towns because people have left to go to major cities. On the flipside, places like Tokyo are becoming overpopulated with rentals going up and up because of demand. Places like Aomori in Northern Japan have had to rely on the influx of tourist to keep going.
Okinawa is home to the largest US base in the Pacific so it really makes sense that there would be an influx of western shops and restaurants.
I love that they actually went to Okinawa to film this time. Kahalu‘u is beautiful but it’s definitely a different vibe from the real deal.
Cobra Kai is so great. I think even the taxi driver was the original taxi driver with Chozen from the 2nd movie
the only thing that was missing was the song glory of love. I was shocked they didnt play it.
Licensing fee mucho $$$
actually, KarateKid2's views and atmosphere in okinawa was like a 1940's and 50's okinawa. filmmakers only knows wartime okinawa
I’m sure it was said already but that driver was chozen buddy from Kk part 2- same hat
Such a great scene.
My old apartment in Okinawa is exactly where Tomi village would have been, right next to Kadena AB, and I have been to that mall!!!
What is the name of that mall? And most important, do they really have a Jersey Mike’s Subs?
@@StuUngar I’m 100% positive it’s underground Atlanta. It’s where the new masquerade is. The stage where they are dancing is right in front of the masquerade.
@@StuUngar Haven't been there in 10 years so I don't know about the Jersey Mike's, but the mall is in the southwest part of the Island; It's called Okinawa Outlet mall Ashibinaa (with 3 a's). Just south of the airport in Naha.
In the 90s I studied in the countryside of Japan. I cycled through narrow roads of rice fields being followed by bats. I was kept awake at night by the sounds of the frogs.
I came back there last year: shopping malls, high rise apartments and a ton of foreign tourists. I felt like Daniel too.
well, the great Dr. House once said it: "One of the great tragedies of life is that something always changes ..."
The village becoming a mall is the most realistic thing that has happened in this damn show
Daniel felt crushed when he saw the village was turned into a shopping mall lol killed all them memories he had from 1986
At least he was able to see once again the woman of his dreams.
Maravilloso ese reencuentro después de más de 30 años y que bien sigue luciendo el ahora señor Ralph makhio.
Part 2 of the karate kid my favorite one I was lowkey happy ad hell when he went back
Daniel reunite with Kumiko and Chozen
Love they actually went on location to film this.
The score of tkk 2 is so iconic. Never realized it until now
I feel emotion....i remember my first time in tokio....
It touches my heart. Old memories come again. Old crush.
Quem aí também voltou junto com o Daniel no tempo, que saudades 😏
Man I wish Pat Morita was younger he could’ve been alive to do some episodes in Cobra Kai!
Tears fill my eyes as I watch this.
man what a throwback
