Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 has sparked controversy with its use of AI technology to resurrect the character of Mr. Miyagi, originally portrayed by Pat Morita. This decision has drawn significant criticism from fans, who labeled the moment as the worst in the series.
In the episode titled „Skeletons,“ Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio, experiences a lengthy dream sequence featuring an AI-generated version of Miyagi. This scene follows a previous revelation about Miyagi’s dark past, which was introduced in Season 6 Part 2.
The dream sequence features Daniel fighting alongside the AI Miyagi against a group of attackers dressed in iconic Cobra Kai skeleton costumes. While the scene aims to provide emotional depth, many viewers found it overlong and lacking purpose.
Critics argue that this cameo detracts from the show’s established narrative quality. The series is known for its focused storytelling, but the inclusion of the AI character has been perceived as unnecessary fan service.
Additionally, earlier episodes had already addressed the complexities of Miyagi’s character, suggesting that his past actions were not as villainous as they seemed. The AI cameo appears to complicate an already resolved storyline, leading to further disappointment among audiences.
As the series continues to stream on Netflix, the reception of this particular moment raises questions about the future direction of Cobra Kai and its reliance on nostalgia.
