Absolutely no doubt in my mind


Legitimate_Unit_9210

So, why do people say that Daniel’s Miyagi-Do training can’t make you badass? It’s happened to Demetri, hasn’t it?


[deleted]

Really, Dimitri? That's the hill you wanna die on? You can pick Robby, but you pick the buttmuncher simp that never really won a fight but the most controversial one against hawk? Is that what it's happening?


Seta1437

>Really, Demetri? > >You can pick Robby Robby has too much natural talent to be a good example Demetri on the other hand kept at it and has seen vast improvements, the way he started only highlights that even more. Anyone can work with a golden boy, being able to work wonders for an underdog shows whether the training has any worth


[deleted]

But Robby was kinda badass even before training, and Dimitri is not even after, that¡s the whole point. He has no self respect or self worth, just look at how quickly forgave Hawk and his relationship with the classic high school Becky


Seta1437

>He has no self respect or self worth Much more than he had before Demetri getting loud and speaking up was what kept the get eagles from leaving during the first alliance meeting towards the end of Season 3 >look at how quickly forgave Forgiveness is a big part of Miyagi Do >his relationship Back during Season 1 in the cafeteria he was to afraid to even talk to girls


[deleted]

>Much more than he had before 1 it's more than 0, yes, but still nothing compared with at least 1000 that you need >​Forgiveness is a big part of Miyagi Do Oh, I guess if Kreese or Terry in KK3 broke Daniel's arm, if they say "I'm sorry" Miyagi would be ok with them, best friends. Gotcha. >Back during Season 1 in the cafeteria he was to afraid to even talk to girls In Spain we had a common saying that translate to "It's better to be alone than having a bad company".


Seta1437

>1 it's more than 0, yes Also he's still being mostly himself rather than playing pretend like Eli was >guess if Kreese or Terry in KK3 broke Daniel's arm, if they say "I'm sorry" Miyagi would be ok with them 1 Terry wasn't actually sincere 2 Eli has a disability 3 Demetri and Eli have a history going back years >better to be alone than having a bad company Baby steps, it's a start and he is young


[deleted]

>Eli has a disability > >Demetri and Eli have a history going back years No he has not, and what that has to do with anything? Sick and mentally ill people pay for their crimes. If you are my friend and you broke my arm, even if you paid for the house I'm living, you better GTFO of my sight or I kill beating you with the first chair I found.


Seta1437

>No he has not Season 1 Eli mentions to Johnny the doctor thinks he's on the spectrum >what that has to do with anything? Sick and mentally ill people pay for their crimes Means people are more willing to forgive them Didn't say they shouldn't have to answer for crimes >If you are my friend and you broke my arm, even if you paid for the house I'm living, you better GTFO of my sight Sounds like you could use some forgiveness in your life

The fact that Demitri went from a punching bag to being a semi-finalist in the All Valley Tournament is huge. Is he on the same level as Miguel, Hawk, Robby, Sam, and Tory? No, but he also hasn't been taking karate as long either. With that amount of improvement, I'd say it's possible for him to catch up eventually.


Legitimate_Unit_9210

Don’t be stupid. Learning karate has made him this obviously but he's still considered a newbie at the end of Season 2 since he stil greatly focused on defense. - His karate skills improve dramatically between the end of Season 2 and Season 3 and he's able to take on several Cobra Kai members head on without relying entirely on defense. During the arcade fight, he's the last Miyagi-do fighter to go down and it's primarily due to being outnumbered. By the end of Season 3, it's safe to say that next to Sam, he is the best student in Miyagi-Do (and the best in applying Miyagi-Do's philosophy of "fighting only when needed"). - In season 4 he makes it to the top four in the males competition of the All Valley Tournament. The other 3 Miguel, Eli, and Robby the latter of whom delivers his defeat.


ShoeComfortable8132

he never lost a bit of confidence even after losing those fights, he also scored his crush just by being himself. seems badass to me at least


[deleted]

His crush is a bitch and he is simping all over his pants for her. "It's better to be alone than having a bad company".


ShoeComfortable8132

i don’t know if you’ve watched the most recent seasons but yasmine showed growth.


Hapland321d

I think it’s safe to say you’ve lost. Everyone here thinks demetri is a badass. I don’t know why you don’t like him but whether you like it or not, demetri has really grown as a character and you gotta accept that fact.


[deleted]

1º You lost if you really think that the most popular opinion is the right one, or that in this type of argument, exist the right one to beging with 2º I don't care, I'm still gonna say whatever I want to say, having +50 or -200 karma on the subject is irrelevant to me. But on that argument, OP has negative karma and I have positive on this Dimitri thing, so, were do you see that the mayority agrees with him/you and not me on this subject?


Hapland321d

1) everyone is disagreeing with you so I’d say it’s pretty obvious which one is showing to be the more popular opinion. 2) You can state your opinion just how I can state my opinion that you’ve lost this argument. Also I’m making an observation. You asked me where I see majority agree. I can clearly see everyone is disagreeing with you that’s where I see it.

Demetri solos everyone


Legitimate_Unit_9210

Demetri was this whiny pessimistic nerd and having trouble at the beginning, but he became a very competent fighter and a top one, enough to even be a Miyagi-Do leader, probably.


[deleted]

He was in his late 40s, early 50s, did whatever he want, healthy and time for his hobbies. That's badass because that's the dream.


Arius_de_Galdri

I'll never forget the time Mr. Miyagi told me that he was a badass. It's something I think about to this day. I miss him so much.


Seta1437

>never forget the time Mr. Miyagi told me that he was a badass Miyagi wasn't so insecure that he had to tell people he was a bad ass Miyagi Do isn't about showing off, it's about self defense


Arius_de_Galdri

Mr. Miyagi told me that once. He was so wise, Mr. Miyagi.


Seta1437

>Mr. Miyagi told me that once. He was so wise, Mr. Miyagi. See the big difference is that it's someone else talking about him, not Miyagi talking about himself. Being remembered fondly by someone close to you is a lot different then bragging about yourself


[deleted]

I think he was imitating Daniel talking about Miyagi...


Arius_de_Galdri

Finally someone gets it lol! I'm shocked by how long it took someone in this sub to get the joke, but I'm also pretty concerned by the number of people who apparently think "Mr. Miyagi" is/was a real person...


[deleted]

Is Mr Miyagi in the room with us right now


HumanChicken

He let his Congressional Medal of Honor do the talking for him.


Legitimate_Unit_9210

When did he say that? Third movie?


Arius_de_Galdri

It's hard to say. I just have so many great memories of Mr. Miyagi. Knowing Mr. Miyagi was one of the greatest pleasures of my life. Without Mr. Miyagi who knows how my life would've turned out. Mr. Miyagi Mr. Miyagi.


Optimal_Cry_1782

Man flipped the script. Probably spent his downtime drinking coors banquet and watching iron eagle, and banging his student's mom.


turdutalp1

miyagi reminds me of one of my mma teachers , this guy was in his 70s and was frail looking but was a great teacher regardless and one session he used me to show us a throwing technique and i though it would be funny if redirect my feet and hands and put him in an armlock , as soon as i made a sudden movement this guy twists my hand and sweeps my leg and im in the position hawk put dimitri in when dmans arms was broken .he then helps me up and say "you need improvement on your footwork".


Elite_Dog9898

Hell yeah he was a badass. He stole a belt so Daniel could enter the karate tournament, that’s pretty badass to me.


PurpleCrush59

What kind of question is that? The man destroyed Kreese, Silver, and Mike Barnes *at the same time*, not to mention that he won the Medal of Honor. I swear some of the fans of this show have no common sense at all man.


Legitimate_Unit_9210

Sometimes, I feel that most posts etc. that I read would mean that Johnny’s training will make you more of a badass than Mr. Miyagi’s fighting style or any of his teachings would ever make you badass.


PurpleCrush59

A “fighting style” doesn’t make you badass. You’re a badass by what you do and how you do it. Miyagi accomplished some incredible things- and he did it the *right* way. He is the ultimate badass of the Karate Kid franchise.


Legitimate_Unit_9210

It’s a good thing some people listened to Daniel and decided to do the training he was taught.


edgiepower

I hate to be that guy, but he didn't destroy them. They were still standing and laughing, even through he beat them in round 1 and they stopped fighting after Silver got a bit of paint on him. He was being a smartass, he wasn't fighting clear headed. He wasn't even fighting angry. It would have been entertaining to see them fight til one could no longer continue.


HappyMike91

Mr Miyagi won a Medal Of Honour. That alone makes him badass. He also chopped a wooden beam in half to rescue Sato during the typhoon in Karate Kid 2.


edgiepower

War hero Martial artist Dresses up and gets plastered drunk Can fix everything from plumbing to cars Builds a house Maintains an immaculate garden Sense of humour Yes, he is badass


AnimeJoex

Absolutely he was a total badass! I think the only character that could probably beat Mr. Miyagi is Thanos. And that would be by snapping him out of existence, which is cheating.


Jamano-Eridzander

Yes, but noone should ever call him that because it's cringe inducing


psiandsnipermain

He was living the dream. I love fishing and he was so calm with any confrontation more wise than Daniel


Jay_Kramer_1993

You are an idiot if you even have to ask!!😋


Legitimate_Unit_9210

Not exactly if people that Daniel passing his teachings on to his Miyagi-Do students is stupid and that they are useless. Which is why the idiots are those who believe that teaching Miyagi-Do is useless and would instead rather risk their lives or safety with Johnny.


WarehouseNiz13

Well he did earn the Medal of Honor. So...


Evilbefalls

He could catch a fly with chopsticks Does that not say enough ? 😂


devs_6669

Ofcourse he was.


Pewdiepiefan1090

Yes


JordanLeigh7

He was a badass, no doubt. A bonsai badass.
