* CharacterDerailment: {{YMMV}}, but many fans believe that the introduction of Mr Miyagi's life long love in Yukie derided the emotion of his {{Heroic BSOD}} in the first movie.
** Also, after that was established to show that Ali wasn't shallow and loved Daniel deeply for who he was in the first movie, it's revealed in the second that she dumped him for a handsome football player.
*** HilariousInHindsight because this is exactly what she did to Johnny for Daniel.
