1985 Aldea Tomi, Okinawa, Japón.
Six months after the All-Valley Tournament where Daniel defeated Johnny Lawrence
Daniel continued his studies at the Reeseda Institute (Los Angeles).. At the end of the course Ali and Daniel had broken up, since Daniel confirmed with certainty to Mr. Miyagi that Ali had fallen in love with another boy and not only That, also that that same day the beautiful new car that Mr. Miyagi had given him months ago for his birthday had broken down.
The day was going badly for Daniel. Also, his mother Lucille had decided that they were going to move to Fresno for the summer for work, which discouraged Daniel... He didn't want to leave California or Mr. Miyagi alone...
Quickly faced with that, Mr. Miyagi managed to convince Dani's mother to let her stay with Miyagi throughout the summer.... Daniel's mother accepted without arguing with the plan, leaving Miyagi and Daniel alone
The next day Miyagi receives a letter from Okinawa informing him that his father is about to die, which forces him to take a plane ticket to his town to be with his father in the last hours of his life. ...Daniel decides to go with him, spending all his savings for the university school fund and taking the opportunity to read the history of Okinawa in a book he carries during the flight
Time skip..... Both got out of a taxi. Mr. Miyagi was in charge of paying him... Both walked around the village, Daniel looked at everything with great interest, the little houses made of straw and mambu cane and so on were really interesting, he looked from one side to the other. It was a different environment. All kinds of people. It was a refreshing and exotic air with a small smile pulling at Daniel's lips as he watched the great landscape that the place offered.... Until his attention was totally caught. Just a few meters away was a young woman who looked... simply 'amazing'. She was dressed in a traditional nora, with her brown hair tied with some chopsticks
".......This... is incredible Mr. Miyagi."
