The original karate kid Daniel LaRusso has always been a good person, but he also has a lot of demons from the past he needed to work through.

Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) was at his worst in The Karate Kid Part III, and he even turned his back on Mr. It’s also a nice callback as, in the third Karate Kid film, Silver specifically made fun of the crane kick. First, it is very fitting for Daniel to use classic Miyagi-Do to deliver the final blow as ultimately, Miyagi-Do will always be the karate Daniel mainly associates with. This is a fantastic full-circle moment in several ways. The final move of the Quicksilver method, ' a man can’t see, he can’t fight,' is executed by Daniel doing his iconic crane kick move. This in particular is meaningful as Daniel was always vocally opposed to Johnny’s method of karate and now is using it to beat Silver.
