A chance discovery on Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 suggests Mr. Miyagi has a dark past.
This article contains spoilers forCobra Kaiseason 6 part 1.
The latest batch ofCobra Kaiepisodes is sure to have Mr. Miyagi fans screaming, Whats in the box?!
Below, beneath a blanket of cobwebs, is a large wooden box.
Chozen thinks the past should stay in the past, while Amanda desperately wants to know whats inside.
Daniels curiosity gets the best of him, and he cracks the box open.
Inside, theres a collection of what seem to be random things.
There are a few scroll-like items that initially look like joints but, sadly, are not.
The victim claimed that he was attacked by one Keisuke Miyagi.
Coincidentally, theres also a passport with the name Keisuke Miyagi.
Daniel pushes back on the idea that Keisuke is actuallyhisMr.
Miyagi, especially because the birth date on the passport doesnt match.
(Well get back to that name issue in a hot minute.)
This is a curious new bit of information that Daniel didnt know.
But desperate men are capable of anything.
Instead, the country he fought for gave him only devastation in return.
The years after Mr. Miyagi returned home from the war are a mystery.
Theres a large, three-decade gap between the end of the war and when he first meets Daniel.
Really, anything could have happened during that time.
And a man who has lost everything has nothing to lose.
Violence certainly could have been his way of coping.
And who could blame him?
Perhaps he needed to exorcise some demons before finding his way to a path of enlightenment.
Two other curious issues arise with the discovery of the box.
As mentioned before, Daniel is convinced that Mr. Miyagi wouldnt have gone by the name Keisuke.
He runs back to the box and unearths an identical headband, only this one is coated in blood.
Daniel is shocked that his mentor and guiding light could possibly be capable of violence that resulted in bloodshed.
But what if there was a bit of Johnny in Mr. Miyagi all along?
Must not lose to fear.
