    One thing to respect about Demetri is that even if his newfound karate skills, he's still the most rational kid in the show and is the least likely to get involved with conflicts. He's also incredibly loyal to Miyagi-do at all times even if he questions Sam's judgement and aggressive attitude towards Cobra Kai.

      Same man. Since Miguel has already kicked his ass twice and Hawk beat up his friend Brucks I thought Demetri fighting Kyler in the tournament would not only be a refreshing take on the season it would even improve Demetri's character arc in season 4. It would also be a total surprise and a welcome one if he actually beat Kyler in the tournament as Kyler has bullied Demetri just as much as he bullied Miguel and Eli so it would make sense if Demetri beat Kyler in the tournament.

    Demetri's chances in a future tournament would definitely increase if Chozen taught him the pressure point techniques. If he hones his ability to anticipate his opponents moves even more, he could be a very effective counter striker. He was unable to land any point strikes with Robby, but I can see him managing to hit his legs and arms pressure points before going in for a point hit.
    He wins with skills rather than strength.

    STRYFE THE WARRIOR: This is a great video. Demetri has had a lot of growth over the past seasons and what was best about his development that made it so different from the others is that it was a real growth and not a change at all. He gained a lot especially in terms of bravery and self confidence. He is the only one of the students that truly understands and follows down to the letter the Miyagi Do teachings and philosophies especially in terms of forgiveness, friendship and only fighting when it's necessary, when you have no other choice. Mr. Miyagi would be honored and proud to have him on his team because if anything he's very similar to Mr. Miyagi and is the true Miyagi Do kid.

    Plus if they had acted differently it wouldn't have mattered because Sam was still Sam meaning her actions is what sparked their rivalry.

    While I recognize his type, I don't relate to Demetri at all. His attitude has improved the past 2 seasons but he was an insufferable twerp & unsupportive friend through seasons 1-2. He was the kind of kid in high school who thinks people don't like him because he's a "nerd" when it's really because he's a condescending asshole with poor social skills which often rubs people the wrong way.

    I actually don’t like where the show is going in seasons 3 and 4, everybody can’t be sympathetic. This has nothing to do with Demetri but what should have happened was Miyagi-Do won the tournament and Johnny got Cobra Kai back but Silver betrayed the promise instead of LaRusso. When he did that not knowing they were cheating he dampened all that I thought of him. If the show is called Cobra Kai you would expect them to be the protagonists instead of the sympathetic antagonists. I find it hard to root for anyone because of all the hate and sympathy I fell for each character.(Except for Johnny and Miguel of course.)
