Spoiler warning, though you shouldn't be here anyway if you haven't even seen Cobra Kai
Season 5.
The season ended on somewhat of a “finality” note.
Silver has been finally taken down and is now under arrest, Stingray has come forward
about what really happened in the Cobra Kai dojo, Daniel is at peace with his rivals,
and almost all student rivalries have come to a close.
But that still leaves us with some questions – what will happen to Kreese now that he's
escaped?
Is Kim Da-Eun still going to enter the dojo in the Seikai Taikai?
Will Miyagi-Fang win the global tournament?
These are my thoughts on what will happen in Cobra Kai Season 6.
The first storyline we should talk about is Terry Silver's arrest and what will happen
now that he's in custody.
At this point, it's hard to say if he's out of the equation completely, given the amount
of power and resources that he possesses.
However, Hayden Schlossberg recently responded to a question stating that Silver will be
charged for attacking Stingray instead of Kreese.
He also makes a point that the bigger issue here is Silver's reputation – Daniel's plan
had worked and now the Valley will see who he truly is.
I'm not entirely sure what will also happen now that it's revealed he rigged the tournament
– it's hard to say if the All-Valley board is willing to do a “do-over,” given how
far Tory went in the tournament and now that they'll question every fight Tory had, with
notable favoritism in her fights against Devon and Tory.
In the scenario that he does still attempt to enter the Seikai Taikai, I doubt that he
will still have assistance from Kim Da-Eun, due to her disapproval of Silver's rivalry
with Daniel LaRusso, and therefore also questioning how good he really is as a teacher, since
he had to use so many underhanded tactics to fabricate his reputation.
Kim Da-Eun also could care less about money as we see from her first interaction with
Terry on screen, proving that she cares more about her grandfather's legacy.
This makes Da-Eun similar to Chozen in this regard, where they both care more about honor
and honoring the memory of their legacy, moreso than money.
Notice that she is also nowhere to be seen once Silver is defeated and arrested, last
seen in the background as all of the Cobra Kai students quit and throw their shirts and
jackets onto Silver.
I'd also like to address a theory I've also seen going around on Twitter, and how Terry
Silver could be terminally ill, which would explain why he was at the hospital and ran
into Johnny, not to mention saying he wasn't afraid to die on the battlefield (though I
really saw this more as a reference to Karate Kid Part II where Chozen wasn't afraid to
die in a fight), and how youth was the one thing money can't buy.
As I've said before, I don't ever see a character dying off until it is the final season...
but that being said, Cobra Kai is notorious for dropping hints right in front of our noses
as a casual line, such as Kreese correctly predicting Tory was the All-Valley Champion
the dojo needed in Season 3.
Like with everything else, it's a possibility, and would make sense on why he would want
to leave a legacy, but at this moment, it's hard to say.
The second storyline I'd like to talk about is Kreese, and how it ties directly with both
Terry and Kim Da-Eun.
In regards to his storyline, Hayden Schlossberg tweeted that “He has a choice.
Pack it in and go off into the sunset, or go out guns-a-blazing,” paraphrasing what
Kreese said to Silver as he's leaving Silver's house after talking to him.
While Kreese is going to be on the run as he's escaped from prison, as we mentioned
before, those charges are going to be dropped and if anything, the only thing he will be
charged with is for assaulting an officer.
However, in California, that is still going to be lighter and a less serious offense than
what he was framed for, as seen here.
In the '80s, it was clear that Kreese wanted to focus more on his students instead of competing
in the Seikai Taikai, especially when Johnny Lawrence started taking karate lessons.
However, that motivation may now change because of two reasons – Johnny and Daniel wanting
to erase any trace of legacy that Kreese has, and the fact that they have screwed him over
with the false promise of having a lawyer to help.
Kreese has always been about retaliation, and I would imagine that he's not going to
take that act lightly.
We know that he and Kim Da-Eun have a friendly enough relationship, as she even noticed he
wasn't present when Silver greeted her.
This is also hinted at in the flashback, as he was kind enough to hide her while she watched
him and Silver spar.
They also have both one true goal in common, like Silver did – legacy.
Kim Da-Eun wants her grandfather's teachings to be known, and Kreese wants his legacy to
live on through the teachings of Cobra Kai.
If it came down to it, I also wouldn't be surprised if Kim Da-Eun helped Kreese with
his legal problems, knowing that Silver was too caught up in the rivalry with Daniel,
betrayed John Kreese, and used so many underhanded tactics to again, fabricate his reputation.
If Kreese takes the reins and partners up with Kim Da-Eun and her students (as Cobra
Kai has lost all of the students Silver recruited at this point, or most), Johnny and Daniel
will meet him on the mat once again.
The third storyline is the Miyagi Fang alliance and how they will handle the Seikai Taikai.
Again, assuming that Kim, Kreese, and/or Silver (or any combination of the 2 of those 3) are
still planning to enter to the Seikai Taikai with Kim's dojo, Miyagi-Fang will have to
take the fight to them on a global scale.
I would imagine that the stakes would be really high, whether it is another agreement that
this time is honored and verified by independent sources (meaning no refs that can be paid
off, a contract in writing, and even more strict boundaries of no dojos fighting until
the tournament).
I believe at this point that both Daniel and Johnny are on pretty good terms to continue
working together, and it will be more of a matter to get the students to keep working
together, in the instance that Tory joins and starts working together with Sam.
If we do see a sensei vs sensei fight, I don't foresee any of the male senseis fighting Kim
Da-Eun, as Cobra Kai has had a history with keeping intergender fighting very brief or
ambiguous enough to where it doesn't affect that fighter's standing.
For example, Tory getting the last laugh with both Robby and Miguel, despite taking hits
from both of them the majority of each fight.
Unless Chozen or Mike Barnes knows someone that they can call on to fight, the only logical
person I can think of that would come into the mix who knows karate would be Julie Pierce,
the only other teenage to have been taught directly by Mr. Miyagi.
This would be a nice way to write her in, as the writers have confirmed that she and
Daniel met at Mr. Miyagi's funeral, and they slowly start making more and more subtle references
to either her character, or The Next Karate Kid.
Last but not least, I'm going to explore one of the darkest theories I've covered yet.
Here is your warning to skip ahead, as it does deal with traumatic events of losing
family members, so if you are sensitive to this type of content, I'll give you a few
seconds to skip to the next chapter.
I think it's important to explore all possibilities, and I hope that I am dead wrong about this,
but as we've seen all the parallels and similarities to Johnny Lawrence and Mr. Miyagi... we could
see a parallel where Johnny faces a medical emergency with Carmen, just how Mr. Miyagi
lost both his wife and son due to complications at birth.
This happened while Mr. Miyagi was away fighting during World War II, and in the event something
happens with Carmen, Johnny may have to bow out to help Carmen or attempt to be there
for her and the baby.
I don't think that the show would pull the rug out from under us like that, but we also
know how much they love to parallel the movies, whether it's the good, bad, or the ugly, and
right now anything is fair game until Season 6 is here.
That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing what Cobra Kai has in store for us come Season
6.
While we don't have a definitive release date yet or word if Netflix has renewed it for
the next season, as the Big 3 are also working on Obliterated, I think that will also give
them more time to line out the ideas they had in mind for the new season.
I'll be waiting to hear the news myself, and until then, keep an eye out for future videos.
