Remember to show mercy and keep all discussions civil. Please do not insult/disrespect anybody. UPDATED SEASON 4 DEMETRI VIDEO: ruclips.net/video/tFfXCPVSvlU/видео.html
I'm alot like Demetri about 2 hours ago from posting this I came across a gang of about 10 kids I was alone and knew that they were up to no good the " leader" said something to me and I said something back even tho he violated himself I used words much like Demetri so ye that was true have a nice day everyone
He had to learn the lesson the hard way when his best friend was beating the crap out of him. Don't rely on friends to protect you because a day may come where they become bitter enemies.
Interesting note, Demetri is probably the only character that is still friends with both Miguel and Robby since befriending them, he never had a falling out with either one of them.
I think that is the one dynamic that is overlooked and will be the catalyst to Robby's redemption...imagine if you will Demetri makes it to the finals (not such a wild theory) and Kreese lets history repeat and tells Robby to fight dirty against Demetri. Probably wont go well
Yes, I’ve heard some people online saying he should’ve apologized but he doesn’t hold grudges even after the mall fight he was still willing to talk to hawk, and he was very open hearted to him
I never found him annoying. In fact, he's one of the most realistic depictions of modern youth on the show. And now, most are rooting for him. I just hope he doesn't go astray. I doubt he will.
Same here, from the first season I related to Demitri quite a bit. I was a social outcast and lacked self-esteem. I tended to talk a lot to compensate as result. Despite this, people were still impressed with my brain smarts. Thanks to my studying various martial arts, I became a much stronger person and my peers stopped seeing me as a nerd. I really like that Demitri is so forgiving of everyone, in spite of the trouble he has encountered up to now. Plus, it was incredible seeing him perform the Kama Kata at the All-Valley Tournament in Season 4.
I remember not liking Demetri at first, I kinda thought he was annoying. But like literally every character in the show, the writers allowed him to grow and change and became one of my favorite characters.
I agree. One of my biggest reasons why Demetri is my favorite character is because of how relatable he was as a person. I was the awkward, neurotic and insecure nerd in high school and was something of a class clown.
When Demetri came on screen, I got: "Ya know, I'm something of an introvert myself." He's a lovable dork, I don't even get half the references he makes but it's still awesome.
I love this character because its almost literally one of my friends 😂 The way he talks, the way he has to correct something wrong someone said like the moment Demetri said to Johnny "Talk to the police!?" Even Demetri kinda looks like him, so the character of Demitri is 100% relatable 🤣
Couldn’t agree more. I loved his character development in Season 3. Best scene of his is from the last episode when he’s in favour of uniting both Eagle Fang and Miyagi Do dojo’s
He's really not likeable at all. People think they like him because he's the nerdy character but there is no redeeming quality about him. He's a cowardly, smart mouth, quitter, snowflakey baby. Him getting moon, plot. Beating hawk, plot.
We all have that one friend in our group who's like him. The one who's witty, talkative and nerdy. He's a bit annoying but let's be real, the show wouldn't be as funny w/o him. Great vid btw.
@@StryfetheWarrior when I saw it the first time I was like "YEEEAAAAHHH! LETS GO MY BOY!!!! HE'S GETTING IT!!!" All out loud and stuff. I get to into the show, it's such a good show lol.
Then again the beer pouring wasn't exactly uncalled for when you look at it from Hawk's point of view. Thanks to Johnny Hawk went from being quiet, scared, and weak to being strong, brave and confident. But all Demetri saw was what Kreesd had used Hawk's confidence to turn him into and used that to condemn Cobra Kai as a whole which to Hawk would've been an absolute insult
Yeah that was fucked up...there was no call for that...he was trying to start shit...so Demetri used his best weapon against him...long time friendship and his smartass mouth
@@charlieharcombe7585 i reckon cobra kai will break his arm. Then demetri will take his place in the tournament. Theres something unsettling when tory said "you better watch your back"
Maybe I'm not a genius like Demitri, but I can really relate to him, like the loyalty aspect and being seen as some "weird girl who can only talk abt her stans" i really like his character
I'm sorry, ain't no way you get to put hands on me and expect us to move on as friends after that. Especially breaking my arm?? Nah, forgiveness over time, yes but we'll never be friends again.
I will say that Hawk isn't going to get off scot free in Season 4 (or it would make sense to not let him get away with everything), I think he still has to answer for trashing Miyagi-Do previously and also the fact that he stole Mr. Miyagi's medal.
@@StryfetheWarrior Given the things Daniel banished Robby from Miyagi-Do and the dealership over (withholding that he's Johnny Lawrence's son, etc), the ball doesn't look very good in Hawk's court.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 Robby has done way worse things that Hawk did like stealing, drug using, not to mention he kicked Miguel over a railing(which dragged Daniel's family name, dealership and dojo through the mud) and yet Daniel still tried to help him by getting him a lighter sentence and offered him a place at Miyagi Do after he got released. Not to mention Daniel was willing to give Miguel a chance to show that he isn't a bad person.
Hawk: "How can you forgive me so easily? I thought you'd be furious with me." Demetri: "I was never angry with you. I was sad...because I was afraid you'd lost your way."
Same here! I'm interested to see how Hawk will have to face consequences for previous actions (Miyagi-Do dojo trashing), but regardless glad to see he and Demetri have made up.
I am excited to see Robby and Demetri meet again. He will be the one to make a Vader remark. Demetri will be the Myagi Fang pride having develop the farthest. Both Daniel and Johnny had been his Sensei. Daniel is obvious, and he will be more cooperative now that he knows what Johnny was talking about in season 1. I want your the best around playing with his victory against Kyler then loose against Robby while making side remarks calling him Anakin Skywalker. Hopefully that will help in Robby’s redemption. Also his asshole speech is what made the students work together.
Demetri is my favorite character. His humor is great, he's smart, I like the fact he joins Miyagi Do (my favorite dojo), and overall I really like him. They did a good job creating a character who is very cautious, stupidly funny, and pretty badass. And the actor just did an amazing job. Demetri is the best
@@StryfetheWarrior Yess! She begins as Mini-Amanda, goes rebel, then she is Daddy's tomboy again in the summer. Season three she wears something sleeveless, and feminine, but switches clothes as she fights her problems ... Her whole arc is mirrored in her clothes. She wears a pink dress to prom, going with Miguel, instead of her first signature blue.
I like how every video who's character arc involves Hawk, you're like "and Hawk says "Cool it with the nerd sh*t" so..." as a reference to parker yoo cobra kai YTPs.
I love Demetri because unlike the rest of the cast, he wasn’t amazing at karate from the start. Miguel, Sam, Robby, Hawk, and most of the others had natural talent and quickly became great fighters. However, Demetri was slower to learn, which seems to be a rare trait in media imo. As a fellow slow learner myself that scene where Daniel broke down the move for him and they practiced at a slower pace together was so great🥺
I actually did martial arts from age 6-18 which gave me a edge growing up with being a comic geek Which I applied the famous quote with great power must come great responsibility so has I grew up I was never afraid of anyone who tired to teased and now that Iam 28 I realized that Cobra Kai series reminded me embrace those skills now just like I hope one day to train someone my favorite character is Johnny
I can’t exactly say I relate to demitri because I was only bullied as a very young kid, I started training multiple martial arts after I turned 6 years old (Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Aikido, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, Ninjutsu Wing Shun and Kali) I worked out a lot and made me very athletic and I won quite a few tournaments and obviously because of my extensive martial arts knowledge no one bullied me by the time I was in highschool, I wasn’t popular or anything but my classmates did respect me, even the ones that were “bullies”.
Notice how every season someone affiliated with same gets in hurt badly by their rival in season one robby's arm was injured by miguel s2 miguel was put into a coma by robbie and in s3 demetris arm was broken by hawk aswell as every confrontation with cobra kai demetri does not want to solve the problem by violence demetri just wants to solve the problem at the soccer game demetri wants to do something about cobra kai because they beat nate up he never once thought about having a brawl with them it isn't until Sam persuades every miyagi-do at the game to fight when demetri participates and at the arcade when cobra kai was provoking chris at work it is sam's first idea to fight instead of resolving things peacefully demetri hesitates about the thought of fighting the cobras not because he is scared we have seen him show that he is by no means scared of hawk and his gang but it is sam who tells everyone to fight and it is sam who leaves the fight and hides when tory brings back up it is not until they are outnumbered when demetri struggles with the fight he is able to fend off every cobra in the arcade but is ultamately the last one standing as he is in the house fight in the result when it is demetri vs all the cobras hawk ends up pinning him down and breaking his arm
It’s funny how in each Season of Cobra Kai, my opinions on Demitri have evolved: Season 1: Didn’t like him Season 2: Annoying but is slowly growing on me Season 3: I think he’s funny
@@StryfetheWarrior Lol, Don’t Mind My Profile Pic, it’s a Picture of Me When I Was Like 11 and I Haven’t Changed it, I Probably Should Because it’s Pretty Weird 😂
Nobody phrased my thoughts about Demetri better than you did, besides, the message you give about the people who like you or not is really wholesome and helpful, great video!
Personal I think Demetri was kind of used to talk for Eli. I think Demetri made lot of choices for Eli that maybe Eli did not always agree with. Notice Eli first talks to Miguel at the Halloween dance. When Hawk shown up he wasnt sure how to react. So Demetri had lost the control of Eli.
I bonded hard with Hawk. I was bullied until the principal told me to fight back, he'd look the other way (can you imagine that happening today?) I started handing out bloody noses and found it was fun and effective. I did karate and boxing later in life, and immediately learned that the intensity of your repressed anger means nothing when someone's fighting back. It was fun to do and acquire skills , and it did earn me respect as an adult that I didn't have as a kid. Dmitri's (almost) continuous support and instant forgiveness shows an incredible strength of character that few could match.
Demitri is definitely one of my favorite characters in CK. My dude is sassy, smart, kind, forgiving, loyal, and brave enough to try. Unlike with Cobra Kai, where he at least had connections, Miyagi-Do was full of unknowns for him. He didn't know Sam personally, Daniel is a big shot business owner, plus Robby has a rivalry with Cobra Kai going back to the tournament, and Demitri is a known friend of Miguel and Hawk from school. He had no guarantees they would even take him, but he came anyway, and was able to be honest with Daniel about his motivations and struggles. No matter how long it takes him he always keeps going until he learns. He is observant and studious, even if he can't always copy right away. Not to mention he never holds a grudge! Even after gaining new friends with Chris and Sam and the other MDs, he tries to show Eli that he still wants his friendship too, and is willing to bury the hatchet until Eli shows his vindictiveness. And after Eli breaks his freaking arm, causing him excruciating physical pain (Demitri's least favorite type of pain), he still accepts Eli's apology and puts aside his more complicated feelings for later so they can finish the fight. He isn't perfect, but he certainly has a lot of qualities that are worth to be striven for.
Demetri is my favorite character in Team Miyagi-Do because he is the direct contrast of Eli/Hawk. He is legitimately the third strongest amongst Daniel's top students and only uses karate when there are no more options left like when he was cornered by Hawk. In Season 4, I think Demetri is going to be Daniel's second strongest fighter, next to none other than Sam of course, in the All Valley Tournament because Robby has switched sides in Season 3. I'm hoping that he will represent Miyagi-Do in the semifinals. As for who is the opponent he will be facing, my bets are either Miguel and Robby. If he will be matched up with Miguel and win their friendly match, Demetri will face Robby in the finals which means that he and Robby will have a similar fight that Johnny and Daniel had in the first movie and the one that Miguel and Robby had in Season 1 wherein the final match is between the stars of Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. Once Daniel will pass on his iconic headband to Demetri, he is truly the embodiment of Miyagi-Do's first rule: karate is for defense only.
Say what you want about Demetri but my man is such a good friend. He’s super supportive of all of his friends’ endeavours. Like he supported all of them in karate and in the all valley in season 1, despite not being in the sport
Even if you skimmed over it rather quickly, I'm glad you at least acknowledged that Demetri was jealous & unsupportive of Eli/Hawk after he gained confidence, popularity & a girlfriend. Something that significantly contributed to the rift in their friendship which is often completely overlooked by Demetri apologists. Demetri had "neurotic" passive aggressive "nerd bully" tendencies, which is why he and Yasmine deserve each other. They're the same person. Unlike Hawk, who constantly had to pay for his flaws the, narrative as thus far has given Demetri a pass for his own crappy behavior which he has never even acknowledged, let alone apologized for.
I try to be objective as I can with these videos, and offer a different perspective on characters, whether they are polarizing or almost completely hated. Sometimes things do get left out or skimmed over but it's not intentional as the last thing I want to do is be biased. It would make no sense to talk about a character without talking about their flaws; you can still like a character and be aware of their flaws/mistakes. I do my best to treat everyone the same and as much as I am huge fan of Johnny, Daniel, and Miguel, I called out their mistakes. Cobra Kai is a great show that really focuses on the "gray" of the situation, because both sides you want to cheer for but they also do questionable things at times, and that's ok. You can like one side or both.
@Ban this youtube this comment was pretty old but this was an interesting perspective of demetris character. Tho I think he's more of a snarky negative dude who expected people to follow by the book (cuz having that expectation is predictable instead of dealing with ppl who defy those expectations). Being somebody who's too logical at least formally, I see some of what demetris saying to logically make sense I.e why do karate when I have you, if someone is being violent towards u just call the police. Even that scene where he picks up chick's at the beach, he contailed off of cobra kais success without doing anything but at least he acknowledges that "I'm enjoying the gain without the pain". Even the shit he was saying before s1e5 makes logically sense even tho it stems from a negative mindset. You can say he's being resourceful in a sense, but this just makes sense logically. Overall, I didn't like he was passing up overall development for short term protection, cuz what if they're not around? He also expects ppl to follow by the book which is not how bullies work.
@Ban this youtube i think this makes him more realistic, as not everyone has the confidence to stand up for themselves. Really gives a lot of character depth to demetri
The ninja turtles of the cobra kai kids Miguel= leonardo Hawk= raphael Demetri=michelangelo Samantha=Donatello I just put samantha as Donatello cause her use with a bo staff
Demetri would definitely be Donatello for his intellect; I can see Samantha (though she's not the funniest of the crew) be somewhat of a Michelangelo because she does pop off with some quips at times
He started out as a spineless wimp. He forgave his old friend for his horrible actions, and gained confidence, and then scored his dream girl. Dude is a great character, and brilliantly portrayed by the actor.
Demetri is probably the character who best portrays Miyagi-Do’s principles, even down to the reason he joined (he didn’t even wanna get involved in karate Like That but he joined Miyagi-Do for self-defense) He’s the only one out of the main 6 teens who’ve never dabbled in the whole “strike first” methodology, and he’s the only one who’s never directly instigated a fight
8:00 that’s how he got lucky it was lucky placement the trophy case is what finished hawk off, also hawk was tired from fighting multiple other opponents and if it wasn’t for demetri’s luck a perfect example is the fact that hawk’s hits are strong enough to hit durable opponents like Miguel and Robby while demetri was whining about a splinter and hawk did land to hits on demetri so if hawk wasn’t tired his first punch would have finished demetri off
I actually jumped to my feet and cheered the first time I saw that scene! I also accidentally unplugged my headphones from my computer in the process! XD
Speech impediment. I've been trying to rework my speech so it's more clearer in videos. It's gotten better compared to my first videos but it still pops up at times
I love Dimitri because he’s so relatable, and is the most realistic character in the show, I did not really like him in season one, season two he got a little better, but in season three he was awesome. And he became one of my favorite characters.
Demetri was always my favourite character since S1 I feel bad that he gets all the hate, he went from a nerd to a badass in S3 I can’t wait for Demetri and Hawk/Eli do more binary brother duo against Kyler
One thing I appreciate about Demetri is that, of all the characters in the show, he’s the only one who uses his words like weapons. Not just for starting fight, but for avoiding them too.
Before s3 I was fighting for my life just to defend demetri because he reminded me of my self and he was and still an amazing character people refused to look into
As someone who was bullied, and had to learn to stand up for my self(which the self confidence came from martial arts) his character has always hit home with me. I was never popular but once i stood up for my self(never became physical thankfully) i at least wasn't constantly bullied. Probably not a stretch to say martial arts saved my life as i was in a bad place mentally until then
Demetri getting Yasmine after she fully admits to her wrongdoing in the past was one of the most immensely satisfying things I've seen in a while tbh. I really enjoyed how they showed this because it shows how anyone can change so long as they're given the chance and they take that chance to actively work on repairing the damage they've done before.
Demetri is the golden boy and my favorite character. In the first season, Demetri was suffering from a severe lack of confidence and was being picked on a lot, just like Eli and Miguel. However, while Miguel and Eli joined the Cobra Kai dojo and adopted many of Johnny Lawrence’s bad qualities and misguided teachings, Demetri stood up to Johnny, pointing out how rude it was to make fun of Eli’s appearance and leaving Cobra Kai, realising how bad it would be. In the finale of season 2, Demetri took sensei LaRusso’s advice to use physical violence as a last resort. He initially retreated during the West Valley brawl, only kicking Hawk into a trophy case when it was absolutely necessary. When Eli was in a slump, Demetri gave Eli the pep talk that he needed. This pep talk was so effective, that Eli did not return to Eagle Fang, he joined Miyagi-Do. Demetri used to be very awkward around the ladies, so much so that he felt awkward talking to his mother, now he is in a relationship with Yasmine. Demetri was an all around great guy, not only in season 4, but pretty much since the pilot episode.
Why is it that seeing this video again, and Demetri speech in episode 9, makes me wonder how season three would have change if Demetri met Robby in juvie? I mean I feel like it’s less likely to happen, but I am still wondering this somehow?
Why is it that, to me, their are some similarities between Demetri and Terry Silver? Similarly 1: Demetri makes fun of Hawk at Moons party, much like how Terry insulted the crane kick in karate kid 3 Similarity 2: Demetri gets a beer pour down on his head by Hawk at moons party, much like how Terry got a bucket of paint pour down on his head by Mr Myagi in there fight in karate kid 3 Similarly 3: Demetri gets his life save by Miguel a bunch of times, much like how Kreese would save Terry’s life a bunch of times in Vietnam Similarly 4: Demetri would try to comfort Hawk and tells him to let go of Moon because she has move on and they broken up, much like how Terry would pretend to help Daniel beat Mike Barns and teach him some of Cobra Kai style But that’s just me.
Hate him? Besides obviously Daniel and Johnny, my favorite of all the kids is Demitri. He's the most loyal friend of them all and kind of the voice of reason
Demetri has been one of my favorite characters since I first saw him in the series. He's very relatable for me because he's practically me if I had been a character in the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai universe when I was in high school. The only real difference, other than physical appearance and the era he grew up in (I was a high schooler in the late 1990s) is that he's more of a comic book nerd and I was more of a high fantasy nerd.
My problem with Dimitri is that he pulled his friend down rather than support his rising. He should have acknowledged the Hawk instead of trying to pin him down forever as Eli. Divulging his secrets was a cheap trick. What I like is that, in the binary brothers, Dimitri is the Zero.
My biggest concerns with Season 4 are more related to the guy from Kreese's unit in the military that he called at the end of the S3 finale. The guy who will "do anything" for Kreese. Two Characters from the past have been introduced. Daniel's Rival from Okinawa, and the guy from Kreese's unit. Given Kreese's penchant for "No Mercy" and the scope of the guy he's contacted. I'm expecting a death in S4.
@@roundtable3501 rewatched it last night. But I'm leaning more in the heavy emphasis on the military history and the statement. "I'll do anything for you"
i relate to that dude that just walked off when school fight started and we never saw him again(he was second plan character its likely you havent seen him and he wasnt part of any dojo too)
Remember to show mercy and keep all discussions civil. Please do not insult/disrespect anybody.

Demetri: "I was never angry with you. I was sad...because I was afraid you'd lost your way."
Still need to watch Avatar
Awww😍😍😍
😭😭 Bruh
i both hate and love demitri because i acted exactly like him in early high school
I will say that Demetri wasn't as cringe as I was back then 😬
When I was Demetri's age, I had all of Demetri's back traits and wish that I had more of Demetri's good traits.
It's so weird when you realize that demetri doesn't have a last name
It's probably kept hidden for good measure
@@StryfetheWarrior yeah what if it’s racist
@@indigo478 They're calling him Daniel LaRacist
It’s some Greek name
Demetri Rascalov?
Demetri Was My Favorite Because I’m Autistic And With The Whole Socializing Thing Was Understandable
I was also very bad with my own social skills for a good chunk of my life
@@StryfetheWarrior Yeah But I Heard Being An Adult Helps With The Socializing
Demetri had a lot of character growth in season 3 specifically. I’m very excited to see how things go for him and Hawk in season 4.
Same here! I'm interested to see how Hawk will have to face consequences for previous actions (Miyagi-Do dojo trashing), but regardless glad to see he and Demetri have made up.
I am excited to see Robby and Demetri meet again. He will be the one to make a Vader remark. Demetri will be the Myagi Fang pride having develop the farthest. Both Daniel and Johnny had been his Sensei. Daniel is obvious, and he will be more cooperative now that he knows what Johnny was talking about in season 1. I want your the best around playing with his victory against Kyler then loose against Robby while making side remarks calling him Anakin Skywalker. Hopefully that will help in Robby’s redemption.
Also his asshole speech is what made the students work together.
That would be cool. Demetri didn't interact with Robby at all in S3
@@StryfetheWarrior I can see him in season 4 “What is this, your Vader phase”
D:"Robby do you hate sand?"
R: "what are you talking about Demetri?"
D: "You tell me Anakin"
I can so see that
@@LeahWalentosky 😭😭😭😭
Kreese is definitely like Darth Vader; that much is obvious from the season 3 flash backs.
Demetri is awesome character ! I love that all he wants his best friend back.
@skylerloggins he did get his best friend back in season 3 when he joined the combined dojo with Johnny and Daniel as his teachers now.
Demetri is my favorite character. His humor is great, he's smart, I like the fact he joins Miyagi Do (my favorite dojo), and overall I really like him. They did a good job creating a character who is very cautious, stupidly funny, and pretty badass. And the actor just did an amazing job. Demetri is the best
You should do something about Sam's wardrobe choices and how they reflect her character arc, and more importantly, some of her relationships.
That could be a future video for all characters!
@@StryfetheWarrior Yess! She begins as Mini-Amanda, goes rebel, then she is Daddy's tomboy again in the summer. Season three she wears something sleeveless, and feminine, but switches clothes as she fights her problems ...
Her whole arc is mirrored in her clothes. She wears a pink dress to prom, going with Miguel, instead of her first signature blue.
I think the reason people don't like demetri the same as other characters is because out of all of them he's the most real of the cast
Agreed
no he aint.
Stick to your guns all you like, but being fatalistic doesn't make you real. It makes you weak.
@@Ozarka0???
Yep

I like how every video who's character arc involves Hawk, you're like "and Hawk says "Cool it with the nerd sh*t" so..." as a reference to parker yoo cobra kai YTPs.
Haha, I don't do it with just Hawk; Chozen too ;) Though yes I have seen the YTPs
Stryfe the Warrior, I was like Demetri back in high school so I can relate to him too. I wasn’t popular and I was nerd like Demetri and I still am.
Gotta embrace who you are
I love Demetri because unlike the rest of the cast, he wasn’t amazing at karate from the start. Miguel, Sam, Robby, Hawk, and most of the others had natural talent and quickly became great fighters. However, Demetri was slower to learn, which seems to be a rare trait in media imo. As a fellow slow learner myself that scene where Daniel broke down the move for him and they practiced at a slower pace together was so great🥺
Agreed. Definitely a bit more realism with his character
I like how Demitri still tried to forgive Hawk after the mall fight but it was the alcohol on the olive branch that was the last straw.
Agreed
Demetri is actually my favorite teen character of the show.
He's got his moments!
Great video on Demetri's character Arc.
Thank you so much!
I actually did martial arts from age 6-18 which gave me a edge growing up with being a comic geek Which I applied the famous quote with great power must come great responsibility so has I grew up I was never afraid of anyone who tired to teased and now that Iam 28 I realized that Cobra Kai series reminded me embrace those skills now just like I hope one day to train someone my favorite character is Johnny
Dimetri is my favourite character of the new generation.
robbys mine I like demetri too tho
0:02 Alexopoulos. It’s mentioned at the Tournament toward the end of Season 4 during his first fight; right before Hawk regains his confidence.
I can’t exactly say I relate to demitri because I was only bullied as a very young kid, I started training multiple martial arts after I turned 6 years old (Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Aikido, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, Ninjutsu Wing Shun and Kali) I worked out a lot and made me very athletic and I won quite a few tournaments and obviously because of my extensive martial arts knowledge no one bullied me by the time I was in highschool, I wasn’t popular or anything but my classmates did respect me, even the ones that were “bullies”.
that’s amazing man! Proud of you 💙
Notice how every season someone affiliated with same gets in hurt badly by their rival in season one robby's arm was injured by miguel s2 miguel was put into a coma by robbie and in s3 demetris arm was broken by hawk aswell as every confrontation with cobra kai demetri does not want to solve the problem by violence demetri just wants to solve the problem at the soccer game demetri wants to do something about cobra kai because they beat nate up he never once thought about having a brawl with them it isn't until Sam persuades every miyagi-do at the game to fight when demetri participates and at the arcade when cobra kai was provoking chris at work it is sam's first idea to fight instead of resolving things peacefully demetri hesitates about the thought of fighting the cobras not because he is scared we have seen him show that he is by no means scared of hawk and his gang but it is sam who tells everyone to fight and it is sam who leaves the fight and hides when tory brings back up it is not until they are outnumbered when demetri struggles with the fight he is able to fend off every cobra in the arcade but is ultamately the last one standing as he is in the house fight in the result when it is demetri vs all the cobras hawk ends up pinning him down and breaking his arm
.
I personally think sam is the least enjoyable character, and I didn't even notice everyone involved with sam gets hurt. Good eye man
i cant wait for season 4, so hyped
Sadly it starts this October or next October
Same here!
It’s funny how in each Season of Cobra Kai, my opinions on Demitri have evolved:
Season 1: Didn’t like him
Season 2: Annoying but is slowly growing on me
Season 3: I think he’s funny
Ngl same
Does anyone else notice that the only time we saw Hawk smile (shit eating grin style not just a sly cool guy smirk) was when he teamed up with Demetri
Hawk is Probably My Favorite Character, But I Relate Most to Demetri
I can see that
@@StryfetheWarrior Lol, Don’t Mind My Profile Pic, it’s a Picture of Me When I Was Like 11 and I Haven’t Changed it, I Probably Should Because it’s Pretty Weird 😂
Nobody phrased my thoughts about Demetri better than you did, besides, the message you give about the people who like you or not is really wholesome and helpful, great video!
Personal I think Demetri was kind of used to talk for Eli. I think Demetri made lot of choices for Eli that maybe Eli did not always agree with. Notice Eli first talks to Miguel at the Halloween dance. When Hawk shown up he wasnt sure how to react. So Demetri had lost the control of Eli.
Really been loving your videos lately,keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
His character development is my favorite
He's come a long way
I think we can all relate to him on some level, at some time
Agreed
loved the vid!
Thank you!
@@StryfetheWarrior Np!!!!
I bonded hard with Hawk. I was bullied until the principal told me to fight back, he'd look the other way (can you imagine that happening today?) I started handing out bloody noses and found it was fun and effective. I did karate and boxing later in life, and immediately learned that the intensity of your repressed anger means nothing when someone's fighting back. It was fun to do and acquire skills , and it did earn me respect as an adult that I didn't have as a kid. Dmitri's (almost) continuous support and instant forgiveness shows an incredible strength of character that few could match.
in one of the episodes it said his surname its Demetri Alexopoulos
Just like you brudda, I was once a Demitri too, well still kind of am in a way. Love your vids man!
Thank you so much!
Good shit as always brother
Thanks man!
The anecdote at the end earned you a like my friend!
Demitri is definitely one of my favorite characters in CK. My dude is sassy, smart, kind, forgiving, loyal, and brave enough to try. Unlike with Cobra Kai, where he at least had connections, Miyagi-Do was full of unknowns for him. He didn't know Sam personally, Daniel is a big shot business owner, plus Robby has a rivalry with Cobra Kai going back to the tournament, and Demitri is a known friend of Miguel and Hawk from school. He had no guarantees they would even take him, but he came anyway, and was able to be honest with Daniel about his motivations and struggles. No matter how long it takes him he always keeps going until he learns. He is observant and studious, even if he can't always copy right away. Not to mention he never holds a grudge! Even after gaining new friends with Chris and Sam and the other MDs, he tries to show Eli that he still wants his friendship too, and is willing to bury the hatchet until Eli shows his vindictiveness. And after Eli breaks his freaking arm, causing him excruciating physical pain (Demitri's least favorite type of pain), he still accepts Eli's apology and puts aside his more complicated feelings for later so they can finish the fight.
He isn't perfect, but he certainly has a lot of qualities that are worth to be striven for.
He did know Sam personally a little bit. He (along with Miguel) was a science project partner with her.
Great work 😎🥋
Thank you!
Demetri has always been my favorite character in the show
Demetri is my favorite character in Team Miyagi-Do because he is the direct contrast of Eli/Hawk. He is legitimately the third strongest amongst Daniel's top students and only uses karate when there are no more options left like when he was cornered by Hawk. In Season 4, I think Demetri is going to be Daniel's second strongest fighter, next to none other than Sam of course, in the All Valley Tournament because Robby has switched sides in Season 3. I'm hoping that he will represent Miyagi-Do in the semifinals. As for who is the opponent he will be facing, my bets are either Miguel and Robby.
If he will be matched up with Miguel and win their friendly match, Demetri will face Robby in the finals which means that he and Robby will have a similar fight that Johnny and Daniel had in the first movie and the one that Miguel and Robby had in Season 1 wherein the final match is between the stars of Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. Once Daniel will pass on his iconic headband to Demetri, he is truly the embodiment of Miyagi-Do's first rule: karate is for defense only.
I loved the part you speak about yourself, that takes courage and I respect you for that. Subbed.
Say what you want about Demetri but my man is such a good friend. He’s super supportive of all of his friends’ endeavours. Like he supported all of them in karate and in the all valley in season 1, despite not being in the sport
Even if you skimmed over it rather quickly, I'm glad you at least acknowledged that Demetri was jealous & unsupportive of Eli/Hawk after he gained confidence, popularity & a girlfriend. Something that significantly contributed to the rift in their friendship which is often completely overlooked by Demetri apologists. Demetri had "neurotic" passive aggressive "nerd bully" tendencies, which is why he and Yasmine deserve each other. They're the same person. Unlike Hawk, who constantly had to pay for his flaws the, narrative as thus far has given Demetri a pass for his own crappy behavior which he has never even acknowledged, let alone apologized for.
I try to be objective as I can with these videos, and offer a different perspective on characters, whether they are polarizing or almost completely hated. Sometimes things do get left out or skimmed over but it's not intentional as the last thing I want to do is be biased. It would make no sense to talk about a character without talking about their flaws; you can still like a character and be aware of their flaws/mistakes. I do my best to treat everyone the same and as much as I am huge fan of Johnny, Daniel, and Miguel, I called out their mistakes.
Cobra Kai is a great show that really focuses on the "gray" of the situation, because both sides you want to cheer for but they also do questionable things at times, and that's ok. You can like one side or both.
@Ban this youtube this comment was pretty old but this was an interesting perspective of demetris character. Tho I think he's more of a snarky negative dude who expected people to follow by the book (cuz having that expectation is predictable instead of dealing with ppl who defy those expectations). Being somebody who's too logical at least formally, I see some of what demetris saying to logically make sense I.e why do karate when I have you, if someone is being violent towards u just call the police. Even that scene where he picks up chick's at the beach, he contailed off of cobra kais success without doing anything but at least he acknowledges that "I'm enjoying the gain without the pain". Even the shit he was saying before s1e5 makes logically sense even tho it stems from a negative mindset. You can say he's being resourceful in a sense, but this just makes sense logically. Overall, I didn't like he was passing up overall development for short term protection, cuz what if they're not around? He also expects ppl to follow by the book which is not how bullies work.
@Ban this youtube i think this makes him more realistic, as not everyone has the confidence to stand up for themselves. Really gives a lot of character depth to demetri
Demitri's growth was the most fun for me to watch.
The ninja turtles of the cobra kai kids
Miguel= leonardo
Hawk= raphael
Demetri=michelangelo
Samantha=Donatello
I just put samantha as Donatello cause her use with a bo staff
But Dosent Tory use nunchucks like Michelangelo
@@Bruh-di1nh Yea but tory doesn't tell jokes
Demetri would definitely be Donatello for his intellect; I can see Samantha (though she's not the funniest of the crew) be somewhat of a Michelangelo because she does pop off with some quips at times
Perfect list
@@quinceorchard Tory isn't funny at all...maybe when she insisted melted ice cream was the best part....haha, Tory 😝
He started out as a spineless wimp. He forgave his old friend for his horrible actions, and gained confidence, and then scored his dream girl. Dude is a great character, and brilliantly portrayed by the actor.
Demetri is probably the character who best portrays Miyagi-Do’s principles, even down to the reason he joined (he didn’t even wanna get involved in karate Like That but he joined Miyagi-Do for self-defense)
He’s the only one out of the main 6 teens who’ve never dabbled in the whole “strike first” methodology, and he’s the only one who’s never directly instigated a fight
He had a lot of patience towards Hawk despite what he did to him.
8:00 that’s how he got lucky it was lucky placement the trophy case is what finished hawk off, also hawk was tired from fighting multiple other opponents and if it wasn’t for demetri’s luck a perfect example is the fact that hawk’s hits are strong enough to hit durable opponents like Miguel and Robby while demetri was whining about a splinter and hawk did land to hits on demetri so if hawk wasn’t tired his first punch would have finished demetri off
In your opinion
@@StryfetheWarrior and my opinion is correct
Opinion - "a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge."
aw heck yeah, homie, been waiting for this - our boy, our king, finally immortalized, finally understood. respect, man
freakin' loved it!!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Yeah...I was Dimitri too. You made good points and a good vid as always. 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
Am I the only one who was happy when he kick Hawk into a trophy case
I actually jumped to my feet and cheered the first time I saw that scene! I also accidentally unplugged my headphones from my computer in the process! XD
@@DamonNomad82 nice
I don’t recall demetri ever being the bully🤣
He said bullied but so fast. I had to check it myself.
@@augustinensang3109 but why would he say the in front of it
@@kevinschmidt2173 Yeah, would have made more sense to say the bully target.
Speech impediment. I've been trying to rework my speech so it's more clearer in videos. It's gotten better compared to my first videos but it still pops up at times
@@StryfetheWarrior Yeah I have a speech impediment too, wasn’t trying to offend u, just joking around, Great video btw👍
I love Dimitri because he’s so relatable, and is the most realistic character in the show, I did not really like him in season one, season two he got a little better, but in season three he was awesome. And he became one of my favorite characters.
Back in highschool I had a friend like dimitri, we played terraria lmao
Never played, heard good things about it
Demetri was always my favourite character since S1 I feel bad that he gets all the hate, he went from a nerd to a badass in S3 I can’t wait for Demetri and Hawk/Eli do more binary brother duo against Kyler
I would love to see that!
Don't worry, you'll get your chance.
Great character analysis
Thank you!
definitely grew on me as the series progressed
His last name is Alexopoulos. Season 4 episode, "The Rise." They announced his name, and it's on the wall list during the quarterfinals.
I've liked Demetri since the first time he appeared on screen. I'm just as sarcastic as he is, which is exactly why I like him.
Well said at the end .
One thing I appreciate about Demetri is that, of all the characters in the show, he’s the only one who uses his words like weapons. Not just for starting fight, but for avoiding them too.
Ayyy I love the vids
Thank you so much!
Before s3 I was fighting for my life just to defend demetri because he reminded me of my self and he was and still an amazing character people refused to look into
As someone who was bullied, and had to learn to stand up for my self(which the self confidence came from martial arts) his character has always hit home with me. I was never popular but once i stood up for my self(never became physical thankfully) i at least wasn't constantly bullied. Probably not a stretch to say martial arts saved my life as i was in a bad place mentally until then
Demetri getting Yasmine after she fully admits to her wrongdoing in the past was one of the most immensely satisfying things I've seen in a while tbh. I really enjoyed how they showed this because it shows how anyone can change so long as they're given the chance and they take that chance to actively work on repairing the damage they've done before.
That speech about yourslef at the end just earned my sub
How do you come up with this stuff?👌👍😁❤
I try to be as neutral as I can be and approach the characters from a different angle.
Demetri is the golden boy and my favorite character.
In the first season, Demetri was suffering from a severe lack of confidence and was being picked on a lot, just like Eli and Miguel. However, while Miguel and Eli joined the Cobra Kai dojo and adopted many of Johnny Lawrence’s bad qualities and misguided teachings, Demetri stood up to Johnny, pointing out how rude it was to make fun of Eli’s appearance and leaving Cobra Kai, realising how bad it would be.
In the finale of season 2, Demetri took sensei LaRusso’s advice to use physical violence as a last resort. He initially retreated during the West Valley brawl, only kicking Hawk into a trophy case when it was absolutely necessary.
When Eli was in a slump, Demetri gave Eli the pep talk that he needed. This pep talk was so effective, that Eli did not return to Eagle Fang, he joined Miyagi-Do. Demetri used to be very awkward around the ladies, so much so that he felt awkward talking to his mother, now he is in a relationship with Yasmine. Demetri was an all around great guy, not only in season 4, but pretty much since the pilot episode.
M glad someone gave demitri importance 🔥🔥💯
Glad you enjoyed it!
Why is it that seeing this video again, and Demetri speech in episode 9, makes me wonder how season three would have change if Demetri met Robby in juvie? I mean I feel like it’s less likely to happen, but I am still wondering this somehow?
That was a theory someone else had posted in the comment that a 'Darth Vader' comment from Demetri could get through to Robby
Why is it that, to me, their are some similarities between Demetri and Terry Silver?
Similarly 1: Demetri makes fun of Hawk at Moons party, much like how Terry insulted the crane kick in karate kid 3
Similarity 2: Demetri gets a beer pour down on his head by Hawk at moons party, much like how Terry got a bucket of paint pour down on his head by Mr Myagi in there fight in karate kid 3
Similarly 3: Demetri gets his life save by Miguel a bunch of times, much like how Kreese would save Terry’s life a bunch of times in Vietnam
Similarly 4: Demetri would try to comfort Hawk and tells him to let go of Moon because she has move on and they broken up, much like how Terry would pretend to help Daniel beat Mike Barns and teach him some of Cobra Kai style
But that’s just me.
This guy should have at least 1 million subscribers
1 million isn't good enough, he needs to have 100 million
Demetri is personally my favourite character
He's not a bad character!
11:30 every One in this world is like Demitri!
Could be
Hate him? Besides obviously Daniel and Johnny, my favorite of all the kids is Demitri. He's the most loyal friend of them all and kind of the voice of reason
He did so well in the all valley, so proud of him!
Demetri has been one of my favorite characters since I first saw him in the series. He's very relatable for me because he's practically me if I had been a character in the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai universe when I was in high school. The only real difference, other than physical appearance and the era he grew up in (I was a high schooler in the late 1990s) is that he's more of a comic book nerd and I was more of a high fantasy nerd.
My problem with Dimitri is that he pulled his friend down rather than support his rising.
He should have acknowledged the Hawk instead of trying to pin him down forever as Eli.
Divulging his secrets was a cheap trick. What I like is that, in the binary brothers, Dimitri is the Zero.
Demetri is probaly the character who has like the most common sense
My biggest concerns with Season 4 are more related to the guy from Kreese's unit in the military that he called at the end of the S3 finale. The guy who will "do anything" for Kreese. Two Characters from the past have been introduced. Daniel's Rival from Okinawa, and the guy from Kreese's unit.
Given Kreese's penchant for "No Mercy" and the scope of the guy he's contacted. I'm expecting a death in S4.
@Aeon Stryfe
You mean terry silver lol?!
Have you seen the karate kid 3?
@@roundtable3501 rewatched it last night. But I'm leaning more in the heavy emphasis on the military history and the statement. "I'll do anything for you"
Only time will tell
i relate to that dude that just walked off when school fight started and we never saw him again(he was second plan character its likely you havent seen him and he wasnt part of any dojo too)
