To tell you the truth, I never really love the Kreese-heavy episodes.
But there are more than enough characters to spotlight in the present day.
S. Lee (lately ofFor All Mankind).
And I havent seen his birth certificate, but he may very well be the worlds oldest man.
Hell only sanction this new team-up if Kreese proves hes focused on more than just the prize.
(He killed a dozen.)
But the Johnny we see this time isnt de-aged, thankfully.
He even breaks this Johnnys neck.
Its not keep your eye on the prize.
Its eliminate whatever stands between you and the prize.
Now he understands, and he has Master Kims blessing.
The letters do not, of course, end up referring to their dream school.
Hes actually enrolled at Midwest Industrial Training.
Kyler ends up being Miguels most important foil in this story.
If hes going to provide for a rapidly growing family, hell need a job.
(He knows it, too, bragging to Daniel when he visits him at work.)
Hes really working on embracing Miyagi-Do as a way of life with Chozens help.
An old classmate named Little Stevie has a couple of houses for rent, a promising prospect for Johnny.
But he does need to work, since it doesnt pay to teach karate at Miyagi-Do.
Boom, no problem hell just do what Daniel does and sell cars.
I never thought Id see the day.
None of this stuff is riveting, exactly, especially with so much time turned over to Kreese.
If that means an occasional detour into lightweight sitcom antics, I can deal with it.
At least theres a new immortal sensei villain to keep us company.
Mr. Miyagis Little Trees
Your incompetence is why I must stay alive goes hard.
Johnny doesnt have the highest standards for what makes a great home: Shit, this place is perfect.
Its got stairs and everything.
Little Stevie idolized Johnny after watching him fight in the 1983 All Valley.
Figures that he didnt catch 84.
Kyler: You think West Valley High would let me back in?
Miguel: Why … would you …?
Love Xolo Mariduenas befuddled delivery here.
What do you think is in the briefcase?
Johnny, selling a car: Congratulations.
Youre gonna look so hot in this.
