As with the introduction of Sensei Da-Eun, we now have a direct link to the founder of the Cobra Kai style in opposition to Daniel and Chozen, who through Daniel’s link as a surrogate son to Mr Miyagi, and Chozen, who learned the style from his Uncle Sato, who learned it directly from Mr Miyagi’s father alongside Mr Miyagi when they were boys, representing the Miyagi style of Okinawan Karate.

The man who taught Captain George Turner (played in Cobra Kai Season 4 by Terry Serpico) who would then go on to teach Sensei Sun-Yung’s Way of the Fist style to a young John Kreese (played by Barrett Carnahan) and young Terry Silver (played by Nick Marini) when they served as part of his covert US military unit during the Vietnam War.
With this clip and Silver’s dialogue in particular, we now know that Sensei Da-Eun is not just a formidable Karate teacher but she is also the granddaughter of Sensei Kim Sun-Yung. He then implores that they need to share her grandfather’s style with the world, to which Sensei Da-Eun asks Silver if he thinks his students are up to the task, to which he replies he does, ending the clip. Which then leads to a subtle but major reveal of Sensei Da-Eun’s identity that will have major implications for the story of Season 5.Īs Silver then tells her that her grandfather didn’t teach American soldiers the way of the fist just to use on the battlefield. To which Silver replies that the partnership stake is just a number and what he is really offering is legacy. However, we see Sensei Da-Eun politely refuse this offer as she tells Silver that money is not the reason that she flew all the way to America.
