Cobra Kai - Rivalry Resurrected (Part 1)

Zabka acting is amazing. When Daniel tells him the repairs will cost more than the car is worth. Johnny’s face tells the whole story. He doesn’t want to ask Daniel for free repairs but has no other choice.

Regarding the car dealership scene, people focus in on Daniel teasing Johnny but they ignore how friendly Danny was and how is was about to use his friends and family discount and then literally did the job for free. That is just so unbelievably kind and forgiving. Imaging doing something so nice to someone who used to beat you up so badly you couldn't breath. But that just proves what nice guy Danny is. Remember that next time someedgy guy on the internet tries to say Danny was the real villain.

[@shahriarahmed5947]

Niether of them are acutally the bad guy when the show "Cobra Kai" started. Johnny and Daniel both wanted to leave the past alone. But fate has brought them together again because of the whole misunderstanding. Johnny thought Daniel was setting him up by planning to wreck his car on purpose. Daniel thought Johnny didn't changed because he heard that he had beaten up her daughter's friend when in actuality, he was protecting a defenseless victim. It was all just a misunderstanding.

[@generalesdeath5836]

S-man Orko that seems to be the message of Cobra Kai. That no one is perfect, that “good guy” and “bad guy” get thrown around too easily, and most importantly that there are two sides to every story.

Kreese is the Bad Guy Here He haven’t Change ever Since Part 3 He Even said Cobra Kai Never dies as I know From my Point I think Robby is better then hawk right Now Kreese Only has Tory She’s The best they got and Hawk

[@FalconFlyer75]

its a mix, we the viewers get to see the whole story, we get to see the moments that prove Johnny is not the monster we might have thought he was in KK1, however Daniel doesn't get exposed to any of that (on the rare occasions he does they actually get along great) Daniel seems to blame most of his issues on Kreese's Cobra Kai (correctly), and when he sees Johnny open Cobra Kai back up he sees that as bringing Kreese back (which is why he fights so brutally against it) people treat things as too black and white imo

[@zcm007attack]

@@nisaeltorres8093 It wasn't the Cobra Kai name; it was the people who were running it (Kreese/Silver). Daniel's problem is that he was very snide in Episode 2 when he confronted Johnny about 'jumping' Kyler's gang which he fails to understand occurred for the same reason Miyagi helped him out in the first place. He is willing to let his ego and insecurities get in the way of seeing Cobra Kai in a new way. Furthermore, he fails to realize that instigating a needless rivalry is something he, his family or students had nothing to gain from. Miyagi would be terribly disappointed in him. Johnny's gang (except Dutch) changed overtime and recognized the error of their ways but still retain their skills albeit for better purposes (Episode: Take a Right). I bet if Daniel were to meet Johnny/Jimmy/Bobby together in later episodes it would help them form the right cohesion necessary to take down Kreese.

[@zcm007attack]

@@nisaeltorres8093 The problem is, the way Daniel tried to take down Cobra Kai ended up causing more problems than solved; he did not handle it the way Mr. Miyagi would intend for him to. It was not Johnny that put up Hawk/Tory to carrying out inappropriate actions; that was Kreese's doing. Johnny was adament about the new Cobra Kai foundation of learning the difference between no mercy and no honor and in the beginning, it was quite successful. Take Kreese out of the equation, and Hawk never would've found inclination to jump Dimitri nor would Tory have went all out at Sam. Besides, it was Daniel's student who caused more harm to Johnny's student than any injuries inflicted on Daniel's students. Daniel's training came up short when it came to preventing emotions from getting in the way. Miguel upheld the values Johnny was teaching him; Robby failed to do the same for Daniel.

And in the end, they shake hands, grab a beer and split the rent on the dojo and develop a new strain of karate, combining the centred control of miyagi do. And the aggression of cobra kai.

The only problem was that in the process of confronting and kicking Larusso's ass at the new miyagi dojo is that 2 of his students were with him Larusso's protege (Johnny Lawrence son) & Larusso Daughter. While confronting Larusso, Johnny Lawrence kid tries to back up his sinsai and the bad ass from k.k pt.3 kicks him in the face which makes his gf (Larusso daughter) jump in and try to fight him with her weak strength and gets slapped the fuck out cold...seeing this Larusso starts fighting with the guy and puts up a fight but ends up getting beating badly to a coma. Cut to Johnny Lawrence visiting both his son and Larusso in the hospital after the attack and Johnny realizing the only person who can stop the guy is him since he knows everything about his fighting style if not more from what Kresse taught him since he was his original protege.

Johnny, Bobby and Dutch all land face/head kicks in their matches and win points. (Dutch kicks Daniel square in the face at one point, you see Dan rubbing his eyes before he resets for next point) So what about Daniel kicking Johnny in the face is illegal?

The thing about rivals, you love them and hate them at the same time, if you lose, at least it brought the best out of you. I had rivals in baseball in my youth. My team lost in the title game , last inning, (heart breaking), I hated it for years, but when I got older, I found a appreciation for it, because it was the most intense competition in my career. Johnny and Daniel should have the same feeling, it brought out the best in Daniel to step up to a huge challenge and Johnny gave it his best but lost to an intense match.

Daniel wouldn’t be up Johnny’s ass so they don’t have to go through the rent bullshit and Daniel being a prick on not wanting Cobra Kai reinstated, Kyler still would’ve eventually broken up and spread a rumor about Sam, Miguel would kick his ass, more kids would join Cobra Kai, he dates Sam, they enter the tournament with no problem, and Robby is stuck living a shitty life with his mom and not ruining everything.

This whole conflict could've been settled if not for Samantha, Louie, and Robbie. No Samantha and Johnny accepts the help, maybe even greatly thanking Daniel. No Louie and Johnny moves onto healing his dark feelings. But Louie drives the anger. No Robbie and Johnny gets his sparring match with Daniel.

[@metsrus]

not only paranoid but a bit jealous of Daniel's success. The trailer made it look like Daniel was gonna be a jerk, but he really did try all he can to help Johnny with the car. Daniel said he never blamed Johnny but rather Cobra Kai was the problem. Then what does Johnny do, he resurrect Cobra Kai to spite Larusso, training Miguel was only secondary as he never intended to train him in the first place. Sorry Cobra Kai fans, but Johnny is still a bit of a hot-headed jerk.

[@rusty7984]

Tom Ly He didn’t open Cobra Kai to spite Daniel he did because he needed a job, it was the only positive thing in his childhood, and I guess to help out Miguel probably because deep down he saw himself in him

[@metsrus]

How can you say he didn't re-open the dojo to spite Daniel when it was the immediate deciding factor after he left the dealership. Daniel: I don't blame you for what happen back in the days. I know that wasn't you. It was Cobra Kai and we're all better off without it, am I right? *gives bonsai tree to Johnny who stares blankly* Johnny walks out the parking lot, intentionally drops the bonsai. Next scene, he asks Miguel if wants to be his student, who he said kept telling "no" to every time Miguel asked before.

[@myduckisonqauck7227]

I think you guys are over analyzing things. Johny feels insulted that Daniel is making cobra kai out to be evil, and Daniel the good guy. To be fair daniel was the one who continually escalated things. Not as much jealousy, more like awkward of a failure to his accomplished peer.

[@alguien1234]

Tom Ly He decided to reopen Cobra Kai after he watched a movie that motivated him, I think... I don't remember... But he wouldn't open it to bother Daniel because he didn't even tell Daniel. He needed a job a he liked Karate. You're just doing a lot of drama about it, like Daniel did.

Also, I don't think he ever asked his Cousin to do Crimiimal things to Johnny including destroying. I rewatched the 3 Original Karate KId Movie after seeing Cobra Kai. Actually, I don't blame La Russo from trying to Stop Cobra Kai. Especially in the 3rd Karate Kid Movie and especially with Terry Silver- Cobra Kai really is pure Evil. I think if you take a look at Terry Silver's head, there is a 666 on it. But as the Creaters of Cobra Kai said, Cobra Kai is more Grey. The Cobra Kai that Johnny Lawrence is trying to create is much different than the Cobra Kai of Kreese of Terry Silver.

Makes sense now, Johnny Lawrence is the new Miyagi. He beats up some bad kids. He was that bad kid once. This Miyagi however grew up in Cobra Kai and was rocked out of his passion for martial arts but at least we see that he’s totally redeemed because this is about Cobra Kai. The Miyagi Do part of our current students is that they have been taught defense by Chozen and Daniel, they all have at some point learn from Cobra Kai too. Our new Daniel is of course Miguel and the Johnny Lawrence is Robbie. He had a few drinks during the break and cheated on the Ali Mills of the story or female JL is Tory. Samantha being female DL. Robbie has a loyal gf and he breaks her heart like Johnny did Ali. This is just a theory though. Pretty basic, no deep thought.
