Mid-way through the movie Daniel is challenged to break the sheets of ice and Miyagi reminds him of the technique. The film opens with Miyagi teaching Daniel about a breathing technique to focus the mind and body to pound in nails in one hit.Especially if, hypothetically speaking, he needs an ally at Doyona International who's willing to help him save his car dealership chain. Chekhov's Gunman: Hopefully that bellringer Daniel saves in the typhoon will pay him back in the future.Miyagi doesn't take it well, immediately pulling Kreese off Johnny. Miyagi a slope after Miyagi told him to lay off Johnny. The Bully: Chozen is the nephew of a wealthy businessman and a premier karate student, but spends his time swindling the villagers and harassing the local girls.

At that point, it is likely that Sato realizes that if they had their duel, Miyagi would have been able to kill him with one full force punch.

Miyagi coaching Daniel how to break through six sheets of ice, while Miyagi tops everyone by chopping a thick ceiling beam in two with one chop to rescue Sato pinned under it in a storm.

Brick Break: The second film takes the most advantage of this trope with Mr.

To his credit, by the end, he swallows his pride and makes a Heel≯ace Turn.

Sato is also forced to confront how he's effectively raised his nephew to be a monster.

It culminates with Miyagi saving Sato's life during a typhoon, demonstrating his superiority in the martial arts in the process (and, in turn, no doubt making Sato realize that he would have lost the duel that he wanted so badly).

Once Miyagi returns, all of Sato's increasingly heavy-handed attempts to force Miyagi into the duel amount to nothing.

Miyagi disgraced him by fleeing from the Duel to the Death that Sato demanded.

For the past forty years, he's been fuming about how Mr.

Sato has this happen to him in a far more subtle way.

Chozen has nothing going well for him once Daniel arrives in Okinawa.

The film ends with Daniel making a helpless Chozen choose between life and death when Chozen chooses death, Daniel refuses his request and, following Miyagi's example, tweaks his nose.

Book Ends: The film begins with a confrontation between Miyagi and Kreese, which ends with Miyagi threatening to mercilessly strike down the Cobra Kai sensei, but stops mid-way and comically honks his nose instead.

Awesome, but Impractical: Chozen allows Daniel to follow through on the crane stance, but simply catches his foot and gives him an elbow to the back (a move reminiscent of Johnny's elbow to Daniel's knee in the first movie).

It also helped that it reached the Top 5 in various countries including the US and UK.

Award-Bait Song: The theme song, Peter Cetera's 'Glory of Love', was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Machio does telegraph it pretty badly though, due to his lack of much actual training. The technique actually consists of a near simultaneous block-counterstrike, with the counterstrike being (somewhat) obscured by the block. Amusingly this is in the same fight where Chosen effortlessly counters the Crane technique, which was also supposedly unblockable.

Artistic License Martial Arts: The 'Drum Technique' is presented as an unbeatable maneuver, and the elite martial artist Chozen is helpless before it, but it seems to consist simply of windmilling hugely telegraphed haymakers.

At any rate, Cobra Kai retcons the story into being just an old Miyagi family legend. While this is basically the story of how it happened in real life, that process took centuries with many different people, which is why there are so many different schools of karate. Miyagi actually says is that one of his ancestors went to China, and when he returned, he brought back 'secret of Miyagi family karate'.

Artistic License History: A lot of people think that this movie claims the Miyagi family invented karate.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Sato is, curiously enough, the main one in the film instead of Chozen.

Alpha Strike: Chozen demonstrates that the crane kick leaves Daniel overstretched and off-balance.

The Karate Kid: Part II contains examples of:
