The Greatest Victory (Episode 2)
Daniel, Mr. Miyagi and Taki travel to Hong Kong in search of the shrine. Mr. Miyagi goes to visit his friend Tanaka who he thinks can help him find the shrine. Tanaka gives the trio a cryptic line that will lead them to where he lives. As the trio wander the streets looking for Tanaka, a shopkeeper is hassled by the foot soldiers of the Dragon, a gang boss running an exortion racket. Mr. Miyagi defeats the foot soldiers and then returns to finding Tanaka. After finding the places that correspond to the elements in the riddle, they find Tanaka living on the roof with his biological daughter Rina and adopted sons Shen Ying and Ki Wu. The siblings and Daniel begin an anti-Dragon movement, rallying the local people to stop the exortion while Miyagi, Taki, and Tanaka track down the shrine to a local merchant. The anti-Dragon movement fails when the people run away at the sight of the Dragon's men and the kids and Tanaka are beat up by the thugs. Tanaka finds the shrine in the mechant's shop and learns of its power when the shrine heals his injuries. Tanaka shares the shrine's power with his children, who use the power to take back items the Dragon's men have extorted away from the people. In response the Dragon has his men take Tanaka hostage. Ki Wu goes to get the shrine and confront the Dragon and his men. In the Dragon's office Ki Wu puts the shrine down to fight the men holding his father, only to have the Dragon come from behind the door and grab the shrine. He uses the shrine to make Tanaka and Ki Wu his magically mind controlled men and sends them out to fight Daniel, Mr. Miyagi and others who have come to rescue them. Daniel and Taki go to get the shrine from the Dragon, who uses the power of the shrine to strengthen himself, while Mr. Miyagi fights the mind controlled father and son. Upon tripping the Dragon up with balls from a pool table, the shrine falls into a pool and carry out to sea, which releases Ki Wu and Tanaka from the mind control.
