Funny, i watched the trailer again after filming and noticed the the “music” or lack of music, that is giving this trailer the drama or suspense is the sound. And I’m now noticing that the sound is that little drum with the balls connected on the string that they spin back-and-forth in prior movies!
I hope this movie won't have some sort of forced/contrived plot to justify Mr. Han and Mr. Myiagi co-existing. _Especially_ since it wouldn't be necessary. We know that historically speaking, karate as we know of was came to be when Chinese traders visited Okinawa and taught the locals kenpo and kung fu, whereupon elements of these arts was adapted and combined with the indigenous style of martial arts known as "te", meaning "hand". This was in the 15th and 16th century. We also hear about the 17th century fisherman Shimpo Myiagi in Karate Kid II, who brought the secret of Myiagi-Do Karate to Okinawa from China. (Ref: ua-cam.com/video/2iNcTGoZMMY/v-deo.html). How _easy_ wouldn't it be to say that Shimpo Sensei simply learned kung fu from an ancestor of Mr. Han, (his wife might even have been a Han by birth), and that the Myiagi-Do family karate has its origins in the Han family kung fu, and that there might be this multi-generational friendship between the two families ever since. Heck, maybe there's been multiple Han-Myiagi marriages over the centuries? And even if there were no inter-marriage, what exactly prevents these families from having stayed in touch and visited one another as a multi-generational friendship, and that Mr. Myiagi and Mr. Han might know (or know of) one another for this reason. Maybe all the parallels between Mr. Han and Mr. Myiagi's experiences with Daniel and Dre respectively is because Mr. Myiagi helped Mr. Han find some _semblance_ of balance after his wife and son died, and Mr. Han instinctively sought to emulate his teaching methods when he got a student himself? Boom - two branches, one tree. Myiagi family karate and Han family kung fu. "Kung fu lives in everything we do. It lives in how we put on a jacket. How we take off a jacket, and in how we treat people". Can one really imagine Myiagi having much of a different attitude to karate?
A few nods to Mr Miyagi with the little drum. Looks like a fusion with Kung Fu and Karate. Miyagi once said “if you piss on tree, it will only grow back stronger”. You raised all very good points in this reaction as always great analysis

Jackie Chan, not Chang.
Chang…LOL!!!
I have so many questions for this Cobra Kai Finale...
It’s weird that the Jayden Smith story was parodied with the original Karate Kid film, but somehow happened in the same universe.
This takes place 3 years after Cobra Kai
The next zombie they dug out.
