Agreed. Chozen has actually turned out to be my favorite part of Cobra Kai. He really shouldn’t have lost in any capacity to Terry Silver but I guess it’s dem-explainable since he and Johnny showed up drunk and Barnes was on literal drugs. TFW Chozen basicallyhas Terry Silver beaten after a night of Long Island Iced teas before he turns his back/attention that one second lol.

[@konstantinkoverchenko9587]

Chozen was hilarious in this season. It was cool seeing Barnes again. Seeing him as a helpful furniture salesman was a twist. Sato held a major grudge, but he was a strong believer in honor. It’s gonna be interesting to see more of that backstory develop about that other sensei.

Star Wars was saved by Favreau and Filoni. It was better off being a series. Well its an opinion if you dont like Favreau's involvement. But Star wars saga is far better in the hands of Favreau and Filoni. Also the KK saga stood the test of time and there were such good characters in the beginning. Not to take away anything from the writers. But it was genius of them to take leaves out of the original and created something new and unique.

Man can't stand, He can't fight: Daniel simply held him down instead of breaking his legs as Silver would do to disrupt the opponent's vertical base. 2.) Man can't breathe, He can't fight: Daniel used a clean blow to the chest to achieve the effect, whereas silver would have gone for the windpipe, etc. 3.)

Yeah honestly that’s my least favorite part about the season. Barnes shouldn’t have even been in the last battle and don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with him being there but 1. He came out of nowhere after it had already been at least a couple days and 2. He gets knocked out immediately with a single strike even though he’s literally supposed to be one of the toughest guys on the show but meanwhile, every character and their mom can eat like a hundred shots and still fight. Johnny In the same episode gets bludgeoned by 4 masters for like 10 minutes while Barnes is knocked out and he still doesn’t go down. I couldn’t believe Barnes was literally zero help and I couldn’t believe they didn’t have him wake up and help Johnny win. He could’ve even still had his family moment.

[@lunarialoonatic]

Honestly I didn’t rily like this season as much as previous. Yes the ending was the best one by far. The suspense and plot this season was rily good. But I kind of disliked how fast paced it was. Idk why Netflix has this thing where they need to have shows be 8-10 episodes per season. Yes it’s convenient but if there’s more that’s fine too? If it would have taken longer I think we could have waited (ST fans wait longer lol). I just feel like this season would have been better if it was dragged out a bit. For instance they literally threw so much. Lawrence having a baby with Miguel’s mom, the Mexico trip with Miguel that I also feel like deserved at least two episodes as he discovered himself again. Even Sam deserved to maybe have a slow join back to fighting. Maybe she comes back after Troy tells/reminds her shes a good fighter. I also wish Troy and Sam had a slow burn forgiveness. Miguel and Robby took longer to forgive than Troy and Sam- I mean deadass their fight was more petty girl drama than Miguel and Robby, but I still wish they took some time too (tho I did love how they both kicked that sensi lady’s ass lol. Very satisfying. And Sam did hear her out and realize how Troy had it and had a breakthrough). But I also hated how they handled relationships too? Sam and Miguel broke up then had this weird friend-bf but I secretly love you arc? That once again, maybe could have worked if there were more episodes. I just felt like Sam was being a brat as usual. And I’m most bummed about Robby and Troy. I loved how they started a relationship in season 4, but I hated how suddenly they season starts and they are already bf and gf?? Like hellooo, did the viewers miss the good stuff? They went from having some chemistry and moments to already dating? Felt like we got robbed. And then they broke up before we got used to it then once again, had this weird relationship arc? Idk… I’m just rily underwhelmed about how their relationship became kind of boring once they got together. I liked and still do like them together but we didn’t have any moments of them actually being a couple, it was more implied away from the viewers. Which is sad bc they were my fav couple. And freaking why didn’t they do something with Samantha’s brother! I was rily hoping he would kick ass by the end, show his own skill? Maybe Danny trains him or Sam? Idk, some sibling bonding? My dude just rily got the short end of the stick. I was kind of interested in his arc then it was thrown out before it begun. I give this season a 5/10. If it weren’t for the last episode it would be a 3/10 tbh. Had some great moments and highlights but once you finish it and reflect back… you realize so many plot points were poorly dealt with… feels like they made this season before 3 low key… I know the writers said they drafted these seasons from the first one ahead of time. Maybe they should have tweaked it more? Idk…

[@sportsfan5548]

For me, the highlight of season 5 was the humor. There were some hilarious lines, especially from Johnny and Chozen, that caught me off-guard and was a wonderful surprise. As far as season 6 goes, a lot of what was said makes sense as I expect Kreese to join Kim and I also think Kreese will gain revenge on Silver in some way. Also, will Julie Pierce return? What about Dutch? Those are really the only characters remaining from the original movies that we haven't seen return yet. As far as season 6, I think it's the last season and I believe Robbie and Sam win the tournament, Johnny and Carmen have their baby and get married and I also think we will see Chozen and Kumiko get together and perhaps get married.

[@marcusfridh8489]

I think Dutch will return and reveal himself as tori's father and maybe Julie will return as a sensei in the final fight against Kim and kreese, as a karateka-cousin of Daniel (meaning that they trained under the same sensei "miyagi" but in different times.) And maybe we also can see the return of Mike Barnes in season 6, as he is as motivated as anyone else to finally kill Silver.

[@joelucayt]

IIRC, Chad McQueen (Dutch) was already asked to return a few seasons ago and declined. Has no interest in returning to acting.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

Season 5 was good. Thought Chozen was a big highlight of the season. He's like our new Mr. Miyagi since he's the nephew to Sato who was best friends turned rivals to Miyagi and was taught by the same teacher as Miyagi. They made Chozen into this loveable character the way the writers did for Johnny. The bad guys of The Karate Kid Part I & II are now loveable fan favorites. Perhaps more beloved than Daniel! Johnny as a ride-share and food delivery driver was downright hilarious! I can relate since I've delivered for DoorDash for 5.5 years. Johnny with no shame eating customers' food. I like how more ruthless they made Terry. Even gave a little more character development and background story for Kreese. It was overall a good season. But it might also be one of the weakest seasons Cobra Kai ever had. Perhaps the weakest since maybe Season 2 which I still thoroughly enjoyed especially having the best season finale. Too many over-the-top moments. Same jokes being retreaded or didn't quite land like in Thor: Love And Thunder. I found the first half of Cobra Kai's S5 to be rather weak. Spent two episodes with Miguel's father that kinda went nowhere. I thought Sam wanting a timeout with Miguel felt rather pointless. Sam is just a confused girl or her character makes us viewers confused what she really wants. Daniel with his "should I fight or don't fight?" dilemma again. Johnny trying to make Robby and Miguel become friends with role play was also pretty dumb. I did enjoy the Young Guns II reference and the Bon Jovi song playing. Same with the Top Gun dream reference that Carmen had. It did explore more interesting topics like what if Johnny became a father again? How Amanda separated from Daniel for a bit until her cousin, Jessica, explained to her how terrible Terry is. How an old man like Kreese gets picked on in prison. I thought the season finale was good as it took elements from S2 and S3. But c'mon! Terry Silver looked so beatable against Daniel. I know he just fought Chozen and beaten him. Weakened his energy. But it looked so lopsided. And is Terry dying from a disease or something? He went to the hospital for a reason and talked about he isn't afraid to die. Talked about never having children and wants Cobra Kai to be his legacy. At least we did get our Chozen vs. Terry fight and it was bloody! Overall, I give S5 an 8/10. That's still a good score as I don't have any season lower than an 8. Having Mike Barnes and Jessica Andrews was awesome for KK3 fans and for the lore. Maybe the first half for me was only a 7/10 but it got stronger by the second half. I actually dig the addition of Kim Da-Eun. I also like Johnny's story arc trying to be a good man since he's expected to have another child with Carmen. Even like his interaction with his ex, Shannon. How Robby, Miguel, and Hawk are finally cool with each other. I do think at some point this series needs to end or it ends up like The Walking Dead where most people started tuning out after Season 7. Maybe have spin-offs centered around the kids? Writing can only be good for so long. The series needs an endgame to end the series beautifully instead of ending it as bad as LOST and Game of Thrones with no sense of direction. Or maybe it ends at Season 5? Seems like everyone is in a good place. Everyone seems cool with each other. Silver is going to prison. Kreese escapes it but will he really be a threat? What villain is out there to keep this show going? Miguel's dad with a bunch of MMA fighters? If S5 is the final one, I'd be okay with it. But Billy Zabka has confirmed there will be a Season 6 and it won't be the final one. They want to end it with a movie and even do a Mr. Miyagi prequel. I applaud these people for making the Miyagi-verse awesome.

I mostly agree with you, but I also think the world tournament has to happen, there has to be an end to Kreese's arc (including his personal backstory with Kim now that she's in the picture) and even Tori's arc should be concluded in a more satisfactory way I think.

[@AndresDX1]

I think they should introduce the girl from the next karate kid. Also, if they want to incorporate elements from the 2010’s reboot karate kid movie with jayden smith that would be cool too.

So what he ended up doing was scrapping bits of script keeping some of it and incorporating it with the other two films... They told him to write an underdog story so he put some of his lifes story into Daniel LaRusso and Mr Miyagi in the first film...

I'm thrilled to have seen Johnny, Chozen, AND Mike all fight together (mostly... mike 🙄) Chozen is the man. He stole the show. I'd watch a Chozen spin off. He was a liiiiiitle too lap doggy at first. But it grew into more a realization of him genuinely being happy to have reclaimed his honor and to have real friends. He better be back for all of season 6 (and 7 and 8 and 27) and get Kumiko over here too. Bringing in Silver as the big bad was brillant. He was terrific. There wasn't much drama with misunderstandings and whatnot. Robby and Miguel are brothers now. It was great. Best series I think I've ever seen. It was always GOOD but it's finally really SATISFYING too seeing all the favorite characters getting along and working together. Can't end now. I need more of that.

With Kreese escaping out of jail something tells me this will result in the charges on Silver to be dropped.

This could be a starting plot point for Season 6(which I assume will be the last season.) We need to see the tournament obviously plus we need endings to Kenny and Kreeses story.

Julie doesn't. She's from Boston and I think it's just too much writing to make her fit in. Did she keep in contact with Miyagi, did she stay in Boston, did she follow in her grandfather's footsteps and join the military, did she become aware of Miyagi's passing. Someone else from the valley would have made contact with her somehow and you would have to tell how Miyagi told Daniel about her and etc... Does Daniel seem the kind of person who would stay in touch with anyone he's never met? Mr. Miyagi didn't have much friends in the valley...

I really wanna see Dutch make an appearance before this series ends!! Maybe we see him in prison with Silver? I actually thought they'd bring back the original Cobras again this season when Johnny & Daniel were outnumbered. We definitely need more Mike Barnes next season. I feel like something with his old contact with Silver will play into next season. Maybe he challenges the Korean sensei for 50% ownership??!

[@jeremyharrell3608]

I truly think that Cobra Kai will definitely end in season 6. I cannot think of anything else to drag out the series even more. I think that Kreese will be the final antagonist in the series as a complete whole. Silver was pretty much the main enemy, but I think that they want Kreese as their last antagonist. However I don't think that Johnny and Daniel will actually be Cobra Kai themselves. Because Kreese IS Cobra Kai. I think the way that this is gonna turn out, is that if Kreese ever wins the Sekai Taikai tournament, I think he wouldn't take Cobra Kai global and just have Cobra Kai as one location, and Kreese not being as merciless, while Eagle Fang, Miyagi-Do, and Cobra Kai, being done separately. In other words, there will always be Cobra Kai, but it's not going to be like Terry Silver's Cobra Kai. Either they have that, or they will have the same deal as before from season 3. If Kreese loses, he shuts down, but if Daniel and Johnny lose, they shut down. This time, no more cheating.

[@stanm3052]

I disagree. I think for the kids to win the biggest tournament in the world on the first try would really cheapen the experience. It's one thing to be the best in a small area like the valley. Where no never really took martial arts all to seriously in several decades until Jonny restarted Cobra Kai, so there was never any major competition because the kids all had similar levels of experience (well mostly anyways). However to automatically dominate a tournament against all sorts of fighters, from around the world, in just one go? That would kind of ruin it for me, and many others I think. There can always be new villains and new dramas, but to pretend that there is no further room for growth for the kids, that they've become the best in the world in a couple of years of doing karate? No, there's no way. Plus I don't think we've seen the last of Miguel's dad, who had connections to underground MMA sports (since that really had little to no pay off). I think as the video pointed out Terry Silver probably isn't done yet, he's got money & lawyers to keep him out of jail, aside from w/e Kreese & Kim Da-Eum are going to be doing. I can't imagine they wrap it all up in ten 35 minute episodes. There's at least another 2 or 3 seasons here I believe, but I suppose we'll see how it plays out.

It's almost like they are brothers now with the addition of a new family member joining the family too!!

I don't think so. There's no reason for it. The only reason Miguel was written to want to find his real father was all so that he would, in the end, see that his true father was with him the whole time, that being Johnny. Plus, Hector seems pretty set in his ways and doesn't seem to have any interest in fixing the past as he stated that he doesn't regret anything. Johnny is Miguel's dad, that's what the arc was about. That's what Miguel needed to see. Miguel was heartbroken after seeing his father for the evil man he is and in that moment of despair, Johny showed up to be the dad that Miguel needs. That is the point.

He doesn't even know someone related to Karate. I think that short arc was fine. Miguel learned what he needed to know and now he and Robby are on equal terms and getting along. That's what's important. Hector is no longer important. If they kept him in the story, he would just be clutter and drama for the sake of drama.

True. That is like the ultimate victory for Miyagi-do and Eagle Fang to take Cobra Kai's name and transform it to what they want. And let's not forget that the name of the show is Cobra Kai, which again kind of makes it fitting for that to be the name they go with.

I think Season 6 will happen, but I also think it will be the final season. I'm guessing Kreese will join forces with Kim and gather her students from Korea to fight in the tournament, and that will be the final showdown. I don't see where else the show can go though, given how almost every other conflict was (finally) laid to rest this season.

[@STONESGAM]

I think a longer, two part season 6 would be a good idea. It seems like there is still a lot to tie up. Johnny's kid, possibly getting married, Terry Silver's ultimate fate, a final karate tournament, Chozen and Kumiko, Kreese and his payback on Silver, etc. I also think there needs to be some closure between Kreese and Johnny Lawrence. I think Johnny will somehow get Cobra Kai back and make it his own again and Kreese will want it that way. The show is called Cobra Kai after all. And I am sure given the present state of Netflix that they are in no hurry to lose one of their only "sure thing" hit shows that generates a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from fans. And they haven't even used "You're the Best" in any karate scenes yet.

They can't go on forever tho. That's when the show starts to get crappier. They can drag it on but it'll just make the story suffer. It's already more like general hospital than it needs to be for a karate kid show. It's a good show and they do well with fan service/ modern plot points, but what could they really do left after season 6? Krease will probably switch to good and see the error of his ways by the end and they'll all continue to teach their styles to kids. Everyone dating will fight about something corny than make up and team up right b4 the final tournament, other than wrapping stuff up bringing in the girl from the 4th karate kid is all they can do left. Otherwise it's just goona go way to hard with the high-school break up drama. I bet if they keep it going past season 6 some of the actors and wrighters will leave for other stuff, and to save face.

[@davidbreen6335]

As good as Season 4 was there were some moments that were getting stale (The Johnny and Daniel rivalry.) so I'm really glad they went a new direction with both characters and kept them in opposite stories for the first half of the series, but when they came together they stayed together. Also the direction they went with Tory's character was awesome I've rooted for Tory to be redeemed since day one. She never was evil like most people thought she just had a justified frozen heart. My guess is Tory and Sam while still having trust issues will put that aside to help Devin. As of right now if Season 6 does happen and the rumors are true that it will be the last season that may not be a bad thing, honestly at this point how much more can they do after this season.

[@mattdouglas1050]

At first it seemed that this would be the second to last season... most was wrapped up but a few loose ends need to be addressed... mainly with what Kreese is gonna do, will Chozen and Kumiko hook up... etc... And that it will take some time for Kreese to exact a plan given that those who break our of prison need to lay low... this will allow the next season to take place perhaps a couple years in the future which is necessary as there are so many early 20s actors playing teenagers... But of course... what's the twist that's coming? And here's what it is... Barnes has been in league with Silver the whole time! As the writers like to invert the original movies, this fits perfectly. Silver pretended to be on Daniel's side to lure him into the fight with Barnes. Barnes pretended to be on Daniel's (and Johnny's and Chozen's) to lure them into the fight with Silver (and company). But what's the actual evidence for this... 1. How did Barnes know that that Daniel and company rented a limo via Louie's hook up and went out clubbing? We've seen Silver get out of limos a few times... he likely has connections therein. 2. Silver and Kim don't look surprised when they see the limo crash through the gate. 3. It was Barnes's idea to go immediately to Silver's house... which seems a different one from the one in KK3. 4. Despite Silver's estate being a big one, it would have been 2-3 minutes max from crashing through the gate, until confronting Silver in his living room... and all the other instructors are in the back room waiting for them 5. Barnes appears to be knocked out early on, but if you watch closely he's hit with the vase in the upper back, not the back of the head. 6. When Barnes finally "comes to" and "takes out" the last two standing instructors that are fighting Johnny, he pretty much just pushed them to the ground... not something that would've knocked out or incapacitated anyone... it was some sort of prearrangement just like him apparently being knocked out early on in the fight. 7. Him "stealing" the Rembrandt was his payment from Silver. He likely has insurance to cover his loss of his store and can rebuild it with the insurance payout. But to get money for a stolen painting, he needs a fence, and there's no indication that Barnes would know where to go therein, but Silver would... so Silver paid him in a way that leaves no paper trail.

Wait Will Smith is working on Cobra Kai? Scary. His remake of the Karate Kid where he casted his son as the lead was pretty atrocious imo.

[@jovanym2931]

@@RedShogun13 he’s credited but not actively involved

Will Smith is the Executive Producer of the show. His name usually shows up around the beginning of each episode.

Oh, I think there'll be a season 6, even though I fully got the impression that this was a finale if there ever was one. But Robby hasn't had his moment, yet. Neither have Demetri or Devon Lee. Kreese and Kim Da-Eun are still out there, and the new tournament is wide open. Feel like Kenny hasn't really had his moment yet, either. Got the impression with Johnny drinking a White Claw that they were hinting that would be a name they either want fans to think about or are thinking about themselves for the dojo. Could also be misdirection, as the writers of this show are VERY good about knowing when and where to subvert expectations and where not to. But the finale was written in such a way that if there is no season 6, it still feels like everything was wrapped up in a satisfactory way. And I really want to see more of both Thomas Ian Griffith and Sean Kanan. Mike was definitely a highlight every brief moment he was on screen this season, especially the opening moments of the final episode where we got to see the one moment I've wanted to see from this show.

Everyone can't have "their moment". That's like saying every wish Screech would have had the chance to be crowned Home Coming King, although he did make Valedictorian, but gave it to Jessie. By the time they let everyone "shine" they've all graduated college by then. Think about the timeline and their ages. They're already seniors and it's called "The Under 18 All Valley"

@@RoTeNdO That would make sense if it weren't for the fact that these specific characters are being written with the expectation of having their own arcs and payoffs. And in terms of aging out of the roles, Ralph Macchio was 27 years old when he filmed Karate Kid Part III. The younger generation of Cobra Kai are all already aged out of the roles in that sense, also. And they're talking one more season, not an ongoing series. They'll be as fine in a S6 as they were in S5.

[@RoTeNdO]

@@Goldnfoxx Right, they can still play their roles, but for someone who has followed the series since 2018, to me... it seems like they're been in hs for 6 years. lol I guess if Bart can play a 10 year old in 4th grade for 30 years, they can play another year in hs.
