Mr. Miyagi's past (spoilers)

I like the idea that Miyagi's old man perspective came out of former shameful acts. In the Karate Kid movies, Miyagi never claimed to be perfect, but did not let on too much about his past. Daniel only know the old version of Miyagi who had a lifetime to learn from his past mistakes. Miyagi was always against fighting as an old man because he knew all to well what could happen. If Miyagi had not going through killing a person in a fight, his pacifist philosophy would have been simply given to him by his father and not earned.

Series would have been better if Mr Miyagi was still alive. Yes the actor passed, however another person could have been casted. Many Asians look alike anyway

He has not passed away! Like Elvis before him, P-Mort just got too sick of the spotlight and faked his death so as to fade into anonymity. He's still alive and well.

I do love the idea of Miyagi faking his death and coming back as a villain, aligned with Mr Silver

He can dig his way out of that grave like The Crow and give everyone a scare!

Maybe, but I think Miyagi being gone allows Daniel to slowly realize Johnny was right all along.
