The mixed reality fighting system... mmm, works for the characters but implausible, even moreso when this is supposed to be 5 years ago. Apart from the matter of equipment, having Miguel act as a faux-Axel doesn't make much sense. The computer can tell him what move "Axel" should make next, but in a real fight all of the attacking/blocking/countering comes so fast that listening to audio instructions on what to do next can't possibly keep up. Then there's just the fact that Axel is significantly larger. Different height, different reach... can't virtual that! | The mixed reality fighting system... mmm, works for the characters but implausible, even moreso when this is supposed to be 5 years ago.

There were a few lines that seemed deliberate references to old material. Johnny and Rosa talking about his proposal plans and her saying that it would be right as long as it was from him, very similar to phrasing used by Miyagi to Daniel a few times, about bonsai but as a metaphor for any decision really. | There were a few lines that seemed deliberate references to old material.

Also the mailman commenting on the Miyagi-do backyard was basically repeating what the mailman said in Part II, I think? While similarly delivering bad news. | ||
Gunther is a straightforward but fun character. Fun to see him dealing with the recurring bickering All Valley Sports crew. Unlikelily convenient that the new site for the resumed tournament is the same building used for previous tournaments in this show and the Karate Kid movies, but... appropriate for this show's end.}} | |||

CG Miyagi is back. Visually he's noticeably fake when you see his face, but whatever they did for the vocals... clips, machine-learned recreation, soundalike... pretty convincing. | |||
I don't like spoilers, but many months ago I did unintentionally run across people discussing set pictures from this season showing Miguel in black and with a captain's headband. So with that in mind, I had a pretty good idea what would happen in response to Robby being forced out of the tournament by dirty tricks. I wasn't expecting Johnny to also return as Cobra Kai sensei, but that makes perfect full circle sense for this show too.}} | |||
