Cobra Kai Used The Magic Of Modern Technology
Pat Morita could not reprise his role as Mr. Miyagi forCobra Kaiseason 6 , part 3 , but that did n’t stop the Netflix series from including the player ’s semblance in this final batch of episode . This was likely done in the same way as in season 6 , part 2 . Morita ’s face would have been localise over that of a stand - in using CGI , andthe " deeply fake " would have been refine to seem as born and believable as potential . Producer Josh Heald previously notedthat this was all done with the blessing of Morita ’s estate , ensuring that Mr. Miyagi ’s on - screen Resurrection of Christ was handled with respect and care :
There ’s a lot of technical thing that you need to do with visual effect … There ’s obviously talking to Pat ’s estate of the realm and create certain that they ’re aware and that they ’re comfortable and that they sign off on that … Even though you ’re not let an thespian there on set , it ’s still his likeness .

This likely comes down to the recent advancements in this type of technology . While Miyagi ’s return in both sequences was n’t arrant , the CGI was n’t as unsettling as other attack in movies and TV to make for deceased histrion to the sieve . Mr. Miyagi is a deeply bed type , and it was of import that Morita ’s performance be prise .
While Miyagi ’s paying back in both sequences was n’t perfect , the CGI was n’t as unsettling as other attempt in movies and TV to bring deceased actor to the screen .
Additionally , it was essential for the development ofCobra Kai ’s characters that Mr. Miyagi not seem in this way until the ending . There have been several flashbacks to theKarate Kidmovies throughout the spinoff , and Daniel fancy immediate visions of Mr. Miyagi standing in his home in previous seasons .
