♡ day 4: miguel diaz ♡

sooo there's a lot that could theoretically be said about miguel right? he's a really good fighter, he makes mistakes but usually a really good person, he has a really strong/dedicated/supportive personality? blah blah blah, i wanna get into the MAIN reason i love miguel

MI GENTE LATINO 🗣️

okay so basically growing up with these characters has meant a lot to me. but miguel specifically was such an important part of my development. when i first started the show, johnny and daniel yeah cool great, the legacy lives on, whatever. BUT WHEN THEY SHOWED MIGUEL, i was awestruck. obviously this was at a time when hispanic/latino culture was entering the mainstream in america/internationally but to see a character on screen as the main character who isn't entirely played off as a stereotype for jokes?? hell yeah !

the showrunners making miguel such a powerful and kind-hearted character meant, and still does mean, so much to me as a latino kid. it was so cool and heart-warming to see him up there just absolutely beating the odds and being the coolest. and yeah, there are a couple race jokes (which admittedly i think are really funny) but overall carmen, rosa, and miguel are sosososo important to me and i will never get over the fact that miguel was probably the first time i personally saw a latino lead in a primarily white show

and i'm sure xolo knows this but i cannot be the only one who appreciated miguel and what he meant for television and i'm so glad xolo got a saturn award for miguel bc he really deserved it. miguel and (off-topic but) jaime reyes (blue beetle) mean the world to me and i will never be over them i fear. so to all the miguel haters, you can hate, you can say the writers have no clue what they're doing and he's a bad character, whatever i don't care, miguel is forever my heart (not even just a part, he IS my heart) and he will always mean the world to me, okay? okay. now we move on to business.

his relationship with carmen and rosa is peak. his relationship with johnny is AMAZING and carries the show so hard (it's harder to enjoy knowing robby is right there but i digress). his bonding with daniel in s4 is truly amazing. the way his potential dynamic with any given miyagi-do kid would work and be cute is an amazing feat.

my brain kind of skipped over his paralysis storyline when i started planning what to write in this. which seems CRAZY bc that's his biggest story. but i think the reason i skipped over it was bc the writers seem to have a tendency to employ really interesting conflicts and plots and then abandon them without any meaningful callback. so why don't we get a meaningful callback to his possible ptsd from the fall in s5/6? (ESPECIALLY s6, but i digress) (maybe they'll use it as another motivation for miguel in the end) ("look at everything you've been through, miguel, you can beat anything ! 🤩" /s)

miguel's fall from the second story was insane, right? i remember watching with my mom and both of us sat there in silence while he fell, then flinched and looked away when he hit the railing. they ate SO HARD with that finale, it was amazing how enraptured we were. and i KNOW we weren't the only ones. i've seen reaction videos and this was a moment that really pulled everyone in, everyone felt the shock, everyone wanted to know how miguel was going to come back from this. THIS, to me, is what pulled that final group of viewers. this is the most important part of the show, even six years later.

the show had a good following from youtube, then got a bigger following in season 2 (and from moving to netflix obviously). but this finale is the one EVERYONE still talks about. there are STILL edits made about miguel's fall. the s6 brawl was great but nothing will ever compare to that fall bc it demonstrated the tension that was built up and the gradual change of the four main characters in such a GORGEOUS way. stay with me

(i'd also like to preface this by saying i'm a miguel-plot truther, i truly believe the writers see miguel as THE main character for the teen cast. basically he IS the plot, he is an in-universe reflection of the overarching plot, and therefore anything that occurs plot-wise is going to affect or be affected by miguel in some way. no hate to any other character !! this is my perspective as a writer, you can ignore if you don't like that ig 😭)

so season 2 was great for several reasons, but for now, we're focusing on the love...square(?) of tory, robby, miguel, and sam.

so we start with miguel starring as the dweeb, sam as the mean rich girl (though that was just demetri's perception of her, not actually who she was), robby as the delinquent troublemaker, and tory as the self-assured new girl. now, WE as viewers know they're so much more complex than that, both on first watch and in hindsight; they have to be more complex, otherwise we wouldn't be watching the show. but this is their perceived roles in the grand scheme, in the social hierarchy, in the eyes of their peers, etc.

by the end of season one (except tory obviously), robby has become like daniel: balanced, kind, focused, and righteous), sam has evolved into the nice girl with a big heart, and miguel has become the alpha jerk that has a loyal band of followers right behind him, waiting to cause mischief and wreak havoc. again, OBVIOUSLY we know exactly how and why they change and exactly why they're perceived like this. we see miguel's anxiety spiral about losing sam, we see johnny unintentionally showing him how to be cool by asserting dominance (we also know that johnny failed with ali for that exact reason, though he and miguel don't know that). and we see exactly why robby takes to miyagi-do, why he's driven to take daniel's teachings to heart, bc we know how johnny and his mom have treated him. and with sam, we see that she's just a normal teenage girl, she wants to be pretty and popular but she's not mean. however comma, they don't see this context in each other, and therefore, tensions rise.

a general rule of thumb for the whole show: everything is about perspective, balance, and misunderstandings.

after spending a whole season with tory, we see each of the little instances that drives tory away from being her initial introduction into the angry, revenge-seeking (probably insecure) villain she's made out to be in later seasons. we see every moment her eyes get a little duller, a little darker when she knows she's being compared to sam, when she knows sam is seen as better than her, and for what? what does sam have that she doesn't? so she changes.

by the end of season two, miguel shifts into a mix of his two sides: he is the kind boy he used to be but also a confident and capable fighter. robby throughout the season gets progressively more frustrated with miyagi-do being purely defense and peace, wondering why daniel won't just let them fight back against cobra kai or demonstrate the miyagi-do fighting style instead of katas to attract new students. and sam gets progressively more embarrassed and frustrated with tory's presence and the fact that she's dating miguel; she loses her dignity every time she tries to get back at tory, and slowly chips away at that pure-hearted reputation she built up in season one.

so all of them flip-flopped to either side of the spectrum right? which makes the finale that much better ! personally, sam's peak pendulum moment was the whole party, being petty and going low enough to get back at tory with the drinking game, being her sassy self toward robby, then kissing miguel at the end. then, in the fight, tory becoming violent enough to actually start a fight and also scar sam's arm, miguel (at the end) deciding to take mercy on robby, in a moment that very much could've ended like the golf n' stuff fight. instead it ends with robby's full swing all the way to the angry side of the pendulum, blinded and motivated through violence, and takes miguel's moment of mercy as weakness, kicking him over that banister.

so this is a very pivotal moment for all of the characters but miguel especially. this shows the moment they've all switched. ANOTHER miscommunication. this is the moment we see just how much karate has changed all of them for the worse.

i personally love dream sequences in cobra kai and this is my second fav (the first being sam's sensory deprivation "who am i" dream)

so his coma is important to the plot, it's kind of a stalemate at first. the miyagi-do kids are in shock over the whole situation and try to help miguel with the fundraiser. but the cobra kai kids are enraged and far more motivated/bloodthirsty than ever before. to them, it was miyagi-do that kicked miguel off the balcony, not everyone's ridiculously intense focus on violence instead of cyberbullying each other in their private stories and group chats like normal teenagers.

so him being in a coma means a pause for everyone else, tory doesn't start fights, robby's on the run and m.i.a., and the only ones who are playing dirty are hawk and sam (and their groupies obvi), just picking on each other enough to be a bother but not for another fight to break out. and both sides tell themselves they're doing it for miguel. WHY? just hate each other, why do you need an unconscious kid to project onto? and it's bc miguel is so integral in all of their lives. none of this karate crap would've happened without miguel. so this is both the writers and the characters tracing everything back to miguel, bc thats their only valid excuse that isn't "we have issues and like to punch things to deal with it." he convinced hawk and demetri to join (which encouraged the others), he won the all-valley (unfairly but i digress) which attracted even more students, the only reason johnny even brought cobra kai back was bc miguel begged him to. and on the other side, daniel restarted miyagi-do to compete with johnny, robby joined miyagi-do to piss off johnny, sam joined miyagi-do yes to spend time with robby but also bc the karate craze originated with miguel ! he, like it or not, is the catalyst for a lot of this stuff.

miguel's dorkiness, his anger, his violence, his kindness, his strength, everything cultivated and jumpstarted the series (with help from johnny and daniel obvi). and yeah, obviously you could trace a lot of things back to things that barely connect. i could say all of this happened bc kreese's gf died. i could say none of this would've happened if mr. miyagi didn't work as a maintenance man. and yes, it could be said that miguel isn't necessarily the main reason for a lot of this, but you have to admit he is a reason, which i think the writers definitely intended.

so miguel, coma. everyone's tense but no one's really FIGHTING, not until miguel wakes up. he wakes up, johnny's self-pity spiral finally flips since he's motivated to help miguel, robby gets arrested, hawk and sam's growing tension becomes direct and physical, and tory rejoins cobra kai. so the second miguel is out, the world stops. but the second he wakes up, everything jumps into action due to that built-up tension. (it's giving that one scene in teen beach movie where they're all standing around and they know they're supposed to get in a brawl but the order of events got messed up and they don't know what to do)

then miguel's journey through the wheelchair is so interesting and i'm going based on memory so genuinely if this is wrong, correct me. but we never really see miguel in the wheelchair interact with anyone besides johnny and maybe carmen/rosa. i think this is just a fault in the writing (side note: i don't see it enough but i love disabled miguel art/fics ! seeing him use mobility aids is so idk interesting for him as a character i would've loved to see him hanging out with demetri or hawk or even sam with the wheelchair or the crutches. i think he only ever talks to tory during that time and we all know how that convo went. idk PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE MORE MOBILITY AID MIGUEL I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THAT.)

so anyway, miguel, personal journey to learn how to walk again. this is a very sweet storyline to build up the relationship between him and johnny. it demonstrates miguel's internal frustration not just with what he sees as a setback, but also with johnny's self-pity spiral. i also really like that johnny doesn't really give a shit about safety and doesn't try to put limits on miguel. bro LITERALLY set his foot on fire to get him walking again like ?? 😭 it also shows how much johnny trusts and believes in miguel. not just for miguel's own growth but miguel's belief in johnny's growth. he actually listens to this child who's telling him he's great and shouldn't stand to the side while someone takes what's his and johnny's like "you son of a bitch, i'm in." so miguel's frustration (tension) keeps building and building until he finally walks again (just like the ploooot~~)

for story purposes, i'm not even gonna get into how fast it took miguel to recover or the fact that johnny's training actually WORKED, let's just settle on suspension of disbelief dkjfksj

so the second miguel can walk again and starts trying to reattempt karate, the tension just keeps going going going. robby officially cuts off johnny and joins cobra kai, hawk breaks demetri's arm and brucks's face, sam's ptsd is in FULL swing and getting worse, kyler joins cobra kai, and tory is peak kreese soldier.

ANOTHER brawl starts, they're losing until hawk switches sides, miguel beats kyler, then they go to stop tory. so this is an instance in which the plot affects miguel rather than vice-versa.

eagle fang/miyagi-do combine, personally johnny's issue with miguel getting close with daniel sets forward the eventual break up, which happens with hawk's buzzcut obvi. i'm gonna be very fr, i don't remember much about s4 other than the CONSTANT hawkmetri flirting but i do remember there was a lot of conflict with miguel, internally with relearning karate and externally with sam and johnny (obvi also robby and tory as well). i think s4 was also the season with the "i love you too robby" moment (which was another jaw-dropping moment for my mom and i but we laughed through the shock). that's another reflection of miguel feeling that inner turmoil and suddenly all the other characters are off-balance too (hawk, johnny, sam, etc.). then THAT s4 finale, with miguel running away after he gets injured mid-fight.

PERSONALLY his trip to mexico was so important to me when they introduced it but it's like never mentioned again and it ends so randomly ??? i also think that was fucked up of johnny to disguise that as a bonding moment for robby just for him to find out the real reason they were there. (i giggle every single time i watch that scene bc the way tanner changes his voice inflection is so funny.)

BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT ROBBY, THIS IS ABOUT MIGUEL. and i understand this was important for miguel to reinforce who he is and his trust in carmen and johnny. however, if they were gonna write this storyline, let alone this SHOCKING of a storyline, it definitely should've had more of an impact on the narrative. miguel goes ALONE to another freaking country, gets scammed, finds his dad and at first feels betrayed by his mom, then finds out who his dad really is and is TERRIFIED of him for a bit, thankfully gets away from him, and just when he's at his most scared and alone, and admits he was wrong to his mom, johnny finds him and reinforces the fact that he's ALWAYS looking out for him. AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER. IDK HOW HE'S NOT MORE TRAUMATIZED OR AT LEAST SHAKEN BY IT. also if this is just me but making miguel's dad awful is yeah, correct, perfect, sure. but idk making him a mob boss...something doesnt feel right. i could be tweaking but it's so ridiculous and takes me out of the moment. i don't personally have any ideas to make it better, again i don't remember s5 very much, but i remember thinking "that's it?" with the mexico storyline. the writers fumbled so hard.

also him and sam breaking up, heartbreaking ! the necklace dropping in the dirt gets me sobbing ! every ! single ! TIME ! though i do love yasmoon and hawkmetri totally fucking it up by meddling, they're so funny. and their break was SO necessary. istg netflix is always shoving trauma-bonded/ptsd-ridden teenagers into relationships with each other instead of a relationship to a THERAPIST. how about you go on a date TO A PSYCHOLOGIST? good on sam for once again being the only emotionally intelligent one in the show !

so yeah. i can't speak for s4/5 (sowwy i don't remember those (╥﹏╥) ) but for s1-3 and s6, it's definitely very miguel-driven.

which is unfortunate at times in a show that has so many cool characters (as i've been demonstrating for the past almost week) but i love miguel, i do love (from a writing standpoint) how he reflects the narrative. when he locks in, the narrative seems a little unstable but when he's BALANCED and locked in, the narrative is SO locked in (which is why i'm trying to be excited for pt 3 bc he's definitely a bit more balanced than he started in pt 2)

i also hope in pt 3 they keep up the trend of him supporting robby. and while i love him and robby, i do wish (like sam and tory) there was a way for them both to win without one of them losing somehow.

also excited to see them both with their baby sister.

ALSO i love that in all the fics i've read, miguel is just an absolute sweetheart to every single person. like the fact that he's such a sweetheart in canon that there's no reason to make him a jerk in fanon is so cute personally (i'm sure in kiaz fics he has like a little jerk stint for the enemies to lovers but ya know)

i love that every fic always makes him straight too. like the ONLY time he's not 100% straight is if he's the main queer pairing (like kiaz, migeli, migmetri)

miguel is an ally in fanon (and canon obvi). unless he's gay. then he's gay. but usually an ally ✨

!! headcanons !!

obsessed with sam. quite literally canon but. if she'll have him, he's sticking with her forever. like he doesn't have eyes for anyone else. (in canon, he literally only goes with other girls to DISTRACT from sam) (samguel endgame truther here) (i'm also a samtory truther) (i contain multitudes)

his best friends are hawk and demetri obvi but right below them is robby. this also works perfectly when he needs to figure out xmas/bday/anniversary gifts for sam bc his bffs are her bffs !

he listens to a lot of hip hop and some indie stuff (he does bond with kenny and hawk over kendrick lamar) (when the drake and kendrick lamar beef happens, despite not talking to each other for a few years, kenny and miguel blow each other's phones up each time kendrick drops a new diss track) (just making my favs kendrick fans bc i can)

after he leaves for college, he promises to text every day and video calls once a week (though it's a struggle for johnny and rosa to figure it out at first until carmen and robby show them how to do it) (johnny insists, and rosa agrees, that phone calls are just as effective as video calls and they're not as complicated) (they both still really appreciate seeing him though)

(personally not a fan of miguel wanting to go to stanford bc for what? it doesn't make sense to me. but i support him ig)

idk if this is already on tory's entry but miguel (just like the arcade scene in s6 pt 1) frequently tries to talk to and hang out with tory in a group setting but she's just really uncomfortable. she gets a little more relaxed but they never really get past the awkwardness and don't get as close as they were before the school fight. it's miguel though, so he always gets her bday gifts and tries to make her feel included. (tory appreciates the effort. it's just hard to forgive the guy who cheated on you emotionally and physically.)

during the s6 e7 ending mega platform challenge (idk the official name) miguel pushes down the anxiety he feels about the height and seeing other people fall from the height and focuses his stress and anger into winning the fight. it isn't until kwon's death that his trauma from the balcony becomes too much to push back.

sam, johnny, robby, and hawk assume he's quiet and reserved bc of the actual death they just witnessed (and honestly they're all too shaken up themselves to put much thought into it). but a few weeks later (right before the events of pt 3) they notice he still seems off and try to get him to open up to varying degrees of success.

it's surprisingly demetri (the professional compartmentalizer himself) that unintentionally gets miguel to open up after he makes an ill-timed joke (trying to joke through his own anxiety over the situation). miguel just starts rambling and working himself up remembering how it felt to fall and how scary it was to be at a similar height where he could potentially fall again then to see someone else's lifeless bloody body ("how can i just move past it? why do i still get freaked out when my foot falls asleep? why can't things be normal like before all this happened?") and demetri just kinda 🧍‍♂️ bc miguel, of all people, freaking out in front of demetri is new territory.

demetri deflects (like usual) and talks about rhodey from the mcu. how he gets shot in mid-air by vision during civil war and falls to the ground. and he survives bc of his suit, becomes paralyzed, and walks again through the leg braces tony stark made for him. ("it's never shown, leave it to marvel to leave out the actually interesting character arcs, but i think vision regretted hurting rhodey like that. vision isn't evil, he and rhodey were both blinded by war. and rhodey has to learn a new normal. he didn't die and he's just as strong as before. worse could've happened but it didn't. and things are different but there's nothing wrong with that. and he always had tony there to pick him back up, to look out for him.")

this pushes miguel to finally talk to the others about his trauma (which they're all kinda traumatized too so he doesn't feel so alone)(demetri absolutely does not know how much it actually affected him and sometimes cringes at the memory, thinking it's yet another moment of inappropriate yapping due to his own discomfort)

also yeah, mentioned above but miguel gets nauseated when his foot falls asleep or when he gets any sharp back pain.

miguel doesn't talk to the younger kids much but the times he does, he and devon like to yap specifically about johnny, he and anthony talk about karate and daniel, and he and kenny talk about music

he tries to keep up with hawk and demetri's nerd stuff but can't keep up nearly as well as robby and sam, he's just there for the vibes

in conclusion: miguel IS cobra kai, i know many people might disagree bc they like the other characters. trust me, i do too ! that's why miguel's not my number one ! but i really do think the writers intend for him to be the whole show, which is why he's so social and has some dynamic with all of the main characters, though they like to abandon some (*cough* daniel and tory *cough*). there truly would be no show without him but i digress. he's so special to me, the latino representation means so much to me, all his wins are my wins, all his losses are my losses. i've basically grown up alongside these characters so i truly feel so close to them. a message to miguel: you've been pushed back, beaten down, you've disappointed yourself, you've disappointed the closest people in your life. but you always come back. no matter what happens. you know how to push through. you are strong. and that wasn't johnny's doing. that wasn't cobra kai or karate. you are naturally persistent and dedicated. you're loyal, you're empathetic, you're confident and you stand up for what you believe in. if there should be any spin-offs or reintroductions of miguel in the future, i can't wait to see where you end up bc i know you'll be doing great in whatever it is. it's been a great seven years watching you grow. i cannot wait to see your finale ending.

something to consider

I LOVE LOVE LOVE:

the sam and miguel ship/dynamic because they both started out borderline defenseless and passive but they came from a safe home space where they didn't need to be aggressive, and over the course of the show grew into people who, because of how they started and were raised, are now protective and assertive and confident and make the first move to take care of the people they love so that they don't have to

AND

the robby and tory ship/dynamic because they both started out volatile and aggressive because that's how they had to be to survive their childhoods where they couldn't afford weakness, and over the course of the show they grew into people who are loving and compassionate with others and want to be peaceful, because that's not how it has to be anymore, and they're in a place to build up and keep safe the people that they love
