netflix's cobra kai is a continuation of
the classic 1980s franchise the karate
kid picking up decades after good guy
daniel larusso defeats his rival johnny
lawrence in a karate tournament we find
johnny's life hasn't turned out quite
the way he wanted it to johnny was now
living in a rundown apartment and
working as a part-time handyman his wife
has left him and he has little
relationship with his teenage son robbie
and on top of that johnny is constantly
plagued by ads for daniel larusso's auto
dealership leading to even more
resentment that his rival has found such
great success after being fired from his
job johnny encounters his new teenage
neighbor miguel being attacked by a
group of bullies and uses karate to
intervene miguel is a nerdy outcast at
school who is impressed by johnny's
skills and implores him to train him and
so johnny is inspired to reopen his old
cobra kai dojo kobra kai quickly
recruits more outcasts including
miguel's friend lip nicknamed after a
facial scar the cobra kai of johnny's
day was more cutthroat and antagonistic
and while none of the rules of the dojo
have changed johnny does try to impart
on his students more honor than johnny's
sensei john crease ever did quickly the
bullied out cast of cobra kai are taught
not only about karate but about
camaraderie and confidence johnny
teaches lit to flip the narrative about
his scar so he starts styling his hair
into a mohawk and starts going by the
name hawk and johnny grows even closer
to miguel forming a relationship similar
to mr miyagi and daniel from the
original karate kid film meanwhile
johnny's son robbie begins working for
daniel larusso at his car dealership
daniel is unaware that robbie's father
is johnny and takes the teenager under
his wing eventually beginning to mentor
him in karate of course when johnny
finds out about all this he's furious
and the old rivalry between johnny and
daniel is fully reignited complicating
things even more is that daniel's
teenage daughter sam gets involved in a
bit of a love triangle with both miguel
and robbie at the 50th anniversary
karate championship the students of
cobra kai fight dirty using similar
tactics johnny's old sensei kris had
instructed him to use in his original
fight against daniel robbie also enters
the tournament and fights hawke in the
semi-finals hawk plays dirty and is
disqualified after dislocating robbie's
shoulder in the final round it's miguel
vs robbie miguel starts targeting
robbie's injured shoulder and eventually
wins the fight and therefore the
tournament as his students celebrate
johnny is actually dismayed to realize
he may have corrupted his students and
is resolved to do better at imparting
wisdom and character meanwhile daniel
takes an injured robbie to the home of
his now deceased sensei mr miyagi daniel
explains to robbie that he was going to
be opening up his own dojo here called
miyagido as season one comes to a close
a drunken johnny is confronted by his
old sensei crease who praises johnny for
reopening kobrakai in season two of
cobra kai johnny agrees to let an
apologetic crease rejoin kobrakai as ko
sensei johnny has also resolved to do
better by his students and his son
although robbie turns down his father's
apologies the cobra kai dojo grows more
popular and one of the new students is
tori who miguel begins to date miguel
and hawk's old friend dimitri tries to
join cobra kai but kris punches him and
hawk mocks him causing dimitri to join
miyagido instead and over at miyagido
daniel has asked robbie to move in with
him and his family daniel also begins
training robbie and his daughter sam who
are now officially dating when miguel
discovers that robbie is johnny's son
johnny explains to him how he failed
once as a father but promised to do
better by miguel miguel tries to warn
johnny that crease was a bad influence
on the students but johnny believes that
if he deserved a second chance then so
did kris but kris might not be worthy of
that second chance as the sensei
instructs hawk to break into the miyagi
dojo and trash the place even stealing
mr miyagi's medal of honor daniel
believing johnny to be responsible
confronts his old rival at the kobrikai
dojo which causes many of the students
to leave and join miyagido fearing
johnny was a bad guy the problem is
exacerbated when johnny goes to visit a
terminally ill friend in his absence
kris fully takes over cobra kai and
continues to impart more cutthroat and
villainous tactics upon his return
johnny expels kris from kobrakai and
miguel fights hawke taking back mr
miyagi's medal of honor and giving it to
robbie to return to its proper place
jonny and daniel begin to bond and
johnny even confesses his continued
feelings for their mutual ex-girlfriend
ally johnny also develops feelings for
miguel's mother carmen and the two begin
to date at a huge house party sam kisses
miguel after realizing he returned mr
miyagi's medal of honor torrey sees the
kiss and is saddened robbie unaware that
sam kissed miguel takes a drunken sam
over to johnny's apartment fearing that
daniel would be upset about their
drunken night out johnny agrees to let
them spend the night but daniel finds
out and storms over to the apartment
taking sam and banishing robbie from his
home and his dojo and to make matters
worse at school the next day tori
announces over the pa system that she
saw miguel and sam kissing revealing to
robbie that he had been cheated on tori
and sam then start a fight that
escalates into an entire school brawl
miguel and robbie begin a fight and
miguel eventually gains the upper hand
but remembering what johnny has taught
him he shows robbie mercy a bitter
robbie takes this opportunity to attack
miguel accidentally knocking miguel off
the balcony rendering him paralyzed and
unconscious robbie flees the scene and
miguel is rushed to the hospital in the
aftermath of the fight daniel's wife
amanda forces him to shut down miyagido
carmen breaks up with johnny and the
students of kobrakai blame him for
teaching miguel to show mercy so they
now followed crease as their sensei as
season 2 comes to a close a guilt
written johnny throws his phone away
unaware that his old flame ally had just
sent him a friend request on facebook in
season 3 of cobra kai everyone is still
reeling from the massive school fight in
the season 2 finale sam begins suffering
from ptsd due to her fight with tori
miguel is told he may never walk again
and robbie is on the run johnny and
daniel temporarily put their differences
aside to find robbie who daniel turns
into the authorities in the hopes of
earning him a lesser sentence robbie
feels betrayed by daniel and now feels
resentful of both daniel and johnny in
the aftermath of the school fight daniel
has shut down miyagido and his car
dealership isn't looking too great
either a rival businessman makes an
exclusive deal with japanese car and
porter doyona that would put daniel out
of business daniel then travels to tokyo
to try to renegotiate a deal but
ultimately fails dejected daniel decides
to go to mr miyagi's hometown of okinawa
as seen in the karate kid part 2 and
reconnects with his old flame kumiko and
his former rival chosen they both
inspire and reinvigorate daniel to top
it all off daniel meets yuna the vice
president of sales for doyona who just
so happened to be the young girl he
saved from a typhoon and karate kid too
yuna allows daniel's dealership to
remain partnered with oyona and so
daniel returns to america re-inspired
and with his business saved and after
talking to his daughter sam about the
trauma she was suffering from after her
fight with tori daniel imparts some
wisdom on his daughter and decides to
reopen miyagido meanwhile johnny stays
by miguel's side and helps train and
rehabilitate him eventually helping
miguel to walk again this brings him
back closer to miguel's mother carmen
just as his high school girlfriend ally
returns to town johnny and ally
reconnect and she further inspires
johnny to stay on his path of redemption
but that's easier said than done as john
crease has now fully taken over the
cobra kai dojo and further poisons the
minds of its students kris begins
bringing in new members to join cobra
kai mostly athletic bullies and kicks
out anyone who objects to his ruthless
methods throughout the season the
members of cobra kai led by hak and tori
continue to violently antagonize the
former students of miyagidou this
eventually leads to hawk breaking the
arm of his former best friend dimitri
further bolstering kobrakai is the
addition of robbie who is fresh out of
juvi and harboring a lot of bitterness
toward johnny and daniel for seemingly
betraying him johnny then starts his own
new dojo eagle fang karate with miguel
as his first student when miguel and sam
rekindle their relationship they also
strike up an alliance with eagle fang
and miyagido to take down kobrakai when
kobrakai attacks the newly aligned dojos
at daniel larusso's house sam conquers
her fears and defeats tori while hawk
finally has a change of heart and joins
his old friends in defeating the bullies
after learning of the cobra kai's
assault on the larusso house johnny and
daniel confront chris who now had robbie
fully on his side crease agreed to leave
if cobra kai lost the upcoming karate
tournament and then makes a call to his
old pal terry silver from karate kid
part 3 to join his dojo and so johnny
and daniel put aside their differences
and merged their dojos working as
co-senseis to train their students to
take down cobra kai once and for all
