Terry Silver is TERMINALLY ILL - HE IS DYING - PROOF! Cobra Kai Season 5

[@CobraKaiTheory]

I hope this would entail for an amazing send off and character development for Terry Silver in Cobra Kai season 6, IF THIS IS TRUE. I hope it's not tbh, because Terry Silver is my favourite character in all of the Karate Kid universe. However, if it is...well...it would explain many things you guys mentioned in the preview video's comments. What does everyone think??

I agree with you. Silver was always my favourite character even before this season. But damn, this season cemented his legacy as one the greatest villains of all-time. If he goes out, I want him to go out with all guns blazing.

[@youkai3785]

Remember, in KK3, Silver WAS on drugs, and in a lot of cases, recovering users DO have a compromised defense to Illness and disease. So it's possible that after getting clean, he got sick before S4.

[@MTTT19]

I think one of the main reasons Terry Silver went back to Cobra Kai is that he believes dying from a terminal illness is a pathetic way for him to go out and he wants to go down fighting like he should have done in Vietnam.

[@NH1973]

Very good theory. It would also explain why Silver was hanging around with all those people at the start of S4. Part of leaving behind a good legacy as a philanthropist

[@lareh5501]

*YUP!* Even makes it plausible to why he was convinced to help kreese back at cobra kai initially. He knows giving money around those other rich folks wasn't/wouldn't be as lasting an effect as empowering and leaving his impression on young karate students. They'd carry on their appreciation amd potentially teach others long after his death. Even his early conversations with kreese about how they should do things differently and get back to what their teaching was all about reemphasize leaving a legacy. Season 5 his public interactions are at charity events and/or about offering karate for free to disadvantaged kids. He even mentioned his students would receive a reduction in their fees when he brought in the other senseis.

I see it as Silver having some sort of brain tumor that feeds off of adrenaline. That was why he was in a calmer place when we encountered him in season 4. That and the medication, the doctors, etc all helped him survive. Kreeses return and involvement with CK all feed the tumor with feuds, growth, planning, etc.

Wow that's such a good theory to be honest. I absolutely love silver he's my favorite character from the movies and from the show. I know he's been doing some evil things but I really do like his relationship with Kenny. As harsh as it sounded silver really did give Kenny good advice throughout the season. I really hope if there's a future for silver they explore a path towards not necessarily a redemption but more of a understanding of why he is the way he is. I really liked the silver we had in the first seven episodes of season 4, and I truly think if Kreese wouldn't have triggered silver he would have been one of the best senseis. Thomas Ian Griffith plays the part so well and I would hate to see him be done with this show on such a note.. anyways season 5 was awesome can't wait for the future

[@Scorch1028]

There are 3 things that can refute the “terminally ill Terry Silver theory”: 1) He has virtually no “ring rust” after a 35-year-sabbatical from karate. 2) Terry is 15 years older than Daniel and Johnny, and yet he still managed to beat each of these much younger “active karate practitioners” in a 1-on-1 fight. 3) Terry showed no signs of weakness or fatigue in his fight against Chozen. So, if Terry Silver is actually terminally ill, then he has a damn near “supernatural resistance” to the effects of his illness.

[@AuraFire666]

Not necessarily. My grandmother worked everyday, cleaning her own house to the point where it's spotless, walking all around her house cleaning and working, at 80 years old, up until the week before she passed. We never new that she was terminally ill or that she had stage 4 kidney cancer.

[@tammykolu1242]

You can be dying and still be in good shape but he is old and can go toe to toe with 40 50 year olds

[@AwedecaiPlays]

This HAS to be real. And now that I think on it, there was a moment that *even I* found peculiar in episode S05E10, when Silver (after defeating Chozen) is talking to Johnny, and right before he leaves to face Daniel, he has a little moment where he touches his chest in a sickly fashion. Another thing I noticed, is in episode 2, when Silver admits to Chozen (who is undercover) that he never had any children, all that he has is Cobra Kai. As far as I'm concerned, the writers are 100% hinting that Silver is either terminally ill or is suffering irreversible heart problems due to his excessive use of c0caine. And revenge. Probably the c0caine though.

Terry wanted to be his own MAN and considered a warrior but ended up working for his dad instead after being taught cobra kai's No Honor/No Mercy mentality. he has exceptional qualities such as loyalty and intelligence..he was a loyal man to his father, his sensei, and his country as well as krees. I think he never adapted from his PTSD, was set up to fail in his pursuits of living a life of honor, integrity, and legacy since he was never been able to prove himself authentically. Maybe now that it's all come crashing down he can find an honorable/noble way to live his remaining days.

No nope, I don’t want Silver to die, he’s honestly my favorite character in the whole franchise it would hurt me a lot, also given how he was basically screwed over by Kreese again, I want him to get some sort of redemption.

[@singletona082]

Well, this puts 'I am not afraid to die' into perspective. He's already dying. So, to a man like Silver, dying on his own terms would actually be a prefrence. In a weird way he would have been grateful if Chozen *had* killed him. One last blast and all that.

[@sethcashman1011]

Great commentary and great comments from the community. I had always assumed that everything from the pills to the butler asking SIlver if he needed a doctor had to do with PTSD, as opposed to an ongoing physical illness. Even his cryptic comments on youth and mortality in Season 5 seemed like something an older man might typically say. What finally got me thinking about the possibility that Silver might be ill was that slight pause just after he returns to his house following the showdown with Chozen. He could merely have out of breath, but it still struck me as odd. Out of character for the indefatigable Terry we all know and love. It seemed like he might be dealing with something serious. Very subtle, but definitely there.

[@WillHol29]

I don’t think he will give his life for anyone but I do see Kreese and Silver fighting to the death and they would kill each other at the same time as it would have greater significance.

In this situation they would be going against one another but would both leave the same way at the same time.

[@gregm8596]

Yeah I thought he might be sick too. The examples you give in your video plus him talking about youth and legacy lean into the dying theory. Him dying might also explain his extreme measures of doing whatever it takes. Kreese mentions when they first get back together how Terry is just looking to live his twilight years in pease until Kreese awakens his fighting spirit. After Terry reawakens his fight spirit it seems he really wants to do something impactful maybe because he's dying. I think the writers might also write him as dying so Terry gains our sympathy and to understand the villainous motivation which is a big thing Cobra Kai does look at Kreese. I felt no sympathy for Kreese and just looked at him as a villain till we saw those Vietnam flashbacks. Terry dying would be a way to make you feel bad for him even after all the bad things he's done and flesh him out as a character, not just as a villain.

[@Alfador42]

Looking back at the finale, when they put Terry in the back of the cop car, I really wonder what's going on in his head as he looks at Daniel and Johnny and as they look back at him. It almost seems as if he's shell-shocked. Not angry or anything. Just confused.

I think whatever illness Silver may or may not have is mental rather than a physical terminal illness. When he was reintroduced in season 4, he was taking medication that as the season progressed we never saw him taking again. Indicating that he may have stopped taking his medication when he went back into Cobra Kai. I think those meds were for his trauma that he suffered in Vietnam and to keep him from losing his mind. If Silver was at that hospital for personal reasons, that was probably it.

I like how the end of the video sounded, Silver some how uses his remaining time in an act of redemption. Perhaps leaving the Cobra Kai franchise to Kreese who in turn hands it over to Johnny. All characters use what they have learned throughout the series and each teach their respective Dojo's amicably each with their own styles, but maybe a little bit borrowed from the the others. On a note of Silvers health, before Kreese came along, he was probably just living out his days with no purpose, what he was doing was putting on a smile and was getting nothing from it, getting back into Cobra Kai made him feel alive again, got him active, gave him purpose and probably improved his wellbeing and health to a certain degree, but it was not a cure. Perhaps his legacy to open Cobra Kai to the world was his way of making people feel stronger, feel alive, defeat anything in front of them. Unfortunately he tried it using his old ways, going back to his youth and his vision was completely lost by his own mistakes.

As far as we know he has a particular diet so he could have just ate some bad sushi or something lol.

I agree this terminally ill Theory is a bit dumb. Maybe he was there because his PTSD medication was done and he needed to pick up some more.And if you notice it silver was stable throughout the whole season 5 and not on his crazy act, indicating that he was taking some sort of medicine to calm down maybe it had just finished and he needed to pick up more? 🤔

[@Scorch1028]

There are 2 things that cause me to question the “terminally ill Terry Silver theory”: 1) He has virtually no “ring rust” after a 35-year-sabbatical from karate. 2) Terry is 15 years older than Daniel and Johnny. Yet, he still managed to beat each of these much younger “active karate practitioners” in a 1-on-1 fight. 3) Terry showed no signs of weakness or fatigue during his weapon fight with Chozen. So, if Terry Silver is actually terminally ill, then he has a damn near “supernatural resistance” to the effects of his illness.

Silver is easily the best villain in the Cobra Kai series. The actor has serious real martial arts skills and is younger than Kreese so he, like Chozen, brings real credible martial arts to the show. His spinning back kick to the body is a thing of beauty

The water park slide race was the most cringe-worthy thing of the entire series. Trying to make it look intense just made it even more goofy. 3. Everyone getting drunk and deciding to go kick Terry Silver's ass was super lazy writing. 4. Kreese's escape from prison was an obvious wanna-be Hanniable Lecter moment, but it falls flat when any logic is applied. The very moment the doctor realized her badge was gone the entire place would have been put on lockdown. If they wanted to have him escape, they should have gone the route of him enticing someone enough to help him escape. Despite these criticisms, I still loved the season.

[@QuixoteX]

When Chozen had him down at the point of his Sai he said "I was meant to die on the battlefield, do it" It felt like for the moment he would rather die right there, than from some unknown alternative.(illness?)

[@JDMorris81]

I also hope in Season 6 they will bring back Julie Pierce to take on master Kim, that would be epic.

[@kobrakitsch877]

Perhaps now that Terry Silver may be tragically dying, Julie Pierce emerges in the series as JULIE PIERCE SILVER aka LADY SILVER, his beautiful yet deadly ex wife as well as the mother of his unacknowledged and rejected son Jack played by Leo Howard.

@The One Who Knocks unless for some reason she just happened to live in the area. Like Barnes he just happened to live in the area. However if they do that it will look that most people live in the valley. It would be good to know how they would introduce her to the show.

That would be an all time badass team! All 6 of them vs others would just be sweet to see.

[@RrowdyBeast]

I mean, if Tori's dealing with a parent that has terminal cancer, and Terry's dying and was a mentor at one point, feel like a good setup to have Tori learn to see past Terry's bullshit and try to help him deal with his issues since she's both blunt and has experience helping somebody that's dying. It'd be an amazing show of strength and growth on Tori's part, and it would also not come from left field since it's a natural big part of who she is and where she's come from, turning an unfortunate situation into having the insight and tenacity to do something good and turn somebody sick around Also think that Silver's medicine is for his mental state rather than physical. I think that whole setup was to show that he was willingly repressing his sociopathic urges, but Kreese opened the door

[@billybatts8283]

In season 6 I want to seenthe awesome 4some of Daniel, Johnny, Chozen and Mike. Daniel and Jhnny have been the heart since day 1, Chozen has been a scene stealer since his first appearance. But Mike with what little screen time he had was sensational, and hos smackdown of the two people left against Johnny was the best moment of combat in the entire show so far for me. Imagine Daniel and Chozen teaching defense and state of mind, and Johnny and Mike teaching offense....

It's funny how the character of Silver is older than Johnny and Daniel, but in real life he's actually younger than Daniel. 😆

[@KCDWolf]

A video about the characters from the original films that we still haven't see on the show would be Nice!

[@1888swordsman]

Makes sense. I also hope (for his own peace) Daniel should show even more mercy and forgiveness to Silver as he did make him a Cobra-kai. After all remember Mr Miyagi said "Man with no forgiveness in heart, live in even worst punishment than death".

[@therantingdead1]

I don't want any villain in the KK or CK series greater than Terry Silver. NO.

[@JtMills]

Thomas Ian Griffith all but confirms this on The Big Thing podcast, saying there was a deleted subplot about why he wasn’t afraid to die at the hands of Chozen. 🐍

[@Rometiklan]

Interesting take. A lifetime of dealing with toxic waste disposal might have taken its toll on Silver.

[@gabrielnelson3400]

in no way is season 5 a final wrap. I don't think there is enough beyond 1 or maybe two more seasons (for the main story) there is plenty for spin-offs. But the end of 5 clearly marks Kreese is coming back and more furious than ever. But the writers really need to start progressing toward the conclusion of the main story.

[@leonardomarengoni9650]

Kim has some great Sith moments. And if Silver is actually dying that can be his "get out of prision free"

[@sdseals2076]

Daniel won the fight because Silver was tired. Silver had just fought Chozen and in the beginning, I think both Johnny and Mike. I think Season 6 will be Kim and Krease teaming up.

[@urbandaniel100]

I think that actually could be the case . The writers have mentioned before that they are big ‘ breaking bad ‘ fans. And something that happens is a death through illness . They may want to take that route. And it seems the only possible way to give a villain closure since prison can’t do it lol.

[@skinless5136]

!!spoilers for breaking bad!! Walter dies because of a gun shot tho, so I feel like silver should die fighting, then he’ll go out being/doing what he loved like Walter

[@rjm_0809]

It actually makes sense that he would have an illness, not just because he was at the hospital, but because he had a business about toxic waste, maybe he was exposed to some of that

[@DamonNomad82]

I suspect the theory is correct, and that Terry Silver will pass away at the start of Season 6, possibly attacking his guards and forcing them to kill him, so he can die fighting rather than lying in a bed. Silver will then leave a sizeable sum of money from his fortune to Kim Da-Eun for the purpose of rebuilding Cobra Kai. She will do so by hiding the source of the money and disavowing Silver's actions that led the students to quit. She will also utilize some of the funds to hire a top-notch legal team to help Kreese out, so that he doesn't get re-arrested for his actions leading to his escape from prison. Kreese will then team up with Kim to run the main dojo and prepare the students (many of whom will come back to Cobra Kai as a result of Kim's actions, and Tori due to her remaining loyalty to Kreese) for the tournament. Kreese will also try to get revenge on Daniel and Johnny for shafting him with the fake lawyer deal.

[@LetsGetitBoah]

I honestly don't think Kreese will need a top notch legal team. That fact he was unjustifiably locked up and told the counselor{Who I think will help argue his case}, that he didn't want to wither away alone in prison will help the DA allow him to be released. ESPECIALLY since the DA needs to make up for very obviously not looking into the case well enough.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Whether it was sincere or not, John Kreese tried to apologize to Daniel Larusso for his past actions. Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence became good friends, and Daniel Larusso and Chozen became good friends, too. Same thing with Mike Barnes. If Daniel Larusso could forgive them, then why in the world won't he forgive John Kreese for his actions? If Daniel Larusso has that much hate in his heart towards John Kreese, then he's a hypocrite! Remember when he told Samantha (Sam, as he calls his Daughter):"There are no enemies"? Does anyone remember those words?!? Go back to the beginning of the whole Cobra Kai series. Johnny Lawrence re-started Cobra Kai, but it was Daniel Larusso, that let his past, and his fears, get the best of him. I'm really seeing, for the first time, just how much of a hypocrite that Daniel Larusso can be, at least at times. If he can say something like "There are no enemies", then wouldn't he be wise enough to stick to those words, forgive those who have hurt him, and move on with his life?

[@Justafeint]

@@ronaldshank7589 Picture this: You have been tormented by the same dojo for 2 movies which are worth months in your time. You've been getting beaten up, literally pushed off a hill, getting a massive ptsd. And said PTSD is so big that he managed to remember all the quicksilver rules. When Johnny made cobra kai come back he had to go through the entire thing in his head again. Now let me remind you that he became friends with all 3 antagonists of the three movies. Daniel is not a hypocrite. If he was a hypocrite he'd teach the quick silver method to all the miyagi do students just to make sure Johnny never ever steps into Karate again.

[@Zurround]

@@ronaldshank7589 I think part of why he was able to forgive Johnny, Mike, and Chozen was because their attacks on him were in the distant past but Kreese has been messing with Daniel and his friends and family and his business even VERY RECENTLY including TRYING TO KILL DANIEL.

He was the owner of Dynatox. His illness could be tied to all those years of being involved with nuclear waste disposal.

[@king_supreme1102]

Yeah there didn’t need to be a Miyagi voice over when Daniel fought Silver in the finale. The Terry Silver flashback is and was the only thing that should’ve been voiced over in that scene. We don’t need every sprinkle of fan service possible. The Silver flashback being intercut with the fight was perfect. No need for anything else.

[@TripleC_2220]

You may remember back in the third Karate Kid film, Silver was smoking cigars. Maybe he continued to smoke cigars throughout his life and he got terminal lung cancer because of it

Here we go inventing more excuses for why silver lost to Daniel. He’s not dying. Ludicrous prediction. Just bc he was at a hospital and said he wasn’t afraid to die? I’m not afraid to die and I’m not sick

[@henriremander435]

In S4 first episode, Silver said something like "I spend months of terrorizing teenager over a high school karate tournament". I think that line will come into play again. Maybe his asshole-behaviour is only to hide his weaknesses and the fact he´s old already. Same thing about when he mentioned S5 "I never had kids". You could tell, that line was genuine, he really feels bad about not having kids of his own.

[@aaww8663]

[@jbowdler07]

Not sure if mentioned, but along with the "I'm not afraid to die" comment, Silver also said, "I was meant to die on the battlefield." Maybe meaning, not in a hospital bed from some terminal disease?
