Daniel   could   see   the   strain   Miguel   was   carrying,   both   in   his   words   and   in   the   careful   way   he   moved.   He   listened   intently,   his   expression   softening   as   he   recognized   the   familiar   weight   of   trying   to   recover   while   pushing   against   lingering   pain.   Memories   of   his   own   struggles   with   injury,   the   frustration   of   wanting   to   move   forward   without   being   held   back   by   his   body,   surfaced   for   a   moment,   and   he   gave   Miguel   a   small   nod   of   understanding.

"Believe   me,   Miguel,"   Daniel   said,   his   voice   gentle   but   steady,   "I   know   exactly   what   you're   going   through.   It's   tough   when   you   want   to   jump   right   back   in,   but   your   body   keeps   reminding   you   to   take   it   slow."   He   placed   a   reassuring   hand   on   Miguel's   shoulder.   "And   you’re   right—it   could   have   been   much   worse,   but   you’ve   made   it   through   to   this   point.   That’s   something   to   be   proud   of."

Miguel’s   request   to   work   through   things   together   didn’t   just   surprise   Daniel;   it   moved   him.   Miguel   trusted   him   enough   to   want   his   guidance   in   such   a   vulnerable   part   of   his   recovery.   "I'd   be   glad   to   go   through   it   with   you,"   Daniel   replied,   giving   Miguel   an   encouraging   smile.   "We   can   work   on   strengthening   and   pacing   ourselves,   together.   Slow   and   steady   wins   this   race,   Miguel.   You’re   not   alone   in   this."

Daniel   felt   his   heart   swell   as   Sam   spoke,   her   words   wrapping   around   him   like   a   warm   embrace   he   hadn’t   realized   he   needed.   The   pride   he   had   in   her   was   boundless;   she   was   strong,   resilient,   and   had   come   so   far   from   that   nervous   girl   at   the   All   Valley.   Watching   her   now,   standing   taller   and   more   self-assured,   was   a   reminder   of   why   he   started   Miyagi-Do   in   the   first   place—not   just   to   teach   karate,   but   to   help   her   and   others   like   her   find   strength   within   themselves.

He   took   a   deep   breath,   his   gaze   steady   as   he   looked   at   his   daughter.   "Sam,   you've   already   made   me   proud.   Just   seeing   how   you’ve   handled   everything   this   past   year—learning   from   every   challenge,   refusing   to   give   up—that’s   what   it   means   to   be   a   champion.   It’s   not   about   winning   or   losing;   it’s   about   showing   up   with   everything   you’ve   got."

As   he   spoke,   he   saw   her   smile,   and   the   worries   he’d   held   for   her   melted   away.   For   a   moment,   it   was   just   the   two   of   them,   sharing   a   quiet   understanding,   the   kind   he   often   felt   when   his   own   sensei,   Mr.   Miyagi,   believed   in   him   unconditionally.   “Whatever   happens   ,   you've   already   won   in   my   book.   And   just   like   you   said…   we’ll   handle   whatever   comes   our   way,   together.”

@valleyschamp : my path wasn’t a straight line. and yours is still being written. netflix's cobra kai ; always accepting.

    𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲  𝘄𝗮𝘀  𝗻𝗼  𝗼𝗻𝗲  𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲  𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲  𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻  𝗵𝗲𝗿  𝗱𝗮𝗱,   he  was  always  wanting  her  to  do  her  best  and  was  proud  of  her  no  matter  what.   neither  of  them  were  perfect,  this  last  year  or  so  had    𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱   that,  but  one  thing  was  clear  to  her  now  more  than  ever,  sam  could  do  anything  she  set  her  mind  to  as  long  as  her  dad  believed  in  her.   she  was  surprised  that  she  didn't  feel  nervous  about  the  sekai  taikai  presentation  tomorrow,  this  was  her  chance  to    𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗺   herself  from  what  happened  at  the  all  valley,  to  prove  to  herself  that  she  could  do  it and  she  knew  no  matter  what  happened,  her  dad  would  be  there  and  would  be  proud  of  her.   sam  smiles  as  he  speaks,  not  feeling  any  pressure  like  she  had  at  the  last  all  valley  despite  everything  that  this  meant  for  them  and  the  dojo,   "   i  know.   no  matter  what  happens,  it's  what  is  meant  to  happen  and  we  will  handle  it,    "   she  admits,  knowing  there  was  no  way  she  would  be  able  to  do  any  of  this  without  him  and  if  anything,  all  she  wanted  to  do  tomorrow  was  make  him  proud.

[valleyschamp]

Daniel’s   laugh   came   easily,   the   warmth   of   it   filling   the   small   space   between   them.   Ali   hadn’t   lost   her   touch—she   knew   just   how   to   jab   at   his   pride   while   showing   concern,   and   he’d   missed   that.   He   leaned   back,   hands   slipping   into   his   pockets   as   he   tilted   his   head   at   her.   “Oh,   you’re   really   playing   the   doctor   card   on   me   now,   huh?”   he   teased,   grinning.   “All   those   years   of   bruises   and   bumps,   and   now   my   joints   are   apparently   ‘past   their   prime’?   You’re   brutal,   Ali.”

But   he   knew   there   was   truth   to   it.   Between   the   karate   tournaments,   training   the   kids,   and   that   last   bit   of   trouble   with   Cobra   Kai,   his   body   was   catching   up   with   him,   and   he   was   feeling   it   more   often   than   he   cared   to   admit.   His   throat   still   felt   sore   for   Silver's   attack   and   the   last   fight   proven   that   a   crane   kick   should   only   be   used   as   a   last   resource.

“Guess   I’d   better   start   listening   to   Doctor   Mills,   then,”   he   admitted,   rubbing   the   back   of   his   neck.   “Besides,   I   wouldn’t   want   to   let   you   down   after   you   went   to   all   the   trouble   of   coming   back   to   the   Valley.   And   I’m   not   just   talking   about   the   moving   boxes.   Just…   it’s   good   to   have   you   back,   Ali.”

  oh he thought he was sharp,  and she was going to give him hell for it. surely he knew her well enough by now to have seen that coming.  ❛ i think doctor trumps sensei in this moment, ❜ she countered, giving his side a playful jab. ❛ after your latest wild adventure, i’m telling you you better take care of those joints of yours or else they’ll give out on you. ❜ she’d seen enough patients to know it to be true. especially with his history of injury, she expected him to be extra careful. ❛ oh that’s the only reason, huh? ❜ a roll of her eyes followed, though her smile remained. ❛ oh i heard all about it. i forgot how quickly word gets around out here. ❜ surprisingly, she had missed it. she was happy to be back and even happier to be able to spend time finding herself again. ❛ thanks for offering to help with the moving process. i promise i’ll be gentle on you. ❜

i like that we all summon at the same time.

[valleyschamp]

daniel looks like he is fighting someone or kreese by the looks of it and i'm going insane.

[valleyschamp]

so yeah a return is planned.

[valleyschamp]

"You know, when my father died... I spent a lot of time thinking I wasn't such a great son. Like, maybe I could've listened a little more... or spent some more time with him, together. I felt so guilty, you know, like, he did everything for me, and I didn't do anything for him. And then one day I realized I did the greatest thing for him before he died. I was there with him... and I held his hand... and I said goodbye."

imagine being a child and thinking all of this.

[valleyschamp]

what if I made a starter call.

[valleyschamp]

the one thing i have gripes with is johnny relates to tory through her grief being marked by anger while forgetting the target of that anger (through the fight, not consciously) was daniel's own daughter who could've been seriously injured. and johnny while i understand grief of losing a parent, he was an adult who lost his mother and proceeded to make a series of decision on that grief that have consequences to this day.

for this, i think who can relate best to her is daniel, who like tory, lost his father at a young age (and likely to illness to) who we know, canonically thought he was not a good enough son and wanted to do more for his father. that's what tory is feeling now, that she has to win because is the one thing she can do for her mother now.
