(update links)
Line 7:
* [[Brick Break]]: The ice-breaking scene in ''Part II''
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Dented Iron]] While this movie makes no mistake that Daniel gets beaten and bruised with each fight. He still doesn't back down no matter how many hits are inflicted upon him.
* [[Finishing Move]]: The Crane Technique, the Drum Technique.
* [[Forgot About His Powers]]: Daniel suffers greatly from this trope in ''Part III'', almost to [[Too Dumb to Live]]'s levels at moments.
** Although if you bother to pay attention a lot of it is stupidity that started in ''Part II'', so at least it's consistent.
** Even in the first movie after having his ass kicked by Johnny Daniel starts openly antagonizing him knowing full well Johnny can whip him.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: During the tournament final in ''Part III'', when {{spoiler|Barnes has him so intimidated that he's ready to forfeit the match}}.
Line 17:
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Right before giving Chozen a punch in the nuts in ''Part II''.
* [[Kung Fu Kid]]
* [[Martial Arts HeadbandHachimaki]]: Given to him by Mr. Miyagi in ''Karate Kid''.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: In the fourth movie.
* [[Reluctant Warrior]]
Line 23:
* [[Sword Over Head]]: At the climax of ''Part II'', when {{spoiler|he has Chozen at his mercy and asks him, "Live or die, man."}}
* [[The So-Called Coward]]: Chozen and his goons repeatedly call Daniel a coward throughout ''Part II'' because of his reluctance to fight them. But when a typhoon hits the village, Daniel risks his life to save several villagers, while Chozen cowers in the shelter and refuses to do anything. Sato is so respectively impressed and disgusted with them that he volunteers to help Daniel.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Especially what Terry Silver puts him through in ''Part III'', which is more like torture disguised as training.
* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]: He gives one of these to Mr. Miyagi in ''Karate Kid'' after having his knee taken out by Bobby.
 
Line 33:
** [[Retired Badass]]: A martial artist ''and'' a war veteran.
* [[Berserk Button]]: While Miyagi is a calm, nice and even patient man, there are a few things that would set him off.
** The first is the obvious. Don't say racial slurs or mock him racially. Two Drunken idiots, lost their beer bottles for that via Karate chop.
** Don't hurt kids, especially Daniel and Julie. Miyagi fought off the Cobra Kai single-handily for ganging up on Daniel too many times. Kreese on top of pushing his first button, by calling him a Slope got humiliated by Miyagi for hurting Johnny. Chosen and his gang also learn it the hard way not to mess with Daniel in front of him. Kreese (again) and Silver make get beat up and covered in paint for their trouble. Two strangers harassing Julie are used as people puppets by Miyagi. Finally Dugan gets his for hurting Julie's boyfriend, Eric.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
Line 134:
 
* [[Christmas Cake]]: By her own decision, since she chose to remain a spinster than becoming a prize wife to Sato
* [[Mama Bear]]: A blink if you miss moment, but when Chosen grabs Kumiko as leverage to challenge Daniel to a fight. Yukie is the first to try to run across the bridge and try to grab Kumiko away from him. Had he not threaten to cut Kumiko's throat with a knife, Yukie would have gotten her away.
* [[New Old Flame]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Kumiko, her orphaned niece
Line 143:
