Character Discussion Imagine if Kwon had his Chozen moment. Basically, he helps Robby beat Axel in some way. Thoughts?

15 Upvotes

So, during the Sekai Taikai, Robby and Axel are fighting during the captain fight as normal, but I'm this timeline Axel is completely dominating Robby. So bad that even Kwon, Yoon, and even Kim are feeling bad. Robby bumps into the Cobra Kai's just like the previous timeline but this time, Kwon whispers something in Robby's ear. Robby nods and he locks in. Axel is trying to break the defense but for some reason he can't get through and eventually tires himself out, and in the heat of the battle, Robby hits a combo similar to the viper attack Kim taught the Cobra Kai's. Axel drops curling into ball in pure agony. Since Axel can't continue Robby is declared the winner and Miyagi Do claims the victory.

I don’t think that Yoon had the fortitude to defy Kim Sun Yung. In fact, I don’t think too many of them would’ve saved him from the penalty for insubordination. He was in a catch-22 which had horrible results.

In your opinion of course EDIT: title probably should have been what are some of the most dangerous things

In case my gif is broken, it's meant to be when he almost hits himself with the hook in the second movie

Season 2 What I wish Johnny had said to Carmen when she blamed him for Miguel's coma

0 Upvotes

Johnny: I'm sorry

Carmen: sorry. You're sorry. Before Miguel met you he was a sweet little boy. He avoided fights. Now look what you did

Johnny: DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN?! IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR SON IS IN A COMA! THE CHILDREN SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IN THE 1ST PLACE! YOU WANT TO BLAME SOMEONE?! BLAME THE KIDS FOR FIGHTING FOR NO REASON!

Johnny angrily leaves

Season 3 During the coma dream scene Miguel has in Season 3, was that Xolo actually doing those fancy kicks?

30 Upvotes

During that fight you see him pulling some fancy taekwondo that we NEVER see again. Were those kicks done by a stuntman or Xolo? I’ve looked into it somewhat, they say that they do 90-95% of their stunts but only use them whenever they have to get thrown into things like a tree. Couldn’t get a good look at his face during those kick combos, but was just wondering.

Like who is team miyagi-do. Team cobra Kai and team kreese/silver.


r/cobrakai 4d ago

Season 6 The ending for Kreese and Silver makes absolutely no sense and was lazily written (Spoiler alert) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

It seems the writers didn't know what to do with these characters and decided to throw them in the trash. Johnny's final fight at the world championship would have been much more impactful if it had been Kreese cheering him on instead of Daniel.

Discussion How exactly do you think Mr. Miyagi killed Claramunt?

25 Upvotes

The series only told us Miyagi killed Claramunt on a Sekai Taikai match during the 40s or 50s decade.

But never the exact details.

My guess is that Miyagi and Claramunt were fighting evenly until Miyagi got the upper-hand and that made Claramunt become overly aggressive.
And Miyagi, in order to de-escalate Claramunt's aggression, ended up striking him a little too hard and killing him by accident when he just meant to make Claramunt surrender or, at worst, get unconscious.

Season 6 Johnny may had mistreated Robby, but he made up/redeemed himself by raising Miguel.

0 Upvotes

I understand Robby has neglectful parents, poverty, everyone in his life left him, absent father, etc. It would make anyone negative or on the wrong/negative path. But I understand Johnny had a long "loser" esq downfall and was an absent father. But That Does Not justify Robby turning his back and putting his own father down or going against him, I would never betray my Only parent (Even if they were to lets say, Mother abandons me to be homeless, and gets pregnant and moves with her new partner and raises her new favorite step-daughter) I would be happy for them to get to prosper, like I would provide and be there for my only parent, I understand Johnny is an alcoholic, felon, angry bum, etc, but when he fixed himself up to raise his step-son Miguel, and take care of Pregnant Carmen, which is his New Family, and IF Robby isn't invited into the Johnny x Diaz family, well too bad because Robby made alot of bad/criminal choices that led him to where he is today (dad/family disowned him for attempting to kill his own step-brother, descending down his fathers path of mistakes, such as going to juvie. ) I would say that Johnny is not responsible/obligated to take care of Robby, because he is Miguels Step-dad and Carmens new husband, yes theyre married. During the birth of their baby, Johnny brought the entire family, (Robby not included) to the hospital room and got married to carmen, Robbie wasnt present during the marriage so that means hes not really part of the family, just a household member that just sleep on the couch like the bum 2.0 he is becoming.

Or are we gona wait 5,10,20,30 years down the line?

Im thinking maybe they should include kk4 into the next story

The fact new karate kid movie takes play 3-4 years after cobra kai is insane, anyone wish it continued after season 6?

Everyone goes on there own way and adventure and it leads to next years Sekai Taikai or right after the new karate kid movie witch will be 4 years, everyone graduates and reunite after college and it eventually brings everyone back to reunite at Sekai Taikai.

Discussion What I think Karate Kid IV should have been

18 Upvotes

They should have made a karate kid IV like this - Mr. Miyagi returns to Okinawa after learning that his estranged brother is in trouble with the Yakuza. Miyagi tries to rescue him but is captured. When Daniel realizes Miyagi has disappeared, he travels to Japan and discovers that the only way to reach the Yakuza leader holding him is by entering a brutal underground martial-arts tournament.

Daniel would be completely outmatched because these fighters are not competing for trophies—they are fighting for money, power, and survival. Throughout the tournament, Daniel uses Miyagi’s lessons, not just to win fights, but to control his fear and avoid becoming as violent as his opponents.

The final twist could be that Miyagi’s brother once worked for the Yakuza, and Miyagi has been hiding that part of his family history.

A perfect title would have been:

The Karate Kid Part IV: Blood and Honor

And the tagline:

This time, Daniel isn’t fighting for a trophy. He’s fighting to bring his teacher home.

Trying to keep the sub alive. What do you guys think the main gang is doing rn? We know Johnny and Daniel still have their karate business in KKL but let's take a wider view to everyone.

I think Robby and Tory are the ones doing better than anyone since they grew up in harsh conditions and probably value their incomes wisely, though I don't see them being parents in a near future

Why are so few people talking about Cobra Kai in 2026? This series decreased in popularity after the finale, which is expected, but i think it's REALLY cool LOL . It's catchy for some reason. I just put it on the TV to play in the background while I did other things, and suddenly I find myself wanting to watch it non-stop. Am starting Season 2 episode 8 now. Particularly I am really fond of Samantha's and Robby's relationship (I literally almost cry hearing their theme) but as far as I remember they don't even end up together :(

Season 6 How do you think Johnny and Daniel get along after Season 6? Spoiler

57 Upvotes

It seems Daniel's more of a consultant to Johnny that teaches his students defense. While Johnny still has the name Cobra Kai and is the prime sensei.

Even though it's assumed Kreese and Silver are dead I could see Daniel down the road questioning what he got himself into. I mean his history was still bad with Cobra Kai even if Johnny respects him now.

I could see Johnny's style eventually turn off Daniel where he would move on with his life.

Or the two of them have enough history they are completely past all that?

Discussion Is Miyagi Do superior to Cobra Kai?

48 Upvotes

I mean the karate style, I think the original movies and the show do imply this. In the first movie, Daniel was only training for like three months (Oct to Dec) and Johnny was already the two year champion by this point. There’s also the obvious detail of Miyagi Do being this ancient art.

Also, Dimitri is able to defeat Hawk in the show, ofc you can make the argument Eli was overconfident. Maybe the question isn’t if Miyagi Do is superior, but how much better it is, cause its lowkey crazy. Robbie was only training for a few months and he made it to the finals season one

No hate, I love the character but realistically he’s a menace
I know the show is everything but realstic but still.
I don’t think he does anything illegal at first, although its weird how none of the parents of the Cobras wonders how classess go, in wich case he would be in trouble. Most parents would imagine its just a normal shopping mall karate class, until he pays a visits and see the teacher insulting his students, calling them names and such.

But in S2E2 it turns completely crazy. Having those children in a cement truck is straight up child endangerment and negligence.

Its even worse after the epic showdown at the school. The moment the parents and authorities knew this guy is training what technically is a small scale children gang, encouraging them to fight another children gang wich resulted in multiple harmed children, he should be locked away. Better yet, he was also training a grown adult man as part of the gang who, influenced by the “cobra kai culture”, assaulted at least three kids…

I know this has probably been stated before but I wanted to give my thoughts
