I just finished up Season 5...WOW...still hooked!!! I don't know how they did it, but they did!! Episode 9 and 10 had me on the freaking edge of my seat. With most of the kids about to graduate high school, i thought they did a great job of moving the show into a new "adult" phase. I think Johnny and Carmen will for sure have a girl. It just makes sense. I actually really like Miguel and Robby being big brothers to a baby sister. That just feels right to me. You can see the writing on the wall for Season 6 being the last season and ending as one of the best Movie/Series ever made!!


Just a couple of interesting thoughts. They still haven't wrote Sid's (Ed Asner RIP) character out of the show...and I think that will play a MAJOR role in how this all ends. I think in the end...Sid will die and low and behold, Johnny inherits all of Sid's fortune. This allows Johnny/Carmen/Miguel/Robby/Tori and their new baby to live their lives free of worry and finally can enjoy life and ride off into the sunset.

Also, we got closer, but we STILL haven't learned who Tori's mother is...Hilary Swank? It feels like it's somebody we already know and somebody important...thus the reason why they specifically and purposefully only show us her legs. Maybe that will play a major surprise in the next season?

Lastly...Kenny Payne's brother...i don't feel like we have seen the last of him yet and Robby's relationship with both Kenny and his brother could play a huge role if he is released from jail, considering how Robby and Kenny's relationship has turned. Keep an open mind to that!!

I actually really like the idea of the world Karate competition...This would open up a whole new story line and characters that we haven't been introduced to yet. All in all...another entertaining season for Cobra Kai. They deserve all the recognition they get!!

I would be interested to see what happens with Kenny and when/if we see his brother get out of juvey.
he starts beating the shite out of his older brother and forever turns him into a bitch.

If I'm Terry I'm importing Muay Thai fighters from Thailand who have been raised in fighting dungeons their whole lives, and also BJJ technicians from South America and just calling it Cobra Kai hoping daniel comes back so he can get owned by a 12 year old.

So with Kreese on the run and Silver in jail, could Mike Barnes find the contract that gives him 50% of Cobra Kai and use it to take control?

I absolutely hate that little black kid, but maybe that means he did good, idk.

Good acting, but he went from underdog to weasel frick in no time. CK definitely ruined him.

Unrelated - I'd love to see that actor play Miles Morales in the MCU.

If it’s one thing I’ve learned from this show, it’s that parents in the valley don’t give a shite what their kids are up to


The other thing I've learned is that the valley must be about the size of Bawcomville because you can't leave your house without running in to someone you know.

The area this is set is incredibly small. It is basically from Ventura Blvd, and a few neighborhoods south of it, north to Sherman Way between highway 27 to the west and the 405 to the east. You are talking about maybe 25 square miles.

Just finished the season. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series, but a few thoughts:

Chozen is too cheesy. The Chozen from KK would never conduct himself that way.

Daniel continues to go against any and all teachings from Myagi.

Daniel’s wife and Barnes are the only ones with sense. Does any successful adult really get wrapped up in a karate contest?

Overall a lot of the acting is really bad.

Johnny Lawrence carries the show. Outside of him, the show is really bad.

I've always been a huge fan of Hawk and even though he's champion, it's still clear Robby and Miguel are a tier above him. Robby only lost because he got distracted and Miguel has technically never lost a fight (though I feel like that's going to happen in Season 6)

I agree that Robby is a better fighters than Hawk, and only lost because Robby was distracted by Kenny, but Miguel is a better fighter than Robby. Miguel even had Robby beaten once again and on the ground in the apartment complex fight before they made amends. Heck, it even looked like Robby accepted that Miguel had him beat just like Miguel had him beat in the school fight which is why he asked why Miguel didn't finish him that time.

It'll be interesting to see how they address the international tournament next season with who will be the winner. I could definitely see one of them getting taken out/losing a match because of some illegal hit, and the other avenging them and beating whoever the big bad for the kids is.

he was beaten and humbled as a person by the end of that film. Seems like after that point is when he truly began to learn from his uncle.

Had he won, he would have become a killer. And he always had that weird laugh and sense of humor.

I think Barnes is crazier than you think..hes been repressing it and he can hold his own with Chozen, after being out of it for years.

I mean, he did steal a party limo from a club parking lot, kidnapping the occupants, then stirred up a posse to go storm a dudes home with the intent of seriously injuring him or worse. The guy seemed pretty crazy to me.

Someone burned my shite down id want answers too, I think he's the perfect amount of crazy and the fact that him, johnny and chozen were all in the same vehicle is surreal and hilarious

Eta

And why didn't Daniel reach out to and warn Barnes?..after Silver told Daniel that he was going to "take care of him first".

Since when has Daniel ever took into consideration how his actions affect others? Daniel is the most hot headed person in the KK universe, and rarely considers the consequences that others have to face when he flies off the handle.

This. I was hoping Chozen’s character would turn and put him in his place. It’s good for a storyline, but sad Myagi is getting shite on with this show.

Couple of other thoughts...I was REALLY pissed Mike Barnes disappeared after the store burning down and was thinking there is no way he goes out like that and then lo and behold. Nice save. Would've liked to see him rampage a little more at Silver's. Absolute animal.

Also, I too hate Kenny. What a little piece of shite that kid is. Did anyone else notice how close Anthony LaRusso was to snapping his neck on the side of the lazy river?? Also, shoving his face in that toilet bowl in a post Covid world which might have a STD or three?

Nope. If I was Anthony I would've crippled Kenny after those events.

Who knows what connections he has or dirt he has on others. I dont see him doing any time and can afford to fight it forever, and possibly even sue you for defamation of character

The Mexico scenes in the first 2 episodes was some seriously ridiculous stuff even for this show.
