With Season 5 not having led to a conventional cliffhanger, followers ought to be capable to maintain a bit longer than ordinary for extra episodes. Lots of free ends had been tied up by the finale in a season that centered on therapeutic that introduced collectively pairs that will have shocked followers.
Therein lies the magic of Cobra Kai, at the least partially, seeing previous foes be taught to respect completely different factors of view who ultimately develop into family and friends.
“Rivalry is a large facet of this present and there’s been a number of rivalry with the youthful characters, from Miguel [Xolo Maridueña] and Robby [Tanner Buchanan] to Sam [Mary Mouser] and Tory [Peyton List], and it’s rooted within the unique rivalry of Johnny [William Zabka] and Daniel [Ralph Macchio]. We favored the concept that not each era, although we repeat a number of issues, that we get to be taught from the earlier era. The hope has been that Sam and Tory and Miguel and Robby can finish their highschool days on a greater notice than Johnny and Daniel did,” shared Schlossberg.
Talking of longtime Karate Child followers and rivalries, Season 5 introduced Daniel along with Johnny, who’s going to have a child with Miguel’s mother Carmen (Vanessa Rubio), and Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) for an evening out of partying at a nightclub. Sure, Daniel, Johnny, and Chozen—thoughts blown!
“We knew from the primary time we talked to Yuji in Season 3, what an essential a part of this sequence he was going to develop into,” Heald stated. “He was such a pivotal character within the unique franchise, however like with Johnny and Kreese [Martin Kove), it’s Daniel’s story and he gets to play kind of one note. We began to explore a little bit of the nuance of what makes adult Chozen tick in Season 3, but it was really that choice at the end of Season 4 to bring him back and have him basically feel like an assassin who’s arrived in the valley to go murder all of Daniel’s enemies.”

There’s no way we would breeze by the Johnny and Carmen news which will hopefully bring about a wedding in the future. Could this be the moment that changes everything for Johnny?
“Maybe the third time’s the absolute charm for Johnny,” Heald teased. “He has a biological son that he messed up and he holds a lot of regret and resentment at himself for how he behaved as an unprepared father. He’s had a mostly good but somewhat tumultuous relationship with Miguel at times in terms of not always doing the right thing or saying the right thing, and fear that maybe he’s not the greatest mentor at times, but ultimately, these two keep coming back to each other and we’re feeling really good about that relationship.”
He added, “But Johnny and Carmen, she’s been this breath of fresh air in his life, one of the only calming influences that kind of draws him back to reality and gives him a person to really connect with— who isn’t as deep into the karate wars as he is. It was important to us that we not look for ways to sully that. They are having a baby and we think it’s a wonderful thing for Johnny.”
And for everyone also hoping to see Johnny become a #girldad, you’re not alone. But the trio is keeping that news in a lockbox until their pens are ready to shape the future of Cobra Kai.
“We’ll see,” the trio said in unison.
