“Lesson not just in punch… lesson in purpose.”
Daniel-san go to Okinawa.
Not for tournament. Not for trophy.
He go to learn — about family, love, tradition, self.
Fight happen, yes. But real battle not with fist.
Real battle is inside — pride, fear, mercy.
Old friend become enemy. Enemy become mirror.
Sometimes hardest punch is truth.
Mr. Miyagi say: “Best block? No be there.”
But movie? Always be here.
Kumiko?
Good heart. Soft voice. Quiet strength.
Daniel-san choose well. Maybe too well.
Many movies today forget.
Big boom, no meaning. Fast cut, no lesson.
This one? Still bow, still breathe, still teach.
“Time may pass… but true lesson stay forever.”
5 stars. Wax on.
