if johnny and i can actually work
together and we win cobra kai will be
out of business
you got to take things to the next level
well we're picking up right at the end
of the bow i mean these guys are coming
together with best of intentions and
that's a big moment for them to bow to
each other uh it's a sign of respect
which is the last you know the last time
they bowed to each other was before
daniel craig kicked them you know in
1984. so here they are working together
the beauty of is like they have no plan
which is love
like they really
we're gonna do we're together it's us
and this is what we're doing no it's not
yes it is not the way i thought about it
it begins to unravel right away even
though their intentions are good and
their eye on the prize is exactly the
same but they don't know how to not push
each other's buttons i just want what's
best for miguel and all of your students
so now you know what's best for miguel
and so it's the joy of
the adversarialness
for lack of a better word of these two
carriages and
the fact that they really care and want
to do the right thing and stumbling and
falling forward as we always uh always
say it's really enjoyable to watch these
guys work together and fall apart
together at the same time and then add
to that all these other interconnecting
stories in both generations and the
younger cast and you know it builds from
there and it's all heading toward the uh
all valley tournament in a ultimate
super bowl showdown that does not
disappoint
at the beginning of the season you find
hawk trying to mend a lot of broken
relationships he's burned a lot of
bridges and is
just trying to get back into the good
graces of
his friends and rightfully so because he
was
quite the dick
tighten that chord at the beginning of
this season he's kind of getting
reacquainted with his binary bro and
getting back into the groove of things
training for the all valley uh he's got
a new
uh girlfriend
i guess you could call we don't want to
put a label
um
jasmine and uh yeah he's just really
living his best life i think miguel is i
feel like he's always kind of between
two
options whether it be like
johnny and daniel i i feel like he's uh
very easily swayed so he's kind of just
like all right i will show my allegiance
to whoever comes on and and teaches me
something new so so i think um season
four is really going to be a defining
point in in figuring out like what what
he wants to go with i i think i like
that's that's all what it comes down to
and and hopefully he makes the right
decision and if he doesn't then
hopefully he's able to bounce back like
he always does
everybody thinks their way is the only
way
you
my dad cobra kind robbie's just trying
to figure his life out i think he's very
confused into season three he's on the
side of koberkai he has to reevaluate
everything and everyone in his life and
every relationship he's ever had and
kind of needs to decide where he's gonna
go from here on out in his life
and he's gotta figure it out kind of
fast before you know and decide which
path he's gonna take
[Music]
i think you know samantha's journey from
the very beginning i think before we
even meet samantha you know in season
one she is
the version of this 16 year old girl who
maybe already started to see that she
doesn't
want the generational pass down just
because it's the generational pass down
like she wants to be separate from the
version of her that her this daddy's
little girl and just following in her
father's footsteps so you know we see
that initially with her and then we see
her refined karate but but i think
something that's really cool is is that
we are talked about as the next
generation right of this franchise and
the saga and kind of the where it goes
and so we wouldn't have what we have if
it weren't for what generationally has
been passed down in terms of teaching
from our senseis that every one of us
get throughout the show
but i think that there's something
really beautiful about you know
especially these kids are gen z and gen
z is breaking the mold and they're
breaking the cycle and that's kind of
like the overall theme is not taking
anybody's crap anymore and not just
trusting somebody because you're
supposed to but rather so because you
earn a mutual trust you're gonna jump
from this roof
to that one
what
are you crazy i think these kids are
kind of starting to figure out that like
all this stuff that's been handed down
to them maybe
uh it became their own problems and now
they're like wait a minute no like let
me shake that off and i still have a
beef with you but it's my own beef i
came up with this all by myself it's my
own problem you know these characters
are they have to get out of their own
way sometimes you know to get over and
see we all do you know we sometimes have
our own we're sending fighting ourselves
you know i know that's the case for
johnny lawrence many times you know if
he could you know he's he's constantly
at war with with his self and his past
so hopefully he lands on his feet but
you know it's uh it's one step forward
two steps back sometimes the other way
around i think the journey leads daniel
to
um understanding
and certainly through the next
generation and his relationship with his
daughter
this friction there as we as parents
want the best for our kids then we
sometimes you have to take a step back
you know give them roots and wings at
the same time you know
so it's finding your own way through
all of the teachings you know it's not
uh it's not as linear as this is the
only way um and i think that's that's
important a life lesson uh going forward
um for for anyone and i think that's the
karate kid had that in its dna from the
get-go and cobra kai uh carries that on
uh as
be it a different tone at times it
always it doesn't let go of the roots of
of the storytelling of the in the karate
kid universe or the miyagi
let's be verses
[Music]
