UPDATED SEASON 4 DEMETRI VIDEO: czcams.com/video/tFfXCPVSvlU/video.html
I'm alot like Demetri about 2 hours ago from posting this I came across a gang of about 10 kids I was alone and knew that they were up to no good the " leader" said something to me and I said something back even tho he violated himself I used words much like Demetri so ye that was true have a nice day everyone
@stryfethewarrior I never insult anyone
Yes Sensei
Aay phuc you
Former rival hawk
I like how his character went from assuming protection by Miguel to defending Bert and Nate.
100%
Yes!!
He had to learn the lesson the hard way when his best friend was beating the crap out of him.
Don't rely on friends to protect you because a day may come where they become bitter enemies.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 Well said brother
Interesting note, Demetri is probably the only character that is still friends with both Miguel and Robby since befriending them, he never had a falling out with either one of them.
Yeah, I wonder how that will change now that he knows Robby is on Cobra Kai's side. We'll see!
I think that is the one dynamic that is overlooked and will be the catalyst to Robby's redemption...imagine if you will Demetri makes it to the finals (not such a wild theory) and Kreese lets history repeat and tells Robby to fight dirty against Demetri. Probably wont go well
Here from the future, even though you probs already know this, he had his falling out with Robby
@@kachebelka3416 when?
@@XFactor5a I mean, they literally call him an asshole multiple times throughout season 4 and 5
now come to think of it, Dimitri is the most forgiving character, he held no grudge what so ever.
Exactly!
Yes, I’ve heard some people online saying he should’ve apologized but he doesn’t hold grudges even after the mall fight he was still willing to talk to hawk, and he was very open hearted to him
@@yeatswarden
I really admire how well written he was
@@lethumthiyane5245 same
And even though it was very difficult for him to learn to stand up for himself, he stood up to Johnny immediately when he insulted Hawk
I never found him annoying. In fact, he's one of the most realistic depictions of modern youth on the show. And now, most are rooting for him. I just hope he doesn't go astray. I doubt he will.
Same here, from the first season I related to Demitri quite a bit. I was a social outcast and lacked self-esteem. I tended to talk a lot to compensate as result. Despite this, people were still impressed with my brain smarts. Thanks to my studying various martial arts, I became a much stronger person and my peers stopped seeing me as a nerd. I really like that Demitri is so forgiving of everyone, in spite of the trouble he has encountered up to now. Plus, it was incredible seeing him perform the Kama Kata at the All-Valley Tournament in Season 4.
I remember not liking Demetri at first, I kinda thought he was annoying. But like literally every character in the show, the writers allowed him to grow and change and became one of my favorite characters.
It was very easy to be annoyed by him in S1
yes indeed in season 1 he was very whiny and complaining and a little in season 2 it was slightly funnier though. But in season 3, he was awesome!
I think he was still funny in season 1
Except for Sam, I think everyone still hates her
Miguel doesn't hate her. Neither does Demetri.
I love how they’ve used their wardrobe department to show the character development as well, it just makes me happy lol
They definitely do use it to emphasize certain things
Let's be honest hawk had that wet bedding story coming when dump the drink on his head
Demetri was being civil; Hawk wasn't
*bed wetting * lol
@@aje2321 I know I forgot
Then again the beer pouring wasn't exactly uncalled for when you look at it from Hawk's point of view. Thanks to Johnny Hawk went from being quiet, scared, and weak to being strong, brave and confident. But all Demetri saw was what Kreesd had used Hawk's confidence to turn him into and used that to condemn Cobra Kai as a whole which to Hawk would've been an absolute insult
Yeah that was fucked up...there was no call for that...he was trying to start shit...so Demetri used his best weapon against him...long time friendship and his smartass mouth
I agree. One of my biggest reasons why Demetri is my favorite character is because of how relatable he was as a person. I was the awkward, neurotic and insecure nerd in high school and was something of a class clown.
100% same
did u also get the girl by showing them your legos?
When Demetri came on screen, I got:
"Ya know, I'm something of an introvert myself."
He's a lovable dork, I don't even get half the references he makes but it's still awesome.
Agreed!
I had to get half his dialogues "translated" by my Brother Who saw GoT because I didn't see It😂😂 (sorry for my english)
I dont think he was introverrt, more like socially akward
Demetri has always been my favorite character on Cobra Kai. He's hilarious!
Couldn’t agree more. I loved his character development in Season 3. Best scene of his is from the last episode when he’s in favour of uniting both Eagle Fang and Miyagi Do dojo’s
he’s my favorite too
Frfr
Sameeeeee!😊😊😊😊
Me to
I love this character because its almost literally one of my friends 😂
The way he talks, the way he has to correct something wrong someone said like the moment Demetri said to Johnny "Talk to the police!?" Even Demetri kinda looks like him, so the character of Demitri is 100% relatable 🤣
*101%
120%
I can’t wait to see how they improve in season 4
Same here!
this aged really well, considering that he did fucking amazing at the all valley in season 4.
@@jamesmmart1n Semi-finals at his first tourney!!!
@@jamesmmart1n “This is why he is my favourite male character and Miyagi-Do character and 2nd favourite character overall.”
Dimitri dating Yasmin was one of the best moments ever lol.
The kissing scene was funny af
@@StryfetheWarrior when I saw it the first time I was like "YEEEAAAAHHH! LETS GO MY BOY!!!! HE'S GETTING IT!!!" All out loud and stuff. I get to into the show, it's such a good show lol.
Yeah and then her denying it and him yelling after her “yeah okay Cruella, go and kill a few Dalmatians! I’m in love!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe I'm not a genius like Demitri, but I can really relate to him, like the loyalty aspect and being seen as some "weird girl who can only talk abt her stans" i really like his character
He's definitely not a horrible character
We all have that one friend in our group who's like him. The one who's witty, talkative and nerdy. He's a bit annoying but let's be real, the show wouldn't be as funny w/o him. Great vid btw.
Thank you!
I’m that one friend 🤣
That’s me mentally frankly.
Very relatable
Ok but what if that's basically the entire friend group
I hope Demetri watches Hawk's back, I just have a gut feeling something will happen to hawk.... Anyone else relate?
Same. I’m scared for Hawk next season. The Hawk fans don’t seem to think anyone would be a problem so I’ll just take their word for it😂😂
I reckon Hawk will be jumped by Cobra Kai and they cut off his Mohawk
@@charlieharcombe7585 I think he will be jumped as well, I don't know about the mohawk thing tho
@@charlieharcombe7585 i reckon cobra kai will break his arm. Then demetri will take his place in the tournament. Theres something unsettling when tory said "you better watch your back"
Yep
Hawk: "How can you forgive me so easily? I thought you'd be furious with me."
Demetri: "I was never angry with you. I was sad...because I was afraid you'd lost your way."
Still need to watch Avatar
Awww😍😍😍
😭😭 Bruh
I'm sorry, ain't no way you get to put hands on me and expect us to move on as friends after that. Especially breaking my arm?? Nah, forgiveness over time, yes but we'll never be friends again.
I will say that Hawk isn't going to get off scot free in Season 4 (or it would make sense to not let him get away with everything), I think he still has to answer for trashing Miyagi-Do previously and also the fact that he stole Mr. Miyagi's medal.
@@StryfetheWarrior Cobra Kai are most likely gonna try to jump him
@@StryfetheWarrior Given the things Daniel banished Robby from Miyagi-Do and the dealership over (withholding that he's Johnny Lawrence's son, etc), the ball doesn't look very good in Hawk's court.
If he broke my arm I’d forgive him. 😂
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 Robby has done way worse things that Hawk did like stealing, drug using, not to mention he kicked Miguel over a railing(which dragged Daniel's family name, dealership and dojo through the mud) and yet Daniel still tried to help him by getting him a lighter sentence and offered him a place at Miyagi Do after he got released. Not to mention Daniel was willing to give Miguel a chance to show that he isn't a bad person.
At the end of the day, all Demitri wanted was just to have his Binary Brother back!❤🥰
100%
demetri and hawk being friends again was like shawn michaels and hhh reforming dx after their rivalry
It's so weird when you realize that demetri doesn't have a last name
It's probably kept hidden for good measure
@@StryfetheWarrior yeah what if it’s racist
@@indigo478 They're calling him Daniel LaRacist
It’s some Greek name
Demetri Rascalov?
Demetri Was My Favorite Because I’m Autistic And With The Whole Socializing Thing Was Understandable
I was also very bad with my own social skills for a good chunk of my life
@@StryfetheWarrior Yeah But I Heard Being An Adult Helps With The Socializing
I think the reason people don't like demetri the same as other characters is because out of all of them he's the most real of the cast
Agreed
no he aint.
Stick to your guns all you like, but being fatalistic doesn't make you real. It makes you weak.
@@Ozarka0???
Yep
Fr
i both hate and love demitri because i acted exactly like him in early high school
I will say that Demetri wasn't as cringe as I was back then 😬
When I was Demetri's age, I had all of Demetri's back traits and wish that I had more of Demetri's good traits.
Thank you, I’m glad I’m not the only that thinks Demetri is the most relatable and realistic character on this show
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same bro I love Demitri, what’s crazy is some people say he’s the worst character but I think that it’s just bullcrap he is definitely not the worst character, he has his moments but in season three I loved him.
Season 4 is going to be awesome.
yes I'm so excited :)
Let's just hope it doesn't get ruined by netflix and their woke policies
Can't wait!
@@conneraldeqn9751 i mean cobra kai literally shit on the "woke policies" with Johnny Lawrence
@@417Owsy I mean now that netflix is running it it may get ruined
Demetri had a lot of character growth in season 3 specifically. I’m very excited to see how things go for him and Hawk in season 4.
Same here! I'm interested to see how Hawk will have to face consequences for previous actions (Miyagi-Do dojo trashing), but regardless glad to see he and Demetri have made up.
I like how every video who's character arc involves Hawk, you're like "and Hawk says "Cool it with the nerd sh*t" so..." as a reference to parker yoo cobra kai YTPs.
Haha, I don't do it with just Hawk; Chozen too ;) Though yes I have seen the YTPs
I like how Demitri still tried to forgive Hawk after the mall fight but it was the alcohol on the olive branch that was the last straw.
Agreed
Demetri is awesome character ! I love that all he wants his best friend back.
@skylerloggins he did get his best friend back in season 3 when he joined the combined dojo with Johnny and Daniel as his teachers now.
I am excited to see Robby and Demetri meet again. He will be the one to make a Vader remark. Demetri will be the Myagi Fang pride having develop the farthest. Both Daniel and Johnny had been his Sensei. Daniel is obvious, and he will be more cooperative now that he knows what Johnny was talking about in season 1. I want your the best around playing with his victory against Kyler then loose against Robby while making side remarks calling him Anakin Skywalker. Hopefully that will help in Robby’s redemption.
Also his asshole speech is what made the students work together.
That would be cool. Demetri didn't interact with Robby at all in S3
@@StryfetheWarrior I can see him in season 4 “What is this, your Vader phase”
D:"Robby do you hate sand?"
R: "what are you talking about Demetri?"
D: "You tell me Anakin"
I can so see that
@@LeahWalentosky 😭😭😭😭
Kreese is definitely like Darth Vader; that much is obvious from the season 3 flash backs.
I love Demetri because unlike the rest of the cast, he wasn’t amazing at karate from the start. Miguel, Sam, Robby, Hawk, and most of the others had natural talent and quickly became great fighters. However, Demetri was slower to learn, which seems to be a rare trait in media imo. As a fellow slow learner myself that scene where Daniel broke down the move for him and they practiced at a slower pace together was so great🥺
Agreed. Definitely a bit more realism with his character
Demetri is actually my favorite teen character of the show.
He's got his moments!
Stryfe the Warrior, I was like Demetri back in high school so I can relate to him too. I wasn’t popular and I was nerd like Demetri and I still am.
Gotta embrace who you are
You should do something about Sam's wardrobe choices and how they reflect her character arc, and more importantly, some of her relationships.
That could be a future video for all characters!
@@StryfetheWarrior Yess! She begins as Mini-Amanda, goes rebel, then she is Daddy's tomboy again in the summer. Season three she wears something sleeveless, and feminine, but switches clothes as she fights her problems ...
Her whole arc is mirrored in her clothes. She wears a pink dress to prom, going with Miguel, instead of her first signature blue.
Demetri is my favorite character. His humor is great, he's smart, I like the fact he joins Miyagi Do (my favorite dojo), and overall I really like him. They did a good job creating a character who is very cautious, stupidly funny, and pretty badass. And the actor just did an amazing job. Demetri is the best
Dimetri is my favourite character of the new generation.
robbys mine I like demetri too tho
Notice how every season someone affiliated with same gets in hurt badly by their rival in season one robby's arm was injured by miguel s2 miguel was put into a coma by robbie and in s3 demetris arm was broken by hawk aswell as every confrontation with cobra kai demetri does not want to solve the problem by violence demetri just wants to solve the problem at the soccer game demetri wants to do something about cobra kai because they beat nate up he never once thought about having a brawl with them it isn't until Sam persuades every miyagi-do at the game to fight when demetri participates and at the arcade when cobra kai was provoking chris at work it is sam's first idea to fight instead of resolving things peacefully demetri hesitates about the thought of fighting the cobras not because he is scared we have seen him show that he is by no means scared of hawk and his gang but it is sam who tells everyone to fight and it is sam who leaves the fight and hides when tory brings back up it is not until they are outnumbered when demetri struggles with the fight he is able to fend off every cobra in the arcade but is ultamately the last one standing as he is in the house fight in the result when it is demetri vs all the cobras hawk ends up pinning him down and breaking his arm
.
I personally think sam is the least enjoyable character, and I didn't even notice everyone involved with sam gets hurt. Good eye man
I actually did martial arts from age 6-18 which gave me a edge growing up with being a comic geek Which I applied the famous quote with great power must come great responsibility so has I grew up I was never afraid of anyone who tired to teased and now that Iam 28 I realized that Cobra Kai series reminded me embrace those skills now just like I hope one day to train someone my favorite character is Johnny
I can’t exactly say I relate to demitri because I was only bullied as a very young kid, I started training multiple martial arts after I turned 6 years old (Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Aikido, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, Ninjutsu Wing Shun and Kali) I worked out a lot and made me very athletic and I won quite a few tournaments and obviously because of my extensive martial arts knowledge no one bullied me by the time I was in highschool, I wasn’t popular or anything but my classmates did respect me, even the ones that were “bullies”.
that’s amazing man! Proud of you 💙
Great video on Demetri's character Arc.
Thank you so much!
Does anyone else notice that the only time we saw Hawk smile (shit eating grin style not just a sly cool guy smirk) was when he teamed up with Demetri
It’s funny how in each Season of Cobra Kai, my opinions on Demitri have evolved:
Season 1: Didn’t like him
Season 2: Annoying but is slowly growing on me
Season 3: I think he’s funny
Ngl same
Hawk is Probably My Favorite Character, But I Relate Most to Demetri
I can see that
@@StryfetheWarrior Lol, Don’t Mind My Profile Pic, it’s a Picture of Me When I Was Like 11 and I Haven’t Changed it, I Probably Should Because it’s Pretty Weird 😂
Nobody phrased my thoughts about Demetri better than you did, besides, the message you give about the people who like you or not is really wholesome and helpful, great video!
Personal I think Demetri was kind of used to talk for Eli. I think Demetri made lot of choices for Eli that maybe Eli did not always agree with. Notice Eli first talks to Miguel at the Halloween dance. When Hawk shown up he wasnt sure how to react. So Demetri had lost the control of Eli.
Really been loving your videos lately,keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
i cant wait for season 4, so hyped
Sadly it starts this October or next October
Same here!
I think we can all relate to him on some level, at some time
Agreed
The anecdote at the end earned you a like my friend!
I bonded hard with Hawk. I was bullied until the principal told me to fight back, he'd look the other way (can you imagine that happening today?) I started handing out bloody noses and found it was fun and effective. I did karate and boxing later in life, and immediately learned that the intensity of your repressed anger means nothing when someone's fighting back. It was fun to do and acquire skills , and it did earn me respect as an adult that I didn't have as a kid. Dmitri's (almost) continuous support and instant forgiveness shows an incredible strength of character that few could match.
aw heck yeah, homie, been waiting for this - our boy, our king, finally immortalized, finally understood. respect, man
freakin' loved it!!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Well said at the end .
loved the vid!
Thank you!
@@StryfetheWarrior Np!!!!
His character development is my favorite
He's come a long way
0:02 Alexopoulos. It’s mentioned at the Tournament toward the end of Season 4 during his first fight; right before Hawk regains his confidence.
As someone who was bullied, and had to learn to stand up for my self(which the self confidence came from martial arts) his character has always hit home with me. I was never popular but once i stood up for my self(never became physical thankfully) i at least wasn't constantly bullied. Probably not a stretch to say martial arts saved my life as i was in a bad place mentally until then
Demitri is definitely one of my favorite characters in CK. My dude is sassy, smart, kind, forgiving, loyal, and brave enough to try. Unlike with Cobra Kai, where he at least had connections, Miyagi-Do was full of unknowns for him. He didn't know Sam personally, Daniel is a big shot business owner, plus Robby has a rivalry with Cobra Kai going back to the tournament, and Demitri is a known friend of Miguel and Hawk from school. He had no guarantees they would even take him, but he came anyway, and was able to be honest with Daniel about his motivations and struggles. No matter how long it takes him he always keeps going until he learns. He is observant and studious, even if he can't always copy right away. Not to mention he never holds a grudge! Even after gaining new friends with Chris and Sam and the other MDs, he tries to show Eli that he still wants his friendship too, and is willing to bury the hatchet until Eli shows his vindictiveness. And after Eli breaks his freaking arm, causing him excruciating physical pain (Demitri's least favorite type of pain), he still accepts Eli's apology and puts aside his more complicated feelings for later so they can finish the fight.
He isn't perfect, but he certainly has a lot of qualities that are worth to be striven for.
He did know Sam personally a little bit. He (along with Miguel) was a science project partner with her.
Great work 😎🥋
Thank you!
Even if you skimmed over it rather quickly, I'm glad you at least acknowledged that Demetri was jealous & unsupportive of Eli/Hawk after he gained confidence, popularity & a girlfriend. Something that significantly contributed to the rift in their friendship which is often completely overlooked by Demetri apologists. Demetri had "neurotic" passive aggressive "nerd bully" tendencies, which is why he and Yasmine deserve each other. They're the same person. Unlike Hawk, who constantly had to pay for his flaws the, narrative as thus far has given Demetri a pass for his own crappy behavior which he has never even acknowledged, let alone apologized for.
I try to be objective as I can with these videos, and offer a different perspective on characters, whether they are polarizing or almost completely hated. Sometimes things do get left out or skimmed over but it's not intentional as the last thing I want to do is be biased. It would make no sense to talk about a character without talking about their flaws; you can still like a character and be aware of their flaws/mistakes. I do my best to treat everyone the same and as much as I am huge fan of Johnny, Daniel, and Miguel, I called out their mistakes.
Cobra Kai is a great show that really focuses on the "gray" of the situation, because both sides you want to cheer for but they also do questionable things at times, and that's ok. You can like one side or both.
@Ban this youtube this comment was pretty old but this was an interesting perspective of demetris character. Tho I think he's more of a snarky negative dude who expected people to follow by the book (cuz having that expectation is predictable instead of dealing with ppl who defy those expectations). Being somebody who's too logical at least formally, I see some of what demetris saying to logically make sense I.e why do karate when I have you, if someone is being violent towards u just call the police. Even that scene where he picks up chick's at the beach, he contailed off of cobra kais success without doing anything but at least he acknowledges that "I'm enjoying the gain without the pain". Even the shit he was saying before s1e5 makes logically sense even tho it stems from a negative mindset. You can say he's being resourceful in a sense, but this just makes sense logically. Overall, I didn't like he was passing up overall development for short term protection, cuz what if they're not around? He also expects ppl to follow by the book which is not how bullies work.
@Ban this youtube i think this makes him more realistic, as not everyone has the confidence to stand up for themselves. Really gives a lot of character depth to demetri
in one of the episodes it said his surname its Demetri Alexopoulos
Good shit as always brother
Thanks man!
Just like you brudda, I was once a Demitri too, well still kind of am in a way. Love your vids man!
Thank you so much!
Demetri is my favorite character in Team Miyagi-Do because he is the direct contrast of Eli/Hawk. He is legitimately the third strongest amongst Daniel's top students and only uses karate when there are no more options left like when he was cornered by Hawk. In Season 4, I think Demetri is going to be Daniel's second strongest fighter, next to none other than Sam of course, in the All Valley Tournament because Robby has switched sides in Season 3. I'm hoping that he will represent Miyagi-Do in the semifinals. As for who is the opponent he will be facing, my bets are either Miguel and Robby.
If he will be matched up with Miguel and win their friendly match, Demetri will face Robby in the finals which means that he and Robby will have a similar fight that Johnny and Daniel had in the first movie and the one that Miguel and Robby had in Season 1 wherein the final match is between the stars of Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. Once Daniel will pass on his iconic headband to Demetri, he is truly the embodiment of Miyagi-Do's first rule: karate is for defense only.
Love this vid
Ayyy I love the vids
Thank you so much!
Yeah...I was Dimitri too. You made good points and a good vid as always. 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
i relate to that dude that just walked off when school fight started and we never saw him again(he was second plan character its likely you havent seen him and he wasnt part of any dojo too)
He started out as a spineless wimp. He forgave his old friend for his horrible actions, and gained confidence, and then scored his dream girl. Dude is a great character, and brilliantly portrayed by the actor.
Great character analysis
Thank you!

Demetri has always been my favorite character in the show
That speech about yourslef at the end just earned my sub
I grew to like him in season 3 he was nerd still but was dedicated to work hard and train and get better I hope he’s even better in season 4
Demetri has been one of my favorite characters since I first saw him in the series. He's very relatable for me because he's practically me if I had been a character in the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai universe when I was in high school. The only real difference, other than physical appearance and the era he grew up in (I was a high schooler in the late 1990s) is that he's more of a comic book nerd and I was more of a high fantasy nerd.
definitely grew on me as the series progressed
Back in highschool I had a friend like dimitri, we played terraria lmao
Never played, heard good things about it
Demitri's growth was the most fun for me to watch.
His last name is Alexopoulos. Season 4 episode, "The Rise." They announced his name, and it's on the wall list during the quarterfinals.
He did so well in the all valley, so proud of him!
Demetri is the golden boy and my favorite character.
In the first season, Demetri was suffering from a severe lack of confidence and was being picked on a lot, just like Eli and Miguel. However, while Miguel and Eli joined the Cobra Kai dojo and adopted many of Johnny Lawrence’s bad qualities and misguided teachings, Demetri stood up to Johnny, pointing out how rude it was to make fun of Eli’s appearance and leaving Cobra Kai, realising how bad it would be.
In the finale of season 2, Demetri took sensei LaRusso’s advice to use physical violence as a last resort. He initially retreated during the West Valley brawl, only kicking Hawk into a trophy case when it was absolutely necessary.
When Eli was in a slump, Demetri gave Eli the pep talk that he needed. This pep talk was so effective, that Eli did not return to Eagle Fang, he joined Miyagi-Do. Demetri used to be very awkward around the ladies, so much so that he felt awkward talking to his mother, now he is in a relationship with Yasmine. Demetri was an all around great guy, not only in season 4, but pretty much since the pilot episode.
Am I the only one who was happy when he kick Hawk into a trophy case
I actually jumped to my feet and cheered the first time I saw that scene! I also accidentally unplugged my headphones from my computer in the process! XD
@@DamonNomad82 nice
One thing I appreciate about Demetri is that, of all the characters in the show, he’s the only one who uses his words like weapons. Not just for starting fight, but for avoiding them too.
I don’t recall demetri ever being the bully🤣
He said bullied but so fast. I had to check it myself.
@@augustinensang3109 but why would he say the in front of it
@@kevinschmidt2173 Yeah, would have made more sense to say the bully target.
Speech impediment. I've been trying to rework my speech so it's more clearer in videos. It's gotten better compared to my first videos but it still pops up at times
@@StryfetheWarrior Yeah I have a speech impediment too, wasn’t trying to offend u, just joking around, Great video btw👍
Demetri getting Yasmine after she fully admits to her wrongdoing in the past was one of the most immensely satisfying things I've seen in a while tbh. I really enjoyed how they showed this because it shows how anyone can change so long as they're given the chance and they take that chance to actively work on repairing the damage they've done before.
Before s3 I was fighting for my life just to defend demetri because he reminded me of my self and he was and still an amazing character people refused to look into
Demetri was always my favourite character since S1 I feel bad that he gets all the hate, he went from a nerd to a badass in S3 I can’t wait for Demetri and Hawk/Eli do more binary brother duo against Kyler
I would love to see that!
Don't worry, you'll get your chance.
I love Dimitri because he’s so relatable, and is the most realistic character in the show, I did not really like him in season one, season two he got a little better, but in season three he was awesome. And he became one of my favorite characters.
This guy should have at least 1 million subscribers
1 million isn't good enough, he needs to have 100 million
I love the soundtracks you use from the cobra Kai game. I hoped you enjoyed it I know I did fighting kreese with my dad was the best part of the game, at least for me. My dad was Johnny because he loves how badass he was and my dad finds him relatable because of the time he went on a rant about how you bullied someone to their face because it was respect and honour tell me what your favourite part of the game was for you
The soundtrack, for sure
Demitri has had as strange a character shift as Miguel. He latched onto and leeched positive social interaction from Cobra Kai while not taking part in the training himself and completely missed that it wasn't karate itself that caused his friends to become popular, it was their willingness to stand up to others and effectively become bullies themselves. They were becoming athletic, and people were a bit afraid of them which was seen as respect. Demitri never really understood this even once he joined Miagi Do because once he got a little bit of skill and a few friends, he started to become a bit of a jerk himself actively provoking Hawk on multiple occasions. He was the ONE student on either side who embraced defense only and violence as a last resort at the School Brawl, but then actively went looking for trouble at the Laser Tag which resulted in his broken arm. He still hasn't learned to use his karate for defense only and to not go looking for situations he'd have to use it.
His weird relationship with Yasmine came really out of left field and it wasn't until I saw season 3 a 2nd time that I understood why it existed at all. It wasn't because his social standing, physique, and confidence rose the way Hawk got Moon, it was because HER social standing was destroyed and she latched on to him. We still haven't seen enough of them to understand their connection as anything more than acquaintances with 1st base benefits, so maybe season 4 will give us more depth to Yasmine and why she would become more involved with someone she still seems to see as not good enough for her even while guiltily making out with him.
Demetri and Hawk I once felt were as important to watch as the Sam/Tory story of privilege and struggle, or the Miguel/Robby story of getting the father figure they wanted while making poor choices. But now with Hawk changing sides so easily and quickly, and Demitri still just not getting the point of Miyagi Do (as NONE of Daniel's students did) I'm not sure how much more there is for that pair of rivals.
I guess I can relate to Dimitri I yous to shy and nerding alot of people I know that would change who they are Just to not get picked on anymore but not me the only one reason why I changed is to learn how to defend myself and my friends are my family besides that the one thing I like about Dimitri is that even though he now's karte now he is still himself I never realised that Dimitri reminds me so much of me back in prireay school and high school and honestly whats the point of being popular and friends with the cool kids all your going to be known as one of the new cool kids what it means is that you have to do new cool and bad things they won't talk to you or anything they aren't your true brothers your true brothers were right beside you along so yeah Dimitri keep being yourself mate but one more thing don't hate me but I still thing hawk is still a little bit of a asshole
Nothing wrong with that opinion
I’d love an update to this after all his growth in season 4
BRO HE IS SO UNDERRATED WTF HES MY FAVE
When one becomes all out of fence and the other is ultra defensive. Perfect duo
One of the most slept on characters in the show and is my favorite.
Demetri is probaly the character who has like the most common sense
I’m actually related to Eli aka hawk because I always felt like an outcast but when I saw cobra Kai I gotten the confidence that I needed to be bad ass I got called blaze for my nickname
