Milos, my blue pinstripe.

So, what do you think?

He's obnoxious.

Yeah, he's perfect.

Very good. This make special bonsai.

You really see a bonsai in here?

Where?

Inside.

Inside?

Hello, any bonsai in here?

Daniel-san, not inside. Inside you.

Same place your karate come from.

But my karate comes from you.

Only root karate come from Miyagi.

Just like bonsai choose own way grow.

Because the root is strong.

You choose own way.

Do karate same reason.

Yeah, but I do it your way.

One day you do own way.

Remember what you said before about

bonsai being free to grow as they choose?

All bonsai aren't free to choose.

We tell them how to grow

by using clippers and then the wire.

But, Daniel-san,

our bonsai not true bonsai.

True bonsai grow wild. Very rare.

You ever seen any?

Okinawa.

What about here?

I only know of one.

What did it do, immigrate?

With Miyagi.

Only thing Miyagi bring from Okinawa.

Where's the tree now?

There.

Devil's Caldron.

Devil's Caldron?

No can see bonsai from here.

Good place. Very safe. Nobody bother.

Why did you put it

in such a hard place to get to?

True original bonsai

worth many thousand dollar.

Come, time learn special

Miyagi-family kata.

Now you ready.

Like all bonsai found in tree,

all karate found in this kata.

Come, together we do kata.

Hi, Mr. Miyagi.

I brought this tree,

the one you were working on this morning.

I thought you might want

to give it another try.

Thank you.

A change of scenery

might bring what's inside outside.

- Where should I put it?

- Over here.

Very good.

You've done a lot of work here.

This place is bigger than I thought.

- There's your charcoal.

- Thank you.

Perfect.

I hope you don't mind...

...but I opened that letter.

The one that came today

from the All Valley Tournament.

There's a new rule this year.

- Would you like to read about it?

- No.

That's okay because I got it memorised.

It says:

"Under the new rules...

"...the defending champion

only needs to fight in the final match."

Isn't that great?

That limits my fights to just one.

That's better

than what I had to put up with last year.

And let's face it, it's another year.

It's a year later.

I'm a lot more experienced.

So I think we should

seriously reconsider this.

- Right?

- Wrong!

Wrong?

Should consider get

new pot for bonsai.

I don't know what the big deal is.

I mean, what is your problem with this?

If karate used defend honour,

defend a life...

...karate means something.

If karate used defend plastic metal trophy...

...karate no mean nothing.

Understand?

I wish I did.

Go find a nice pot for bonsai across street.

Here's your pen.

Before I forget.
