OP I've been thinking about these dynamics a lot while watching that gif of Johnny & his tall blonde Cobra crew circling a clearly more dark-featured Daniel who's placing himself between them and tall blonde Ali, and just realizing I know this scene very well.

Also, his & Miyagi's relationship is very much one of outsiders connecting. Miyagi's the only adult who steps in - none of the teachers seem to care and the gym teacher even throws Daniel back into the group of guys tormenting him. I would absolutely buy this and would love to read a fill.

Totally agree. Particularly in the 80s it would have been a big risk for someone like Daniel to mix with the crowd he finds himself in.

In the KK DVD commentary (link below) at one point the director is asked "Why are they (The Cobras) all blonde?" He replies "In case you didn't get it." Meaning the social dynamic he was going for. Apparently during filming he referred to Ali's parents as "The Protestants" :-)

I totally see Miguel as analogous with young Daniel. Making his close relationship with Johnny even more moving.

Oh...OH AND the treatment of racism towards Miyagi in the film is interesting. His family dies in an internment camp, despite his loyal service to the country. He's repeatedly referred to with slurs. He's the only one teaching genuine Karate while Kreese is teaching a bastardised version of it etc.

Yes absolutely! Plus I think it's interesting that we have Daniel witnessing the scene at the beach where the guys drinking on the Ford start calling Mr. Miyagi slurs, and he sees Miyagi lose his temper a little bit - ("How did you do that? Don't know! First time!") and breaks the beer bottle. It's a good indication that he's not just some otherworldly eternally chill dude, Daniel sees the active use of his techniques to keep himself calm. In KK3, the thing that finally gets Daniel back up and into the fight and out of his haze of fear is Silver and Kreese and Barnes shouting insults and slurs about Mr. Miyagi. I just think their relationship is so interesting and it'd be amazing for Johnny to be able to recognize that, or at least the weird injustice of adults bagging on the kid he "hates" too.
