Mr. Miyagi's teachings have clearly influenced his old student Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) in the decades since "The Karate Kid" franchise, with the pupil carrying over his lessons to a new generation of dojo fighters in the Netflix spin-off "Cobra Kai". And though the karate instructor himself doesn't appear in the series — the actor Pat Morita passed away in 2011 — his impact will continue to affect Daniel in the upcoming second part of "Cobra Kai" season 6, which is set to hit the streamer on Thursday, November 28.
As you might remember from part 1, Daniel unearths a hidden box of Mr. Miyagi's possessions, which holds some shocking secrets about his beloved karate master, including a name change and a violent criminal past. And those discoveries will very much affect Daniel and how he approaches being a sensei himself in the second part of the season, as he attempts to lead the Miyagi-Do students to victory at the international Sekai Taikai tournament in Barcelona.
