This is one of my favorite scenes between Johnny and Daniel. They apologize to each other, explain honestly and heartfelt about their feelings, agree to work together and then bow to each other showing how much respect they have for each other. They didn't have to bow, but they did. They solidified their bond of friendship and officially became true friends. This contrasts perfectly with the friendship between Kreese and Silver who would never bow to each other. Now Johnny and Daniel can take on Kreese and Silver because they're united as one, stronger together.
the is my childhood and a lot peoples childhood and to see they are all still friends like at regionals and nationals to internationals😭 I love them , how does time go so quick ?
Daniel really became likeable again(from the standpoint of it becoming possible for him & Johnny to be on the same side)once he finally realized also that Johnny did NOT want to be or end up like Kreese in any way
Much respect to both characters for apologizing to each other. They definitely deserved to win. Especially with Sam fully satisfied that both of her sensei's reunited in time for her final match
