Chozen Toguchi was Daniel LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) rival. The Karate Kid Part IIwhich is primarily set in Okinawa. Chozen was the arrogant, cruel and spiteful nephew of Sato Toguchi (Danny Kamekona), the former best friend and enemy of Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita). Introduced in Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 1, Kwon Jae-Sung was reminiscent of the younger Chozen. Like Toguchi, Kwon was obnoxious, smug, and followed the teachings of his twisted sensei, Master Kim Sun-Yung (CS Lee). Despite it, Kwon dies Cobra Kai was a shock.

The ending of Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 is what Karate Kid 2 didn’t do with Chozen

Kwon made a stupid decision that was completely different than Chozen

At the end of the wild brawl Cobra Kai Season 6, Episode 10, “Eunjangdo,” Kwon foolishly decided to use John Kreese’s (Martin Kove) knife against Axel. Desperate and outclassed by the captain of the Iron Dragons, Kwon lost control and fatally stabbed himself. It was the first time that a teenage character died overall Karate kid Saga. As violent as the show can be, Cobra Kai Killing off Kwon, one of the young characters, was unexpected. “The Karate Kid Part II”The ending of the film also pushed the violence to the edge compared to the original film, but in contrast, spared Chozen Cobra Kai and Kwon.

Chozen even urged Daniel to comply, but LaRusso spared him and wrinkled his nose, mimicking the compassion shown to Kreese by Mr. Miyagi. The Karate Kid Part II Daniel wouldn’t have let Chozen be killed in cold blood. Chozen wasn’t so blinded by rage that he ended up killing himselflike Kwon did Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2.

Chozen redeemed himself in Cobra Kai, but Kwon never will

Chozen became the success story of Cobra Kai

Chozen’s reintroduction in Cobra Kai Season 3 was a surprising 180-degree change in character The Karate Kid Part II Fans remember. Chozen had changed in the 30-plus years since he last saw Daniel LaRusso. Toguchi became wise and compassionate, but comically eccentric. Chozen has changed so much that he is now Daniel-san’s trusted ally. Chozen also has romantic feelings for Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita), but Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 delivered a twist that saw Chozen team up with Cobra Kai’s sensei Kim Da-Eun (Alicia Hannah-Kim).

Although at first glance Chozen Kwon is similar to the younger one, the crucial difference is ultimately Miyagi-Do.

Kwon’s death at a young age means he will never have the chance to change the way Chozen did. Although at first glance Chozen Kwon is similar to the younger one, the crucial difference is ultimately Miyagi-Do. After The Karate Kid Part II, Chozen changed his life by embracing the positive benefits of the Miyagi family karate. However, Kwon firmly believed in the most destructive aspects of Cobra Kai “No mercy” philosophywhich did not teach him humility and restraint. Cobra Kai gave Kwon a much worse fate than Chozen’s humiliation at the end The Karate Kid Part II.
